Suda 51's new horror game to use Unreal Engine 3

Remember back when Mark Rein let loose somebody was working on Unreal Engine 3 for Wii? Well, we finally know what game will be using it, we guess. Kind of. We don't really know much about the exact game, per se. What game? The one that EA is publishing from Q Entertainment, Resident Evil co-creator Shinji Mikami and the man responsible for one of our most favorite Wii games, Suda51. Suda says Unreal Engine 3 is a "powerful, easy-to-implement game engine" that is aiding his company to "quickly bring our vision to life." He also added that the "tools and technology" allow him to "create games faster, easier and with less risk." So are we excited? Well, maybe. It's not like the Wii version is mentioned and we would think it should be, considering no title up until now has utilized Unreal Engine 3 technology. But, hey, we'll try to be as optimistic as we can, because we feel confident in the abilities of all involved, to tell the truth.
Now if only we could some information on what this game is ...

Glad to hear Suda 51 is coming back to Wii for more!

This generation has taught me to be wary of multi-platform development.
I don't know, it is Suda, and he is wearing an England shirt, so it can't be all bad, huh.

Easy, it's a fleshed out version of the fight against Bad Girl
Tell me a game about a psycho alcoholic killer with a bloody, dented bat and an infinite supply of clones to kill wouldn't be freaky as hell.

You're kinda jumping to conclusions there.
Personally, even though Mikami is apparently a self-descried Nintendo fan and Suda saw relatively good sales with NMH...us Wii fans have been battered too many times to assume that this game is using UE3 and will be on par with the PS360 versions.
Besides, Gearbox are the ones supposedly trying to get UE3 on the Wii.

Then lets hope this PERFECT GAME is Wii exclusive

Wow, Unreal Engine 3 for the Wii !? Great, I am sure it will open the flood gates for many more ports and might rescues us from the appalling graphics of recent Wii titles - Alone in the Dark *shudder*
"Gears of Wii" anyone? ;-)
Can't wait to see how this fares along-side competition from High Voltage's engine.
...isn't Resident Evil 5 based on Unreal Engine 3 :-O

I just read on gamespot that not only will this new game be multiplatform, but it probably won't be on the wii because the developers don't think the wii can handle it.
