i don't know what you think specular maps are, but your voodoo2 can do specular maps.Visualante said:
if you mean normal mapping with pronounced specularity - then no, the wii won't do that, but it can do EMBM instead with just as pronounced specularity, so there you go.

There, Capcom was able to sneak in a Wii screen.
Big words... make... head... hurt.
Honestly, we can't say whether the Wii can do pronounced specularity. People thought the Wii couldn't do normal mapping in the first place. I'm no programmer so I don't know the work that goes into it. I will say I'd be more impress if they were able to implement parallax mapping on the Wii. At least it's be more useful than having specularity on normal maps.

I'll be on there shortly, I have just started my adventure.
I downloaded it, looked like a shiner and cleaner version of the PSP game
As long as the Wii one looks clean I will be fine, I have no problem with the PSP graphics and trust Capcom to not just crap out something (they have done really well with the Wii since launch)
And I don't worry about waggle either, from all the games they put out they seem to be one of the few that does not put waggle for the sake of waggle (see RE4, REUC, Zack and Wiki)

Heh, seems movement motion blur, dof, self-shadowing and some specular normal maps do wonders to PS2 assets. This looks very nice in motion (and it ran gracefully on my 8600gt).
But there's no way the self-shadowing and the motion blur would make it into a Wii version. Maybe the specular effects, since Capcom already got it working in RE4 (regenerators) and RE:UC (the scorpion, the snake).

And people were right - because it doesn't.Cow Mengde said:
It can do er... 'reasonable' approximation through EMBM, but that was known since 1999 when Matrox first unveilled it in their own graphic cards.
If you want to do it without all the arbitrary restrictions, you are stuck doing it the same way as it was done on good old PS2 - multipass SW emulation.
Not that it particularly matters because it seems most ppl only look for specular/slimy bumps as evidence of "normal/bump maps" and that is pretty much the main function of EMBM.
Considering the other PC versions DO NOT have translation mods.Odrion said:
No, slimmer than Alley McBeal.

Ah, for those curious about it, a quick look at the installed files reveals that this version of MHF is indeed using the Framework engine.
Just to confirm it, I opened the MHF executable on a hex editor alongside with DMC4 demo's and did a search for "framework" on both: http://i28.tinypic.com/2zhfbj8.png

If Factor 5 was making it, sure. Capcom has done some good stuff on GameCube hardware, but I imagine the engine is from the other MH games.

So the Wii finally gets graphics better than an eight year old system and people are celebrating?
Sorry to bump an old thread, but as of recently the Korean version is free to play.

I wonder what people think about MH3 vs Frontier now..
Doesn't matter though, because I'm sure MH3 is the bigger seller. Right?

You do and thats illegal, some play on the Japanese servers which cost and you cant speak a single word of english outside of your "guild" chat and party chat but most dont even risk that ive read because you then get the ban hammer.
I gave it a try and it looks really really good but I couldnt find my usb-ps2 controller and pc controls are horrendous so switched it off.
Not to mention I cant understand a lick of japanese :lol

Yeah its rather long winded (cant remember where I found the guide for it tbh try google though) and the Japanese version has a free period from HR1-3 I think it was so thats how I was able to try it.
