MT Framework is an exclusive seventh generation game engine built to be used with "all of the Capcom next-generation games"[citation needed] on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 (and later on the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and the Playstation Vita), as commented by Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Devil May Cry 4, and Resident Evil 5. MT is meant to stand for "Multi-Thread", "Meta Tools" and "Multi-Target". Originally meant to be an outside engine, but none matched their specific requirements in performance and flexibility. Games using the MT Framework are originally developed on the PC and then ported to the other two platforms.[citation needed] Keiji Inafune mentioned in an interview with 1UP that the lead programmer for MT Framework designed the engine specifically for Dead Rising, Lost Planet, and Mega Man Legends 3, which Inafune has been hoping to make for several years.[1] MT Framework 2.0, which was first introduced with Lost Planet 2, provides better visuals over its predecessor.[2]
Background and history
Capcom started working in the MT Framework in September 2004. The project started with only one programmer, he was creating this engine based in Onimusha 3 engine. In 2005, more people started to join the project by upgrading the codes. The MT framework can create a motion blur using the multithreading techniques, they called it "2.5D motion blur". This technique is based on "NVIDIA OpenGL Shader Tricks" by Simon Green at the Game Developers Conference 2003. Therefore, the engine is able to use the full potential of the asynchronously multicore CPUs that are powering both of the Xbox 360 and the PS3.[3]
