MT Framework
open-in-new
<p>MT Framework is a <a href="/facts/Game_engine/lojx7lTG">game engine</a> created by <a href="/facts/Capcom/XBPVAyhV">Capcom</a>. "MT" stands for "Multi-Thread", "Meta Tools" and "Multi-Target". While initially MT Framework was intended to power 2006's <i><a href="/facts/Dead_Rising/987DLL3r">Dead Rising</a></i> and <i><a href="/facts/Lost_Planet%3a_Extreme_Condition/G8tmMRTS">Lost Planet: Extreme Condition</a></i> only, Capcom later decided for their internal development divisions to adopt it as their default engine. As a result, the vast majority of their internally developed video games for the <a href="/facts/PlayStation_3/obhuo97V">PlayStation 3</a> and <a href="/facts/Xbox_360/dYlE3mL5">Xbox 360</a> platforms were created on it, including four new titles and three <a href="/facts/Remaster/nmK6ELGp">remastered ports</a> of past titles in the <i><a href="/facts/Resident_Evil/FpwRBJUs">Resident Evil</a></i> series. The visuals of the first games built with the engine were well received, and MT Framework has also won a <a href="/facts/CEDEC_Awards/Ubb0zmC5">CEDEC award</a>. </p><p>Throughout the years MT Framework received various updates, most significant of which was a major revision called MT Framework 2.0, introduced with <i><a href="/facts/Lost_Planet_2/zQTSBmv9">Lost Planet 2</a></i> in 2010. Additionally, two offshoots of the engine have been made; MT Framework Lite targets the <a href="/facts/Wii/BxUgl2da">Wii</a> and PlayStation 3 consoles, and MT Framework Mobile powers games for the <a href="/facts/Nintendo_3DS/nXIxNh1b">Nintendo 3DS</a>, <a href="/facts/PlayStation_Vita/KEvRtFjD">PlayStation Vita</a>, <a href="/facts/Android_(operating_system)/nNyHb0xz">Android</a> and <a href="/facts/IOS/mK5cggH5">iOS</a>. </p><p>As of 2014, Capcom's stance on the future of the engine is that while it will continue to be used to create games for the <a href="/facts/Seventh_generation_of_video_game_consoles/GqDzTFmr">seventh generation of video game consoles</a>, <a href="/facts/Smartphone/cSIrBMWG">smartphones</a> and <a href="/facts/Handheld_game_console/l1hmKVPx">handhelds</a>. <a href="/facts/RE_Engine/Ttoxhu8p">RE Engine</a>, which was used to develop <i><a href="/facts/Resident_Evil_7%3a_Biohazard/n54MyMCL">Resident Evil 7: Biohazard</a></i>, serves as the successor to the engine for developing games for the <a href="/facts/Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles/ATJVb6Sf">eighth generation of video game consoles</a>. </p>
