2005 Game Developers Conference

Since the 2005 Game Developers Conference is well underway, we are getting treated to some tasty bites of gaming goodness lately.


Powered by Unreal Engine 3

Epic Games demoed the latest version of their next generation Engine, simply called Unreal Engine 3. If last years screenshots are any indication of where this technology is headed then we are in for a real treat when the games based on this engine get released. According to Epic, video cards based on the NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT or higher should run these games just fine.

Microsoft announced they are licensing the Unreal 3 Engine for some of their next generation Xbox 2 titles.

Microsoft also used the 2005 GDC to officially announce the details of their next generation Xbox 2 platform.

Meqon provided a closed door demo of their physics engine which 3D Realms choose for their vaporware product, Duke Nukem Forever. Apparently the demo was very impressive and comparisons to Half-Life 2's physics were made. Meqon also is providing its physics tools for the Xbox 2.
