3D Realms selects Meqon as physics provider for Duke Nukem Forever
Norrköping, Sweden – 27th of September, Meqon, an up and comer in the physics middleware industry, announced they have been selected by 3D Realms as the physics engine provider for their long awaited game Duke Nukem Forever.
Meqon has been focusing on creating the most easy to use and flexible physics engine in existence. George Broussard, CEO of 3D Realms backs them up - “We evaluated several physics SDK's and Meqon was really fast, had the cleanest interface and integrated into our game very quickly."
The physics engine does not only handle basic rigid body simulation, but extends into character and vehicle enhanced physics as well. Mr Broussard comments, “With its advanced feature set, we feel confident that Meqon's next generation physics engine can help us create the next generation of action games.”

For the youngsters:

I'm tellin' ya right now (NO ONE ever listens to me), if an enterprising soul could use the tech from the Space-orb (also used in Logitechs Cyberman 2 and other products for CAD design http://www.3dconnexion.com/products.htm ) a very good mouse emulation hybrid gamepad for FPS games on consoles could be made. It would sell BIG TIME! MS came pretty close with the Dual Strike ( http://activewin.com/reviews/hardware/joysticks/microsoft/dual_strike/index.shtml ) but it was built for PC's which is redundant as, obviously, the PC already has the perfect control scheme. For consoles though, it would be a godsend.
someone PLEASE build something like this.
