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.”
"A mouse with a controll pad built into it (maybe by the thumb) so you can move your body and your head all with just one mouse. No need for the keyboard. Whacha think?"
Think that you don't want to require thumb dexterity on a controller that you are moving around the desk. On the other hand, I think it would awesome if they made on of those Nosotromo Speedpads with PS2-like analog joystick on the side instead of the current, difficult to use joypad.
I'm still waiting for someone to develop eye-tracking controllers that see where you are looking at and move your view or cursor accordingly. That will rock.
P.S. I could never get my Space Orb to work well on anything except Descent, for which it is still the best controller EVAR!...hmmm...think I'll reinstall that one tommorrow.
