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.”
Personaly I think they have a developed such a rich and deep story line that no one in their original target audience would be able to understand it. That's why they are waiting till their audience reaches the new target age group of about 40 something.
It could just be that they are seriously lacking any developement talent.
id have written and released Quake 3+Team Arena and Doom 3 in the same time span. That's two new graphics engines, two sound engines and a physics engine all written by id. On top of that they support countless other dev teams who license id engines and have gone on to produce some of the biggest titles in the last 5 years. ( RtCW / Moh / CoD / Sof I&II / Elite Force I&II to name a few )
Plus how long were crytek going before releasing FarCry ? with it's impressive new engine & physics etc.
DNF & HL2 are the biggest hyped games to ever almost exist. I believe that both will look dated by the time they actually hit store shelfs. ( assuming they make it at all ).
