More on PowerPlay

Gamecenter has posted a brief article on PowerPlay, the new venture started by Valve Software and Cisco Systems that aims to make multiplayer online gaming better by working directly with ISPs. The piece has quotes from Valve's Gabe Newell, but also Epic's Tim Sweeney, who says they will be incorporating PowerPlay features into the Unreal Tournament engine with future patches. Here's what Tim had to say:

"We'll be supporting the new game-side PowerPlay features in Unreal Tournament," Sweeney said, "released as patches since the game is already out. In addition, all the support we add will become standard features of the Unreal engine, and thus will make it into the products of our partners who are using the Unreal engine.

"PowerPlay will do lots of cool things," Sweeney continued. "Rather than being a spec for a very specific technology, PowerPlay is more of a broad, end-to-end set of solutions and recommendations, encompassing some new technologies, some tweaks, and a general awareness campaign to educate ISPs about gamers' needs."
