Euphoria at Rockstar Games... - News

Print Euphoria Motion Synthesis Engine is a new technology created by NaturalMotion that can be used to animate in-game characters in a very realistic manner. Rather than having pre-defined paths that game characters follow, this technology allows the designer to uniquely define that aspect. LucasArts recently draw the attention to this tech by showing video demonstrations of its new game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Rockstar has announced that it will be using euphoria for some of its future projects. We don't know for sure what projects will be using the tech, but since Grand Theft Auto IV is set to be released this October, we can only hope it will be it.
"euphoria is about giving people an interactive experience they have never seen before. We now have the processing power to simulate humans, and the possibilities for games are endless," said NaturalMotion CEO Torsten Reil. "In Rockstar, we have found a partner that shares this vision, and is renowned for creating some of the most ground-breaking and immersive games in the industry. We are thrilled and honored to work with a partner of such high caliber, and look forward to helping create amazing titles."

| Grand Theft Auto IV January 6, 2009 After six months from the first review on Games32 regarding the XBOX 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV, I was eager to test myself what exactly has to offer this game. Two weeks ago I put my hands on a PC copy, hoping to discover why was this game so acclaimed and why many of the critics considered it to be one of the best games from the modern era. And I'm pretty sure that somehow I've figured it out.

| Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge December 17, 2008 The latest addition to the Jagged Alliance series, although developed by a different company and having a slightly different title, tries and succeeds to some extent, in preserving the authentic feeling of a classical turn-based tactical game. Severe aiming problems and a handful of bugs that plague the entire gameplay are hurting Hired Guns and we can only hope they'll be dealt with in the upcoming patches.

| Sacred 2: Fallen Angel December 12, 2008 The world of Ancaria just got bigger and more magical than
ever after a four years wait and intense development with Sacred 2, the latest
baby from Ascaron. This second game wearing the Sacred name brings a lot of
improvements and new things to the franchise, starting with a brand new full 3D
graphic engine, and ending up with a lot of changes in the crafting, leveling
and skill trees. But...

| Motorm4x October 16, 2008 Developed by former guys from Illusion Softworks (known for Mafia), MOTORM4X is a mixture of 1NSANE and Screamer 4x4. Keeping in mind these were off-road racing games, MOTORM4X follows the same idea, featuring non-linear events (similar to GTA concept) and a physics engine that might excel even Baja: Edge of Control.

| PT Boats: Knights of the Sea October 3, 2008 I was among the lucky few who got the chance of playing the demo version of the highly anticipated title from Akella: "PT Boats: Knights of the Sea", and I must say this naval combat simulator has all the assets needed to become the next big thing in the genre industry. The dazzling graphics, complex yet accessible gameplay, real life inspired scenarios and the unique flavor of a maritime confrontation all in the background of the ever intriguing World War 2 concur in creating a game of huge potential.

| James Bond: Quantum of Solace the Game September 25, 2008
I was really impressed when I saw the gameplay on the new
James Bond video game. I believe things are finally looking up for gamers who
want to see their favorite movies on their computers or consoles. And that's
because the developers are paying more attention and the big movie companies
understand the profit to be made out of this. Plus, they understand that they
can't just shove down a dev's throat a game project two month before the movie
released and say "have it done by then".
