Rockstar euphoric over NaturalMotion
NaturalMotion, the company behind the animation of both 'Indiana Jones' and 'Star Wars: The Force Unleashed', has announced a partnership with Rockstar Games to integrate NaturalMotion's revolutionary euphoria engine into upcoming next-generation Rockstar Games' titles. The news comes after "several months of close collaboration" between the two companies, with the level of euphoria's integration into Rockstar's upcoming next-generation titles described as "well advanced". Based on NaturalMotion's DMS technology, euphoria uses the processing power of PS3 and Xbox 360 to simulate the human body and motor nervous system, thus creating fully interactive game characters that act differently every time. With euphoria, games move away from canned animation, towards a much richer, life-like experience that is unique to the player.
Manhunt 2 Announced
The title developed a cult following, apparently large enough for Rockstar to begin work on Manhunt 2, which is coming to the PS2, Wii and PSP this summer. Here's the official release with all the details: Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., is proud to announce Manhunt 2 for the PlayStation 2 system, PSP system, and Nintendo's Wii. Manhunt 2 is the debut title from the newly formed Rockstar London studio, which is developing the game in conjunction with series creator Rockstar North. The Wii version is being developed by Rockstar Toronto. Manhunt 2 will be available this summer. "With Manhunt 2 we have tried to create a game that stays close to the original concept of chilling suspense and stealth, whilst pushing the game design and storytelling forward," said Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games.
