Im not a smart guy when it comes to tech...so...its a better tool to develop games?

Counter_ACT6868d ago

I think its an engine which can be licensed. I dunno if you realised, but a few games for PS3 (but not just PS3, mind) say "Havoc" when they start up. Thats the Havoc engine, which is a physics engine. I think this is the same kind of thing but for character animation.

EMotion FX is a realtime character animation system designed to be plugged into any 3D engine, game or any other product.

Basically it allows natural looking and animated characters in a game.

If this tools, is gona give more help to developers to tap in to the PS3 power, that can't be a bad think. If its gona help make characters more Natural hey by all mean thats a good thing. Well lets see what this tool will end up making in the future.

DiLeCtioN6868d ago

is this giving more advantage to the ps3 or just another tool?

AllroundGamer6868d ago (Edited 6868d ago )

middleware is always good, licensing costs money, but is saving some time to the developers that can be used for other important things.

Edit: http://www.highend3d.com/ne... i hope this link will help to understand, what is it about :)

ARVO6868d ago

But hopefully this actually is intuitive and doesn't require extensive learning, like current middleware for the delay-station. If it makes characters look better at all would be a good thing, and anything that makes programming that beast easier is a godsend.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle16d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
