With the Euphoria engine, animations are generated on the fly by the CPU as the game is played “to provide unprecedented interactivity and realism and give users a true next-generation gaming experience”.
In case you didn’t know, this engine is also being used by Lucas Arts for their upcoming next gen Indiana Jones and Star Wars games.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
