    GDC 2005: Meqon Physics

    Meqon's 2.0 physics suite is causing quite a stir at this year's Game Developers Conference. The physics middleware program, most notably employed by 3D Realms in its mysterious Duke Nukem Forever title, claims to boast more lifelike physical interactions than anything else on the market.

    LOL, I've heard about this one. Cant wait to finally see it in action when DNF or more probably, some other gaming employing the engine will come out. Hmm, all the physics goodness of Havok 2.0 is already outdated. BTW, talking about the GDC 05, weren't they supposed to showcase the PS3 and the XBox 2 this year at the GDC. My connection's gone kaput, so I've got to wait and check it out. I dont think they've unveiled it yet, otherwise the news blogs would be overflowing right about now. Maybe we gotta wait until May and the E3.

    The cloth movement looks realistic. The box movement is ok. Wonder how well will it translate into a game using this physics engine.
