Codemaster's "Neon Engine" for PS3 is for everyone!
British game publisher and developer Codemasters have developed their own engine for the PS3 from scratch over the last year and a half. Dubbed the "Neon Engine", boasting the exploitation of "something" Sony was developing internally for a long time (the motion controls? They aren't too specific...). Said Codemasters, "We looked around at the Renderwares and the Unreals, but nothing really fulfilled our requirements – specifically for the PS3, anyway."
What is a surprise, however, is the cross-platform functionality of this new engine. Codemasters explains why they chose to go with the engine as cross-platform in a Sony-flattering manner. They said "Sony realizes that the only way to make next-gen viable for everyone was to allow everyone to exploit technology." Okay. Well, if anyone wants to see this engine in action, scope out Colin McRae DIRT. It's coming to the PS360.
