Deus Ex 2 Details

by Steve Gibson, Aug 19, 2000 5:44pm PDT

Along with the announcement of Deus Ex 2 comes the question of what engine technology will these guys use? GameSpy got a hold of Warren Spector (the project lead) and asked that question among others. Its some pretty interesting stuff, Here was his response on the engine:

We're evaluating engine technology now. Whatever we use--whether it's the next generation of Unreal technology, Quake 3, LithTech or whatever--we'll make sure it has no problem with nVidia.
No problems with NVidia = a good thing.

  • It's time once again for Dr.Lao's joke of the day



    An old guy's car collides with a young guy's car and both are demolished. The two crawl out of the wreckage, amazed that neither of them was hurt in the accident.
    The old guy says, "Look at this miracle! This must surely be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live our lives in peace for the rest of our days."
    "Sure," says the young guy, convinced the old man's crazy.
    "And look at this!" says the old guy, reaching back into his car. "A miracle! My car is demolished, but this bottle of 12-year-old Scotch didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink and celebrate our good fortune."
    Again the young guy agrees, so the old guy opens the bottle and passes it to him. The young guy smiles and takes several huge swigs, then tries to hand it to the old guy, who, to his surprise, refuses. "Aren't you having any?" asks the young guy. "No, thanks," replies the old guy. "I'll wait for the police."

  • Stunning announcement. We are writing a game that will work on people's computers. I tried the demo. Athlon 750...GeForce DDR...made me run in 640x480 and ran extremely poorly in many places...and not above 20-25 frames in most others. The game sounds cool, but they didn't write it for me...they wrote it for Voodoo users. Considering how many NVidia cards there are out there, I find it somewhat disengenuous of those reviewers that give it a HUGE thumbs up and off-handedly mention that it runs quite poorly in Direct3D...which means for a lot of people.
