GTA4 will be using this tech.

000

So GTA4 will have Havok, Euphoria, and IMT engines all working together in a huge, open and detailed environment.

Welcome to the 21st century, where graphic is the only thing that matters in gaming.

So nervin you said GTA4 is using this, what about Star Wars the Force Unleashed? Is it using the Havok, Euphoria, and IMT engines? Or just the Havok and Euphoria engines?

Star Wars: Force Unleashed will be using Havok, Euphoria, and DMM. To my knowledge, it won’t be using IMT.

To me, when people try to imitate reality as much as possible using image metrics, I say they are.

That’s facial animations. Not graphics.

And you did not read my rant carefully enough.

So if you say a motorcycle is a car, then it must be a car just because both have tires??? Nice.

Again, you did not read.

It clearly says 'to me...' So, to me, it counts as a graphic, though you may not consider it as one.
Therefore, it does not have to follow your logic.

I was asking a question, you didn’t take it as one. You ignored.

Not exactly. You would think that, but it’s actually just a rendered model moving with the animation sequences that the computer receives and decodes form the camera.
