Why Intel bought Project Offset and the Offset Engine
By all appearances, Intel's interest in gaming is on the rise. Not only is the CPU giant developing its own graphics technology and a founding member of the PCGA (PC Gaming Alliance), it has now acquired Project Offset. Project Offset is a game engine development team that has kept its own plans close to the vest—thus far, only Red5 Studios has licensed the Offset Engine—but the company won a great deal of praise for the gameplay trailer it released last July. Intel's decision to acquire Project Offset may be a dream come true for the company, but it raises the question of what Intel intends to do with a game engine. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...et-engine.html |
