No, but it makes the no-loot-pill easier to swallow

This is incredible news.

What i'm worried about is EU keeping its charm in the new engine. If you stick cartoonish mobs and cartoonish scenery (which looks kinda nice, if cartoonish) into a photorealistic 3D FPS engine, it actually loses something.

It will be interesting to see how this process goes. I hope that some effort will be made to conserve the quaintness of the nicer parts of hand-crafted Eudoria (perhaps little "preserves"). Amethera -- they can nuke and start over -- as far as i am concerned.

Please please do this The Right Way(TM) from the start: take your time to avoid the kludges and band-aids that make the current system break in a dozen different places every time something is changed.

This announced move greatly increases my hopes for MA's ability to plan and evolve their product. I hope that it happens as announced.

Forgive me if already posted. Didnt read all.

Falling Leaf Systems has made a DX10 solution for Windows XP some time ago.

http://www.fallingleafsystems.com/

Then again I wish seeing PE with a maxed out Gamebryo engine 1st...

Whats wrong with the next generation of gamebryo ?

http://www.emergent.net/index.php/ho...amebryo-engine

Please dont tell me the reason is :
The Gamebryo run-time engine is a well-architected C++ API that includes multiple culling and sorting techniques reduce CPU usage by drawing only visible objects.

A huge amout of effort will need to go into making this happen by mid to end of 08. Marco, you guys gearing up for more staff? Existing developers should still be tied up in vehicles, taming, mindforce, etc....

Looking forward to the future of EU tho.

Regards,
