In the first edition, they talk to Crispin Hands of Lionshead Entertainment ((no relation to our favourite dev house, of course)).

| 14 January 02 Console BW to use MathEngine’s Karma physics engine – Redeemer |
| Lionhead has licensed MathEngine’s Karma physics engine for use with the PS2 and Xbox versions of BW. This will be the first time Lionhead is using middleware, and the team evaluated several physics engines before choosing Karma. “It was a difficult decision for us to use middleware on the console versions of Black & White, but the tight development schedule and steep learning curve that we would have had to master to bring the game to two new platforms eventually gave us little option,” said Peter Molyneux, “Once we had made the decision to go down the middleware route, however, Karma was the only logical choice, as it was the only solution that produced results that were comparable to those which we would have achieved through our own efforts.” |
| 15 January 02 Most Wanted – Redeemer |
Project Ego is on GameSpy’s Most Wanted Games of 2002 list.Some of the games that excite us the most in 2002 are the ones that really take advantage of Xbox’s graphical power and storage capacity, games too advanced to appear on any other platform. Such is the case with Project Ego, a game that’s immense, beautiful, and groundbreaking. |
