INTEL buys Project Offset Developers, the next Crysis is coming

[QUOTE="Verge_6"]

About time it got a publisher...this game was in limbo for how long exactly?

Here's hoping the thing scales better than Crysis...

I don't think 'high end' even begins to describe it. -_-

Don't get our hopes too early my fellow hermit brothers.

There's nothing official about Offset being PC exclusive. Yet.

I don't think many PC gamers care about exclusivity as much as this game will surely be the next technology pusher. At this point, it's almost certain that it won't be made for the lowest common denominator. I can't think of another reason Intel would purchase it.

I don't know, I bought a new 8800GT for $250 bucks and it runs Crysis on High Settings, no AA, and it runs buttery smooth. The 8800GT isn't considered highend next to the GTX. I'm fine with that. Now the 9600GT's just came out, MSRP is a max of $210 bucks.

I was expecting more from the 9600GT. It doesnt even beat the 8800GT in benchmarks. You can get the 9600GT at newegg for $180 right now. Still not bad even though it performs just under the 8800GT. Im just waiting to see how these 9800s handle things.

As for Project Offset, I agree this appears to be a strategic move to maintain a cadre of high-performance games--needed to help maintain momentum for graphics development. The next question will be: what will Intel do with this product now? Considering its roots, I have a feeling they won't publish the game themselves. They don't have the face value in the software world. Odds are they'll tap a reliable publisher for the job. They could ask EA to do it (they publish Crysis--and are lovin' it), just as an example. Another possibility is digital distribution, such as through Steam.

So Intel have finally decided to promote their processors more? I guess they are starting to feel intimidated by IBM's work on consoles. _Pedro_

Anyone think that this and the PC Gaming Alliance having just been formed (which Intel is a part of) is a coincidence? Noop!
