Couldn't find any new news on the net. Strange timing. Could it be the press release from this morning? On a different topic, this is from Gamecenter's E3 Coverage: (http://www.gamecenter.com/News/E3/Item/0,34,1796,00.html) "At 3Dfx's booth they're showing some cool titles that begin to take advantage of a Pentium II/Voodoo 2 combo. Utopia Technologies' Montezuma's Return, for instance, uses Voodoo 2's dual-texture units to simulate bump-mapping, providing rough, realistic textures on the ground and walls. But this is the exception rather than the rule. Most games don't begin to take full advantage of the hardware that's available now in Voodoo 2, and coming soon from the likes of PowerVR, Nvidia, and Matrox." <RANT> What ticks me off about this is that there was no indication what-so-ever at the 3Dfx booth that they were showing this stuff! The staffers I talked to gave no indication that simulated bump-mapping was being shown. I would have loved to have seen it and told you guys about it. Next year I'm forging a press pass. Sigh... </RANT> Chip
