Schofield reveals Dead Space engine plans
Technology to launch as middleware solution
EA's Dead Space producer, Glen Schofield, has revealed to GamePlayer that the publisher will offer the engine technology behind the new sci-fi survival horror title to other firms as middleware.
Apparently the engine evolved from the technology under the hood of From Russia with Love, and The Godfather, but has been enhanced over a development period in excess of two years.
The middleware tech will apparently be named soon, with EA's legal eagles working out the details of this new proposition now.
Schofield is enthusiastic over the flexibility of the technology, which is also being used for The Godfather 2, the producer inviting third-party developers to take a look at his team's middleware.
More on this as EA fill us in.
