GTAIV to use Engine from Table Tennis

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the expressive-thugs dept.

WedgeTalon writes "Joystiq reports that GTAIV will be using the engine that powered Rockstar's Table Tennis — Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE)." From the article: "I contacted MTV News' Stephen Totilo to see just how definite this was, and he returned, I met with Rockstar publicists and producers for Table Tennis twice prior to the game's release. Both times they volunteered that RAGE would serve as the engine for all next-gen Rockstar games. Including GTA? I asked both times. Including GTA they said both times."

    Here's a write-up. If you truly managed to miss hearing about this, I can only conclude that you have a life. Congratulations. I only wish there were more people like you (myself included). It boggles the mind how many bazillions of braincells must be wasted on this sort of trivia annually.

    Or, to quote Andy Prieboy "I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then."
