Philips‘ amBX technology is gaining ground: the company announced that it has signed a deal with Gas Powered Games to amBX-enable Supreme Commander, their highly anticipated strategy title. Set for release early next year, the game will feature support for the environmental technology, delivering “amazing light, wind, explosion and rumble effects across the huge gameplay landscape and vast array of vehicles, vessels and aircraft.”
“I ‘got’ amBX the moment I saw it - I really liked the way it added to the visual experience,” commented Chris Taylor, Gas Powered Games. “I also liked feeling the wind in my face, it made the whole game experience more real. I think there is a lot of potential to have the experience ‘underscored’, so to speak, by having the high points (or low points) in the game accompanied by the various amBX effects.”
Other publishers have also jumped on the amBX bandwagon, including Codemasters, THQ, Kuju, Introversion, Revolution and many others. For more information on the technology, refer to its website.
