Chair Snags Rights To Ender's Game

Undertow developer Chair Entertainment has secured the rights to create video games based on Orson Scott Card's science fiction classic, Ender's Game. This really comes as no surprise, seeing as the Chair team of Donald and Geremy Mustard have already worked with Card on the script for unfortunate Xbox failure Advent Rising as well as the original sci-fi IP Empire, which is currently getting the movie treatment via producer Joel Silver.
"From the moment I started working with Donald Mustard and his team at Chair, I knew that these were the guys I wanted to do the first Ender's Game video game," said Card. "It's not enough to slap the Ender's Game name on just any game - it has to be exciting, memorable, and endlessly replayable.

According to a release on Intel's site, the purchase "will enable developers in the digital animation and game communities to take advantage of Intel's innovation and technology leadership in the creation of digital media", where previously they were doing the same thing, only with Havok instead of Intel. Same difference. From what I can determine from the release, Havok will continue business as usual, though I bet they'll have much snazzier stickers. More »

Latest by RealmRPGer: Not that it probably needs saying, but this is obviously Intel trying to get on top of the PPU/GPPU/CPPU wars. In other words, Intel wants you to run physics on their quad cores, not a physics card and not on more »
