[ODE] Re: PS2

[Sergio Valverde]

You can check it out the website of our game Ubisoft's "Monsters4x4:Masters
of Metal":

http://www.monster4x4.com

It will be released for PS2 & NGC, November 2003. The game uses an adapted
version of ODE + iterative solver. The collision module was completely
replaced by a propietary one, which handles terrain, boxes, spheres, etc..
We have also optimized the core physics for Nintendo Gamecube.

Our Barcelona-based team ported ODE successfully to PS2. The final outcome
will be presented in Ubisoft game: "Mosters 4x4: Masters of Metal".
We were able to simulate 6 physics cars (with separated bodies for
the wheels and four hinge2 joints)and a couple of simple bodies at the
same time and at 60 fps.
In a couple of days it should be available a web site with information about
the game.
The game will be released this year in USA only. It will be a demostration
of what ODE can do for videogames! 
Russ, maybe you are interested in adding the game to the list of products
using ODE.

Some time ago someone said they actually have ODE, optimized for PS2 (that
is: stepfast, some loops in VU, etc.), and using that in an actual game
project. I think the guy was from UbiSoft :)
