Futuremark makes a game

Ten years in coming

IT FINALLY HAPPENED, Futuremark, makers of 3DMark and PCMark are doing the thing they have been asked to do for years, make a game. Yup, as of now, there is an official Futuremark Games Studio.

There isn't much more to say right now, we know it can do the graphics side, we know they are smart guys, let's simply hope it is as good at gameplay as they are at shiny things.

FGS will be showing a bit more off at GDC, so we will know more in a few weeks.

After 10 years of waiting to get this far, 3 more weeks doesn't seem all that bad. µ

Remedy Ent.

Also lets not forget the Finnish studio Remedy (Max Payne, Alan Wake) who spun off Futuremark if I remember correctly.

Surely they can come up with something nice.

Seriously is it that hard to read the first comment where the same thing was already mentioned? God damnit, internet.

What about... ?

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Remedy Entertainment!

Aquamark as well

didn't the benchmark Aquamark derive from a game?

That was a fair while back to.

Good to know its happening though. Wonder what type of game they will go for..?

@Troll

Seriously is it that hard to understand submitted posts can take quite some time to appear after you have submitted them? ;)

Time to buy a new machine...

Okay, so let me get this right: The people who write software that beats the hell out of hardware are starting a game company? So, does this mean they're going to write games that only the top 10% of users can actually RUN?

Hey...

...has anyone mentioned Remedy Entertainment yet?

I'm glad that they're finally making a game so that people can no longer complain about their benchmarks being essentially synthetic.
