hey NOBODY'S PERFECT - You should be happy now

Nobody's Perfect/Binary Compatible, in case you are still out there,
in usenet land, I just wanted to say that, in a way, you are getting
what you always wanted. at least sort of. in a few years time you will
see a game console with Real3D technology in it, and there will be
Sega games on this machine.

what do I mean? well it's simple actually!

The next XBox console will have an ATI graphics processor in it. And
ATI has acquired / hired former Lockheed-Martin Real3D engineers, as
well as gotten some of Real3D's patents. (on top of having ArtX/SGI
engineers & patents) There is little doubt that both of these things,
that is, ATI having Real3D patents *and* some of their talented
engineers, will influence the XBox2 graphics processor, in a positive
way. And since Sega makes games for Xbox1, they will also make games
for Xbox2. This is probably the closest you will get to having a
Real3D-based Sega console.

cheers ^_^

some proof to back my first post:

"Ohh goodness did ATI get the majority of Real3D engineers. Supporting
evidence: http://www.gameai.com/r3dgames.html .

ATI's Orlando offices is basically composed of the company formerly
known as Real3D. When you combine the engineering assets of ATI's
Marlborough design house, the ArtX design house, a good chunk of
Real3D's team, not to mention the former FireGL team, and less we
forget ATI has snatched up a lot of former staff from Matrox after
they shut down their Toronto offices, I don't don't see any problem
with the number of projects ATI is undertaking"


if you were a believer in Real3D, this is good news indeed.
