2K signs Havok for new Wii titles

2K Games has inked a deal with Havok to use the physics engine in a number of upcoming Wii titles.

The development tool will be used in Carnival Games: Mini Golf – the sequel to the 1.5 million-selling Carnival Games – as well as yet-to-be announced titles.

"Havok technology communicates with physical elements in the game and loads them with intelligence, allowing them to react to the players’ actions in a realistic way," commented David O'Meara, MD of Havok.

"Of course, anyone who has used the Wii will recognise how important accurate movement is for the players’ enjoyment of the game."

Best-selling titles using the Havok software include Assassin's Creed, Halo 3, BioShock and Guitar Hero III.

It will probably sell more than Metal Gear Solid 4.



I believe Brawl also had the Havok engine running on it, right?! Anyway, good to hear casual games getting a physics engine... Or something like that!!

 I wish I could laugh that off as just a joke that could never happen. I really do.
