Capcom's MT Framework 2.0 Designed With External Use In Mind

MT Framework appears to be one of the prides of the Japanese game industry. Capcom's internal multiplatform game engine has produced some of the finest-looking games thus far this generation, and it's done so consistently on three platforms for the past few years.

The engine will be turning the big 2.0 with Lost Planet 2. So what's new? Zenji Nishikawa answers that in his latest 3D Game Fan Lecture article at Impress Watch

The article provides a look at the origins of the engine and where Capcom plans to take it from here, with commentary from Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi, Capcom programmers Satoshi Ishida and Masaru Ijuuin, and Capcom graphic designer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi.

Although MT Framework is just now turning 2.0, it's actually been through a number of iterations. The first version was used for Dead Rising in 2006. This was followed by version 1.1 for Lost Planet, version 1.2 for the PC version of Lost Planet, version 1.3 for Devil May Cry 4, and version 1.4 for Resident Evil 5.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
