AmigaExtreme got more informations about Q-Lab's upcoming games. So the first one "WEL"
is a real-time 3D game, and will need a minimum of an 060, although it might have to be
PPC only as the 3D engine is EXTREMELY complex... It will hopefully be similar to the
adventure parts of "Half Life" on the PC, but will have a lot more interaction and
puzzles to solve."
Second, "the new war game" (name still missing) is a first person shooter.
It will be mission based, similar to GoldenEye on the N64, but will be a lot less linear
(the missions you play will depend on how well you perform in previous missions!).
It should need a minimum of an 040 with 16MB to run it.
