Production - RAGE & Euphoria

All videogames made by Rockstar today use RAGE and Euphoria.

Click on Euphoria for a demo of this technology and a direct comparison between Euphoria and RagDoll Physics.

In 2006 Table Tennis was the first game that Rockstar developed using RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Games Engine) and Euphoria, all subsequent Rockstar games use this technology, including GTA IV. The thing that makes Euphoria interesting is the naturalistic movement of the characters, the use of artificial intelligence and it ensures that the characters act and react differently everytime. Before Euphoria a lot of games developers used Ragdoll Physics.

Before Rockstar developed their own games engine (RAGE) they used to use a games engine called RenderWare, which was made by an external company called Criterion. Rockstar stopped using RenderWare and decided to develop their own games engine after EA, a rival games company, bought Criterion.
