During tonight's chat MK co-creator,
Ed Boon, mentioned that Midway has scrapped plans to use the next-generation in house Zeus II chip and have decided to go with one from
3dfx for arcade versions of
MK5. Given the planned development schedule, it is very likely that MK5 will use a variation of 3dfx's code-named "
Rampage" graphics chip, which has been under development by
3dfx for over 20 months. "
Rampage" has been planned for a First Half 2000 release and promises to revolutionize 3D graphics the same way Voodoo Graphics did. Furthermore, Ed elaborated by stating that it blows everything away -- including the PSX2.
