Business Wire
Gameloft�, a leading developer and publisher of video games for
mobile phones, announces that it has signed a distribution
agreement with Sony Ericsson for the launching of Vijay Singh Pro
Golf 3D embedded on Sony Ericsson's P990 smartphone and M600
messaging device � the first global handsets on the market to
include the OpenGL ES technology, the industry standard,
cross-platform API. OpenGL ES is the ideal API (application
programming Interface) for effective and optimal development of 3D
games on operating systems like Symbian, or virtual machines like
BREW. The arrival of this API in mobile phones such as Sony
Ericsson's UIQ 3-based M600 and P990 will also be a giant step
toward the democratization of 3D. Gameloft's President, Michel
Guillemot, is very pleased about this agreement with Sony Ericsson.
�OpenGL ES is the technology of the future for 3D game development.
The transition from 2D to 3D can be compared to that of
black-and-white TV to color TV. The massive arrival of powerful 3D
games enables us to offer our customers an absolutely unique
experience�for just a few dollars. They will always have access to
games like Vijay Singh Pro Golf 3D on their phones, with incredible
resolution and depth.� Along with the launching of its OpenGL ES
based Vijay Singh Pro Golf 3D, Gameloft also announces that it has
selected the Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman� as the primary phone to
serve as a master version for all future Java development thanks to
its high quality processor and screen. Vijay Singh Pro Golf 3D is a
simulation hyperrealistic golf game that allows the player to
personify and compete against 8 entirely customizable players,
including the great Vijay Singh, and allows them to advance in
their careers through practice, golf courses, and later
tournaments, featuring golf circuits from all over the
globe�Harbour Town, for example. The graphics and animations
(optimized thanks to the Open GL ES) are spectacular! About
