“As one of the biggest PS Vita launch titles, we are extremely excited to have worked on UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss.  Our dedicated support team worked closely with Sony Computer Entertainment America and Bend Studio to help get the most out of Havok’s Physics and Animation technologies. Our latest tools for portable platforms allow Havok to continue providing customers with solutions that set new standards within the industry.”

From the start of development, Bend Studio took advantage of Havok’s platform optimized technology that allowed them to fully leverage the multi-core hardware in the PS Vita system by making use of Havok’s Physics and Animation technology allowing Bend Studio to reach higher levels of fidelity and interactivity for the PS Vita system.  One of the great advantages of Havok’s toolset is the out-of-the-box integration between Animation and Physics for advanced character interaction within the game environment, and with the ease of getting started and the unparalleled support the tools provide it has proven instrumental in the success of the game’s development.
