E3 06: Vanguard: Saga of Heroes to use EMotion tech

LOS ANGELES--Sigil Games Online has announced that Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is on show at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo and will be utilizing animation technology from EMotion. The FX real-time character animation technology has allowed the game's designers to animate just one character and play back that same motion data on all characters.

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is a massively multiplayer game that will attempt to be the true successor to EverQuest and is set to be released this winter on the PC, and Sigil will be copublishing the game with Sony Online Entertainment. The characters in the game will share many of the same mesh assets and animations, while the EMotion technology offers distinct player-character models for thousands of characters.

We'll bring you more information on the game soon.
