Codemasters has unveiled it’s new in-house engine dubbed EGO. It’s an evolution of the Neon engine powering Colin McRae: DiRT and has been in the works at Central Technology Unit for three years.
EGO, an alternative to Unreal Engine 3 or Source, has taken a good deal of Codemasters’ GBP 40.5 million (USD 8.2 million) investment in boosting design and technology.
Two new flagship titles are powered by EGO; Race Driver: GRID and Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising. Both titles are in development for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Catch screenshots of Race Driver: GRID on FileFront.
Race Driver: GRID is on track for release mid 2008 while players can look for Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising in the later half of 2008.

Well GRID certainly looks stunning. My eyes on that one.
GBP 40.5 million is actually 82.1m USD.
ya 82.1m USD is now like 120.4m in CANADA
OFP 2 is gonna fail if its on this engine. Chances are there wwont be a editor which means its going to suck because thats what made OFP good. The modability.
