Say hello to the new Futuremark Games Studio!

Wow, if Futuremark is going to make games, then they will be very realistic!

The bad is that the minimum hardware will be a super PC of previous generation and Futuremark won't have so much time to develope 3DMark!

Or... maybe... they'll be increasing their staff - that way they can spend exactly the same amount of time, money and people hours working on 3dmark at the same time they have other teams of people working on the games

It would be even better if forum members or perhaps Pro Orb users were involved in closed betas or even alphas. That would boost the community a little bit.
