During tonight's chat MK co-creator, <B>Ed Boon</B>, mentioned that Midway has scrapped plans to use the next-generation in house Zeus II chip and have decided to go with one from <A HREF="http://www.3dfx.com/">3dfx</A> for arcade versions of <B>MK5</B>. Given the planned development schedule, it is very likely that MK5 will use a variation of 3dfx's code-named "<B>Rampage</B>" graphics chip, which has been under development by <B>3dfx</B> for over 20 months. "<B>Rampage</B>" has been planned for a First Half 2000 release and promises to revolutionize 3D graphics the same way Voodoo Graphics did. Furthermore, Ed elaborated by stating that it blows everything away -- including the PSX2.
