2005
Helsinki - Fathammer, a leading publisher
of advanced 3D mobile game technologies and games, announced
today that it will cooperate with ATI Technologies Inc., one
of the leading providers of graphics, video and multimedia products
for desktop, workstation and notebook PCs, digital televisions,
cell phones and game consoles, to develop new 3D wireless entertainment
applications.
The cooperation is aimed at enhancing the growth of the 3D mobile
entertainment market. ATI’s new technology helps high performance
content and applications to run in wireless devices. Device manufacturer
LG’s game phone LG360 is powered by ATI’s technology
and is carried by both Korean major mobile operators - SKT and
KTF.
“3D games are a very important part of the future of mobile
gaming. By working with ATI, a leader in the 3D space, we will
continue to offer the most sophisticated games for wireless,
with enhanced graphics and better frame rates,” said Matti
Airas, CEO of Fathammer. “Our current 3D titles – Stuntcar
Extreme®, Toy Golf™ and Hockey Rage™ – are
already immensely popular with consumers and carriers. Through
our relationship with ATI, we intend to publish more 3D products
that push the boundaries of innovation and fun”.
“The mobile market is just waiting for the kind of compelling
3D content that Fathammer develops that in turn takes advantage
of the hardware capabilities of today’s ATI graphics chips,” said
Neal Robison, Director of ISV Relations, ATI Technologies Inc. “The
combination of ATI’s Imageon® graphics hardware and
Fathammer’s innovative applications will continue to push
the boundaries of 3D mobile entertainment in the years to come.”
