The important questions in life: Whats does the P in PSK/PSA stand for?

Post by han »

So what does the P on PSK/PSA stand for?

My educated guess so far is that it probably refers to Polge.
My uneducated guess so far that it might stand for thingy with p (thanks Smirftsch for censoring) with all those bones.

If you look at the P on oldunreals font, you may come to the observation that the curve at the top of the P is very smooth.

This makes me lean more towards thinking that the .psa part would stand for .pelvic skeletal animation.

Edit: Polge is another good guess though.

Edit: Or protruding.

Edit: Or it might be a silent P, for P'Unreal.

Edit: It's an invisible P at the beginning of Unreal, too.

The most obvious answer is: Playstation.

Since that's where the format was introduced in the engine. Featured in PS2 UT and all the characters were replaced with skeletal ones.

Or just polygonal.
I hate it when people ask me what my favorite game is. Just try to explain you're not talking about Unreal Tournament ::).
