PS3 physics

playstation 3 physics demonstration.

the water is the most impressive IMO. looks good though :)

Really cool. I hope all the ps3 games will have full use of that technology.

Physics schmisics... PC's have been able to that for years...

The real test will be if guys like PD can use the processing power to code decent freaking AI and damage into their driving games...... :P

nothing too impressive.. I'll have to see how GT5 is on the PS3 before I even think about getting one.

PCs have only recently been able to generate that quality of graphics in real time.. The video cards in game consoles are pretty much the same as for PCs.

not really.

this is a different technology that's coded into the game as a seperate source from everything you've seen so far.

there are only a few games that employ this, (the new ghost recon for example) and you need a seperate procesor to run it. ( it basically takes what the cpu would normally run as enviroment code. )


new card that's out for pc's:

that's asus' due out this may. i think nvidia has one and one other company that helped develop the engine.

movie demonstrating the effects:

and crysis (far cry developers) employing extensive use of these cards:

glad I didnt upgrade to GeFOrce 7800sli

But - again - who cares if water looks like water if the AI is not intelligent... ;) :P

^^^ that's what online gaming is for.

Real-time fluid dynamics havent been seen in any single kind of computer game. That video is by the people of Ageia, showcasing their new PPU (physx processing unit) for the PC, not the PS3

Plane crash was the only non-realistic thing I saw there.

^^yeah, it looked like it was made from porcelain. But look closely at the way the small reservouir (or whatever that is) collapses after the metal pole crashes onto it :shock:

meh - it's not worth the effort...

^^ i see your getting older rc.

maybe the bikes and cars are finally getting to ya :wink:



as for the topic. that plane was to shocase how the peices interacted with each other and where, how fast the debris would fly around.

looked like shit.

but they got the speed down.
