Physics to die for: Ageia turns up the heat!

Ageia knows a thing or two about physics.Since 2002, they’ve been doing things with it that would make your head spin. Thanks to the PhysX engine, PS3 ownerscan look upon this drool-inducing video with high expectations, because these very goods will be coming to us inNovember. The trailer you can download is for CellFactor, which is a PC game powered by the same physicsengine that the PlayStation 3 will be taking advantage of. It really is amazing. Not just in terms of whatyou’d expect from a normal engine (because this is anything but normal), but the gameplay itself utilizes it like noother. Just take a look at those gravity grenades! Ragdoll physics and vehicular manipulation are, of course,represented in astonishing quality. Check it out: the download weighs in at about 150 MB. PS3 fans haveanother reason to hold off on getting a life just yet.
