Graphics card firm Ageia has finally got the chance to show off its hardware-accelerated PhysX processor for PC gaming with the launch of CellFactor: Revolution.
Created by Artificial Studios and Immersion Games, the free first-person shooter is designed specifically for Ageia's PhysX processor to produce hyper-realistic cloth, fluid and debris gameplay effects.
PhysX powers interactive worlds which Ageia claims obey the laws of classical physics.
The hardware firm has built a cross-platform software development kit to simplify advanced physics programming for the PhysX, as well as next-generation gaming consoles.
CellFactor: Revolution will automatically detect players with a PhysX card, offering the option to progress through the single-player campaign mode that includes three 'extreme PhysX' levels as well as a multiplayer option.
Jeremy Stieglitz, president of Artificial Studios, said: "It is an exciting time to go gold with CellFactor: Revolution which shows off some great technology and introduces fun and original physics action to a crowded first-person shooter genre."

The future of gaming is here!
All I can say "It's about time." We need more realistic games! I think that Physx is finally going to give it to us. Now we need more games that will allow the user more control to alter the environment the way the gamer wants.
