Villains To Get Physical With AGEIA News

NCSoft's super-villain MMO to utilise the power of the physics card from AGEIA...

In a joint statement, NCSoft and AGEIA have today confirmed that MMO City of Villains will be utilising the power of AGEIA's PhysX physics accelerator card in the future, which the aim of introducing a new further level of detail into the game than ever before.

Though the implementation won't affect gamers without the card, those with the PhysX accelerator will experience new intricacies including physics particles being affected by external forces or leaves falling from trees when an explosion occurs near by.

"City of Villains players with PhysX-based Physics Accelerator add-in boards in their PCs will be blown away by the added realism and immersiveness of the game," said Michael Lewis, CEO of Cryptic Studios. "While the ability to succeed in the game will be unaffected, the overall user experience will be greatly enhanced through support for the AGEIA PhysX processor."

"The team at Cryptic Studios is among the most talented in the business, and it's exciting to see them apply their wizardry using AGEIA PhysX technology," said Kathy Schoback, vice president of content acquisition at AGEIA. "City of Villains is already a one-of-a-kind game experience, but the action acceleration of the AGEIA PhysX processor will take it to an entirely new level."

It's been over ten years since the dawn of the 3D era heralded the introduction of the first graphics accelerators, and now it seems that we could be on the cusp of the next evolution, especially as more and more games utilise various physics engines in their development.

We'll have more news shortly...
