Loki Revealed

Cyanide Studios Supports AGEIA PhysX Processor in Upcoming Action RPG Loki (thanks Frans) is a press release from the folks behind the hardware physics processing unit that reveals an unannounced action/RPG called Loki, saying: "AGEIA(TM) Technologies, Inc., the pioneer in hardware-accelerated physics for games, today announced that renowned French developer Cyanide will support the AGEIA PhysX processor in its upcoming ACTION RPG Loki." Here's a bit more of the cat they have let out off the bag:

Loki puts the player in key epochs of history surrounded by legendary heroes, powerful divinities and mythical creatures such as hydrae, dragons and minotaurs. With Loki's extensive population of characters and dynamic real- time action, Cyanide developers chose to optimize the game for the real-time action acceleration of the AGEIA PhysX processor. The dedicated physics processing horsepower of the AGEIA PhysX processor enables much more realistic characters with joints, convexes and other intricate geometry, as well as dazzling real-time effects.

Thanks for the Airtight links. Now I've finally seen something that looks like it could be worthy of a dedicated physics processor: the fluid dynamics simulation. That actually looked pretty good. The rest of the Airtight videos were ok, but really I don't see why they would need a dedicated processor. And those Ageia videos are just plain awful. Good thing they got Airtight to start making good looking videos. I still won't be convinced enough to buy a dedicated card with one of these until I see videos of a real game with and without the PhysX being used...
