PC Games Hardware has a response from NVIDIA to
a recent statement by ATI that developers other than Epic use PhysX for physics "because they’re paid to do it." NVIDIA's Nadeem Mohammed, Director of Product Management, PhysX, who says: "we do not pay developers to select PhysX instead of other physics solution." He also states that PhysX is not proprietary, even though it obviously is, saying: "PhysX is a complete Physics solution which runs on all major platforms like PS3, XBOX360, Wii, PC with Intel or AMD CPU, and on the PC with GeForce cards; it even runs on iPhone. It's available for use by any developer for inclusion in games for any platform - all free of license fees. There's nothing restrictive or proprietary about that."

Classic comment. Considering that turning it on has almost zero impact on the game you're playing other than some marginal eye candy, I'd say that PhysX is a piece of shit merely in that it has failed to become relevant.
It's a chicken/egg problem. You need games that require physX to push the solution into mainstream, but you'll never get physX-required games without the solution being the standard instead of splitting the market. |
