Any reason this couldn't have been done on a cross-platform/vendor standard?
Because it was funded by a developer demo'ing their proprietary kit?Quote:

There was a minor glitch in the supplemental lighthouse video which sent a glob of water across the screen for some strange reason. So, it seems that it wasn't worked out quite right as of yet.
Better than the bugs in games that are released though!Quote:

I love to see this stuff go realtime, imagine the first Bioshock with this implemented!
PhysX actually works on all GPUs and even the CPU, I lost some sympathy for AMD when it turns out they refused to pay the 1p per GPU to license PhysX way back when it all started, that created a bigger rift.Quote:

Will be interesting to see how it survives now all the consoles are AMD anyway.
AMD don't have to worry. They have technology that makes hair look really good.
Yeah, I saw that the fur on that bunny was very unrealistic.
What? I notice things like that. ;o)
