Neither. They rewrote PhysX to use the card's programmable shader units via CUDA. No hardware transitioned from Ageia's PPUs. |
So it's a software implementation and they basically just use the Physx brand-name. Kinda curious as to how they've got the shader units doing physics calculations when they mainly handle texturing and lighting processes, but I'm not really a hardware guy. I only have a rudimentary knowledge of how all that crap works from a few years experience with Maya.
Any idea as to why it seems games like Alice have so much trouble rendering particle physics when I can run numerous particle simulations concurrently with destructible objects in Maya in real-time with my 5850 just fine? Some issue with the game engine preferring to work with PhysX and just having terrible native physics instructions or something?

Does the Theta Crackfix work correctly all the way to the end of the game?

actually I cant drive with analog gamepad to save my life...racing games with keyboard I can do well, usually beating my friends..give me a controller, I hit walls, spin out, crash..
I think its from years of growing up with SNES and f-zero. you want to turn hard..hold it down, the tap speed of the key determines how much you steer. tap fast you get a tighter turn..slower you turn a little.
Ive tried for years to "get use to" an analog thumbstick for steering..I cant do it.

Are you daft? It's not a platformer but that type of view/control is everything you need for a third person action or platform game. |
So an FPS tweaked to use a third person camera proves third person platform games play better with kb and mouse? "Are you daft?"

Controls were far from ideal in Alice 1, when jumping from platform to platform etc, and yes I'm replaying it right now.

It was no tweak, just moved camera behind your model. The tweaks are what break the mouse control, all the shit restrictions and forced movements of camera because gamepads aren't capable of properly controlling it.

That's just your consolitis acting up.

Game is actually very playable with keyboard and mouse (unlike, say, DS3) except for one the mouse acceleration. How do you turn that off/tweak it?

Try opening AliceInput.ini and change benablemousesmoothing to false. I haven't tried it myself but I've heard people talk about that setting with other games.

Hmm no, still a bit sluggish, kinda reminds me of Dead Space. Makes the platforming somewhat annoying.

had a spare GTX 470 to go with my 580, thought I'd give it a shot because I got heavy fps drops whenever I used the pepperbox and walked into the cloud puffs that it made (physx on high)
however I got the same result with the 470 calculating the physx, 60 -> 25-30 fps
starting to wonder if it's the physx that are causing trouble or the fact that the cloud puffs are perhaps too detailed (volumetric or something?...)

I have this too. But when i set the physx on low i have a normal fps.

Alright, here are some screenshots from the first real 'level'. I'm *really* *really* impressed with the game thus far. The graphics are stunning IMO. The screenshots don't do as much justice. In the 5th screenshot you'll see some of the liquid effect.
I'm very much impressed with the combat in this game as well. Much better then Alice 1. Alice 1 was a great game and all, but the combat in it was never some special. The combat in this game honestly reminds me a bit of Batman:AA or Zeno Clash.
Anyways, enjoy. In motion the game looks outstanding. Note that I have an E8400/GTX470 and the game runs fluid with max settings.

Same here, with a SLI setup of GTX 460, one dedicated to PhysX.

hmm seems turning mouse smoothing to false doesnt do anything, it feels exactly the same.
