Mirrors edge physx vid

Don't really like the concept of the game, although that video looks awesome. Will be keeping an eye on this :)
 
You should be able to use the PPU with an ATI card - people have also managed to do things like run a 9600GT along side a 4870 for physics - but doesn't seem to work easily for every one...

Its nice to see a game making more than just token use of cloth effects
 
So this PhysX stuff, do I need to slot another gfx card in alongside my GTX280 or will the 280 do it?
 
You dont need a PhysX PPU so dont go trying to buy one, a second NV card can be used as a PhysX PPU since it uses CUDA that NV has built in, allthough it should be able to work on ATi cards but only by means of hackers making hacked drivers as far as I know.

By token use you mean, randomly hanging up banners that you have to go out of your way to shoot to see them split into pieces? For me thats the very definition of token use.

Yet more utterly pointless effects generated to make the PPU "useful".

Lets see the tech demo where you see a guy fall through some plastic(which looks crap btw) where in normal gameplay you kick the guy over the egde of the building and keep running, thereby not seeing the effect at all.

Or the Helicopter blowing a few seemingly scripted bits of debree up into your face off the roof as you run towards it. Anyone want to tell me how much paper debrie hangs around on roofs, or comes from that enables this effect, me neither, another pointless non game changing effect, as with everything Physx.

Someone has the rage today. I thought the vid looked awsome.
