Nvidia tech demo's and why do we not see this in games?

[Gregster]

Sooooo I am bored waiting for Thurdsay to arrive, so done a bit of trawling and came across the tech demo's of Nvidia and putting it honestly, they are stunning but why are we not seeing these effects in games yet?

As you can see, realistic leaves lighting and hair but I have not seen this in any game as of yet. This was released 8 months ago and I would expect to see some kind of utilisation now.

840,000 strands of hair being rendered but still nothing that I know of showing this in any game. Realtime particle simulation looks fantastic and will be in the Unreal engine 4 but I have not seen anything showing these kind of effects.

Advanced fluid simulation.

Fluid and particle simulation in realtime.

And finaly, we have the Unreal Engine 4 show casing the drop dead gorgeous elemental demo. Hopefully the shape of things to come.

compared to the PS4 variant

Cmon game devs, give us what we deserve please

I can see consoles have the lions share of dev time but we do get some PC exclusives (not many) and I would be interested to know how many PC owners are actual PC Gamers.

I will go look for PC sales compared to PS3 sales for example.

PC game sales were up 230% in July 2012... Maybe things will start to look up for us.

I didn't know that some of the effects were pre-rendered Andy. A little misleading with those demos then

Can't say I that impressed by any of those.

A new dawn and Unreal engine 4 blew me away.
