Apperently It will be Compatible with all Games... Or so.

I am NOT paying 300$ To Have my graphics Reduced, Just so my Cloths can "Rumble and such and such"

No Thank you.
Its Shacky Technology, Not Proven, Need To Update Games for it.

It will probably be good to have in a few years when physics are a bigger part of games, but for now it's not worth it. Physics are still very new to games, it's a novelty right now.

Wouldnt it clash with game programming though?

Not if they're being programmed for the physics engine.

physics is relativlely new to games..like black said, it wont really be any help until a few years later..

isnt this physics chip seperate though?.. how would that reduce graphics if the graphics are on a seperate card?

Because If you Up The Physics, it Will Taxe your Computer (RAM, Processor etc etc) Therefore to Compensate, you must lower Graphics.

URGH Why Can't the Game Devloppers just go All out with Algorythems!? Seriously, DEMO parties are not that hard to be found.

Algorythems simplified For you to understand: instead of storeing an image, Algorythems are a mathimatical formula of that Image / shape / Motion. It takes less then infinite amount of space, PLUS you wouldn't need 300$ Graphics cards to have say, All Out HL˛ or DooMł or F.E.A.R. Graphics at max.

Which is basically what we are starting to see Starting this Year's Q3 / Q4, Starting with SPORE and also that Interent game with HL˛ graphics thats no more the 94KB.

But I have just sidetracked.

All this to say:
For this to work at full potential, Algorythems will have to be implemented even more.

the way the article was put.. the physics chip would be handling ALL of the physics and its related calculations by itself.. freeing up the other components to do their thing

until technology advances so that the graphics of such a system will exceed that of this generation's console, its useless and will never sell.
