Darkest Of Days Physx

NVIDIA PHYSX AND YOU

With the craving of playing games that are more realistic in appreance and play style, we gamers want more. Having stunning graphics with dense vegitation with textures that seem to jump out at you is all good, but what happens when we shoot at that same tree or building? We normally get a plum of smoke or dust with a small bullet hole or black mark in the same area we just shot at. The same thing happens when we shoot that same tree or building with a rocket launcher we get a large black mark or a small hole left after our carnging attempts.

Nvidia a maker of some of the worlds fastest GPU's has come up with ways to break this normal everyday cycle of just leaving only black marks, or small holes in walls, or trees. An enviroment that interacts with the gamers is desireable. Smoke that reacts around the player as he walks through it, and loose leaves and paper that blow around and react to the envrioment are always a nice addition. With PhysX we can shoot at a wall or trees (or anything for that matter), theres more then just black marks and small holes, there are bits and peices of what we just shot at. Lets step into a world known as Physx.

A little while ago I gave you a preview Darkest Of Days (review can be found HERE), we at Bjorn3D are going to look at the Nvidia Physx side of things. Nvidia Physx has brought us some rather unique effects in this game for instance denser smoke, blowing leaves, more paricles from exploding howitzer rounds, and sparks flying everywhere after firing our weapon.
