Nvidia’s luridly named PhysX technology will bring realistic physics to the PlayStation 4, the graphics company has announced. Developers will be able to utilise new software development kits on Sony’s next generation system, which in turn will result in more life-like destruction, character models, and clothing. Yeah, Nathan Drake’s famous half-tuck is going to look incredible on PS4.
Unsurprisingly, Nvidia isn’t the only company porting its tools to the console either. Lighting software maker Geomerics and artificial intelligence outfit Xaitment both announced their support for the platform earlier in the week. If you're not a developer, all you really need to know is that this is going to result in better looking games. Don’t believe us? Check out PhysX’s impressive implementation in Batman: Arkham City courtesy of the trailer embedded below.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting a PS4 the day it hits shelves.
me too
This is just gonna work wonders for Uncharted. Just imagine what the set pieces will be like in Uncharted 4. Uncharted 4 will definitely raise the bar for the series with what's possible on PS4. So hyped.
@Jaz007 Uncharted? Think of the set pieces in God of War, they would blow your minds mind.
That looks nice but I don't get why people justify going and paying (random guess here) $400 just to have more particles in the air and smoother graphics, I mean I'm getting a ps4 but only because new games won't be for PS3 after a year, idk I just never saw better graphics worth it (unless its like GameCube compared to ps3 giant difference there) doesn't seem like this next gen isn't as big as a leap graphics wise
@Jaz007 Just long as naughty dog doesn't make it. I love uncharted but naughty dog has released a new franchise every gen.
Wow!!! Smoke/steam/gas is like a wonderful dream. I can not even wait till PS4 Silent Hill games. I think I'm gonna die right now.
