Quantic Dream Supports Ageia Physx Processor In Karma

AGEIA? Technologies, Inc., the developer in hardware-accelerated physics for games, announced that Quantic Dream is making maximum use of the AGEIA PhysX? processor for its sequel to Omikron: The Nomad Soul. Quantic Dream has been integrating extensive physics functionality into KARMA using the AGEIA PhysX SDK. When these features are hardware-accelerated by the AGEIA PhysX processor, players will experience a depth of interactivity and realism never before seen in electronic games. The AGEIA PhysX processor will be available on PC add-in boards in late 2005.

KARMA leverages AGEIA PhysX technology to add advanced physics interactivity to its immersive world, a city that has its own day/night cycles, random weather and a vast population with hundreds of passers-by and air-cushion vehicles. Behind every door in the city is a real-time environment for players to explore. Players can stop for a drink in a bar, buy a book in a bookshop, find medication in a pharmacy and more.

Using PCs equipped with the AGEIA PhysX processor, players will experience intense hyper-realism as they interact with the environment, fight with hands or feet, use weapons, drive air-cushion vehicles and reincarnate.
