Cellfactor goes free
« on: Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 09:43:11 AM »
Shock and awe.

Cellfactor is that game thats supposed to show off the PhysX physics card. It was going to be a retail game but I guess they figured they could only sell it to the 4 people that have the card. Now we get it free on May 8th. If you dont have the card you get 2 levels against AI, with the card you get 3 more levels or something.

Really, who cares?

I would guess that the game will try to entice people into buying the card.  Get the game free, get hooked on it, buy new hardware to play more of it and get the dedicated physics hardware.  Here's wishing them a big failure.

The physics card thing isn't a horrible idea, but in practice it actually harms the framerate.  And it's way overpriced.

Is it just me or does the game not look that amazing?  I mean, it looks nice and I'm not just talking graphics, but like... if you're going to go crazy with physics, shouldn't there be a lot more shit flying around?  The levels look really empty if that's what they're trying to show off.
