What to do with all those wonderful CPU cycles? The future of gaming on new generation hardware.
We've all heard about the amazing graphics we can get from the new generation of game consoles and graphics chips. But games are not just about pretty pictures. They are all about the immersive nature of gameplay experiences which include great visuals, sounds and... moving forward... "Great Simulations". We are not talking about "the" perfect simulation but rather a combination of physics, animation and AI which carries the user experience to another level of realism beyond graphics.
