Anyone remember playing 'Incoming' by RAGE on day of release about 8years ago? The graphics and explosions in that game were simply amazing and all on a lowly Voodoo based machine.

AGEIA is trying to do what software has done for years *without* any stupid addon card.

Carmageddon invented physics! Again looong before physics processors -other than a floating point CPU- were about.

Amazing how we've come full circle again...talk about reinventing the wheel!

I don't recall a game called Incoming, but I do recall Carmageddon. Was a fun and cool game.

What bothers me about this whole scene is that it's purely obvious Havok, ATI and nVidia are abusing their place in the market.. There should be some sort of standards organization to protect a company like AGEIA. Consumers should be open to choice. ATI and nVidia should think with consumer in mind and offer solutions for both Havok and AGEIA. Instead the've ganged up on AGEIA partnering with Havok.

You all know as well as me AGEIA's stay will be a short one and only fools would buy an AGEIA card.
