| CellFactor: Revolution Released | |
Artificial Studios and Immersion Games, independent videogame developers, announced today that its self-published title, CellFactor: Revolution, will be available for free via digital download to PC gamers on May 8. Timeline Interactive based in Egypt also spent months programming code for the game, contributing to the small and specialized global game development team. CellFactor: Revolution is an action-packed, first-person shooter with true-to-life physics that harnesses AGEIA's PhysX processor to produce hyper-realistic cloth, fluid and debris gameplay effects.
While part of the game is playable without the AGEIA PhysX processor, those that the have PhysX accelerator will have access to the complete experience with noticeable gameplay benefits. The game will automatically detect players with a PhysX card, offering them the option to progress through the single-player campaign mode that includes three "extreme PhysX" levels. PhysX users can also challenge humans and AI-enemies in four LAN-based multiplayer modes. Gamers who do not have a PhysX processor will be able to fight artificial-intelligent controlled enemies in the multiplayer "skirmish" modes, in two environments.
CellFactor: Revolution is a full game (Freeware) released to promote AGEIA’s PhysX Physics Processor. You can still play it without PhysX, but don’t expect it to run smoothly (or anything like that), because they want us to buy their product, The game is already available but we won't link to greedy sites who are making money out of demos, sharewares, patches and freewares. I’m currently downloading it to our fileserver, it may take a while. So wait a few moments and you could grab it from our fileserver without paying or waiting.

| | | | 33 Comments | | | If it hadn't been for bundle deals with OEM manufacturers like Acer and Dell, AGEIA would have been long gone. Who is going to pay 246$ for some overpriced piece of crap that only work with a few games, that increases noise, and uses a PCI slot? | | | | Many sites are saying good stuff about it, but I will tell you the truth. The problem with it is the lack of demand. Game developers don’t really need it because they can emulate it via the processor itself. The performance penalty is nothing because all these new dual/quad core CPUs can handle it easily. Some developers are using it because AGEIA paid them for it. This is a waste of time, PCI slot and money for us! AGEIA should kill this project and find something better to offer. |

LE: Don't cry for Ageia, if their products are bad and/or not popular they could just go bankrupt. It's nothing unusual. |

| Quote | | | | | We’re complaining about all these pay or wait sites - not about the card. People are sick from this FilePlanet and 3DGamers bullshit. There are many sites like Gamers Hell, us, Guru3D and many more sites who can provide free hosting without wait or pay bullshit. They just need to offer it and give these sites direct links privately. So next time when they are launching demo/patch/full game, people could get it easily without paying for the bandwidth.
But if we are talking about this card, we should complain because in the future AGEIA will pay developers to use their crappy engine, and it will force us to buy their card in-order to play these games.
AGEIA’s hardware is totally useless and we can have the results via emulation. So maybe in the future we will not have many choices like now, so let’s hope they will fail to get to the market and use monopoly tactics. They are also telling these developers to put ‘if user has no AGEIA hardware - set maxfps to 10".
Let's hope they will not survive because they can screw us over big time. |

| Quote | | | | | We're all getting screwed at much larger scales anyway but we can't say, at least not at this point, that there is a reason to worry. As far as in-game physics is concerned there will be more than one (Ageia's card) alternative and given the relative disappointing support for Ageia's hardware we're not going to see a monopoly anytime soon.
Ageia can pay all the developers it want, nobody is forcing them to use their hardware and SDK (especially if the card isn't very successful) for any games and money is not really a definitive reason. Ageia is trying to make a living just like any other company, so I can't wish for them to fail, I just want alternatives, I want to have a choice. Competition is the right aspiration, not the failure of companies.
Think outside the box. |

For example: if Valve will force people to use AGEIA in HL3, people will buy that crap just to play it. For now they are allowing games to run without it, but they can still change it or play games by adding 'if users has no AGEIA, set FPS to 5'.
Microsoft is doing the same with DirectX 10, and AGEIA may use the same nasty tricks in the future, very likely. You don't have AGEIA? no more PC gaming for you. Let's hope they will not use these tactics, or Nvidia/ATI will offer something against them. And please cut that think outside the box thing, its starting to annoy. Everyone is screwing the poor consume already, we don't want to see another company in this list.
All these tricks are ruining PC gaming thanks to all these corporations. PC gaming is now waste of money! We should buy and use Consoles to get rid of that bullshit and to keep our money in our pockets. PC gaming costs more money then consoles, thanks to Microsoft and everyone else. |

Realtime computation of radiosity has taken damn forever to be made. | | | | Well i see the screenshots and i want to download it ... but i had only 1 gb per month of download well... i will download it to my friend but what is the recommanded specs for run this game? | | | | Not working on my side. At the first time, I had BSOD then it said 'You must use PhysX in Extreme quality level' but there is no slider in the options. Tried to edit the .INI files without luck. Uninstalled. | | | | Well ... the options are really limited :S | | | | Reading along and this is of no interest to me .......... | | | | Downloading it as we speak, but the NGO is SOOO slow, here in Laval (Quebec, Canada) im only doing like average of 68kb sec  | | | | Well i tryed about 4 megs of the file and here is bout 300 kb secs | | | | Anyways tried the game, but i have to put the setting at the almost lowest or else it says extreme physics requires Ageia processor.... And even on the lowest i get like 30 fps avg., and 'scuse me but i don't that much of a bad system. This game was only made to promote Ageia's PhysX and it shows. There must be an FPS lock somewhere...  | | | | Quote: |

In my ass  | | | | I downloaded this last night from 3Dgamers. All I have to do is login with my free account and I had the game within ten minutes @ 1.3 MB/sec download. 
I also started it up and there are some maps that give you that "Extreme Physix" message. But, when I chose another map, it ran fine. I hosted a brief session using only BOTS, so, that may have something to do with it. BUT, the point is, it does work with some of the maps.
Do you guys want some screenshots? | | | | | | Here are a few from just a quick session: |

EDIT: OK, I've turned down the HDR and turned V-Sync to OFF. So, things are running better now. AND, I'm even getting a little more of the hang of it.... |

that ageia card is some kind of video accelerator? (not a video card?) | | | | Quote: |

The whole concept is kind of out-dated already as the 'real' video cards and multi-core CPUs are picking up the slack that's been missing.
With Cell Factor, you'll need that Ageia PhysiX card installed for some of the maps...but not all of them. The game is designed and coded to make use of that extra power from their card.
I'm not encouraging anyone to go out and get one of these cards. I think it's a very short-lived option. | | | | dl is littlebit slow

~75kb/s | Should have jumped on it right away. I got the entire file downloaded in less than 10 minutes. Seriously! My Comcast cable download speed was running between 1 - 2 MB per second! That's MegaBytes, not megabits! | |
