NVIDIA's PhysX Makes Borderlands 2 on the PC the Definitive Version

More

Back in March, we told you about Claptrap's love letter to PC gamers, making a ton of promises that alluded to the PC version of Borderlands 2 being the version to buy. If that wasn't reason enough, NVIDIA users have a new one – PhysX support. NVIDIA has released a "Borderlands 2 GeForce GTX PhysX Trailer" to show us just what PhysX adds to the experience, and man does it make a world of difference. As the video description says, "PhysX technology enables the dynamic, realistic movement of flags, banners, and tarps that react and tear realistically when taking weapons fire, and weapons generate particle fluids, sparks and debris that add extra explosive action to your visceral gaming experience." Check out the trailer and be prepared to be blown away, no pun intended.

Borderlands 2 launches on September 18 for the PC, PS3, and 360.

Waco on August 19, 2012 03:42PM I hate that this isn't OpenCL physics (or something similar) but I'll take whatever extras on PC they want to offer. :) reply to this

ClayMeow on August 19, 2012 04:47PM I've yet to see OpenCL do what PhysX can do, so I for one am glad to see PhysX used. The Arkham games were so much better with PhysX, and this looks to be no different. Sure, it sucks for AMD users, but c'est la vie. reply to this

Waco on August 19, 2012 09:29PM That's because nobody uses it yet...and until anyone does, it'll be sitting there like the red headed stepchild of physics simulation. :D reply to this
