MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – August 22, 2007 – AGEIA(TM) Technologies, Inc. the pioneer in hardware-accelerated physics for PC games and a leader in console gaming physics, today announced that it will showcase a series of upcoming PhysX powered games and its new AGEIA PhysX Mobile Technology(TM) at the upcoming Games Convention 2007, Halle 4 G22, August 22-27 in Leipzig, Germany.
Warmonger, Operation: Downtown Destruction is a new generation of FPS from NetDevil. Based on the PhysX-enabled Unreal Engine 3, Warmonger takes PhysX hardware acceleration to new heights. The game features a fully destructible environment, allowing for dynamic game play to emerge from the results of combat. No place is safe to hide and seeking good cover has become a challenge rather than a given. Warmonger leaves players with a strong emotional reaction … its downright scary to play! The game is currently in beta and will be available to consumers in Fall 2007. But those who visit the AGEIA booth at the Games Convention will get hands-on experience now.
Unreal Tournament 3 marks the return of the industry’s premier first-person shooter utilizing the completely new Unreal Engine 3 technology. AGEIA will be showing a sneak peek of PhysX hardware acceleration that will keep Unreal Tournament 3 fans on their toes.
AGEIA will also showcase AGEIA PhysX Mobile Technology. The new AGEIA PhysX 100M Processor is the first and only dedicated physics hardware solution for the ultimate gaming PC notebook. Gamers will now have an uncompromising choice of dedicated PhysX processing power in both gaming desktop and notebook PCs.
