for a tomb raider game, i'd expect enhanced boob physics or something. Has a game ever even attempted to do realistic boob physics before?

Tomb Raider AoD till Underworld had them. Not sure how realistic they are, though, as I'm not exactly an expert on the subject *gay*.

 

[Yasae]

so it is today ? YEY

Zoe's not getting the perks, unfortunately.

 

[Harlequin]

Do we know at which time (and in which time zone) they're revealing it?

 

[chickdigger802]

Just imagine. Space marine with fabulous flowing hair.


Fps games with realistic hair over your fov.


Games will truly be art.

 

[Harlequin]

IT'S HERE !!!!!!!

[derFeef]

Damn!

 

[Eideka]

Jesus that's incredible.

 

[Kaako]

I want to see it in motion please.

 

[LuuKyK]

CG hair.

 

[ZombieFred]

Oh very nice. I can't wait to play this game now.

 

[ColonelColon]

Looks preeetty good.

 

[mr_nothin]

I just wanna wash it, perm it, and take care of it

 

[Eideka]

Can't wait for Eurogamer's face off.

But now I wonder how demanding it will be, it must have been heavily optimized for the GCN.

 

[Übermatik]

Looks nice, but need vid.

 

[Perkel]

Where the hell is video ?

 

[DieH@rd]

Goddamn, this looks nice!

 

[Feature]

I wonder if the PS4 will have this. 8GB DDR5 should be enough no?

 

[Leckan]

I wonder if the PS4 will have this. 8GB DDR5 should be enough no?

It's GDDR5

 

[Perkel]

I wonder if the PS4 will have this. 8GB DDR5 should be enough no?

If rumors are true it should be even better than HD7xxx series of cards

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Next gen is going to be defined by materials actually looking and behaving like the materials they represent.

 

[Discotheque]

not excited for this game but damn tress fx tress fx ooo la la

 

[Illithid Dude]

Will this work on Nvidia hardware?

 

[Eideka]

Will this work on Nvidia hardware?

Yes, at least this is what I get from this bit :

Graphics cards featuring the Graphics Core Next architecture, like select AMD Radeon™ HD 7000 Series, are particularly well-equipped to handle these types of tasks, with their combination of fast on-chip shared memory and massive processing throughput on the order of trillions of operations per second.

I take that it has been optimized for AMD cards but Nvidia hardware should handle this as well, how well ? I don't know.

It will AFAIK.

EDIT: Square Enix/Eidos employee says:

Its created by AMD, but its a DirectX 11 feature.. so GOOD DX11 cards should be able to play it, on both sides of the gaming fence.. I have a GTX680 and i run it lovely

 

[zoku88]

Huh, some reviewers were saying that they couldn't get PC versions of the game yet. I wonder if this is the reason.

 

[iNvid02]

did standard hair really look that bad? i guess i was slowly forgetting that shit, eeewuuughghghg

anyway, props to square they've put out some solid PC ports and it looks like it will continue

 

[komaruR]

Looks preeetty good.

 

[RazorbackDB]

is it exclusive to hd 7000 series?

edit: already answered

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Looks incredible. Although funnily enough, the standard hair actually looks a little more appropriate in some of those shots - the tressfx hair looks like it's been lovingly shampooed recently, whereas the standard hair looks appropriately matted and dirty.

Next-gen tressfx will bring real-time grossness buildup!

 

[Dreams-Visions]

the 79xx games don't come with Tomb Raider though, right? Just the 79xx line which come with Bioshock and C3 right now?

 

[Harlequin]

is it exclusive to hd 7000 series?

It's supposed to run on all good DX11 cards.

 

[nextgeneration]

I find it hilarious that we're all gaga over such a silly thing as hair, but damn, that is impressive! The standard hair looks like shit! LOL! We need a video of this, stat!

Can we please do the same thing for grass now, too?

Its created by AMD, but its a DirectX 11 feature.. so GOOD DX11 cards should be able to play it, on both sides of the gaming fence.. I have a GTX680 and i run it lovely

So, does this mean the death of phys x? We need a standard for this, and hopefully, this is the start of it.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

If rumors are true it should be even better than HD7xxx series of cards

what? No.

 

[schwupp]

the tressfx hair looks like it's been lovingly shampooed recently, whereas the standard hair looks appropriately matted and dirty.

haha true lara is all messed up but her hair is still shiny

 

[Eideka]

is it exclusive to hd 7000 series?

No, DX11 exclusive.

Shit a GTX680 runs this well ? Good, my OC'd GTX670 should be up for the task then.

I'm not the biggest AMD supporter out there (I'm an Nvidia guy) but kudos to them, their partnership with developpers have always resulted in outstanding PC ports.

Thank you AMD.

 

[Tratorn]

Yes, at least this is what I get from this bit :


I take that it has been optimized for AMD cards but Nvidia hardware should handle this as well, how well ? I don't know.

So ps4 + x3 will support it?

 

[Striek]

After Alice, the TressFX hair doesn't seem good so much as the default hair seems bad.

 

[ColonelColon]

I could be wrong about this, but don't AMD's cards have better DirectCompute performance than Nvidia's equivalents?

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Damn that look nice , i hope more next gen stuff has hair like that .

 

[Ran rp]

I need this in motion.

 

[Perkel]

haha true lara is all messed up but her hair is still shiny

TressFX shampoo can do well in all weathers.

 

[Eideka]

So ps4 + x3 will support it?

No reasons not to, it's the same architecture.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Next gen is going to be defined by materials actually looking and behaving like the materials they represent.

Yes, as opposed to 'APPROXIMATED SHINY SURFACE OR APPROXIMATED NON-SHINY SURFACE'.

 

[maniac-kun]

Well AMD and Nvidia should make a standard for these things. Thats the wrong way to do it.

 

[NameGenerated]

Too late, Triple H already shaved his head. What a waste.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Well AMD and Nvidia should make a standard for these things. Thats the wrong way to do it.

Pretty sure this'll work on any good DX11 card.

 

[Eideka]

I could be wrong about this, but don't AMD's cards have better DirectCompute performance than Nvidia's equivalents?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5699/nvidia-geforce-gtx-680-review/17

It seems so.

 

[ColonelColon]

Well AMD and Nvidia should make a standard for these things. Thats the wrong way to do it.

This isn't a proprietary technology, but it might run better on AMD video cards due to their advantage with DirectCompute.

 

[Stop It]

AMD TressFX, brought to you, by Head & Shoulders.

Hilarity aside, looks good, especially as horrific looking hair was one of the hallmarks of this gen in terms of things that killed any sense of realism in graphics.

If it isn't an AMD exclusive feature (Unlike Physx), at least it should mean most games going forward can adopt it without having to be constrained as a marketing feature.
