Step forward but it's still moon hair
Using this technology for more than just hair is a good idea, and makes me imagine what grass, fur and hair would look like if it were implemented well throughout a game.
I'd like to see it, but I don't think our new gen consoles are up to the challenge of rendering that seriously with everything else involved as well. But if we see lesser implementations of that, it would still be cool.

A-Buffer Fill is expensive in very close proximity on my 560Ti, up to 7-8ms.
Sorting and drawing is managable, only up to 2ms.
Scene and shadow rendering and simulation is almost free.
In typical Lara distance from camera whole scene cost less than 5ms, so its manageable.

Any info what A-Buffer Fill is?

Well, I think it was just a simple case of They didn't know end specs of the consoles yet and couldn't say yes or no to anything, so they left it open.
Why don't you download the demo in the OP and see the improvements for yourself?
Goddamn I love that .gif. It's amazing the difference it makes.

Accumulation buffer for the strand of hair?
Thief 4 but I don't know of any other games.
I mean more, how it depend really. Bandwidth, raw power etc.
I found more info in TressFX.pdf
It relays on pixel and vertex shader performance. It is also responsible for their AA solution for strains.

Star Citizen.
The comment is only a few months old (this year's Gamescom). Even if MS/Sony weren't already manufacturing retail units at that point, the specs certainly would have been more or less set in stone as Microsoft confirmed the slight increase in GPU core clockspeed just a few weeks earlier.
Man, Star Citizen is using everything!
Just read that it's rumored to be cross gen? bleargh.

I hope they implement it on many PS4 games like The Witcher 3 which has good fur tech on wolves, but I think TressFX 2.0 may surpass it with less rerssources. I would have fur on wolves with 30 FPS or even 900p rather than 1080p with old gen wolves, I mean

Why yes, it's so much better than the pine cones I used to use to clean my fur.
Its two years away, it should
And will probably use more, because Crytek is supporting everything is coming out.Like recently showed in editor volumetric shadows from point lights on fog, which havent even been used in Ryse.

Yup, it's pretty cool that they aren't pandering to one vendor over the other. Everyone gets eye candy!
