Batman - Arkham Asylum PhysX (PC)

This video shows some of the effects given by Nvidia PhysX technology. Let me simply say, that any other version is not worth it now. These effects are a must to feel Batman at its greatest. I could do without the sparks off the machinery bouncing around, since it looks like that is possible without Physx, and I could even do without the cloths hanging from the ceiling, however, the breakable tiles, and smoke are absolute musts. Without the tiles being broken, the world seems dead. The same is true for no papers floating around. I want to smash enemies on the floor and have the tiles explode. I want fog and smoke to move out of batman’s way as I move through it. (The smoke is especially good, as I hadn’t seen it done like that in any of the PhysX demos/games I’ve played thus far). Without the PhysX we’re back to the days of Quake 3, where the world is as you see it, more or less, with only specially chosen destructible objects. I want my environments to feel alive!
