After landing EA and 2K Games last week, this week NVIDIA scored another game publisher for PhysX; THQ. "The NVIDIA PhysX technology delivers astonishing physics effects and will help us develop the most competitive and innovative products in the marketplace," said Roy Tessler, THQ’s senior vice president, production and worldwide studios. "With support for both the CPU and the GPU, PhysX technology allows us the creative freedom to design compelling environments and deliver truly immersive gaming experiences."
PhysX-accelerated Company of Heroes anyone? This leaves Activision-Blizzard as the only major publisher yet to sign on for PhysX. Getting Blizzard onboard may be a tough sell for NVIDIA though, as the company has already announced a formal relationship with AMD.
