It's amazing how difficult that article was to read.

First, they forgot to proof-read it.

Second, they apparently use JavaScript to tell you there was an error communicating with the server each time you try to go to the next page.

I played Cell Factor a bit at Quakecon, and unfornately, the best thing you could say about it was that the framerates were... inconsistent. Quite frankly, it's a terrible tool to promote the Physx cards, and it wasn't even running with networking. They had 4 stations set up, and instead of playing against other players, everyone competed against bots, because the networking can't handle 400 boxes and pipes being thrown around on screen. And the bots ranged from braindead to consistently-headshot-you-from-across-the-map.

Until a game is built from the ground up requiring Ageia support, meaning gameplay effecting, destructible environments, $300 is a very unrealistic asking price for this thing.

Until they reduce the price to about the same as a decent sound card no one is going to bite. They also better start humping the oem mobo manufacturers or this company won't last thru their next fiscal year.

Ageia will disappear in a couple of years or get bought out by somebody.
