Looks like that the reason that they decided to delay the pc version was because they want to make it bettert than the console verisons a!!

Folks with newer Nvidia cards will get a treat if they grab Mirror's Edge for the PC next year. Nvidia has revealed that the PC flavor of DICE's free-running action game will support PhysX hardware acceleration. All you'll need is a GeForce 8 or better graphics card, and you'll be the envy of your console-using friends (you know, the ones who've already been playing the game for a week and counting).
Here's how Nvidia describes the PhysX enhancements:
With the NVIDIA PhysX physics engine, the world of Mirror's Edge comes to life with real affects [sic] of wind, weapons impact, and in-game movements. Every-day objects within the game become part of the overall experience. Cloth, flags, and banners can now impact weapons and players; ground fog interacts with the player's footsteps; explosions fill the air with smoke and debris; and weapon impacts are enhanced with interactive particles.
The company was kind enough to send us a video of the PhysX goodies in action, too. You'll have to use your imagination when the YouTube blur gets too much, but you get the idea—destructible cloth and interactive volumetric smoke ahoy: |
Well, that's good news. At least it's confirmed that the delay was a result of improving the game's appearance, and not only for economic reasons.
I've seen the video and it looks fantastic, the power of PhysX is simply amazing. It's a shame my graphic card is ATI Radeon, but maybe I've just come out with an idea about what to ask for in Christmas
Thank you for the post, Baxter!
