AMD has teamed up with PixelLux Entertainment to develop their own physics engine based on the open source Bullet Physics engine.
AMD hopes their engine will provide developers and consumers with an alternative to Nvidia's proprietary PhysX engine -- which only works on Nvidia GPUs -- and encourage the development of physics middleware built around OpenCL and Bullet Physics that covers PCs, game consoles, and other hardware platforms.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
"The Jyväskylä-based (Finland) indie games developer Tensori are today very proud and thrilled to announce that their experimental exploration game “POOLS“, is now available for PC via Steam." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

I like the way AMD/ATI think, they're trying to unify PC gamers, even if they don't have their hardware, which push gaming further.
If it proves to be good, it could be a bye-bye to physix. Depending of nvidia, if they roll money out :/
This is a bit of old news with bullet and all but if you can't beat em, join em.
Open? As in it will work on Nvidia GPU's too? Awesome!
nVidia used to be cool when they actually pushed the envelope, and supported its customers (with great Linux drivers).
But nowadays I do not want to touch any nVidia hardware (except for Tegra). They knowingly sold faulty laptop chips. Many of my friends' laptops are overheating. One's motherboard was fried, another dodged it the last minute (Dell sent someone to fix it). As far as I know, they still sell those chips.
And now they are actively dragging PC gaming behind. Remember Assassins Creed having a DirectX 10.1 update, which was pulled, since nVidia did not have a 10.1 capable card? Now they are doing much more damage by sabotaging ATI benchmarks and dividing gaming with PhysX code.
Nope no more nVidia for me.
