MojoKid brings news from HotHardware that NVIDIA will be enabling PhysX for some of its newest graphics cards in an upcoming driver release. Support for the full GeForce 8/9 line will be added gradually. NVIDIA acquired PhysX creator AGEIA earlier this year.

And hopefully some Linux game/app will come out that can use it.

Maybe we'll finally see some realistic physics with fantasy tentacle rape hentai games. Is it just me, or do the current tentacle rape game physics seem way off?

It's a problem with the underlying ragdoll representation.
They're having difficulties realistically modelling penetration. Close contact like that tends to lead to numerical instabilities in physics engines. There's not much Physx can do to help, though.

That's why there are teams of researchers working night and day to improve the state of tentacle modeling.
If you have what it takes to advance the state of the art there could be a big government grant and a PhD in it for you.

"Having bullet casings, leaves, newspapers and the like drop and swirl around in response to player actions is actually pretty nifty from an immersion standpoint"
That's it. I'm done with immersion games. I'm going outside to stand in the rain. Back later.

particularly for a game that's essentially set in something that resembles the real, modern world
Because leaves didn't drop and swirl before modern times?
