Stunning.
Hair has always been a big problem.
Just remembered that PS4 is going to use an AMD chip

AMD used DirectCompute for Tomb Raider which is Microsoft's approach for GPGPU. It will be possible for PS4, sure, but with MS it's already in the API.

So then both consoles will likely have this amazing hair?

Fantastic.

Let's hope so! It shows what GPGPU is capable of! Eh btw, I meant PS4, not PS3 ;)

Interesting, apparently, the PS4 utilizes gpgpu as well...I'm going to post a thread about it shortly.

But remember, this uses DirectCompute, an implemented API from Microsoft for DirectX 11. Sony has to do this themselves in their API. But yes, will be interesting.
