[QUOTE="lord-azrael"][QUOTE="JrodM121768"]Alan wake, Unreal 3, Halo 3 should all have great physics. I am 100% sure that alan wake will have great physics as it is a dx10 showcase game kinda like Crysis cept crysis won't be coming to 360.havokmaster
I hear Halo 3 is on a modified halo 2 engine which I hope is a lie as that game's physics sucked and I cant see how modifiying a engine can improve physics that much,then again could be wrong,there are rumours that Half life 2's source engine is a modified Half life 1 engine with Havok 2 features implemented
Half Life 1 ran on the Quake engine, Half Life 2 runs on the Source engine, very different...
yes I know that,look for source engine on wiki,it talks about how the source engine rumoured to be built from the half life 1 engine which as you said is a modified quake 3 engine,and this is the conclusion from modders as I admit I know Jack about how it all works. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_engine here the page
Although Valve has explicitly stated that the Source engine has been built internally from the ground up, rumors and myths persist that it is instead merely derived from the original Quake codebase via Valve's GoldSrc offshoot. The primary reasons for this are the manner in which the engine uses similar development interfaces to GoldSrc (to aid transitioning developers), and John Carmack's comment on his blog that "there are still bits of early Quake code in Half-Life 2", expanded through hearsay to be a confirmation that large swathes of code are identical, when no such conclusion can be drawn from the statement. There remains no solid proof that Source is derived from the GoldSrc codebase — and indeed, given the fact that the 2003 code leak did not produce any such claims it can only be assumed that no incriminating evidence was to be found.
However, it is known that Source was developed part-by-part, slowly replacing the GoldSrc engine in Valve's internal projects. This explains its modular nature, and suggests that, even if Source was not derived from GoldSrc, GoldSrc was at the very least modified to plug into it during development.
PS I found this section quite amusing,even my PC wouldnt be able to hack it and mine plays Medieval 2 on full everything.
With color correction and film grain already released, Valve intends to add other cinematic effects such as motion blur and depth of field to Source when hardware is able to render it to their satisfaction. The effects are accomplished with an frame rate of thirty frames per second, a video card is required to produce between six hundred and nine hundred frames per second. This causes late 2005-era hardware to require a full two seconds to render each frame.
