guess im alone in wanting next gen physics and not graphics.lord-azrael
I like games to have cool physics like crackdown. It has some cool physics, perhaps not realistic, but cool none the less. Now the only problem is if games have great amazing physics they may not use it. That is actually what made Half-Life 2s physics so awesome, it was because the way they used them with the game.
Games can have ok physics like Splinter Cell CT (i haven't played the new one so i wouldn't know about it) but if you really only see the when someone dies what is the point of having them (when you throw someone off a ledge or down stairs is really the only time you notice it in SC). HL2 on the other hand made the physics an essential part of the game.
Now while some will say how glichy or bad Oblivions physics were with holding things, i would say........ atleast they have physics. Consider GTA....... if you hit somebody with a car (can't remember if this still happened with SA) they would automatically go underneath the car. it didn't matter if you hit them while they were above you car it would shove them under it so you could get the bloody wheels. The game had no good physics, but if it did and they were crap i would rather have the crappy physics then none. I mean if you hit someone while they where above the hood and then they flew like half way across the map or somehow phased through the car and the bounced off the ground.... yea i would take those. While the reviewers would down that it would be nice to see the game actually have a physics engine.
