Causing Havok.

[Venice Cull]

The Havok engine. Possibly the greatest thing that has happend/will happen to violent videogames.

I could never get bored.

This post was brought to you in conjunction with a 2 hour session on Max Payne 2, an otherwise average game saved by the sight of loose limbed torsos being tossed around like a creche hosted in a giant popcorn maker.

havok 2.0 deserves a massive award.

And a parade.

A parade that walks through a minefield no less.

You really need to play Painkiller.

Stake gun induced Havok hilarity.

[Lasers are brilliant]

painkiller is blatantly the current best use of Havok, but it could be ousted by a game where there's swearing and you're a cross between solid snake and uri gellar.

What, sneaking up behind people and acting like a bender?

I'd like to try Painkiller, but it seems I have to buy a massive Radeon with it because my GeForce 4 MX 440 is too weedy for it.

Fuck! I haven't laughed like that all day.

Cheers.

and making thier heads blow up like in scanners. And thowing them about like you can in jedi academy 2 or whatever it was.

As for those geforce mx woes, my radeon 9800se cost 130 from a city center shop and it ran it lovingly.

yeah, I reckon that could do the trick.

In fact, I reckon it would be AMAZING.

[Dimahoo]

SEE.

TEH PHYSICS = TOP GAME.

HOW many times have i said this.

[The Liberal Elite]

physics are BLATENTLY the new 3D.

Oh, the things I've seen over the last couple of weeks...but I can't say, or else I'll get killed!

You can do both of these things in Psi-Ops. Which does use Havok unsurprsingly.

Didn't DE2 use Havok, or was it all a dream?

It does. In the demo, I spent more time throwing that woman around than getting on with the proper objectives.

I'm surprised it's taken so long to be used to be honest...most likely down to processing power.

Mind you, we had a ragdoll beat em up game (Where you could pick up and throw enemies into other enemies and barrells etc) with a ragdoll effect running about a year back.

Hasn't Ninja Gaiden got some ragdoll/physics system in place?

What's DE2?

[mr. fancypants]

What's DE2?

Dues Ex 2

Ah yes. It's all coming back to me now.

I want to see a physics-heavy puzzle game.

Like a mousetrap one with heath-robinson contraptions, or this wicked game design me and some mates subbed to sony once about a monkey that smashes up shops in a domino rally style (knocking down shelves and such causing a chain reaction)

How about a physics-heavy remake of Rampage with a fully-destructable city?

[Venice Cull]

How about 'State of Emergency' with the Havok engine?

With guns and grenades that would make Charlton Heston blush.

Edit: Think the last few seconds of Matrix 2's 'burley brawl'.

That would be so good. Maybe not for very long, but the thought of smashing your giant monkey fist into a building, sending the furniture inside flying and large chunks on concrete falling to the street, bouncing off each other as they tumble would look incredible.
