Grand Theft Auto 4's Physics Impress

17
GameAlmighty writes "Grand Theft Auto IV's physics haven't received much attention, but it's one of the first major titles to use the new Euphoria behavioral physics system. It was heavily touted in previews for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and will also power the dynamic tackles in the upcoming football game, BackBreaker. To get a quick idea of how fun the new physics can be, have a look at the following video"

nothing like ragdoll. The body parts still have strain. Ragdoll everything is just flopping.

Getting thrown around like that is way cooler than just dropping down on you back like you were smacked by a fly-swatter in the previous ones. Definitely a great physic upgrade.

Better hope Take 2 doesn't find that vid before Sunday...

I do think the Euphoria physics look way better than ragdoll. Bodies actually move realistically instead of flapping around randomly like there are no bones or muscles.

Actually at the bottom it says, "Hopefully they'll send more videos our way shortly" it could mean that it was sent by R*, maybe.

Euphoria FTW!
