I am convinced that DNF is not a game, but rather an elaborate front that software designers rent out to advertise their new engines.

"DNF now runs on this hot new physics engine!!!"

*Meqon slips DNF "dev team" some cash"

Very cool stuff. I love deconstructing the base of the scaffolding and watching it fall over. These demos are bringing out the destruction in me!
 
Is that why there's so many variations of good/bad ragdoll phyics in games? Different physics engines from different companies? I mean sometimes ragdoll looks like absolute shit (Deus Ex 2, Farcry) and sometimes it looks pretty damn good (Counter-Strike: Source).


This one looks much better than Havok for example.

It's about more than just looks, however. How performance scales is probably more important to most developers.
