this was demoed a few months back
upto developers if they want to make use of this tech
a game like cold fear would be great

That's one of the biggest downers in gaming for me along with enemy AI peaking in Halo CE. Around the time of games like Criterions' Black it looked like we were getting way more interactivity and blowy-uppy environmental shit, but it never really progressed much beyond that. The latest COD is disappointingly static with just the usual explosive barrels and cars.

Now does this nuke performance to such a degree that we'll barely see it in this gen?
I'm actually ok with an engine building for future hardware fwiw and think over the long run UE5 is going to do fine, but I'm curious how expensive this is for current hardware and if we're likely to see it in games, because some UE5 features are already too taxing for current gen consoles and therefore not used much even on PC

I completely agree.
It almost feels like we have regressed. Games like Red faction: Guerrilla, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and even Half Life 2 featured a degree of physics based immersion that has hardly been surpassed. Funnily enough, Astro Bot is the one game that wowed me from a physics and intractability perspective and it only just released.

Ah, Halo AI was truly incredible. FEAR also. Nothing even comes close in any modern FPS game. Sad that the future has played out the way it has.

Agree that we've regressed to the point where it feels like that kind of interaction between the player and the enemies/environment has been lost. Level design is almost always purely for decoration (God of War etc) with minimal interactivity, AI is usually completely brain dead. It's so much fun messing with physics and AI but it doesn't feel like a priority now.

Halo 3 did this year's ago in a good enough level. Shame that there's so low attention on water physics in all the games!

I know right. Like when I go back and play Killzone 2 and every piece of concrete is breakable to some degree.
Or even Uncharted 1 where certain stone walls would go flying in every direction when a grenade exploded next to them.
There are barely any games that try things like that anymore.

I would love to see Naughty Dog base one of their games much more heavily around water. They are the masters and I've been obsessed with them because of their water tech since I was a kid.
Something like Uncharted Atlantis haha. I can only dream.

- Open thread wondering what GAF thinks of this and how it will apply to future games.
- Everyone is instead whining about the good old days and going through nostalgia-angst again.
There is no any water "physics" in halo. Just your regular shaders and 2D sprites done well. What is showed in this video is on an absolutely different level.

Upscaled to 16k from a base resolution of 240p using PSSR2 and taking a base framerate of 15 using FARTS: Frame-rate Acceleration and Rendering Technology Solution.

We don't even have hd remaster of this masterpiece...
Now we have horizon with panzer jungle that's way less interactive than recent zelda games.
Another example:
New games don't deliver so we have to look into the past. Clearly physics isn't important to vast majority of developers, water physics as well.

Hydrophobia is 14 years old. Let that sink in...

Fingers crossed for a Switch 2 patch of the game.
Wave Race would benefit hugely on that.
). God that was epic.

"From Dust" was way ahead of it's time in terms of fluid dynamics. It's one of my favorite "puzzle" games not without it's hitches, but damn impressive for it's time (2011). Still fun to play

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II uses it but it’s not interactive like the old days.
A really don’t get modern games, 15 year old games do more with physics. Miss the days of mad physics games.
Psi-Ops what a game.

I still only have the demo of this on my PS3 haha. Back when demos were just as fun as a full game.

Hä, what?
Look at this and say that again!
Clearly is fluid simulation another level, but even this Halo level of physzlics isn't achieved by muuuuuch newer titles!
And that's a shame!

Next WaveRace and next Zelda need this!
This is true next gen stuff!

i feel like pixel shaded water is even going backwards somehow
and while youre here listening to me complain, so many games you clip through grass and vegetation
doesnt respond at all
games i tell ya
800 people on a development team; what are they doing?
