The programmer worked at the company from February 2020 to April 2023. He had this on his LinkedIn:

He has since removed the info from his LinkedIn profile (probably got a DM from Rockstar HR lol, so it's a good sign that this is real)

AFAIK Fully procedural glass tech for vehicles and props would be something way beyond what we've seen in GTA V or RDR2 where glass destruction was "pre-baked". The dev's entry suggests that GTA VI's procedural system calculates unique dynamic cracks and shards in real time based on the exact impact force and angle, so it'd look far more advanced and realistic. Probably something akin to Half-Life: Alyx or The Finals.

What about the character moving without a stick in the ass.

Tlou2 maybe is one of the best glass shit.

I was looking for a good Mirror's Edge PhysX video but it's pretty underwhelming (chunky collisions with the ground but not taking into account the shape of the shards so they dance on-edge) compared to the cloth reactivity, ripping/shredding good stuff.

The original 2001 (UE1) build of Duke Nukem Forever:


Can you believe that this existed in 2001 and was planned for the ill fated Duke Nukem Forever?

Broken glass thread. No one mention the thing you're thinking right now. You know who you are.

I always grab that TV playing Dr. Breen's message in that apartment early on in HL2 and throw it out the window. Pretty sure that window had glass.

The sound of breaking glass is the only ASMR I need.
