The Physics of Video Games

submitted by Hybrid

1 decade 3 years 10 months 3 weeks ago

"Oxford, July, 2010.

We were really lucky to meet NaturalMotion the computer games designers responsible for the Euphoria engine that powers such games as GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption as well as their first title Back Breaker.

Matt, Chris and CEO Torsten Reil talk us through the importance of physics in creating realistic game worlds and enhancing the games playing experience.

We see first hand how they can adjust the laws of physics, often with hilarious results!

This film has animation created in-house explaining the physics of forces and motion." - Vimeo

Nice ad for studying physics and maths at school. (Yes, in Australia and England we say 'maths' not 'math')

I also never understood why Gridiron is called "football". They carry and throw the ball with their hands!

The narrator sounds like Minnie Driver.

fancy!

It's called football because it's played on foot, not on horseback. Damn aristocracy, always belittling our peasant games. We should call it freedomball. And see what the queen mother thinks of that.

The first part is more about some pretty impressive inverse kinetics than it is about physics, really. I wanted to see more of the nuts and bolts of -that-

Holy monkeyballs that narrator is incredibly annoying

A lot of it still looks painfully unrealistic. Keep trying guys!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

This should be mandatory viewing for all 14-year-olds who whine in maths class - "Why do I have to learn this crap, I'm never going to use it".
