It's just a logical evolution in game engine technology. That's like saying "I never got the obsession with moving from vector graphics to textured objects."

Re: Ragdoll in Forgelight?


No I get that it's the next step, but like I said it's not that make or break for me and if it hurts the actual game to have it in, I'd rather leave it out. If they can get it in no problem then go for it.

I just worry it's going to look a little goofy when a Gal pops and you see a squad of corpses flying through the sky with their arms rapidly flailing about. Not that it wouldn't be kind of funny to watch, I just don't know if it might be too goofy.

Clientside ragdolls.

I'm betting the position of the body would be marked, though the orientation/flailing physics part would be purely clientside.

I have no expertise, but that seems reasonable.

NOT having ragdoll at this point in gaming would be a tactical face palm moment.

I dunno, doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Seems like a very minor issue in the big scope of things.

I always felt the tower battles in PS1 could have benefited from ragdoll, when your faction is pushing to get up several levels of stairs. It would be amazing to see enemy bodies rolling down the steps toward you as you charged up at the opposition, firing wildly and throwing grenades, as the explosions tossed enemies against the ceiling and walls.

They could also use ragdoll in some other interesting ways, such as having a shotgun blast knock someone over the railing on the top deck of a tower, or having a Galaxy go down in a fiery blast that sent the passengers flying in different directions.

Do you guys expect to see ragdoll, and if so, how would this add to the feel of PS2?

I think that was suggestion enough. Every new AAA game has ragdoll animations nowadays and I don't see a reason why a state-of-the-art MMO engine (one that Forge Light will most likely be) wouldn't have them.

I expect to see ragdoll physics, but not with a shotgun. Mythbusters hit that one twice showing even a .50 cal barely makes a person twitch, let alone fly back. Shotgun is the same way, target might stumble due to shock, but there's no way it's going to knock them off anything. Hollywood dramatic effects not actually possible. If physx is as good as they say, then unless they crank up the force on bullets to completely absurd levels we shouldn't see any knockback from bullets or shotguns. Missile impacts and other concussive blasts I would expect, like grenades, tanks, etc. Vanu weaponry being the exception since they don't use kinetic energy weapons.

You can't marry a physics engine. Thats like having a girlfriend for only her breasts...

You need those sexy graphics, all that audio decompresion on the fly. That tight event system. Serious memory managment (so you don't forget). Not to mention a full scripting engine so you can do crazy stuff together spontanously.

While I do like Nvidia's products I do have some concerns with PhysX. Does PS2 plan on doing accelerated GPU PhysX or the PhysX meant for doing physics strictly on the CPU? A lot of players are still confused as to which is being used.
