That would be pretty sweet. What's the concept like? In other words how what would you be doing differently than current engines, particularly that new one that they made that demolition/racing/goofing off game; I wish I could remember what it was called. The engine they used there seemed pretty realistic, but of course, could always be better.

I am aiming to make one that will take projectile drop off. and see if I can improve the physics in Oculus Rift games. I have a lot of studying to do in the fields of physics and applying it to programming.

Yea, there's a lot that will go into it. I've been contemplating trying to make something similar to spore, but using a formula to generate genes and traits to keep the game as open ended as possible, rather than being limited to a few hundred creatures. Also with maybe kind of a sims feel to it, but sciency, using protiens to cure diseases, stuff along those lines. I guess it's not really an engine, but it's a game haha.

Well cool. Velkommen til PF.

FAQ: Revolutionizing Video Games: The Impact of a New Physics Engine

How will a new physics engine revolutionize video games?

A new physics engine can revolutionize video games by providing more realistic and immersive gameplay experiences. It can improve the graphics, animation, and overall physics of the game, making it feel more lifelike and dynamic. This can greatly enhance the player's immersion and enjoyment of the game.

What are the benefits of implementing a new physics engine in video games?

Implementing a new physics engine in video games can bring many benefits, such as improved graphics and animations, more realistic interactions between objects and characters, enhanced gameplay mechanics, and increased immersion for players. It can also open up new possibilities for game developers to create unique and innovative gameplay experiences.

Will a new physics engine make video games more expensive?

It depends on the specific game and the extent to which the new physics engine is implemented. While a new physics engine may require additional resources and development time, it can also attract more players and increase the game's popularity, potentially offsetting any extra costs. Additionally, advancements in technology and tools have made it easier and more cost-effective for developers to integrate new physics engines into their games.

How will a new physics engine impact game development?

A new physics engine can greatly impact game development by providing game developers with more advanced tools and techniques to create more realistic and immersive gameplay experiences. It can also require developers to learn and adapt to the new engine, potentially leading to longer development times. However, the end result can be a game with improved graphics, physics, and gameplay, which can attract more players and increase the game's success.

Are there any potential drawbacks to using a new physics engine in video games?

While a new physics engine can bring many benefits to video games, there can also be potential drawbacks. The implementation process can be time-consuming and may require additional resources and training for developers. There may also be compatibility issues with older hardware or software, limiting the game's accessibility. Additionally, a new physics engine may not always result in a better game, as it ultimately depends on how well it is integrated into the game's overall design and mechanics.
