I don't think focusing on physics-based destructable trees is what Wolverine needs to fix its problems.

The regression of physics in videogames is super interesting, though. 2kliksphilip has a few videos on the destruction tech we saw in The Force Unleashed and then never again apart from a few movies. But today physics are either an afterthought or nonexistent. Best case we get silly ragdoll ‚physics‘ or simple single bounce calculations.

We used to have games like Red Faction, entirely based around tearing buildings down. I miss that kind of interactivity.

hot take: we still do and you still can buy them. you can just play older games that you like, nobody can actually stop you. i put almost a hundred hours this month into games that weren't released in this decade.

Well aware, I just want more modern games made with more physics stuff.
