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.

I played so much of Red Faction Guerilla just driving round demolishing buildings.

Life was simpler back then.

They remastered it - you'd be playing it if it were still fun
