The fantastic physics of the beamng drive
The fantastic physics of the beamng drive
This game is awesome and deserves more credit than it receives. The only thing it lacks imo is built-in multiplayer support (right now you can have mp with a mod but it has some flaws).
Im so happy how it went from a slightly janky physics demo to a respectable driving sim.
I think aero is still mostly missing but otherwise they got their systems working super well
Aero is simultaneously half missing and the most detailed aero of any game I've played. if you take all the weight out of a piccolina and put a mattress on the roof and push it down a hill it flys.
Why not make a new Carmageddon
I QA tested Carmageddon when I worked at Interplay oh so many years ago. It was one of the only games I worked on that I could still play for fun after. I think I still have my boxed copy.
BeamNG is a blast. Utterly unforgiving.
beamNG was one of the games that drove me to build a new PC this summer with an actually modern CPU. That physics engine is completely unparalleled but damn have you gotta pay for it.
A long time ago (at least 15 or 20 years) I played a game on PC with physics like this. I specifically remember driving a Dodge Viper, and every crash would crumple the body a little more where it took a hit. At one point I ended up crumpling the entire car into a single tire I could drive around, as the tires were the only thing that didn't squish.
Anyone know of this game?
YES It was a Dodge Viper game, as in that was the only car available I think. And there was a button to either crush the car more or maybe launch it into the air? I'm pretty sure that's how I managed to crumple it into a ball with wheels just like you. 15 to 20 years ago sounds right
That's the one! It was called Viper Racing, and this came out in 1998! Here's a video of a guy doing just what we described lol
