Dynamic gaming

April 25, 2006

i like videogames that are real
videogames that look real
that feel real
that move real
that give you real choices
and real responses
dynamic games…
LucasArts
and NaturalMotion have come together to create such a game
the “next generation” of games
starting with Indiana Jones…
Euphoria
advanced animation technology?
this technology allows character models to react realistically
and dynamically?
it takes into account the weight
the momentum
and the physics behind moving objects?
for example
a body is going to respond much more violently to a car hitting it
than a person?.
it’s significantly more difficult to try and grab a rope when falling from 15 feet
than it is from 5 feet?.
they’ve also enhanced the characters reactions to situations and their environment?? if you’re pushed into a bench
do you trip?
and while falling
do you try to turn and protect yourself with your hands?
or
if your friend stumbles into you
do you attempt to catch him?
well
these character models do?.
the models act
and react depending on their environment? ..
the game isn’t programmed to have standard packaged generic responses
Euphoria is different
Euphoria is dynamic???
