i used to have a real time beta of a arlier novodeX engine,guess what, its SUPERNATURAL it includes many demonstartions,such as a block of buildings bllowing-up to 16,0000 bricks all physically interactive, this is only a early beta of a privious version of the physics engine and then theres the phyX which is sort of a physics enhancer card like a grapich card that inchances the physics 10 times more!!! theres nothing that this engine can not do!!
if you wnat to see this ingame i suggest that you look again at the ingame scene at the and of the steve polge interview on area51 or at the demonstration from gc which in both you can see the strret lightpools on the new CON-urban map getting blowen-off ,when they are blowen-off the light that they project also turnes-off ,also notice the latest screenshot of the new manta, if you look carefully you could see bullet holles in the manta,these bullet-holles have great visual lookingthat feets the surface thier on,bullets could panatrate objects such as wodden dorrs & you could have a pic through the holl,same goes with explosion craters that will have visual depte & will probably remin till the end of the game. nice huh!
