I honestly think that most AAA games are pretty static nowadays. You'd think that destruction would've evolved until now but games like Red Faction Guerrilla or Battlefield Bad Company 2 are still pretty unique despite their age.
Yeah why is that? Are physics effects too expensive to develop or something?
@Reanu Keeves Cheers. Currently playing Atomic Heart and Hogwarts Legacy. They both have a bit of physics stuff but could definitely use more haha
@@BNJT No clue. The Finals is gonna have sick destruction and it's made by former DICE developers. I hope it's gonna be good and successful so that others are trying to mimic the destruction.
@4K 60FPS Exactly man, they're evolving backwards. Far Cry 2 is probably still the most detailed Far Cry to date. And it's a lot of franchises that evolve like that.
@@ReanuKeevesAus so atomic heart worth the buy I have been on the fence about it
Hi GameRanx, thanks for all the kind words about Instruments of Destruction! Truly honored to be on the list. One more detail that might be of interest: I also worked on Red Faction Guerrilla for 5 years (lead technical designer).
Wow amazing
My kids a little young for games but I plan on instruments of destruction being his first game, he loves that stuff
@@spooner7637 Play it together with him!
@@ArawnOfAnnwn I plan on it!
@@spooner7637 That's awesome! FYI: The campaign will be undergoing massive changes over the next few months, so you may want to hold off 'til the summer. It will be a lot more fun to play then. If you just want to build crazy vehicles though (and can handle some UI jank), that's very powerful now.
Control is such a great game and absolutely deserved to be on this list
👍🏼
Yes and the BeamNG driving
The only game to do randomly selective things I once imagined the "ultimate game" doing. Female lead (non-misandrist), non sexualized, Metroidvania-ish, telekinesis, infinite power use, excuse for infinite ammo, hard-but-easy bosses that are more puzzles than sponges, environmental destruction... so many check marks.
I haven’t watched this video yet and was hoping control would be here so that’s good. Such a great game
@@gameranxTV I honestly hate your stupid not thought out replies. They sound like you could give two shits about whatever the comment is about. It just seems like you have a bot setup that chooses from a set of emojis and replies to random early comments. Either don’t reply, or if you do atleast put some effort into it.
When I first pulled a block of concrete off a pillar in Control my eyes popped. A small detail, but for me, made a huge difference. Truly felt like anything built could to some extent be turned into a weapon.
control was a amazing game and i can`t wait for the sequel
👆🏻
Yes! I forgot about Control. Such a quality game and amazing story.
@@MellowFreshplay it. You won’t regret it. Remedy gets shit done.
@@MellowFresh I don't understand your question...
@@MellowFresh it was free on ps plus before. I do not know if that can happen twice.
Control is probably the only game I can play repeatedly without getting bored of it. The random encounters that are always different. The destruction. The crazy plot. It's just too good.
Teardown also has great fire and smoke physics. The way the smoke can build up, and seep through tiny gaps is cool.
In Control, not only are the physics incredible, but every single item, down to a piece of paper, is INCREDIBLE detailed. It's fun just walking around and seeing how detailed everything is.
The fastest AAA I stop playing to date. So boring and freaking stupic story.
@@Vanadium No one asked
@@Vanadium No one asked
fun fact: the ray tracing in control is so good and so detailed that you can see rooms reflected in jesse's eyes if you zoom far enough in photo mode
@@Vanadiumlol what ? Dude if you had the patience to stick through it you become a flying superpowered demigod by the end of it… but if that sounds lame then go back to COD kid 😂
I'm actually surprised Outer Wilds isn't on this list. That game basically simulates a miniature solar system with all the orbital physics and (fictional) quantum physics! Love that game.
Agreed. It’s an amazing game with ridiculously accurate physics. Exploring the solar system is amazing and then you have the fact that so much changes over time, so what you might be able to do say in the first 5 minutes you can’t in the second 5 minutes or vice versa. Truly a great game and extremely underrated in my opinion.
I literally watched this because I want to see if Outer Wilds is in it but I wasn't really expecting it since I don't remember this channel ever covering about Outer Wilds. In fact, I might have watched a few of this channel's video hoping to see Outer Wilds 😆
To be fair, physics in Outer Wilds might not be flashy enough to be included. It's part of the core of the game instead of a "feature" that stands out. Many players might notice more the "difficult/complicated" flying/traversing than saying "oh I like the physics" 😄
i hate to disagree, since the game is amazing. but......
the 2 or 3 (if you count quantum), physics interactions are fairly simple. gravity, or inverse if you are in water, and the ball mechanisms. quantum is more of a grey area, "if not observed; move/teleport". most would argue thats just mechanics, instead of physics since its not exactly interacting with anything. the sands on the ash twins, maybe, but thats just one ball shrinking, and another growing, with the material set to sand.
but that doesn't change, the main 2 factors in the game being gravity and time.
I'm watching a playthrough right now and he's in the DLC now and you know what? I take it back. Outer Wilds should be here. The simulation and physics in this game creates so many possibilities in the game.
DLC Spoilers.......
Seeing the destruction in the DLC is so amazing. You can zoom inwhile the destruction happens even though you're far away from it. You can even see random floating things you can ride 😁
@@PartytimeYOLOyou do understand all the planets are simulated right? If you use mods and move the sun, the orbits get all messed up
Im glad that Teardown made it in the video however I think too much emphasis was placed on it being a heist game.
While the campaign is like that, you can also play all the maps in sandbox mode with infinite ammunition, etc. Also the game's modding community is core to the game. The developers promote modding and there are many terrific mods available to download on the steam workshop.
👍🏼
I was waiting for tear down to be on the list and it get a mention… that’s it? Somehow the all the other games on the list were better for physics then one of the most impressive physics games we’ve ever seen? Like what. Who tf makes these lists, I mean we have games on here with literally the smallest amount of physics.
@@robprince9445 True
Yeaaaa the physics and destruction are a huuuuuuge core part of the game. The explosions, the particles, the fire, the driving physics even.
If you so desired you could literally wipe the maps clean if you got the right tools.
Definitely odd only seeing it as an honourable mention, especially compared to hardspace or control.
I think the heist aspect saved the game. If it was just destroy for destruction sake that would get old really fast. Wish he would have made it a "zombie survival(with spiders)" like he was originally planning, I followed his game on fb 3 years before it came out, saw a little video showcasing the physics and fell in love immediately
I love the concept of Snow Runner. I still can't believe this a game.
👌👍🏼
I downloaded it recently and I absolutely love playing it. It's the perfect mix of strategy and relaxing for me and the graphics on ps5 are insane
I want snow runner now...
@@msturg80 it on gamepass, absolutely worth it if you like trucks and off-roading
@@tophmeister3 man the graphics are just good in general. I play on Xbox 1 and it still looks phenomenal
Wreckfest has soft body physics and is pretty damn fun
👆🏻 yep
Soft body physics wise, it's very fun... But the cars feel like they all handle with the same vague arcady feeling.
@@svpracer98 Yeah the driving model was horrible. Still was fun to try out a couple of races though, since it's on gamepass.
@@Fayaz_Sadiq I think the driving model in this game is excellent, suits the type of game very well, to the point I want the Devs to remake the driver series. Did you try turning off all the driving assists. You get much more control of the car
@@nataliebuck821 nah I didn't experiment too much tbh, just tried out the crash physics for a few games then deleted it. I'll give it another go if I get some free time.
Dishonored! Felt like a playground for otherworldly powers and weapons, plus the art direction works so well with world and physics
wow yes! I'm just atm playing the death of the outsider for the first time, and planning to play 1 and 2 again for maybe the 5th time
Greatest series ever made I replay them constantly.
It's so sad that we'll never get a dishonored 3. They're some of the best stealth games ever made
@@stylianosvrikkis6974 we won't?
@@Homieck We won't Arkane shelved all their IPS. They want to work on new IPS not the old ones
I disagree with Falco saying teardown has basic graphics. Sure, it's voxel based, with blocky textures, but the lighting, reflections, bloom and all the other effects? Top notch!
I remember playing soldier of fortune 23 years ago, that was mind-blowing. It was such an amazing experience, it was wild 😍
👆🏻
me to ! his there actually one fps with the same physic the ennemy had ? you remember you could shoot in there hand to make them drop gun and in there knee to make them run no more (sorry bad english)
Noita deserved a spot on this list. Impressive and unique.
Beat me to it, NJoint. The environmental physics are amazing to behold
Sandbox games usually are, but indeed Noita deserves to be mentioned.
Just saw this.. after I'd wrote my comment of course lol 🙃
They proud of every pixel being simulated and have every right to be proud games a fuckin gem
Noita is the greatest game ever. It's the only game I can play for hours without accomplishing anything. I beat it once out of sure luck. It was the highlight of my life.
HL2, GTA IV and BeamNG are very notable for me
need a 10 games with mindblowing PHYSIQUES 👀
2B
@@siemorebuts4159 facts!!
@@ReanuKeevesAus gigachad name. TheSpiffingBrit is a legend lmao 😂
@@ReanuKeevesAus no shot lol crazy coincidence
game physics is one of the coolests things for me and I wish modern games would work less on better grafics and more on game physics
BeamNG simulates every moving part of the vehicle and it's wildly impressive. Over the years they've made the driving feel pretty good too
you know it's good when it's starting to rival ac
Driving still feels terrible ngl, both on wheel and on controller.
@@ZeallustImmortal Why that? It got pretty realistic over time and even with a controller it's great to play in the current state. Even driving Rallye tracks is pretty fun and feels even better than in games like Dirt Rallye, etc. For the controller, however, you need to have the assisted steering so you won't do a full steering wheel rotation when going fast.
@@d1on no, vehicle handling in the game is horrible and unrealistic
@@ZeallustImmortalAre you playing with car mods? Because they usually have pretty bad and unrealistic handling, ngl.
I was expecting games like Titanfall 2 and other AAA games but these ones are truly gems
Nowadays it is difficult to find AAA games with good physics
surprised that Portal 2 didn't make this list. Crazy physics in that game especially for its old age
I’d give a mention to Crash N’ Burn. Its basically the game Burnout tried to copy and made a worse version of. Basically a racing/demolition derby type game, with surprisingly good car customizations, and fantastic destruction physics! But not only that, it is OLD, like early OG xbox/PS2 era. When you go that far back, destruction and physics in general is usually quite lacking, but not in Crash N’ Burn. Physics was the main selling feature! There might be one or two games older than it that might have somewhat comparable physics, but it’d be hella close. Basically the grandfather of car destruction.
A couple other noteworthy physics games are Crysis(needs no explanation) and Cellfactor Revolution. Cellfactor was a game that showed off the power of Physx physics processing units(PPU) before Nvidia bought Aegia. That game's physics were streets ahead.
👍🏼
I was sure Crysis would be on this list, never will forget how many hours just spent with unlimited ammo and destroying things, there were a ton of videos testing physics to its limits (like stacking thousand barrels and exploding them), honestly to this date no game has physics that can match it, even Crysis series themselves moved away from that idea...only game that was similar was Bad Company, which also isn't on this list :O
Besiege was such a cool little game! Some of the community stuff people came up with was mind blowing… Red faction still holds up so well! Great list gameranx 💙
Thanks
Control, Beam NG and Red Faction: Guerilla have some pretty cool destruction physics. I also think the physics still hold up pretty well in GTA IV.
I feel like Falcon put a little extra love into this one. Some of the games he mentioned are really niche and incredibly impressive.
It hasn't aged well but the OG soft body physics game for me was Destruction Derby. It blew my mind how awesome crashing in that game was
For the n64? Shit was too fun as a kid lmao
Not soft body physics but ok
All the crazy violent animations in TLOUP2!!
I always though the Mercenaries series was super cool that you could ACTUALLY destroy buildings and bridges. I used to just go around as a kid and destroy Everything for fun.
👌
sad mercenaries didnt make the list
0:03 the pistol shots lining up with the beat was actually pretty slick
It's nice to see Snowrunner getting some love!
Damn that Beam NG Drive game really is shockingly realistic. Never seen metallic surfaces behave so fluidly like a real metal object in a game before.
PC only And Steam only its 30 bucks just buy it
@@YosemiteTheDeer but be sure to have a look at the requirements before you buy, it can be pretty heavy on your hardware
Battle field 4 is a great example of realistic physics, the way you can destroy thing and they will just crumble is always cathartic for me, especially the huge tower that you can blow up that covers the map in dust after it falls.
bf1 was better. In bf4 most of the destruction was scripted
SO happy to see Control in here - completed it when it came out and have been replaying it on PS5 again the last couple of weeks. The atmosphere still feels mesmerising to me, it really nails an uncanny kind of feeling. One of my fav games ever honestly and the level of destruction and debris still feels next gen, hardly seen anything else like it. Fantastic game!
im so glad you talked about Control. its by far my favorite game. if youre reading this, please give it a shot especially if youre into SCP and HP lovecraft/ eldritch abstract horror
I always love hearing your commentary Falcon, gameranx is probably one of the only consistent video game channels with good content and news.
🤝🦅
Who needs a degree in physics when you have these games?
Yep
@@gameranxTV love you gameranx
The physics demo of the original Red Faction blew my mind when I was a kid. It was just a room where you could destroy the walls and make tunnels and I must have played that one room for hours as a kid
Hidden gem Paper Beast has some of the coolest water and landspacing physics using sand, wind, heat and ice.
No Just Cause ?
The first time I picked up a beer bottle in Half Life Alyx and watched the liquid sloshing inside my brain melted a little bit.
😅
The whole game was brain melting, the level of immersion was like nothing else I've ever experienced. Just incredible.
@@Crushenator500 yes I agree. But the most fun I’ve had with VR so far has been Skyrim VR with 100 plus mods. Unmodded it’s unplayable but with the right mods it becomes the best VR experience possible (if you’re a fan of the game at all I mean)
Watching that vodka slosh around was one of those “how tf did they do that??” Moments for me. Apparently it’s shaders, but don’t ask me how. It’s incredible.
Wish it'd crop up on the PSVR2 :(
I loved Hydrophobia. It has the best water physics i have ever seen in a game. Have never seen a game having the same level of water physics since. Good story. And if you have claustrophobia, you will be scared out of your mind.
How could you not include H3VR? It may not be as well-known as Alyx, but it's got the best game physics I've ever seen. The gun handling are just phenomenal with the realism.
this!
Hey Falcon and the Gameranx team! Amazing content by the way.
Please keep up with the good work 💪🏾
🤝 will do
Being able to destroy the environment is so underrated
This is one of your guys best lists IMO. I agree and love all the games I have played on this list. We need more games like this. I'm thinking RFG in control universe with beam ng car physics would be the best game ever made. Great video guys!
That Besiege would be such a good game in VR (in a MOSS kind of setup). Making the machines with your hands! I can see that getting incredibly addictive.
Also, I’m getting this game anyway, never heard of it, looks ace, thanks.
Just got my 2nd Control platinum ☺️
Woah nice
If anyone is interested in seeing crazy Besieged content, Draegast covers so many community creations, especially the pc breaking transformers types
The first Red Faction was the best one. You could mine almost eternity in the terrain on the maps. You could did insanely long tunnels or blow up large terrain bridges. The later games focused more on building demolition and not terrain destruction. Something that made the first game awesome.
Skyrim physics have blown my mind from frustration. I bump into a cart and it goes flying, I kick a potion and it hardly moves.
Returnal’s particle physics engine is nuts.
Funnily enough, The Finals is in closed beta now (I think)! JackFrags did a video on it, it looks incredibly fun! Apparently made by ex-Battlefield and Battlefront devs.
guarantee that games beta going live today was the inspiration for this video
Maybe the physics weren't the key, but the destructible environments of Mercenaries 2 were the only thing that made the game playable - and it was so satisfying to bring down an entire block.
- Noita: Every pixel has its own physics
- The Finals: Upcoming multiplayer game with full server-side destruction (Skill Up has a good video)
There's a new game coming out soon called The Finals that has really cool environmental destruction. Worth checking out!
Some pretty impressive looking gameplay videos has been uploaded the last few days. It looks like a blast! :)
i hope more games would be like this with good gore physics
Of course it has to be the guy with the Doom slayer pic
Prototype
It's very difficult to do gore and a huge amount of work, every single bit of damage that you see in Doom is a specific model they had to create and seamlessly integrate during gameplay on every single enemy etc.
I love these "Falcon Explains" videos. I've done a marathon of them. I still get nostalgic tingles when he first introduces himself as "Falcon".
Other honourable mentions:
Alone in the Dark and Far Cry 2 for fire physics, Virtua Fighter and Tomb Raider II for hair physics on extremely early 3d engines, Jagged Alliance 2 and Silent Storm for early examples of fantastic destruction physics, Sea of Thieves for ocean physics, GTA IV for euphoria, water and vehicle/damage physics, Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts for being one of the first games to actually try believable vehicle building physics and Crysis because Crysis.
Control was lit
👆🏻
Never played it but I'm thinking about looking into it I loved Alan Wake and I'd play it just for the Wake connection
@Reanu Keeves it's no longer on game pass bit it's on sale for 70 percent off the ultimate edition
@user-nu7dk6zj9p 70??? Gosh. To think I got it when it first dropped for 40 on ps network.
@user-nu7dk6zj9p funny story! I got this game and was noticing the files you read a long the story mention Alan wake ( a game I heard a lot about but never ) played. Long story short it got me interested in Alan wake just before the remake was announced.
I'm surprised teardown wasn't number one on the list, and I played most of the games listed. It's the most impressive I've seen so far. Why was breath of the wild even on this list? It barely has physics at all! Did you use ChatGTP to make this list or is someone just terrible at their job?
I remember playing red faction guerrilla for years, nothing matched the way everything was able to be destroyed. Even got the remastered version. I wish there was another open world red faction with the stunning destruction that comes with the series. They're truly beautiful games for what they are
lets not forget the game Black from 2006 developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts it was crazy at the time
Besieged only reminds me of Markiplier lmao
NOTA-PEN-IS is the most useful machine of destruction 🤣🤣🤣
😅
It's a damn shame we didn't get a sequel to Control. I loved the premise. And Hydrophobia was kind of cool.
Hopefully soon
Control 2 just announced last year. Maybe we'll get them in 4-5 years time.
@@penyuwan nah due to making other games like Alan wake 2 max Payne remakes it will take a long time
Control isn't even an old game, it's practically new! It's stupid to expect a studio to pump out sequels immediately! What if they want to make something else first? Ever thought about what they want to spend years of their life on?
I'm SHOCKED Boneworks or Bonelabs wasn't on this list!
I love half life alyx, but Boneworks has the best physics of any game I've ever played. 100/10 worth checking out.
Boneworks has bad physics compared to Alyx, it just utilizes them more. Boneworks is interaction at the cost of immersion and alyx is immersion at the cost of interaction.
Stormworks should've made the list. Not just for the wave/water or wind/flying physics. But the engine and vehicle building dynamics are unreal on their own
Where is Gmod?? Explain yourself Falcon!
loololololololol
Fear, Max payne (all of them), gta 4, Battlefield bc 2, 3 and 4. 🙄
Just Cause.....
Gravity Rush's flying mechanics as "falling" was a great spin on the super power. likewise, controlling gravity was cool. the whole game had a great feeling of motion as you "fell" across around the map along with other abilities.
Superliminal's perspective based physics while simple did infact blow my mind.
Anyone else on the toilet?
Yup rn
Not rn will let you know when I am
Just in bed. With...
I would have thought Outer Wilds would be here. Heard so many good things about it and that you shouldn't watch anything about it but play it instead. I guess that's why its not here so it doesn't spoil anything about it. A friend told me that one of her friends bought the game for someone else to play and had them stream it so they could experience the game again.
snow runner is the funnest driving game i’ve ever played. the mods and realism of the physics is what makes snow runner one of the best out there. the size of the game too is insane.
Watching Falcon speaking about SnowRunner, one my favorite games of all time, just made my day!
👌👍🏼
Same bro
One old goodie that should be mentioned is Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason. Survival horror before that genre was even brought to the surface. Back then absolutely balls to the walls physics as it was PhysX techdemo for liquid physics and it's beautiful in that. Also just the mechanics around cold and warm are so well done it is a shame it got medicore reviews and never even got any cult following even.
I haven’t been able to stop binging this channel since I found it last week. These videos are so good!
Ngl thankyou for not being a money hungry youtuber pushing sponsored content, people like me pay for premium to avoid ads and people like you deserve more
Hope such physics gets implemented more in upcoming games. Especially race ones
I'd like to mention TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2. Most immersive sense of speed I've felt on a console. Punishing/rewarding physics with an awesome career mode on real road racing bikes. Perhaps the followup to Polyphony's Tourist Trophy we deserved... eyes on TT IOM rote 3 this year :)
A good bonus entry should be Noita which is a rogue like 2d game that has every single pixel in a sandbox simulation and its extremely difficult and challenging and fun too.
I'm missing Just Cause 3 and The Force Unleashed!
this video reminded me of trailmakers, a game that you need to take care of terrain and the weight of your vehicle, basically is a vehicle building game to solve puzzles, but you can build from submarines to airplanes, and take care of hydro/aerodynamics, really fun, definitly recomended
Haven't you considered "Outer Wilds"? How gravity works and the handle of the ship is just amazing.
I know it's not out yet but I'm surprised 'The Finals' isn't among the bonus games. The destruction physics are incredible, even moreso considering it's multiplayer
Should've mentioned the unlimited possibility in BeamNG with mod support, and doing everything you'd like to do with cars.
I love this list, def gonna check some of them out!
Snowrunner is great. Lost 2 years to that one. And I still play it every once and a while
The finals have alot of destructable environment in a multiplayer scene. it's pretty impressive!
Of Course The Finals had to show up while you were editing this video. When first Red Faction was released I was blown away by the world destruction in that too. Great list of games here.
Glad Red Faction was included, that entire series was amazing and innovative with its Geo-Mod technology.
Even the first on still hasn’t been matched for its freedom of destruction, I think.
I'd love to see a video on games with the best cloth physics. Not enough people praise cloth physics when they're great and so it feels like developers have kinda just done the bare minimum in alot of games nowadays.
OMG Hardspace! Massively sick game, so happy to see it still getting love
👍🏼
My first, and favourite moment with physics in a PC game was in X-Com Apocalypse. There were missions where you had to enter residential buildings and clear out the hostile aliens. After a while, you could unlock technology that was strong enough to destroy the supports of these buildings. Destroy enough of them and everything crashes down. Terrible rep, fun demolition.
Everything you see realistic physics in gameranx video expect teardown & red faction gorilla in the list over 9000
Bullet and “impact” physics in Sniper Elite 5 are awesome. Especially shrapnel mapping when explosives go off.
Half Life 2’s gravity gun is still awesome!
God I want another Red Faction game. I remember when I played the orginal game and being blown away. That glass house/barn demo thing they had was great too.
Love me some vidya gams (0:06). Great video as always guys!
I had so much fun in Besiege! I can't wait to check Instruments of Destruction 😁
