It does not happen very often that I’ impressed by game announcements or demonstration videos. I learned a long time ago that game videos do not show much about the gameplay itself but cutscenes and intros. The Euphoria physics engine however caught me by surprise.

I never did put much thought into game physics before and those that were introduced in last years games were still not able to come close to real world physics. Yes, ragdolls are nice but that’s about it.

Euphoria introduces a whole new level of physics, something that can truly be named next gen physics. Character and Object animations look and feel really realistic and it’s a pleasure watching the demonstrations. Even better is the fact that at least two upcoming games will make use of Euphoria: Star Wars the Force Unleashed and the new Indiana Jones game.
