If you read my last update you'll know that things are a little unstable at the office today, so I did my best to check and see if we'd already posted this (sorta old) little movie demonstrating the post-ragdoll physics being used in the new Indiana Jones game. And I don't think we have. Be sure to write outraged e-mails to the tips address if I'm wrong, 'kay?
I think that might be Bashy scrabbling at the door just now, so I'll make this quick. This here video was made using the Endorphin engine, which LucasArts has mysteriously appropriated and renamed euphoria (yes, it does have to be lowercased and italicized)
The video is neat-ish, but I would have liked to see some clearer representations of the "same scenario, different results" thing being trumpeted in Game Informer's June Indy article. The screenshots look promising, if a little over-lightbloomed. But it sounds like Lucas himself has been a key part of the project from beginning to end, so I'm already resigned to be enraged by the story and dialogue. Sigh.
