Pretty awesome video. I just hope you can change the landscape a little more than that.

huh. yknow deformable and destructable ladn would really make a difference in some games, take the second halo, sure items can explode, you can shoot out the wheels on a warthog, but when you throw a grenade it explodes leveing a smooth surface with a burn mark on it, they should use nex techologies like this to make craters and stuff in real time.

Nice find Neil, I'll keep my eye on this. deformable and destructable ladn would really make a difference in some games, take the second halo, when you throw a grenade it explodes leveing a smooth surface with a burn mark on it, they should use nex techologies like this to make craters and stuff in real time. I got a funny feeling something similar will be used in Halo 3.

i dont think so, i have senn a fair few vids and i think the new pysihcs in the game is more devoted to the new types of shields in the game, like the shiled grenade, like in one vid a guy threw a grenade, then a shield grenade over that, stood next to it and you see the grenade explode in a shiled bubble and the inside was just the same black ground, itd be cool to see like a cicrular area of devastation, like the time warp bubbles at the start of the terminator.

Sweetness. I also watched a trailer recently for the new Battlefield game by EA, I forget the name now, but apparently in that game you can destroy your surroundings. So if you lob a grenade at a wall, sh*t's gonna get blown up.
