I heart Havok’s ragdoll physics and now they’re even better. Check out a video of their new tech after the jump.

The first time I played Max Payne 2 and shot a criminal off a building I had myself a moment. I died, came back to life, had 5 babies, got married, died again and came back to life. It was quite an emotional day.

At this year’s GDC, Havok is showing demos of two abosolutely new engines and my heart is racing. Check out a video of their new cloth physics offering.

    @3sicasity, Havok is a physics engine, get your facts straight, they were showing the cape’s physics NOT the graphics…

    no love for physics engines? unreal is not the end all of game engines, and its over used at this point. I love Havok. This is one of the coolest things out of gdc in my opinion.
