Holy ♥♥♥♥ I wish real cars had warthog like physics...

If you say physics aren't necessary in most games today you are sadly mistaken. Racing games, FPS, Puzzlers, etc. wouldn't be anywhere near as excellent as they are now.

HOW WOULD OUR BELOVED CC BE WITHOUT PHYSICS?!?! Probably still awesome :/ but not as much...

What would you think if HL2 didn't have it's physics? If GTA still had pre-animated deaths and no Euphoria? If DIRT, Forza Motorsport, PGR, etc. didn't have their advanced car physics? Most games have physics, you might not notice it because they don't throw ragdolls in your face.. (Call of Duty 4 [Bullets, grenades, etc.], Super Mario Galaxy [Should be obvious], etc.)

On Topic:
I hope to god this becomes available to the public in some form soon.. I can see 3-D CC clones using something like this...

How many times did I say etc.?

yeah, I was going to post something along the lines of that post... 2 times, but after writing both I decided not to post them for some reason, so... yeah, totally agree. (you get +1 in your mind-reader skill, you can apply it immediately)

Haha, no. That's scripted.
Unless you're talking about what happens if you fall into those blackhole things.
That I'll give you, but that's not exactly the obvious part you're mentioning.

Okay, maybe not as obvious as I made it out to be (I kept thinking of the blue transport bubbles and other things :/). But you should still get my point.
