Wreaking Havok	comment	Prominent exercises in game physics for the sake of it. Since the first release of the Havok engine in 2000, it's been the go-to software for developers looking to add a little verisimilitude to their worlds — it allows crates to stack realistically, chains to swing convincingly, and corpses to collapse satisfyingly. Its success inspired the creation of several other physics engines. But, like nuclear power, a physics engine can also be used with reckless abandon. Sometimes the developers, giddy with the possibilities afforded them by real-time collision modeling, become drunk with power. You'll run across applications of the physics engine that shout "Hey! Check out these physics!" so loudly it comes dangerously close to breaking the fourth wall. These exercises in game physics conspicuously draw attention to themselves rather than meshing with the rest of the game. Note that this isn't necessarily a bad thing — in some cases, playing with the physics doesn't mesh well with the rest of the experience because it's more fun than the actual game. If you're playing a game that puts a Gravity Gun in your hands, expect to run across a lot of these. Depending on the circumstances, Wreaking Havok may qualify as a form of Benevolent or Malevolent Architecture. Example the first: knocking out a support beam, causing a chunk of the ceiling to crash down on a see-saw and launching you into the air toward the next section of the level. Example the second: knocking out a support beam, causing a chunk of the ceiling to crash down on you. It's also a common feature in latter-day Block Puzzles. As well as Havok there is the Bullet engine, nVidia's PhysX, NewtonDynamics, and many more. It's just that Havok is the most prominent, and we couldn't resist the pun. See also Tech-Demo Game. As you might very well imagine, there's considerable overlap with Video Game Cruelty Potential.

Bumpers, hoods, trunk lids and doors can fall off. It helps even better that you can toss your car around like a child would to his toy by clicking and dragging.

Wreaking Havok / int_223c2a48	comment	The developers for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild went out of their way to make the physics as advanced and detailed as possible. New tools have been developed or reworked from being 2D-only items to take advantage of it, and many new puzzles have been developed around it as well. To give a few examples, the Magnesis item gives you a giant magnet that allows you to levitate metallic objects wherever you want to, the Stasis item holds an object in place and allows you to let it build kinetic energy in a particular direction by continuously hitting it, and the Remote Bombs item allows you to place spherical or cubic bombs whether or not you want them to roll around.

Wreaking Havok / int_243f5fd3	comment	Sonic The Hedgehog: The original Sega Genesis games had a rather advanced physics engine for the time to go along with the games' great speed, as Sonic could realistically pick up speed from running or rolling down a hill. As such the original games tended to have long downhill stretches with no other purpose than to show how blisteringly fast Sonic can go. This is most noticeable in Green Hill Zone in the original game, where Sonic rolls down a pipe and gets launched up a ramp hundreds of feet into the huge pile of rings. In fact, discarding these physics in favor of the nerfed mechanics seen in Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic Rush was one of the major reasons why Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I had such a mixed reception. Silver the Hedgehog's psychokinesis in Sonic '06 is enabled by the Havok Engine and is treated with as much reverence and respect as the rest of the game. That is to say, absolutely none. This seems to be a prevalent problem throughout the entire game. Watch this and laugh. "Physics? What are those?" During their infamous Let's Play, pokecapn and crew note that normally when a physics object is destroyed the pieces seem to lack mass and drift ponderously to the ground — with the exception of one specific section where the physics reactions are scripted and meant to be obstacles, when they slam down at warp speed.

Wreaking Havok / int_2594ce60	comment	Deus Ex: Invisible War is one of the earlier games to use the Havok engine to manipulate most of the game-world's object. The problem is that most objects' weight were set way too light, which led to many amusing (and annoying) results. This also make simple tasks like stacking up two (or more) boxes to reach higher places almost impossible, since they roll/fly away at the slightest touch. Oddly there are no balls to play with on the many pool tables found in the game, which exist in the first game.

Snake can enter an elaborate bar aboard the ship early on, replete with several bottles and glasses to be shot and shattered, but also an ice bucket sitting on the countertop. Shoot that and it will tumble over, spilling its ice around, which will then proceed to realistically melt away to nothing. The level was also supposed to feature a sequence where Snake ran from a rushing wall of water, but the physics involved didn't play well with the engine.

Wreaking Havok / int_28b53408	comment	First Encounter Assault Recon has such a conspicuous physics system you really have to wonder which came first: its horror setting or its physics engine. To clarify, this is a game where objects moving by themselves are meant to creep the player out. Only the thing is, the player model itself is rendered in-game (despite the game being first person), and the player model is in itself a physical object. What this means practically is that you'll constantly find yourself bumping into things and knocking stuff off of shelves like the clumsiest special forces operative in history. Sometimes you'll hear something you just knocked loose making a noise you can't see and whip around thinking something is trying to sneak up on you. On top of that, the physics are prone to glitching when dealing with heavy inanimate objects, like corpses, falling in piles atop each other. They'll often drop to the ground and then begin bouncing off the ground and another object that fell on top of them, starting to bounce up and down very quickly and making a ton of noise. And that's not even getting into the tendency for a corpse's limbs to embed themselves into a wall. Crysis suffers from such dodgy physics as well — considering the at first, cool idea of making some structures completely destructible, you end up either trying not to, or simply getting out of the area as quickly as possible- before the rattling metal drives you insane.

Further hilarity includes using explosives on infantry, watching the guy on the back of a Technical fly off, (if you used a big enough bomb, he flies into the screen), as well as Chinese Supply Trucks, since they have the smallest mass of all vehicles and thus will appropriately fly into space if hit by a Stealth Bomber equipped with bunker busters. Rocket Buggies are also rigged to always shoot up into the air and explode into their parts spectacularly.

Wreaking Havok / int_33dd1d90	comment	Half-Life 2, which might be the Trope Codifier, contains heaps of physics puzzles, from piling cinder blocks on see-saws to placing buoyant barrels under an aquatic ramp to removing cinder blocks from a pulley system, right down to a carelessly dropped can in the opening. And these all occur before you get the Gravity Gun. One wonders whether every member of the Resistance fleeing from City 17 had to pass the same series of puzzles, or whether this was an elaborate obstacle course set up to determine whether Gordon Freeman was truly the Chosen One...note Ironically, the physics engine Valve chose wasn't even made by Havok. It was made by a German competitor named Ipion Virtual Physics who got bought out by Havok before Half-Life 2 came out. It was effective enough then that Valve was willing to pay Havok $50k per game until they made Rubikon for Source 2.

Wreaking Havok / int_3aab82a	comment	Just Cause 2 introduced the Double Hook (over the first game's simple grappling-hook) mostly just to show off the Havok engine. It allows you to basically attach any two objects to one another. Attach an enemy to the ceiling, watch him bop around while you use him as a pinata... attach the head of a dictator's statue to the back of your car and hit the gas to watch the statue topple and shatter - then continue down the road, dragging the head behind you. The possibilities are endless, and not all of them are well-executed... for example, if you attach your car to the tail of a jumbo-jet about to take off, your car will swing wildly under the aircraft once in flight, picking up more and more speed until it finally does a complete loop-the-loop over the wings of the plane... A multiplayer mod for the game can also cause havok such as attaching a LAFV to another players helicopter and sitting in it as it takes off, and then it goes to hell. For the same mod, it's possible to find servers, which enable world options. One of those options are to turn off the turbo limit for vehicles. Curiously, due to how the physics for boats are, using turbo for a boat, will have it completely ignore any laws and fly straight into the air.

Wreaking Havok / int_43f52aa9	comment	Oblivion brings the engine into the series and offers plenty of fun with it. To note: Oblivion slips into Wreaking Havok territory early in the game. Part of the tutorial, if you pick up the bow, asks you to shoot a target with an arrow. Had the target been anything but a hanging bucket, the incident probably would have passed unnoticed; since it is a hanging bucket, which jostles around amusingly on the end of its rope and hangs differently from the weight of the arrow stuck in it, it's obvious that Bethesda was using the opportunity to show off the physics engine. To Bethesda's credit, the game only prompts you to do this if you pick up the bow in the room, which is entirely optional. At other points in the game, the physics engine mostly leads to you knocking everything off the tables when you so much as walk slowly by them. An extremely hilarious one happens should you be able to kill a guard before it tries to arrest you: the guards constantly accelerate to ensure they will actually catch up to you. Land a headshot on them at the right moment, and their lifeless body will knee-slide right below you, then continue at a ludicrous speed. Careful positioning can result in dead Imperial Guards shot into space. Picture this: you're the Archmage strutting around the Arcane University with a scholar finishing their lecture to a bunch of student magisters. After quicksaving, you break out your lightning-powered Daedric bow & arrows, enchanted with an over-time effect for maximum pleasure. Take a shot at any of the students sitting down. They get up as normal, then drop dead after getting up, all accompanied by Wes Johnson saying "HELP! MURDER!" in a five/six-man unison so thick the voices go out of phase! Even better, target the benches. The magisters go flying in all directions while dying in mid-air! One even flies into the lecturer's podium! Ever find some poor sap all alone, sitting on a chair in the open? Just whip out a nicely-powered shock staff, hit the corner where the seat meets the backrest, and watch that sap slam into the skybox! By the divines, use that same arsenal against anyone that can succumb to it in one shot; you shoot, it hits, they fly, guaranteed to die/fall unconscious at the apex of ascent, and drop like the ragdolls they become! It's incredible! Chances are, much like Skyrim with Giants, the excess damage still needed to drop a target filters out as excess force to propel the target to such incredible heights. Have fun! There's also a high level telekinesis spell which requires a lot of points and you to be at 100 in Mysticism, but you can use it to lift everything within range twenty feet in the air, walk around with them in ragdoll despite being alive, then drop them for fall damage. Get a few guards chasing, and BOOM: instant sky party! It also affects followers though, so be careful! And God help you if you decide to decide to engage in a little home decorating. Trying to place a book on a shelf could result in everything else on that shelf ending up halfway across the room. It gets even worse if you have the Game Mod that makes most objects in the game use physics. If you dare to pick up a book from a bookshelf, expect it to collapse down on you within the next five seconds.

Wreaking Havok / int_549bc5da	comment	Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne Done early in the game when one of the first mooks you encounter runs into the room and past a freestanding shelf filled with little boxes and cans. Cue the gratuitous slo-mo shot of said mook being hit by your bullets, thrown back, colliding with the shelf, knocking it over, and collapsing on the floor in a shower of said boxes and cans. Also, ammunition, for some absurd reason buried under a chaotic mountain of Havok driven plastic chairs with a grenade positioned next to it. At a certain point in the game you come across several baddies who haven't noticed you. They are in a room with several gas cylinders nearby. Outside the room there is another gas cylinder, this one lying on the ground, with the gas nozzle pointing away from the doorway. You can just go in guns blazing and kill the mooks the good ol' way, but the awesome way to do it is to shoot at the cylinder's gas nozzle. The cylinder will then ignite, rocket inside the room, and blow up. What enemies aren't killed by that will be killed by the explosion of the other cylinders, ignited by the first one. This happens several times in the first game, as well. There's an out-of-the-way room in Mona's funhouse (the abandoned Address Unknown attraction) that is explicitly designed to allow the player to play around with the physics engine. It has no other purpose with relation to the rest of the game.

And if they happen to hit some enemies, you might find your suspension of disbelief slightly strained when you wind up killing them by accident.

Sledgehammers and explosives can punch holes in walls and floors, fires can spread and consume their surroundings, and entire buildings can be brought to the ground once they become structurally compromised, with every piece of debris being simulated server-side so that every player experiences it the same way.

Wreaking Havok / int_5908ee91	comment	Skyrim: A big part of the fun of the first dragon shout, Unrelenting Force (aka Fus Ro Dah), is to let it loose in a place filled with objects (such as a dinner table) and see where everything ends up after being blown across the room. This can also be done with impunity in Oblivion if you create a custom spell that has an area effect but no damage, such as Light. Skyrim also manages to reach such a level of detail that it ends up making its physics engine look bad. Most of this is due to the fact that said physics engine appears to have no support for friction, which is pretty important when fighting things on uneven terrain. For instance, killing something on a hill will result in the body unceremoniously sliding down the hill, as opposed to rolling down it. Extra momentum for defeated enemies also results from Surplus Damage Bonus; the more damage you do beyond an enemy's remaining health, the further they'll fly.

First, Dead Money gave us the gas bomb, a land mine thrown like a grenade that also can roll. Old World Blues has a Sonic Emitter sidegrade that hurls people backwards on a critical hit, which can make the grand canyon a tempting hunting ground. And the Gun Runners Arsenal adds timed explosives that ricochet off surfaces. That you shoot from a Fat Man launcher. Dead Money also gives us the complementary voucher bug, which gives you a potentially infinite number of floating little squares, which you can place anything one. You can literally build a house out of minigun ammo, guns, money or anything else with its aid. (though 5mm ammo is preferred by players)

Tabletop Simulator for example lets you play simple tabletop games like Chess and Poker by actually moving the pieces/cards yourself (as opposed to moving a piece and having it "stick" to a square, like games normally do), and you can just cause chaos by whacking other pieces every which way, or even flipping the table!

Shooting a wall at a shallow angle will make the bullet ricochet off while shooting it head-on make rifle bullets go clean through the wall and hit whoever is standing behind it, just like in the real world. In fact, every single weapon other than explosives and pistols are capable of over-penetrating whatever happens to be in the way: doors, fences, corpses... Speaking of which, it's not rare at all to see someone's ragdoll be knocked a few meters backwards by a kill shot from a rifle. And we haven't even mentioned the 100% destructible terrain: locked doors can be shot to pieces with just a lowly submachine gun instead of picking the lock and explosive Disaster Dominoes can demolish entire buildings (although you DO get a Nonstandard Game Over for excessively over-the-top collateral damage). Also, shooting through obstacles is an entirely valid strategy; the Sniper class even has an early perk that completely removes the advantage of cover for the target!

Wreaking Havok / int_6c1d09b3	comment	Fallout 3: A bit of this appears. One of the items you can build is the "Rock-It Launcher," a high-powered leaf-blower that shoots your accumulated inventory clutter as ammo. The ability to decapitate raiders with high-speed teddy bears is both hilarious and fun. The game also features an elaborate physics-based trap in a grocery store that involves explosives, a baseball launcher, a series of dominoes, and a swinging battering ram. It takes forever to run its course, and you know the instant you set it off that it's not going to turn out well, but the unpredictability of both Havok and the game itself means that there are plenty of opportunities for it to fail, even if it doesn't kill you in the process. The NPC with one of the best sniper rifles in the game likes to take potshots at people from the Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel's bell tower. Killing him may or may not cause him to fall down the hole in the floor to a location where you can loot the rifle, entirely depending on Havok's mood. Since the game treats gibs as lootable, the easiest way to get the rifle is therefore to launch a rocket in the bell tower window. With any luck, the NPC will be gibbed, virtually guaranteeing that of all the Havok-ed gibs at least one will fall through the hole.

It is deliriously entertaining. Justified in Saints Row IV. Since all of the Fraud missions are taking place within the Matrix, you're not just doing them to put the Havok engine through its paces out-of-universe, you're testing the in-simulation physics for bugs. Presumably the one where you can bounce 100 feet in the air and frisbee yourself halfway across Fake Steelport is one that wasn't caught in Zin playtesting because none of the Zin were stupid enough to try it.

Users of the game's numerous BFS's and other large weapons can leave an impressive trail of destruction in their wake without even trying. Demon's Souls Spiritual Successor, Dark Souls, has hints of this as well. Ragdolls can roll and wrap around your legs as you walk over them, pieces of smashed barrels, table and chairs go flying everywhere. Dark Souls' own sequel downplays this, in favor of a more realistic ragdoll system. That's to say that ragdolls are almost non-existant. And then Dark Souls spiritual successor Bloodborne brings them right back to their old Demon's-era level. Gets both impressive (passing very close to an NPC can let you see how their clothes flutter in your windshear) and silly (try walking into a corpse sometime, it'll wiggle all over the place like a scarecrow stuffed with jelly).

Wreaking Havok / int_970312db	comment	An early example exists in Jurassic Park: Trespasser, with the player character able to pick up objects and throw them or use them to hit dinosaurs over the head, and some primitive physics puzzles. The excellent Let's Play by Research Indicates explores how "well" this was actually implemented — notably, most of the puzzles consist of 'knock over single stack of crates' and friction is nonexistent. The way their system was set up, each interactive physics object was encased in an invisible box that would approximate the item's collision detection data, and when two items' respective boxes collided with one-another, they would start pushing each other away at the collision point until they were no longer colliding. Unfortunately, this made it extremely difficult to properly simulate any object that wasn't a box the size of one cubic metre, and stacking objects on top of one another was almost impossible, so the developers' ideas for item stacking puzzles went straight out of the window. A similar system was also used to procedurally animate the game's dinosaurs, with each of the dinosaurs' limbs acting as a separate physics object, avoiding a very canned/artificial look to the animation common to other games of the time,which sometimes resulted in velociraptors ending up with spring-loaded heads trapped inside their torsos in addition to walking like they had 200-proof alcohol for blood, and the physics processing for the dinosaurs took so much resources that they couldn't have more than seven dinosaurs per level.

Wreaking Havok / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls Oblivion brings the engine into the series and offers plenty of fun with it. To note: Oblivion slips into Wreaking Havok territory early in the game. Part of the tutorial, if you pick up the bow, asks you to shoot a target with an arrow. Had the target been anything but a hanging bucket, the incident probably would have passed unnoticed; since it is a hanging bucket, which jostles around amusingly on the end of its rope and hangs differently from the weight of the arrow stuck in it, it's obvious that Bethesda was using the opportunity to show off the physics engine. To Bethesda's credit, the game only prompts you to do this if you pick up the bow in the room, which is entirely optional. At other points in the game, the physics engine mostly leads to you knocking everything off the tables when you so much as walk slowly by them. An extremely hilarious one happens should you be able to kill a guard before it tries to arrest you: the guards constantly accelerate to ensure they will actually catch up to you. Land a headshot on them at the right moment, and their lifeless body will knee-slide right below you, then continue at a ludicrous speed. Careful positioning can result in dead Imperial Guards shot into space. Picture this: you're the Archmage strutting around the Arcane University with a scholar finishing their lecture to a bunch of student magisters. After quicksaving, you break out your lightning-powered Daedric bow & arrows, enchanted with an over-time effect for maximum pleasure. Take a shot at any of the students sitting down. They get up as normal, then drop dead after getting up, all accompanied by Wes Johnson saying "HELP! MURDER!" in a five/six-man unison so thick the voices go out of phase! Even better, target the benches. The magisters go flying in all directions while dying in mid-air! One even flies into the lecturer's podium! Ever find some poor sap all alone, sitting on a chair in the open? Just whip out a nicely-powered shock staff, hit the corner where the seat meets the backrest, and watch that sap slam into the skybox! By the divines, use that same arsenal against anyone that can succumb to it in one shot; you shoot, it hits, they fly, guaranteed to die/fall unconscious at the apex of ascent, and drop like the ragdolls they become! It's incredible! Chances are, much like Skyrim with Giants, the excess damage still needed to drop a target filters out as excess force to propel the target to such incredible heights. Have fun! There's also a high level telekinesis spell which requires a lot of points and you to be at 100 in Mysticism, but you can use it to lift everything within range twenty feet in the air, walk around with them in ragdoll despite being alive, then drop them for fall damage. Get a few guards chasing, and BOOM: instant sky party! It also affects followers though, so be careful! And God help you if you decide to decide to engage in a little home decorating. Trying to place a book on a shelf could result in everything else on that shelf ending up halfway across the room. It gets even worse if you have the Game Mod that makes most objects in the game use physics. If you dare to pick up a book from a bookshelf, expect it to collapse down on you within the next five seconds. Skyrim: A big part of the fun of the first dragon shout, Unrelenting Force (aka Fus Ro Dah), is to let it loose in a place filled with objects (such as a dinner table) and see where everything ends up after being blown across the room. This can also be done with impunity in Oblivion if you create a custom spell that has an area effect but no damage, such as Light. Skyrim also manages to reach such a level of detail that it ends up making its physics engine look bad. Most of this is due to the fact that said physics engine appears to have no support for friction, which is pretty important when fighting things on uneven terrain. For instance, killing something on a hill will result in the body unceremoniously sliding down the hill, as opposed to rolling down it. Extra momentum for defeated enemies also results from Surplus Damage Bonus; the more damage you do beyond an enemy's remaining health, the further they'll fly.

Wreaking Havok / int_9f743581	comment	Stair Dismount is one of the earliest examples, developed in 2002 with the goal of using the interactive physics engine to throw a ragdoll down some stairs and causing as much damage as possible. The sequel, Turbo Dismount takes this even further with the types of hazards you can place, the vehicles that Mr. Dismount and co. drives along with the ridiculous courses and traffic that can both destroy your vehicle but dismember the driver. You even get an achievement for completely obliterating (specifically, no limbs are connected to anything else on the former body) Mr. Dismount.

It could be used to provide limited cover in some levels, but the only time the creators used this deliberately was in the last level, with the piece of rubble that had to be pushed over a switch.

Crash Mode takes it a step farther, requiring that the player make clever use of crash physics to destroy a freeway full of vehicles. FlatOut ups the ante as almost anything breaks into pieces when crashed into them. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit would count since it's made by Criterion (they were behind Burnout as well): Sometimes during the crash scene, your car can be sent flying by another racer or cop as it careens into it.

And in one section of the Delta Labs, a lift can't be accessed because it's on the upper floor, and a box is blocking the door. You're meant to get there in another way and kick the box off, but if you throw a grenade up on the upper floor and manage to dislodge the box, you can use the lift earlynote although thanks to a locked door, it doesn't work as a Sequence Breaking shortcut. The Resurrection of Evil Expansion Pack introduces its own version of the gravity gun, the Grabber, and things get really interesting when you employ it. In an interview, it's revealed that they used the Grabber to create the damaged areas in Doom 3. You're armed with a developer weapon.

Kicking enemies into each other nets you a "Nice Aim!" bonus, downed enemies struck with a bo staff will sometimes launch hundreds of feet straight up into the air, and ragdolling yourself with the Leg Cannon attack and tumbling down hills never gets old. Overgrowth looks to continue the tradition, but with more complex ragdolls and objects. Amusingly, Lugaru's physics extends to activities that are impossible without cheating. If you cheat up Turner's strength to a hundred times its normal value, you'll find that enemies explode after they get Punched Across the Room and hit a wall.

Players have messed around with the vehicle creation system and physics engine to create everything from Humongous Bipedal Mecha, Transforming Humongous Bipedal Mecha, all matter of flying machines, and even a car that can drive on walls and the ceiling. Then there is the Kinetikos.H featured in Rooreeloo's Let's Play of the game, which runs specifically because of the Havok engine's screwy physics. The developers could have made a whole game out of exploiting Kazooie's magic-magnetic wrench. While you can't grab the object you're standing on for obvious reasons, the game won't stop you from grabbing whatever is under the object you're standing on, letting you bootstrap yourself to ridiculous heights, no vehicle necessary. You can even do this in the Hub Level where you normally can't bring your own vehicles, letting you nab top-level parts way before you're "supposed" to get them.

It's definitely in the game though, as the logo appears in the adventure mode's credits, and a few items (the wheeled crates and soccer balls in particular) seem designed specifically to show off the physics. It's possible they also used Havok to model the physics involved in tossing opponents into each other, although this feature was also present in Melee. There now seems to be a physics model present in the fourth game when you play either Trophy Rush or Target Blast in which blocks follow some form of physics, albeit in a two-dimensional plane.
