The Science of Off-Roading: Uncharted 4's 4x4 

IKR I am like bruh seriously?

OMG... That's Embarrassing.

He heard 'rigidbody' and associated that with having seen a 'rigidbody' in Unity once... XD

lmfaoo bro that’s an insane thing to say

Yeah! I'm loving this, would like many more talks like this!

Yeah dude he thought uncharted was made on unity xD

😂

pounds-feet i'm assuming, and because they're american lol

Torque can be measured in both lb-ft and nm, you just have to convert from one to the other inside the code, so since physics engines use the metric system (Newton's), they'd need to put a converter at the end of their code (torque in lb-ft = torque in NM * 1.36)

Its not, they just have really high standards

@@Freak_Gamer Kind of a moot point isn't it? Everything is simple in game dev if you don't put any effort in making it feel right and leave out the bug fixing.

@@Ayoul I was just saying that theres no need for such high detail; that does not mean it has to give shit results though, look at HL2, its cars are really simple yet nobody has ever complained.

@@Freak_Gamer Completely disagree. I wouldn't generalize that nobody has ever complained. The vehicle controls in HL2 are not the best, but they serve their purpose. They are also a product of their time. You're comparing games 12 years apart with very different designs and POV's. Obviously expectations are going to be different. I would also argue that they do need such detail. It makes their games consistently high quality throughout, it means they get better reviews (just look at how the batmobile in Arkham Knight was divisive), etc.

@@Freak_Gamer have you seen the code used to create vehicles in hl2 to conclude that they're simple?

Be damn these penetrations ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"Rigid body" is a term used in most physics engines. Even Blender uses this terminology.

I died lol.

such a dumb question

I did... Doesn't mean I can implement it in my own stuff...

Yeah it was very specific to their problems and workflow. Still inspiring! which is, i think what matters most for many here. :) (What's better ENTERTAINMENT, than educational entertainment? :D )

@@lolindirlink I was just saying that I'm not talented enough to rig things up like this. Technically everything described in the video can be implemented by anyone. If you want speed and fluidity the setup described will work for you. GDC is all about game developers sharing their knowledge.

Come on, guys. Normal forces, rigid body simulation, rotational torque, ray casting...it's like riding a bike.

Eks dee

Se eles deixassem o público contribuir eu já tinha legendado algumas

Aprenda inglês.

When you got hit by 5 bullets and still survive it broke your immersion too? Since the guns were so real, or when Nathan killed 100 goons but decided to save Nadine? I liked the vehicle mechanics, feels really good, and you almost never feel that invisible force because of good (and obviously linear) level design

@@dynamitemonkey-zj6pt That's different. When you're in danger and you don't die, you thank the gods you're still alive and not have to restart the whole level. But when the vehicle you're driving is magnetized by an invisible force, it's... the designer's hand is painfully obvious. And that's not the ONLY place they used that magnetization. There are jumps that should not be possible, during set pieces where cliffs start to fall. Your character suddenly makes a larger leap than physics ever allowed up until that point. Tomb Raider (2013 reboot) does that, too. They could have hid that better, with a closer camera angle or something. Same with the vehicle flipping over, they could have stepped out, an animation where they pushed it (same animation when pushing crates or balls, whatever) and faded out a black screen soon after. At least that would have "grounded" them better. Instead of having wonky "up-right" physics like that. If the story took place in a magical realm where they had magic abilities, that magnetization would have made sense (with some sparkly particles around the car).

This is one of the best GDC talks I've ever seen, he gave a good description of how they made it and the process and decisions they made to get there. Being a little nervous about speaking in front of a crowd of people doesn't make the talk bad

Could've prepared more but nerves are a bitch and this fella was probably not crazy thrilled at the idea of huge public speaking exposure at first. :) Really good talk though, not too detailed, not too hand-wavy.

why don't you do it better and let us see? Ah you aren't the one working for naughty dog.. just a random person in youtube
