That sounds very very very very very very (etc.) Fun. VERY FUN! If i read correctly that means that the environment is flexible? as in .. if you somehow had an explosive, you could place that next to any wall of your chosing.. than it would blow up?

Cant wait

My question is: Are they going to release a new SDK?

The Havok Game Dynamics SDK includes a character kit that allows you to easily insert physical characters into your game. Humans and monsters can now react naturally in physical environments, saving artists from having to animate multiple different reactions.

Havok can be used with in-house graphics engines as well all third party graphics middleware solutions, including NDL Gamebryo, Renderware Graphics, the Unreal and Quake Engines.

Soooo, to use all the new physics u have to use thier sdk??
I don't get it!

If I understand properly, the havok engine (source code), will probably be integrated into the 3d engine already out on the market. Besides havok isnt anything new, there are other engines that do things like this.

On gamespy an AD (wow, Gamespy has pop-up ads?! hehe) about a new game 'soldnat' or something. It looks very well done and it looks like loads of fun! it said that anything and everything in multiplayer is destroyable. Perhaps the havok engine? Here is a link if you guys wanna check it out!

brings the player the most complex destruction system seen in a multiplayer game. What you see is what you can destroy ? even online.

The only thing i dont like about it so far, it looks 3rd person perspective

Soldner is terribly buggy.
