Soft-body vehicle physics

I'm still waiting for the day where I can play any driving/racing sim and feel like I actually just wrecked a real car by driving into a post 😛

But that video makes me think the day is soon approaching, can't wait!
 
First 13 seconds of the video, typical Chevy bed wobble =P

Seriously though, some really good physics in that video, looks like it'll be great tech for racing games.
 
Very nice, I would totally buy a Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8-style game with vehicle physics like that. Mmmm... yeah, why not, CryEngine 3-powered car combat games... and Carmageddon 4 too. That, or just give me some multi-million dollars sports cars to wreck to smithereens and I'll be happy.
 
Yay. Now red barrels can explode more realistically in another generation of cheap shallow military themed shooters.

yea, we're due for a twisted metal game.
 
This has always been the turn off for me in any game that has driving involved.

It seems this would still have an issue with properly simulating a head on crash with a heavier/static object... ie the vehicle disintegrating like it should... the engine block bouncing down the road...
