You gotta hand it to those Dead Island zombies… they’re persistent! Even when a conveniently placed floatation device has created an impenertable wall between them and your delicious, tasty brains!

Fuck the zombies, that furniture is terrifying. I mean, look at it...its just sitting there, waiting, watching us, preparing for when we let our guard down...and there's nothing we can do, because none of the devs apparently finished learning how to implement physics in a computer game. Come on guys, I know that class was boring, but seriously? This is so sad.

Once a physics engine has been applied to a Gaming Engine, it's child's play to implement the interactions between solid objects and the environment.

Unfortunately there's like 3 physics engines that get used out of a plethora of possible choices and all of them suck.

We've got Havok (master of complete yet inconvenient implementation of gravity, buoyancy, and stress. Shitty rag dolls and dumb hijinks abound.)

We've also got PhysX (Master of hyper-realistic physical interactions and frying your cheap piece of junk you call a computer.)

We've also got Cry-Engine (It's mediocre at everything but doesn't suck).

Havok does almost everything for you, so you can tell the designers weren't very good it they used it (unless they're valve, they make it work). All you have to do is make a second bounding box that mimics the rough shape of the mesh and then assign it to Havok. If it's an NPC that gets ragdoll physics you only have to rig the bounding box to the original skeleton.

Aside from having touched a couple of games that used PhysX, I know next to nothing about developing with it because I've never personally worked with it.

Cry-Engine is very cut and dried in development, but it's repetitive. Most developers will cut down on the number of object that follow the physics or take shortcuts to minimize the work. I could read all the volumes of "The Fall of Rome" TWICE in the time it takes to get a working alpha out of Cry-Engine if they didn't take shortcuts. Basically between retex jobs and cutting down on viable interactions, 80% of the potential of cry-engine is wasted to produce a single game.

To summarize:
Havok takes and extra 2 minutes per model to implement physics (for a novice, if you're really good with your modeling software you can cut this down to 30 seconds) and only the baseline of intellect it requires to use modeling software.

Don't know anything about working in PhysX but I hear it's really intuitive (but then again I could be being tricked into a bureaucratic hell of no return).

Cry-Engine has some really boring implementation, but really all you're doing is filling out values. I can cook dinner in the time it takes me to get one object done right (again, developers take lots of shortcuts).
