NaturalMotion's Euphoria

[@ElegeantFencer]

This was a huge part of what made Gta4 a special game. The unpredictable behaviors and physics of the NPC's and police made combat feel more dynamic amd thrilling. I remember knocking out an NPC, then the police start coming after me. While I was having a shootout with the police, the NPC i knocked unexpectedly got back up, limping in the middle of the battlefield to the police's side while screaming for help. It made the atmosphere and people feel much more real and alive.

[@TheyWantMeGone69]

That's another thing about GTA 4 that I like. You could actually knock people out without killing them. In GTA 5 you can kill a guy with a "knockout" punch. I'm not sure about RDR2 though. The euphoria in that game is much better though.

[@inny74]

NaturalMotion used to be known for their Euphoria physics engine. Now they are known for putting predatory microtransactions in their mobile games.

[@khaled-b.971]

Basically CSR2

[@joman66]

*sigh* MORE GAMES NEED THIS!

[@razarsenal180]

This physics engine, for me, is what made Grand Theft Auto IV so special, it truly represented the next step that the game took from its predecessors.

[@sean8102]

Crazy how this was so watered down in GTA V compared to IV that a lot of people seem to believe Rockstar just removed Euphoria from their engine (RAGE/Rockstar Advanced Game Engine). But it's implemented in their engines source code since IV. It was very watered down and simplified to reduce CPU load for the 360 and PS3 since GTA V released around the end of that gen of consoles. But there are several mods for the PC version that massively improve it and restore and even improve on things that were in IV but not V.

[@therealhard8times]

Best engine around I hope rockstar use this engine again nothings better then real time physics.

[@3rdStreetAVolitionite]

You know, if you've played the original GTA trilogy (GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas), you can understand why Rockstar adopted Euphoria for GTA IV and onwards in future titles. NPCs used to just pancake onto the ground, flinch/fall with a canned stumble animation; most notably if they were near a ledge and got shot, the scripting would make them look like they jumped off the ledge to their death after they were shot.

[@Franzibald_]

This looks exactly like the character physics in GTA IV, I still don't get how it got worse for GTA V.

[@mechnest8913]

Yeah it's almost like it is the same

[@Daniel-Kramer]

@@mechnest8913 they have to manually implement it on a game-by-game basis, so it's completely possible for it to be different. GTA V uses euphoria but rockstar toned it down a lot, so for the most part people still go limp unrealistically whenever they get shot or pushed

@artdragons No, this was only used in GTA IV, Star Wars: Force Unleashed, Red Dead Redemption, Backbreaker Football, and it will also be used in the new Max Payne 3.

[@baitposter]

Animation engine. The game engine used by Rockstar is called RAGE.

[@Junk_Yogurt]

It's absolutely staggering that more games don't use this. It's so far above any other physics engine (still after 10 years) that it's laughable.

[@theGreaterAwareness]

I love it when people use wording that is less effective at describing what is actually happening by the code. I guess that's the role of sales.

[@KingKombat95]

To everyone who said that this should replace Havok: don't be an idiot. Euphoria is NOT a physics engine, however it is a character animation engine that can be used in conjunction with a physics engine, which is why certain games can use BOTH. That's right, havok can be used alongside Euphoria. There's a game that does this specifically, though I forget the title.

[@gib501]

This still looks better than any game physics, we need this on this generation, not even Red Dead Redemption II interactions look this realistic

[@Daniel-Kramer]

RDR2 uses euphoria. rockstar is one of the few developers that usually uses it

[@thestickiestman]

@@Daniel-Kramer as a matter of fact, Rockstar is the only developer to use this that's outside NaturalMotion itself. But I've heard that the Euphoria Physics Engine is really complex and takes alot of time to be coded into the game. I believe that's why other developers choose alternatives like Havok or PhysX.

[@SaltHuman]

@@thestickiestman It's not a physics engine. It's more of an animation engine that also uses the default physics implementation on a game engine (in Rockstar's case, Bullet engine)

[@kidasterorig111]

This thing needs to be in a video like NOW!!!

[@TheEloquentEye]

ALL games, without exception should be using this technology. I cant play games that dont have dynamic character animation anymore, for me its a big a step as when GTA when from 2D to 3D.
