OMG Bugbear's 'Next Car Game' has the most incredible destruction ever!

Looks fantastic. I really hope they are able to develop this into a full featured game.
This is a wise suggestion.
Well, with my GTX 560 SLI, I could throw the house walls straight down constantly (they shatter into even more) for a looooong time. I was certainly impressed. Honestly, it's the best physics engine I think I've played with (in terms of quality/speed).

Well what thread are you in?
my bad!

I... I think you just sold me on this as soon as my new PC arrives, and I don't even care that much about racing games, usually.
Since the rest of the gifs are pretty big ~30MB I'll just link them.

Can't wait until there's more to this game. Some of these crashes kinda reminds me of that first Motorstorm trailer when the yellow car crashes at the end.
Its the name of the damn website and what was mentioned in the title of the thread, so yea, that was the impression I was under? Not sure whats so crazy about that.
Like I said, there's a game out there called 'Game Stock Car', so its not unheard of.
I just snapped this up myself. Looking forward to mucking around with the physics engine.
I hope nobody jumped on the DDE because it just dropped in price from $50 to $35 (which, incidentally, is just the push I needed).

So is this next car game gonna be a racer or a car combat game?
Both. Different modes.

It uses your cpu for physics and pretty much outright destroys the argument that physx is needed to do this type of stuff.

Physx is usually used for things like cloth, smoke, and other particle effects which would be somewhat different no?
PhysX also has a quite good general CPU physics system.

Does it? I remember reading an article a few years back where CPU-offloaded PhysX was purposely gimped by Nvidia. They were using a rather archaic coding methodology that caused it to run inefficiently on modern CPU's at the time, which is why performance would often tank when enabled without a Nvidia GPU.
Not sure if they remedied that over time though...
What's the most recent game that's close to Driveclub that enabled you to make that comparison?
They send it right now for early access.
They send you the code and you can play it. It's still in pre-alpha though.
EDIT: Beaten.
Thanks! Just purchased. Steam Early Access key received. So fast. So good.
Carmageddon Reincarnation supporting soft-body physics would be the most amazing thing.

No it's not really different. They all use pretty much the same basic system whether its just a particle cloud or cloth. This tech demo i was able to spawn way more physics based "particles" then physx did in borderlands 2, with the added benefit of not losing more fps to using the gpu for the physics.
No it doesn't. At all. Not even a little. Infact they purposely make it not multithreaded or playable without it being a stuttery mess.
I've just realised something. Unless the new Carma has similar car damage/destruction in it, I'm going to be at least a little disappointed.
That's a hell of a lot to live up to! But if any game can (and has to) do it, it's the new Carmageddon. How long until that bloody thing is out again? Edit: "Feb 2013" :/
Yeah, I said much the same thing in the Steam thread a little earlier. It'd be the perfect addition to a game such as Carmageddon.
I'm not sure on the date but a project update e-mail from last November mentions "Were getting closer to our Steam Early Access launch" so it can't be far off.

How much is it on steam in euro ?
Still OT, but if you look at the *very* end of the most recent Carma video (the suspension modelling one) we get a very brief glimpse of what sort of destruction we'll see. And even though it's obviously super early footage, it's promising
23 for the standard edition, 32 for the DDE.

Good to hear!
Its a separate download, you receive an email with a link for the tech demo and a steam key for early access.
It's a separate app ("Next Car Game Sneak Peak 2.0") but the download is only 96MB.
The tech demo is on Steam, too.

Anyone else unable to play the tech demo via steam? Says that the EXE is missing.

I had the same issue as well. Let's hope Bugbear catches on to that relatively quickly.
Edit - Speak of the devil, it's already getting updated on my end! That was fast!

Yeah, it would be a great idea for Sony to throw a bit of money their way and produce a downloadable DD instalment. The mini-games, physics and crashing were the best parts of FlatOut.
EDIT - does it not have a proper name yet?
From what I can tell, there hasn't been that many changes that I can see, but I'll sum up what I can:
* Engine upgrades (not visible)
* Different tyres (road, slick, dirt)
* Provisions for tuning, repair etc. (menu items are there, but cannot be clicked)
Don't think there were any new tracks.

Carmageddon on this engine would've been amazing, since cars being reduced to compact clumps of metal if abused long enough is reminiscent of the old games in that series.
