This video demonstrates a physical motion simulation program developed by the start-up company Lagoa Technologies. It shows columns of dirt smashing into the ground and scattering, as well as other effects that could make future video games even more awesome.

    This means another serious computer upgrade in the next couple years.

    The game where players drop rabbits made of jelly is my very favorite game.

    The detail of gore in games is about to get even better. Zombie games with the flesh being ripped from the body. Explosions shredding limbs from the body and the most awesome headshots ever put into a game.

    The bunnies looked like mashed together fat dropped. It actually made me a little sick.

    Keep in mind this is running inside pro 3D animation software and is not targeted at real time apps like games. Most of this is not happening in realtime. These are incredibly complex simulations.

    Don’t get me wrong…super cool and gorgeous, but this kind of stuff happening in your PS7 is many years away.
