Games with the best ragdoll.

Half Life 2, hands down.

 

[BobTheCool]

Half-Life 2 or GTA IV. isnt GTA IV based on one of the same engines that powers SW:FU?
oo! and crysis. that game has great ragdoll.

 

[brenflood]

Probably not the best, but I think the most entertaining ragdoll physics can be found in Bloodrayne 2.

 

[StonedMonkay]

GTA IV

and Crysis, God...throwing an enemy in strength mode straight into the wall of a building & to have the building collapse ontop of him is priceless

Walking home drunk in GTA4. It's just hilarious. I remember falling over after taking a corner and Roman stumbled over me and cracked his head on the pavement. It was a thing of beauty.

I Think the GTA IV engine is called RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, I think)

 

[Aries_Split]

Killzone had a very nice ragdoll engine if I remember correctly.

Yes, that's hilarious. What would be funny as if the cops actually pulled you over for drink-driving. Awesome fun that game.

Totally! Watching the person you've taken out for drinks face-plant never gets old in that game.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 with extreme ragdoll on.

 

[Pingrash]

Ragdoll Kung Foo- it's all ragdoll and it's really fun

But the physics are powered by Euphoria.

Wrong. The charactors behavior, and ragdolls are powered by euphoria. The physics are probably powered by havok, but thats a guess.

F.E.A.R. has the best Ragdoll physics, seriously nothing can top it. ESPECIALLY when it glitches out. I had a folder full of screenshots before.

-and about NaturalMotion Euphoria, It's really cool, and it's a huge step forward in gaming...but damnit now that things are realistic it isn't even half as funny as it use to be >_<

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

You want to see funny, occasionally the physics in Perfect Dark Zero screw up and the body of an enemy is given zero weight. Watch as they tumble through the air like paper in the wind. I shot a guy to death on my screen and he launched up into the air and floated off around the corner. A minute later his silouhette appeared on my brothers screen, hovering above him.

I liked Max Payne 2's ragdolls. Though it was more of a cinematic than realistic.

GTA IV

and Crysis, God...throwing an enemy in strength mode straight into the wall of a building & to have the building collapse ontop of him is priceless

Shame about Germany's laws limiting the ragdoll physics though.

EDIT: Oops.

 

[GothmogII]

TF2. The death cam is just ;_; Frozen in your final moments, I've almost choked with laughter at some of the positions the ragdolls end up in when you die in that game. And not entirely related, but the facial expressions help alot. xD

 

[SenseOfTumour]

I aint sure they're the 'best' technically, but the most enjoyable ragdoll effects I've played were in Painkiller (staking people to walls, or yanking them from high buildings to their doom) and Postal 2, just for the over the top murderfest.

 

[hamster mk 4]

First game and probably the best game I ever played with ragdoll physics is Porrasturvat - Stair Dismount
