Artificial Intelligence Uses Videogame Footage to Recreate Game Engine
This is reminiscent of the Tribes 2 development, when the developers revealed they lost the original Tribes source code, and thus the physics calculations.<p>Beta testers constantly complained that falling didn't feel right, jetting and skiing (the game's main movement) was slow and soupy. Players were leaking videos and photos showing the differences in motion.<p>At one point, Dynamix hired a top player to playtest, as he "remembered the best" how it felt. All to reclaim the physics calculations of some game from the Leisure Suit Larry company.
