1. You don't have to major in physics to have an understanding of tyre deformation, this isn't rocket science after all ;) 2. IF you were unfortunate enough to be in a real life roll-over i doubt you would be able to recall exactly what happened to your car. A much better way to see a real roll-over is by watching a rally or nascar roll-over, of which there are COUNTLESS video's on youtube. |
You, sir, fail at pointing out my fail for two reasons:
1. I never commented on the realism or lack thereof of the physics being shown, therefore I did not insinuate that I was a physics major (which I am not by the way. That is why I never commented on the physics and made this redundant bracketry; just to be clear). I simply stated that there must be some physics majors on here to be able to determine correct and incorrect physics based on a purely visual medium. Actually, given some of the replies, I am convinced that Stephen Hawking posts on here under numerous alt accounts just to argue for and against Forza physics all at the same time. He is smart enough to do that.
2. While you are correct that I cannot say I would recall everything happening during a roll over accident (you can extrapolate whether I have or have not had an experience with a roll over accident), you are incorrect in assuming that every rollover is the same and that you can determine the physics (literally a super computer's worth of math) of a rollover accident by watching clips of accidents on youtube.
That being said, to me, in my limited knowledge of physics, Forza has represented physics very well. Or at least the look of a physical action. Of course we all know that VG physics are very generalized, but they can be good enough to be an accurate representation of an average physical action based on a set of mathematical perameters.
