Game developers are blown away by Tears of the Kingdom

People my main point was the industry mainly cares about pushing graphics instead of physics. look we are still using physics from the havoc engine something that was made during ps2 generation.look at all the AAA games and most of the budget is clearly going into the graphics. you guys mention a few games out of hundreds that put graphics first. someone mentioned sports games, really? we are talking about game developers trying to push game physics to a new level like they been doing for graphics for decades.

You're getting in weirder and weirder tangents trying to defend your comments instead of just admitting errors. Yeah, people still use Havok engine, but you know people also still use Unreal Engine, that came out 1998. But thing is, both engines aren't the same as they were at the time they came out. They have been modified since and had a lot of releases.

LOL look how far unreal 5 has advanced compared to where games physics are today. watch the video and it clearly shows what i'm talking how the AAA industry has been stagnant   

Physics engines themselves (PhysX, Havok, etc.) aren't getting worse - its how games used them. Around 2011-2013, this sort of shift in mentality happened. Large developers started realising that physics don't sell as much as graphics do - you can't put interactivity on the box. So, its not that physics engines themselves (usually independent middleware from the engine itself) are getting worse, its that games just don't care anymore to use them to their full potential, because management doesn't understand the value of interactivity of an environment.
