Our vision was to create action on a scale that was unlike anything that has come before. With Havok's proven technology, our development team in Japan was able to create the exciting and dynamic world in VANQUISH. Using Havok [Physics and Havok Animation] we were able to scale the interaction up to unprecedented levels and push gaming consoles right to their limits.

We needed an art tool that allows our artists to quickly generate and visualize high quality cloth assets to enrich the Xbox 360™ and PLAYSTATION®3 environmental and character experiences. We have used Havok’s software products in several of our Triple-A titles and Havok Cloth was the clear choice.

The modular design of Havok Cloth enabled us to get the technology successfully integrated quickly and easily. Havok’s technical support was excellent, and the highly intuitive and powerful art tools allow artists to quickly generate and visualize high quality cloth assets. Our overall experience with Havok Cloth on UFC 2009 Undisputed has been very positive so we intend to use Havok Cloth even more extensively in THQ’s upcoming fighting titles.

DICE has a long standing partnership with Havok and we have extensively used Havok Physics on a wide range of titles and prototypes during that time. We have now made the decision to use Havok Destruction technology in Battlefield 3. DICE has been impressed by Havok’s suite of cross platform tools for the simulation of rigid body destruction. We have found that Havok Destruction gives our Art team total control over the simulation, drastically reducing production time and the cost of creating large numbers of interactive destructible objects.

Havok's flexibility and ease of use have made it one of our cornerstone development tools and almost a recognizable 'character' within the Halo 3 engine. Its elegance and scalability mean that it adds features and value to our engine, and yet integrates seamlessly without impacting performance.

Before using Havok, we wrote, scrapped and rewrote our physics system at least 3 times. Havok was easy to integrate into our engine and pipeline and is more powerful, flexible and efficient than any of our attempts had been. We have no future plans to do a project without Havok. Havok allowed us to stop spending time on core physics and concentrate on taking the physics and making it fun.

[Havok Script] solves many of the pain points with Lua (memory, performance, GC, debugging, profiling, etc) and allows us to maximize the benefits of implementing a scripting solution.

Scripting is a vital tool, massively reducing iteration time. [Havok Script] enables this with the best performance we’ve seen to date.

Since we started using Havok Physics, their support has been very well organized and professional and they have helped the Remedy team a lot during the physics engine integration. We have achieved a high degree of customization in a short time-frame while implementing widespread collision detection and character controllers for the game. We are very happy with the performance, too, and the integration of new features is generally easy. We are confident that Havok will save us lots of time and money further down the road. So far we are only scratching its very surface.

Havok is a professional organization from its engineering and support to sales and contracts. We’ve always appreciated Havok's willingness to listen and work with us on serious and sophisticated commercial and technical issues. Havok goes the extra mile to understand the complexities of our business and the challenges development teams face.

Havok has long been considered the premier physics engine in the AAA games space. We are delighted that Havok has listened to the needs of the game development community and designed a solution that allows the “budget conscious” developer to take advantage of their products as well. Havok is not only the best technical solution, but also a great business partner. We look forward to creating many wonderful games with help from Havok.

Dynamic simulation is becoming an increasingly important part of our production pipeline, with directors and audiences demanding greater realism and more complex interaction. We have chosen Havok as the basis for our in-house physics system. Havok's collision system is extremely fast and stable, allowing us to simulate large numbers of objects with relative ease, making it possible to achieve results that would have been nearly impossible without it.

Alan Wake is a new experience in gaming, merging realistic animation with interactive game play on a scale not seen before. Havok Physics was deeply integrated into our tool chain and in-house engine to maximize its full potential. By harnessing the full power of the Xbox 360 hardware, our engine and Havok’s solution allows us to deliver fully on our ambition for Alan Wake. We’re confident gamers will be enthralled as they unlock the mysteries of Bright Falls and explore Alan Wake’s intriguing surroundings.
