how realistic is BeamNG

me and my brother have this long standing argument between the next car game and beamng which is more collision realisitic, ive seen on the wiki page that the game is used to test stunts for films so i guess this game is realistic

 

Its the best and most realistic game i've ever played.

 

Well, that ain't a very clever aguement...

 

I don't even think they have a comparable damage model either.

 

Beamng is way more realistic without any doubt. Just look at the 2.
BUT!
If you compare mods (mostly russian ones) next car game would be closer.

 

When it comes to physics, BeamNG is extremely realistic, more so than Wreckfest (NCG). This can have some drawbacks, it requires a beefy computer and cars are delicate as in real life, so don't go in expecting arcade car handling, or super tough cars.

 

which is more realistic in deformation using the stock cars and is there such thing as hard body physics

 

my brother says next cargame is more realistic and i said its not

 

Why does he think next car game is more realistic?

 

Well, the graphics do look more realistic, and the particle effects are more convincing, but under that BeamNG is structurally more realistic.

 

True, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder what would happen if the best of both worlds came together though.....
That would truely be one eye pleasing game.
But then again....
Talk about giving a supercomputer a headache xD

 

Beamng is more realistic in every measurable way, but next car game tends to look better because it fakes wrinkled metal and bits of broken plastic/glass emanating from the crash.
