And there are those on the payroll......


I've had G3 (now 3.5) since it first came out, before photofields were even available. I owe a lot my ability to it; however, the state 3.5 was left in, physics-wise is joke.. KE should have at least done one more minor release before killing off all support. It's, IMO, almost completely worthless. If it weren't for the online multiplayer, I wouldn't even have it installed.. For a minor release or 2, the physics were pretty nice. From 3.5 on, they've been laughable at best.. I downloaded the Demo for v4 and felt the physics were a little better, but not enough to sway me to purchase it. 4/4.5 is not without it's issues as well.. Did KE ever get the multiplayer to work for more than 5 minutes a session?? I really wanted to get into the last offerings, but it just didn't do it for me.

With that said... I'm looking forward to trying out 5 and will absolutely buy it if it meets my expectations. I can't say my confidence level is very high at this point, though. Looks like they've focused all the dev effort into the 'game' side of it and not in the physics. Bummer.
