I’m playing control for the first time - and even the last generation version the physics and destruction are leaps and bounds ahead of almost every game sans the ones that very specifically deal with destruction and voxels and stuff - here the physics didn’t even need to be this good but they are. Why aren’t more developers incorporating this level of simulation in other games?

Because Remedy are fucking legends.

The game looks rather basic outside of it, so I’d say that’s a big reason why

it’s just what they specifically focused on

Aye i am about 5 hours in.. and it looks kinda copy paste so far

Because they care more about making a realistic dynamic world than hair textures, mo-cap, quicktime events, and pretty cutscenes.

will give it a go later on ps5

Well we've just begun another gen, so I assume developers will make use of the faster hardware to incorporate more accurate physics in their games

Last gen consoles had very weak APUs, just check Just Cause 3 performance's tank when there's a lot of destruction going on.

Also, there are games in which making it too dependent on physics can cause hard to solve bugs to appear. In Zelda BoTW's GDC video they explain they use physics but in a controlled way, so things don't get out of hand.

I mean it looks pretty good outside of just the physics - like if you took away the physics it’d still look pretty good

I agree.
