I thought you lot were discussing animation blending, where did the wierd animations part come from? And err, yes it does to what I've bolded, for any super hero character. I find it rather disingenuous that some of you just brush past all the gifs that show smooth animation blend-in and hold tight to the ones that you believe might showcase a problem.
W.I.P
You can feel a lot of things but that does not make it true. There's barely any teleportation in the Spider-Man combat presentation. I was playing Arkham City for the 4th time a few days ago, and your comparison doesn't make any sense. You're comparing apples to oranges.
This isn't a technical analysis thread but yeah go ahead and pick apart these animations right after you've come off from doing the same thing in the Days Gone thread. Talking about Eden here.
I'm not insinuating, I think Eden is clearly being disingenuous in his comparison. I might be wrong but that's what I believe at the moment.
Don't waste my time with your stupid conversation then
Who's stopping you two from conducting a discussion? You're in space where other people can and will interject with their opinions.
Yeah, IG should slow down that camera pan.
1) Spider-Man standing up after landing looks weird, it's a transition between the landing animation and his default standing pose, and all that falls under "weird animation." He's still human, which means no matter how spectacular his moves are, they're still subject to looking uncanny or odd.
In that portion of my post you quoted, I say that most of what has been shown looks incredibly good. Not saying how amazing it looks in every sentence doesn't equal "brushing past examples of good animation/animation blending." I'm referring to the gifs that show a really quick transitions between individual attacks and takedowns, and him swinging into a building before instantly running up the side.
You needing people to constantly reinforce that the game looks good smacks of fanboyism and insecurity.
2) a work in progress? No one's saying the footage is final. no one's refuting when the game is set to release. May as well shout down any and all discussion if that's a problem.
"Uh, what's the point is saying the webslinging looks great if it's coming out a year from now?"
3) people have been talking up the combat and stealth/predator gameplay as looking Arkham inspiredcomparison between the two is warranted. Arkham City counter animations, particularly those of Catwoman, blended together exceptionally well even during rapid series of counters. The "teleportation" issue is circumvented somewhat with Spider-Man canonically being able to flip across large distances quickly and having web zip line abilities, and is more jarring in the Arkham series than it is here, but in these fight gifs, I'm noticing an attack animation complete itself, then what looks like a jump cut to another attack animation against a single enemy. It could be that it feels better to lay than it looks, but it's still happening. The equivalent in the Arkham series (animation blending between distinct, basic attacks) has generally looked smoother. Not necessarily better overall, but aspects of what those games achieved are what I hope Insomniac can do with Spider-Man.
4) it's a thread about the new Spider-Man game. Discussing the animation is as valid as people nitpicking over the webslinging, or the voice acting or any other aspect of the game. That all is more valid than some "surely someone criticizing the game must have an agenda" idiocy. Can you not tell the difference between discussing a game and discussing another poster?
5) You suck at being able to tell is someone's arguing in good faith then. Even if Crossing Eden is pulling of some elaborate troll, everything (aside from responding to personal accusations) has been about the game, or comparisons to other games. Whether those are valid or appropriate are a relevant matter of opinionwhether a given poster who's posting stuff about he game itself is doing so with ulterior motives is an irrelevant matter of opinion.
6) The aforementioned "Sony hater witch hunt" is what's stupid, and you're willingly perpetuating it. Your opinion about that is both moronic and irrelevant to this game. Why shitpost and derail a thread about a game if you purport to care about it?
7) Some opinions are asinine and off-topic. I really try to avoid engaging moronic diatribes in threads, but your stupidity needs calling out.
Consider instead that no one is stopping you from ignoring on-topic posts or discussion if they don't interest you. No one is forcing you to show your ass about how paranoid you are when it comes to vg discussion.
