wow people are knocking the game over a throwaway animation :\

An animation as front and center as that seems like something you'd want to fix and not be a throwaway. It looks like something you might do a decent amount of times, not a few times in the whole game.

 

[Fox318]

Wow. This is hilarious.

 

[bndadm]

This thumb's up thing....

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

 

[Tashi]

Oh man that was great.

I really hope he gets an early copy of Halo 4.

 

[spootime]

So uh... anyone recognize that intro music?? no?

 

[Paranerd]

Oh man that was great.

I really hope he gets an early copy of Halo 4.

He did a bit on Halo 4 months ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

The Resident Evil 6 review is one of his best reviews for the thumbs up exchange alone.

 

[bomma_man]

contrast that animation with rifle reload from RE4

can't brute force talent

 

[Dark Octave]

lol Is that arm animation really in the game?

 

[The Xtortionist]

OK.

 

[Holy Wars]

OK.

Resident Evil 6 |OT| Tearing up my heart

 

[Aaron]

Damn, I was not prepared for how funny that actually was.

 

[NullPointer]

Oh man that was great.

I really hope he gets an early copy of Halo 4.

On one hand, oh God no. Please don't. Because I'll never be able to look at the game the same way again after Conan's through with it.

On the other hand, if they film a segment in the serious style of the 'making of' vidocs we've seen so far it could be hilarious.

 

[iAmMaximus]

That was too good. Conan needs to be a full-time reviewer, srs.

 

[def sim]

Conan did some voice work for Halo 4, so it's more than likely he'll get a copy.

 

[AlexBasch]

Were those gestures in the demo? I don't recall ever using them at all.

What was wrong with just nodding and saying "thank you" to the partner? Oh well.

 

[Raxus]

Resident Evil 6 |OT| Tearing up my heart

Resident Evil 6 |OT| Good Work!

 

[Revolutionary]

I'm glad someone found the thumbs up as amusing as I did in the demo. Then again, I was pretty baked when I discovered it

 

[Colocho]

How come it looks (a lot) worse than RE5? not only that, but it looks as generic as they come, at least RE5 had some of that RE4 feel. this looks like a random shooter with zombies thrown in the mix. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[rekameohs]

OK.

Oh boy.

 

[Snapshot King]

Conan certainly wasn't the first to find out about these animations.

[RadioactiveLobster]

The Conan scoring system needs to be adopted by all game reviewers.

 

[ErikB]

Is it worth mentioning that you can do the praise/thank/whatever animations while moving, which is probably why only the arm moves?

It looks a lot less odd if you do it while running along.

 

[Branduil]

I can't get over that animation. It looks like an action figure where you press a button on the back to make the arm move.

 

[Dennis]

Wait, wait, wait. That thumbs up animation is a real thing in the game?!

I thought it was created as a joke for this review!


Look at the guys face when he sees the thumbs up, it's like he knows it looks like garbage.

lmao yes look at his smile

 

[Emwitus]

So that's how archaic gameplay looks like in 2012. Wowzers.

 

[cj_iwakura]

The reviewer the game industry needs. God I hate the co-op direction this is taking.

 

[civilstrife]

These are better than game journo reviews.

 

[Ridley327]

OK.

You know that one girl from high school that you had a crush on, and then 10 years later, you find out that she became a leper?

This is that feeling.

 

[Sojgat]

Funny stuff, but the tearing is still awful.

 

[kuroshiki]

OMG THAT WAS HILARIOUS.
That thumbs up movement is going to be in videogame history.

and THAT screen tearing. If I ever get it def getting PC version.

 

[Oersted]

we need more "non-gamer" reviewers. they see the typical game flaws, that normal game-reviewers not seiing anymore. and when they are so hilarious as conan, its just completly win.

 

[leatherhat]

What the fuck happened to this game? Did they give it to a B- Team or something?

 

[burgerdog]

Extremely weird video. The first section has the area from the DD demo and it's a tearfest. The new gameplay sections are tear free, odd. We'll see what's up on Tuesday.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

wtf the game looks terribad. This is coming to PC, right? Might wait and see what some mods can do for the game.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Conan certainly wasn't the first to find out about these animations.

[lexi]

Er, as pointed out in this thread, RE4 animation puts that thumbs up to shame... wtf? Is this the same developer?

 

[MisterLuffy]

lmao

Curses! You win this time Golem!

 

[Criminal Upper]

I can't believe that thumbs-up animation is final.

 

[Chun-Li On A Bike]

resident evil hasnt been that good since 2, if they can ever go back to what makes RE good... someone can let me know

 

[SteeloDMZ]

First time I've seen that animation. Hilarious how bad it is.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Yeah, everyone hated 4.

 

[AuthenticM]

I think I'm the only guy on the planet who cannot see screen tearing. Ever. I've never noticed it in games in which people complain about it.

You CANT see it? Or don't notice it?

 

[ErikB]

I don't suppose someone wants to make a gif showing a character doing the thumb thing while walking and running do they?

 

[Lucent]

First time I've seen that animation. Hilarious how bad it is.

That was mo-capped by someone with a jerky arm. =D

But, seriously, I'm looking forward to this game despite that. The game looks great to me on the PS3 demo I've been playing. I think people need to stop saying it looks crap graphically when they're watching youtube videos and stuff. That and/or coming from a PC background. You really can't compare game consoles, which all have the same components, to PCs, which can be as powerful as you want, provided you have the money to blow.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I also should mention this demo isn't a recent build of the game. The demo coming out on the 18th and the demo being played here is the Comic-Con demo, which is several months old.

Resident Evil 6 has four demo builds to my knowledge. The first is the E3 demo, or the demo that people got with Dragon's Dogma. Next is the Comic-Con demo, which is the public demo coming September 18th. A further along demo was sent to press a few months ago that was a newer build of the game. And recently the first two chapters for each campaign outside of Ada's was given to press, though the build of the game was a bit older.

To place the demos in terms of development placement and improvements, the E3 demo is the oldest, followed by the Comic-Con Demo, followed by the recent 6-chapter demo given to press, with the most recent being the 'prelude' demo handed out two or so months ago.

However, the demo builds don't matter much now as review copies have been being sent out to publications already. But the screen-tearing present here is from an older build.

A slightly newer build (the 6-chapter one) has various videos on Youtube, but is like this:

Yes... the solution is to find reviewers who understand games even less than current ones.
