I don't know... the shirt wrinkles looks awesome (as they changed depending on the animation frame) but the transition still looks kind of weird. Anyway, it still awesome that they have that level of detail!
The arm has recoil from the gun he just shoot but I think there is something kind of robotic in that animation, even though the transitions looks smooth. The other arm waving does look cool indeed.
If I hadn't watch that GIF I wouldn't have picked up all those animation details. Interesting nonetheless!

They are also once again proving that they take waaaay to long to finish up a game.revolverjgw said:

I didn't even notice the wrinkles until you mentioned it and then looking at the gif....
. Wow.Video hyped me up beyond belief...now I don't want to touch Skyrim. Thanks Rockstar. =/
That and MP3 is now more of a Rockstar Studios game than just a Vancouver title since all the other studios from London to San Diego are helping develop this.

Holy hell, I haven't seen the shirt wrinkling effect in a ame ince Uncharted: Drake's Fortune(UC2 removed it). fuck yea!
It's a much slower looking game(than Max Payne 1 at least, haven't played Max Payne 2) Bound to happen since Rockstar's fetish with Euphoria is so pervasive, but I was prepared for that so I guess I'm not too disappointed.
It looks pretty damn good for what it is, though. Hopefully the PC port isn't ass.

They may have brought in other Rockstar studios to help finish the project, but Rockstar Vancouver is still the lead studio.

look amazing, now the only thing that can dampen my excitement a bit is resolution/ framerate, and whether this euphoria stuff affect the responsive control. I always feel like I have to fight the control a bit in Rockstar games.

Dennis!!!!!!!!! More gifs! Please.
Ok, I have had time to coalesce my thoughts:
Visuals and animation look superb. Bullet time looks great. Gameplay seems classic Max with a dash of new style and HD. The New York and Favela stuff both looks really impressive. Return of the kill cam is great. McCaffrey sounds awesome, what little we heard. But seriously, that animation... super impressive. The only other recent game that impressed me that much was Uncharted 3.
And the violence. I am liking the violence. We even have Max's silhouette and painkillers back in the lower right corner. Max changes his clothes a lot.

Animations are incredible.
I really hope they nail the feel of the first two games in gunfights.
That's the biggest concern. Rockstar's production values are always top notch, if they get the controls right, this game is going to be amazing

God I hope the production value is Uncharted 3 good. The PC platform needs more quality 3rd person gamer experiences.
RDR should have been on PC....grrr...

Doesn't RDR do something similar with it's single player combat?

Yeah, MP3 is shaping to be pretty awesome but on PC with RAGE being shitty as it is with GTA4 and what people are saying about LAN, I am not sold on the PC port unless it has a god-tier port team do it. I'm sure most of the performance issues with RAGE on PC are from the open-world thing which MP3 probably doesn't need to worry about but still concerned.WoodenLung said:

Just watched. This game is going to revolutionize third person shooters. Cinematically, gameplay-wise, you name it. Period.

what rockstar studio is making this again?
well I bet you almost anything that GTA5 footage was not coming out of a 360 or ps3.
Wii U or PC would have been my guess but it could have just been normal pre release smoke and mirrors.
still the fact GTA5 doesn't have any announced platforms is probably a sign its coming to ether Wii U or xbox 3. Maybe both.

Yeah, I think all R* games these days are multi-studio efforts in some way. You always see key people from the various studios showing up in the credits (like with Red Dead).
For instance, Dan Houser from R* North is the lead writer and Sam Houser will probably have a production credit.

bitch you just dont get what im putting down. its all good though son.
Gaogaogao said:
Depends on how good the animation system is. For example the details in regards to the enemy death animations or animations in general could put more pressure on future shooters to have animations as a higher priority than they are now. Also this could further tie into the AI compared to say Uncharted 3 where enemies are nowhear near as reactive to bullet damage as they should be.
