I know alot of games reuse animations for a plethora of reason...but what games have an insane amount of unique animation


What instantly comes to mind for me is Inside. This game seems to have unique animations for everything.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

RDR2, although some are reused alot. Superman 64 had some of the best unique animation of all time though.

 

[Husky]

I've never played Final Fantasy XV, but its animations always looked really great to me. Kind of the most enticing part of the game for me. Maybe I won't feel the same when I actually play it, but it's the first game that comes to mind. That PS4-exclusive FFXV teaser has great animations too.

I guess those animations aren't actually too far off from the stuff Team Ico does. So maybe now that I've realized that, I shouldn't post this.

It’s Red Dead Redemption 2, without question. It’s not even close.

 

[Lady Redfield]

I really like the animation in the Telltale games. I draw in my spare time and I’m a cartoon style gal, so, those games have always captured my eyes with their cool animation. Never dull. I think A Wolf Among Us has some of the best looking animation.

Inside is a great pick. I’d also like to throw Dead Cells in there. That game is so smooth and flows so well.

 

[KiteGr]

[UnNamed]

Cuphead is right at the top of the list.

Rayman Legends has a lot of personality, love and variety too.

 

[DGrayson]

SFIII

There's a Cuphead "Making of"/"Behind the Scenes" vid that shows some of the animation process, it's good stuff:

 

[Flabagast]

Inside is the right answer

 

[GymWolf]

Like someone already said, if we talk sheer number of unique animations, rdr2 is the winner until gta6 is gonna come out.

Cuphead has pretty incredible animations too for the bosses.

 

[Haggard]

Either LoU2 or RDR2 if we talk about sheer number of individual animations that are used to make transitions as smooth as possible.

 

[AV]

Noita, baby.

 

[SSfox]

Tekken franchise in general is the best in that area even tho it still has some reused old ones, RDR2 and tlou2 as well.

 

[ParaSeoul]

The less things on screen,the easier it is to give them unique animations

 

[ButchCat]

Little Nighmares

Contra Hard Corps

[amigastar]

Star Wars 1313 had amazing animations, too bad it wasn't realized.
