Fault Line II vidya

The animations look so damn natural. Nice.

They’re using the technology from EA Sports games for animation, it looks awesome. Bad Company 2 has some of the best animations I’ve seen, as well.

I like the look of the animation, but I wonder how much of that was manually animated or motion-captured.

I also like how the missions they’ve shown will be played out exactly the same way every time you play them.

The suppression effect seems to be a bit overdone tbh, it’s like he was actually getting hit.

^
yeah. It’s not like those effects are gonna keep me from running out in the open if I have to. Suppressing fire just doesn’t work in a video game that can’t actually hurt you. I’d rather they ditch the effect or use it for a pain effect instead.

I’m more interested in the blending and procedural stuff than how the animations were made :stuck_out_tongue: That being said, most of this looks mocap.

I just wish they’d focus more on facial movements. That’s most of the life right there. I mean the human face never stays still. There’s always an involuntary jaw clench or a twitching nostril or all that shit. I wish games would start paying attention to those aspects.

The problem is that is a feature that a lot of gamers won’t notice. The benefit over cost isn’t really worth it to them.

Argh, just played a horrible game of Bad Company 2 that reminded me why to hate the series.

Basically consisted of me covering an enemy tank with 6 to 8 tracer darts (as he removed them at the tap of a button), and only ever managing to get about 1 to 2 shots on him (which he repaired), even given the chance to stand out in the open facing him without getting immediately shot.

The worst games are conquest where you’re getting baseraped, and rush when you’re attacker and your entire team snipes. Other then that, BC2 doesn’t really make me rage at all. If your team wasn’t retarded, Katana, the tank would’ve probably been destroyed. Try to play with friends on ventrilo, or make friends in game and play on ventrilo with them, really makes the game a lot better, and when you’re organized, you dominate.

Holy shit that was beautiful at the end when he shot the building, just wish they showed the whole sequence. Oh well, I guess we have to wait until the 30th for that.

New trailer

Full 12 minute reveal on April 17th.

:awesome:

yet another war game, boooooring. Why should this be any different than Cod or any other “run behind some other soldiers and follow orders or get stuck in front of an invisible wall” game?

because you can demolish those invisible walls

No

Apparently the SP will last 12 hours.

Anyway, I hope the SP is good but honestly BF3 is all about the MP and that’s where all the best efforts should be going to.

Fuck off, this is Battlefield 3 we’re talking about here.

And DICE in general are awesome at making games, imo.

The new full 12 minute trailer. I noticed he mounted the LMG at one point and it increased accuracy, reminds me of DoD. Anything else we see?
