Any chance of re-doing the animations?

[P.Mayne]

I been playing ROOST since it came out and I've finally joined the forums becuase I was playing the excellent snowy forest custom map and I kept seeing my teammates in the artillary blast pits firing at the enemy, ducking, popping up again to fire, ducking down for cover, rising up and firing and I thought, my god, how amazing would this look if the animations looked really realistic?

SO my question is, would you guys be willing to improve the animations for a more fluid and realistic look or maybe even hire a motion capture studio to get them perfect?

If anyone has seen the R6: Vegas E3 videos, you'll see what I mean about how life-like animations add to the experiance. They mo-capped your teammates entry animation and it looked bloody INCREDIBLE! I actually screamed out a sign of joy when I saw this.

I hope so!

Tend to agree here.

The animations DO add a lot to the atmosphere , much more so than intense graphics.

But if you think THESE are bad , you didn't see the mod did ya

Give 'em time though .. hopefully this is something on the table though I would imagine it would require a lot more than a simple patch..

I believe they said they might do it eventually, after all the major stuff is fixed and new content is added in.

But I agree, for me the animations are OK, they don't bother me anymore, but they could be redone/polished up a bit.

IMO, this is a low priority issue.

i was actually impressed with the animations in this game when i first played it, and am pretty much still.. what exactly do you think sucks with the current animations?
try watching people put on and off their bayonets, or the mg reloading, you see exactly what you see when you do this stuff, but then on another character, and i was like, wow, never seen that before. i love the leaning anims too, and the sprinting. allthough there might be a bit more crouched sprinting, i dont think there is much difference in doing that. maybe make crouched sprinting a bit lower, and add a chance of tripping and falling over ( this could be done i think, just make people prone when they do hasty turning around or something. crouched sprinting is intensive and youre balance is a bit off, at least with me )

The only problem with the animation's is the walking bit. It's to static and straight.

yea i never really said which ones in my other post, the walking animations

the first person and weapon reloading animations are all great, just the walking animations that are weird.

I believe its the only animation that looks out of place in an otherwise superb peice of work.
I personally would love to see it redone

Another problem is that the current engine doesn't allow smooth transitions between animations like, say, the source engine does. So it looks awkward because they instantly change position rather than smoothly going from standing to crouching and so on.

I thought RO was running in the same engine as Americas Army

 

[P.Mayne]

it runs on the same engine as americas army, brothers in arms, swat 4 and all the other shooters on the UT2/2.5 engine.

BiA had pretty decent animations and ROOST would be good to have them.

I diden't meant the reload animations... they are all incredible. I'm talking about the 3rd person animations.

 

[gonzman]

Quite alot of stuff about RO that could use a fix up gets denied by forum goers as an "engine limitation", this doesen't mean it's impossible to change.

YehYehYeh!!! i HATE the walking animation, not when we run, its all wonderful, but the walking animations is so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! terrible, You who made this animation, REDONE!!!, you have to redone it, its so ugly my God plz redone this, when they run its nice, but when they are just shoting without using the ironsights...TERRIBLE!!! PLZ Redone!!!!

 

[myzko]

Yes, but the animations actually show what you are doing, in other games like DoD:S it looks like you are shooting in IS even when you are in hipshot mode

Well, no. But it does mean it takes more time and effort than it's worth to change.

Personally these animations look okay, but I've not played a game with better ones, so I've no point of comparision.

 

[SiC-Disaster]

ok, so only the walking animations.. well, it looks ugly only ( and annoying) when they come spraying around a corner tha tjust annoys me to hell. mostly cuz they're praying and spraying though
