Traded BL3 and RE 2 towards a preorder of it. I'm pretty confident it will be good after these impressions.

There's a day one patch...
And the game went gold weeks ago
Also they did say they prioritize responsive controls over animations which is why the animations aren't that crisp.
I hope they can find fun ways of combining the platforming stuff with combat. Sekiro had some surprisingly excellent combat setpieces taking advantage of the traversal mechanics. Storming the Gun Fort was insane.
Base PS4 if I'm not mistaken.
Yea, these stuff aren't anything big that can't be fixed with some patches.
What has me a bit worried is the fact that even when animations do work as intended, seems like there isn't a good flow to Cal going back to his default stance. Like the gif that was posted above from EA's official twitter account, Cal snaps back to his default stance after finishing his attacks in a sudden and jarring way.
Compare that to a game like Sekiro where every animation flows almost flawlessly together and you'll see how jarring Jedi's sudden transition between animations are in some cases.
Yeah, the Gun Fort was crazy.
I liked how Sekiro's environments were populated. You could grapple all over the place and avoid battles, but if you wanted a fight, you could usually find one within 30 seconds. I'm just now realizing how well Sekiro's levels were tailored to the gameplay mechanics.
All of that is noticeable for sure. I feel spoiled by the likes of Sekiro and Automata.
Apparently so. :(
True. And hell, even if you're intentionally avoiding fights, you'll likely run into a boss or miniboss that will lock you into a fight in 30 seconds.
Why are you using this as a sign of a bug? They didn't even attempt to wallrun.
That one is more about how the proportion for his body looks weird in his kid/young model. (his arms/hands in particular)
I swear that if some games aren't perfect for some people, it's instantly awful. I remember the complaints that reviewers didn't use the full range between 0 to 10, but the sentiment here also feels like it should be perfect or nothing. Maybe a game can still be good? Great? Maybe there are flaws, or more focus and development on some areas than others?
I don't know, I'm just gonna enjoy it on Friday.

That third gif is from this game? I was staring at it for the longest time. It looks like a ps2 game
I don't think anyone here said that it's awful or that it won't be good.
Yeah he is being hyperbolic, but the quote was making it seem like everyone in here was shitting on it
Those two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive tho. You can have flowed animations and responsive controls at the same time.
I think Respawn could've gotten there if they had a bit more time tbh.
He was exaggerating. Some glitches can happen on rocky terrain which is pretty normal for most AAA games. The animations during the child section are really rough thogh. People are allowed to call that out.
Yea. Thats true, but I don't think the animations will be a big deal for most if the gameplay feels amazing
Oh that's true for sure. Original DMC4 had the same problem of characters snapping into default stance and it still felt great to play. It's just that visually it can be a bit jarring overtime.
I'm talking about multiple days, in multiple threads. When I say "here," I'm referring to the whole forum, not just this thread. And not just this game (it happens with others as well). Sorry for the confusion.
Was just agreeing with you, but the guy was right in one way.
The character models really look hideous in this game.
It's no Death Stranding, that's for sure!
I must admit, combined with the resolution and the size of the gif I also thought it was a ps2 game. I initially thought it was an older star wars game that was used as a comparison to the other 3 gifs
You just compared a way less compressed image of a CG model with an incredibly low res screenshot of a realtime model.The character models really look hideous in this game.
No need to look that far. :p *
K.
There isn't a single instance of her looking good in Fallen Order. There are multiple instances of her looking good in Wolfenstein. And of course she looks great in real life.
Tbf, DMCV doesn't have as much going in terms of world or lvl design as Fallen Order. Ofc one's an action adventure. One's a character action so their focuses are different
Loll! I legit thought it was that Disney game..infinity I think?
Anyways it's too late, my pre order is locked in. (I never pre-order normally, but happened to trade in some stuff)
In the game's defense, the 3rd gif is from "tutorial flashbacks" where he's like a kid, they clearly did not spend much time on these segments. (probably just copy pasted the adult mocap on it which is why it looks jank)
His adult state is mostly fine from what I saw. Just snapping a bit.
I said it earlier but the focus of these 2 games is entirely different. Tho I love DMCV and Sekiro a lot they both have great animations. Respawn has worked 4 years on this so lets not start saying they rushed it out for holiday just yet
No need to look that far. :p *

Yeah Machine Games are technical wizards and thats all there is to it. This is the first game of Stig with UE 4
Lol I really am not bothered by these little things. At the end of the day, it's about "the feel" of the game. If I'm having a good time , that's all that matters. Perfect animations be damned lol.
For example: thay Sunhilegend clip made it look so epic.
After peaking a few streams that's most definitely not true. Also something to note, Wolfenstein has pre-rendered cinematics. And again, you're posting incredibly compressed images from discord no less and comparing them to higher res images to prove your point. Like, imagine thinking the models in BF2 look better than the ones in this game.No need to look that far. :p *

I have also looked at early streams and I fully disagree with you.
I stand by what I said. But feel free to show me where she looks great in the game.
I'd say it's the opposite, BF2 stylized its model more and this is more trying to be 1:1, but IMO something is a bit off and it exacerbates the actor's flaws.
I also don't like how Cameron looks in the game.
I just did. This game has way better skin shading and lighting than BF2 when it comes to character model quality. Animation being way better in fallen order pretty much a given based on the MP vs SP. Ofc they don't look as good as the BF2 SP models in cinematics, (not many things do), but again, that's a bit of unfair comparison as we're talking pre-rendered vs. real time. Cal is clearly the highlight when it comes to detail. Frankly you're not even describing anything wrong with the models.
-skin shading
-eye shading
-lighting
-polycount
-texture quality
-animation quality
etc.

What specifically are you taking issue with on a technical level? Cause frankly based on your phrasing it sounds like your issue is that she doesn't look traditionally attractive enough.

I think the pic Crossing Eden posted looks better than the Mafia III pics you opted to use.
I will be enjoying what should be a very fun Star Wars game with some awesome lightsaber gameplay on Friday, while apparently some in this thread will be worried about character models I guess :) Give me some sick gameplay all day and every day over just graphics with lesser gameplay.
