Separated at birth :) recycling animations


(AssortedStuff) #1

I agree with using methods that can shorten production times and I’m just posting this because I found it funny to see Arty and Skyhammer synchronizing moves in the Squad Picking screen :slight_smile:
Normally no one would choose those 2 to be in the same squad but I was trying something with the ammo providing mercs.
Nader/Stocker and Redeye/Vassili also share animations but is not so obvious

Arty and Skyhammer are in fact members of the UK synchronised swimming team.

Now ask urself… is the perma-flooding in the map underground really a bug?

I also noticed the other day Skyhammer’s packs and ‘flaps’ wobble when you rotate in the merc shop :slight_smile:

They also wobble when he’s running around. It’s really neat.

It would be neat if they didn’t clip all over his legs :rolleyes:

Funny find, but these are all placeholder. Alas the general public will never get to see the DB mercs dance moves :slight_smile:

I look forward to being able to buy taunts for each of the characters :wink: don’t take this away from me Anti!

Ubisoft is receiving criticism for not including a female protagonist due not wanting to spend extra budget on new animations and assets.

Now I think the criticism is unfair as the whole story is about a single character that just so happens to be male and I can appreciate how much work an entire new set of animations will cost, especially for a game like AC.

HOWEVER

This is an ideal moment -for certain developers- to pitch in on the debate and express -how incredibly important- gender and ethnic diversity is in gaming these days. Just for the sake of getting the marketing machine rolling.

Yes it’s cynically abusing the controversy but hey, strike when the iron is hot.

Yes! We will teach them to fight like a girl!
