[QUOTE=Zezibesh;29508664]Not really, the animations for low crouching and sprinting are so abysmal it's no wonder they don't want to show them up close[/QUOTE] I rather have half-decent than nothing at all. (make it toggleable, everyone gets happy)

The sprint animation is awesome what are you talking about :colbert:

The sprinting animation reminds me of Sonic.

[QUOTE=croguy;29513360]The sprinting animation reminds me of Sonic.[/QUOTE] I read it as Spyro at first (half due to your avatar) and I remembered the sprinting where he'd put his head down and run forward really fast. Stalker kind of feels like that now that I think about it.

Does anyone know why this is so pixelated? I haven't installed any mods besides a sound one, and one that edits ballistics...AA is all the way up. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/sooFj.jpg[/img_thumb]

That looks just wrong And correct me if I'm wrong but AA doesn't work unless you're running static lighting

Doesn't seem to work at all. [editline]29th April 2011[/editline] X-RAY ENGINE IS GREATEST ENGINE ACHIEVED ONLY WITH BEST SOVIET ENGINEERING AND VODKA!

Lots of vodka.

ANTI ALIASING? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

[QUOTE=Tinter;29514188]ANTI ALIASING? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.[/QUOTE] AA is only on easy mode, because on the higher difficulties you can actually cut yourself on the jaggies.

[QUOTE=doommarine23;29507367]You completely missed my point. The player has a Third Person Body and is not a floating pair of arms. In other words, in terms of First person. That would be the body used for being able to see your legs and shit. Basically, in other words. All games with Full Body Awareness Either A. Put The Camera on the Character's Head and use the Third Person Anims/Guns/Models B. Put the Third Person Body Visible with First Person Arms. My point is, they could have done option B.[/QUOTE] I don't get why games with third person/can see yourself somehow with full body animations don't have full body awareness. (STALKER, Oblivion/FO3, L4D2, Portal 2, even things Deus Ex)

[QUOTE=Funny Hats;29514121]WE'VE POURED VODKA INTO ENGINE TO MAKE IT RUN BETTER![/QUOTE] We still haven't figured out why it blows up like Reactor 4 if picked around too much, tho.

You can have the regular 3rd person models and animations but it's going to look questionable from up close.

[QUOTE=croguy;29514581]We still haven't figured out why it blows up like Reactor 4 if picked around too much, tho.[/QUOTE] Alcohol is pretty flammable. :ms:

[QUOTE=Tinter;29514687]Alcohol is pretty flammable. :ms:[/QUOTE] But that means that somebody drops a lit match into the engine every once in a while.

It doesn't really much of extra effort. Oblivion (and every other Gamebyro engine game) does it retarded. THIRD PERSON BODY, THIRD PERSON ARMS THIRD PERSON BODY DISABLED, THIRD PERSON ARMS ANIMATED. That is what First person is on Gamebyro games. And with some tweaking, it is possible to get third person animations in first person. (Didn't see full body yet though), which fyi looks amazing and has headbob and swimming animations

[QUOTE=croguy;29514711]But that means that somebody drops a lit match into the engine every once in a while.[/QUOTE] Mechanics and electronics create heat and sparks. :ms:

Yes, to reword that. Third Person materials disabled with the arms using new animations :frog:

Best FBA for a game would be third person animations with optional headbobbing and interchangeable model and texture quality if the game can change the view from first to third. Using third person quality models, like Bethesda games do, I think, can make things looks like ass from up close, but slapping high quality onto everything slows down the framerate and increases the requierment for processing power.

I highly doubt it would slow down anything. Going from a 256x256 to a 512x512 texture really wouldn't tax much. Besides, most of the time, you'd only see your body while looking down, which typically results in no real performance loss anyway. So it shouldn't be rendered (games render what's infront of you that you can see). [editline]29th April 2011[/editline] I mean hey, Halo does it just fine, First Person Weapons ( I think) with the Third Person Body

You can see your body in L4D1 and I personally thought it looked very good. Granted, it wasn't as extensive as F.E.A.R. (where you could actually see your character's hands climbing a ladder), but it was still a nice feature.

FBA really adds to the immersion. It was pretty awesome that crysis had it, though crysis really isn't a game you can immerse yourself in, it still added to the experience nonetheless.

It could also make prefetching a bigger nightmare. [editline]29th April 2011[/editline] Oh yea, and dynamic animations. Think of euphoria, then imagine falling into a whirligig.

But typically, what a game dev does, is make extremely detailed stuff, than tone it down. While preserving as much quality as possible. So really, it would probably be a simple case of putting a higher detail texture or normal map on and I don't think it would affect too much. I'm not too sure. I know as I said before, the Halo games did it great.

Unless GSC managed to optimize their new engine well enough to not crash when there are too many high quality models in one level, then slapping HQ stuff is just as good.
