August 23, 200718 yr http://kotaku.com/gaming/hi_tech-pigskin/naturalmotion-tackles-football-with-backbreaker-292466.php?autoplay=true A company that makes animation systems for next gen games recently applied their know-how to a football demo with tackle animations that are dynamically generated. Watch the video in the link, it is amazing how realistically the players react to one another. All the canned tackles in Madden really take you out of the experience, seeing the same five tackle animations makes the game look mechanical and fake. Just imagine this same type of system as applied to an FPS, it would be a vast improvement over the creepy ragdoll physics used now. Hell, even Bioshock has some awful ragdoll physics that take you out of the experience when character models twitch unnaturally if stuck on an object or keep twitching even if dead. Player models could react based on where they're shot rather than just collapsing as they do now. I can't wait.
August 23, 200718 yr I have been waiting YEARS for someone to do that! FINALLY! I was beginning to think that I would have to wait until I learned programming and do it myself... lol I will be purchasing that immediately after it is released.
August 23, 200718 yr Very realistic movements!!!! I do love to play football, and this is as real as fake gets!!!
August 23, 200718 yr It doesn't even really matter if the gameplay is good, I can entertain myself by just tackling over and over... ooooh yeah.
August 23, 200718 yr Yeah, I really enjoy sports games that are lifelike. It makes the experience much more exciting. Sure beats the days of "10 Yard Fight" from 1983 Nintendo!!!!!!!!!!! /monthly_06_2011/post-2265-130810200626_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-2265-130810221571_thumb.jpg
