Not really

Generally teasers released by companies are like “Oooh look what we can do noooow”. This is less shiny new things and more BJ unexcitedly muttering

Well...

It is BJ.

Keep firing Assholes!

Blackout is always right

why do they show us the same features as the last game in the new game teasers. The ability to flatten someone out when they are on their back is the only thing new i saw there.

That trailer was garbage.

I don’ expect them to show a lot but gawd dam the animation they showed did not look good.

by fozo on Mar 13, 2010 12:41 AM EST reply actions  

Are you an animator?

The unfortunate thing about sports games is that animation is to context specific and animators have trouble negotiating that with collision detection. The first game’s animation was passable and I’ve seen some promising things from footage of this iteration that would suggest the animation is significantly improved. If you want to watch a real fight…….. watch a real fight.

trouble negotiating that with collision detection

But isn’t the collision (oabb, aabb, capsules, per-poly, heirarchy) generally built-on and driven-by the joint transforms? Or are you referring more to motion graphs or trees being a problem?

It’s troublesome to effect reflex animations when you need a model to return to the original stance/animation. It would seem “natural” to use physics engines to create more organic reactions to strikes/takedowns, but resets have to happen in short order. I’d love to see sports games get more creative with free-form physics engines (like Backbreaker— which is coming out on the same day as UFC 2010, actually), but they’re just not there yet. Nor do I expect any MMA titles to be after so short a window of experience (after the long layover). You want to put the onus on someone, start bitching about EA essentially using the exact same animation structures they’ve been employing since Madden 2001.

I definitely agree. For an MA game I’d really love to the see them run an ik step-planner for the lower half so we can get better footwork and movement.

True

I hope they get more ambitious on a year-to-year basis, but I don’t expect anything too wild this time out. If EA weren’t a bunch of bullshitters, they’d take their time and try to put such a physics engine into place, but they’re likely to make a product that is very similar to THQ’s.

Are you referring to it looking choppy? Or something more subtle in the motion itself?

Not attacking, just curious. I’m learning some of this stuff now and am curious what people see as being a problem.

by asa on Mar 13, 2010 2:01 AM EST up reply actions  

Resetting

People find the return to the “idle/stance” animation inorganic. Rightfully so, sure— but it’s not a THQ specific issue. It entirely defeats the purpose of isolating this game as an example of that.

I believe that's the video

The real anims will be as smooth as your Xbox’s framerate. This looks like it was capped at regular speed and slowed down in a video editor instead of capped at the slower speed.

by asa on Mar 13, 2010 2:36 AM EST up reply actions  

goddammed awful. These guys spend anywhere between 5-20 million to produce a video game, and they can’t drop 200K for a decent commercial?

Sure glad Lesnar got his shit straightened out.

by judonerd on Mar 13, 2010 12:47 AM EST reply actions  

200k? I doubt that cost more than 1k.

by gzl5000 on Mar 13, 2010 1:09 AM EST up reply actions  

THQ have never excelled at marketing

I just want to see live footage of a fight instead of all this dick teasing.

Did you hear that Backbreaker moved it’s release date and will launch with Undisputed 2010?

by CSKit on Mar 13, 2010 2:37 AM EST up reply actions  

Yeah

I mentioned it above, actually. I hope that turns out well.

Graphics and animation wasn’t the issue with 2009. The problem was poor balance between different techniques. I stopped playing MP when all you did was stepstrike and body punch spam. Ridiculous.

by ununkvadrium on Mar 13, 2010 6:37 AM EST reply actions  

Oh yeah, and I stopped playing single player when things got repetetive after 2 hrs.

by ununkvadrium on Mar 13, 2010 6:38 AM EST up reply actions  

I thought the animation was super-stiff in the last game, but that’s just me. The EA game seems to show more promise in terms of capturing mannerisms and nuances. I hope the UFC game gets those things right this time. Who wouldn’t wanna see BJ Penn lick the blood of a fallen victim off his hands?

I still have all my emails from dana saved

This trailer makes me feel like the Suns coach last night...

One of my favorite lines from the best TV show ever.
