[quote name="bombMexico"][quote name="Andrew"]Obscenely good character animation. Going from MGS3's excellent mocap work for everything and everyone to, say, Psi Ops's industry-standard half assed keyframing, I felt like I was being sucked back into some black hole of mediocrity and low expectations. It may be a ton of work but the by-hand approach simply is a squished gnat under the shoe of mocap when it comes to realistic character movement. Too bad the lip syncing was nonexistent.[/quote] i can't afford new games, so I'm going to agree with you while pretending you're talking about mgs2. Cut scenes would either fall into the category of soldiers storming in, pointing guns at things, and being generally awesome, or they'd be an extended posing contest between Raiden and whoever, which was not so awesome. bad mocap: the guy who did the motion capture for "guard listening to walkman" has never actually walked while listening to music. Instead of bobbing his head and saying "yeah" under his breath every once in a while, the guards rocking out the hardest anyones ever rocked out to what sounds like the longest drum solo ever.
