Death animations

[kragz 156]

Death animations on this game are absolutely abysmal! The kind we saw at the turn of the millennium before any sort of dynamic reaction to death.  This makes for really unsatisfying combat - particularly against zombies and I suspect that this leads partly to the KOS mentality all the 'role-players' sat at their computers in full camo gear are crying so extensively about. 

 

As much as I prefer this to any of its clones, Rust definitely has the jump on it here. Killing is way, way more satisfying.

Deathanimations will later replaced with ragdoll.

No need to be a cunt and link me to lmgtfy. I've already seen that video and some random scouser speculating about SA ragdoll last summer with no source isn't news.

 

So both your posts are unhelpful and useless.

Not sure how 'considering' translates to 'will'. Must be a problem with German to English translation I guess.

To quote from the store page: 

• Upgraded graphics and physics engine (including ragdoll, etc.) 

Really nobody reads the store page anymore. 

 

Also: Ummm bad death animations lead to KoS, through unsatisfying combat...  Well thats a first. Sure I don't need to say the A word?

Oops deleted summat sorry: I thoughg KoS was because of the satisfying combat. 

 

Edit: It also says on the roadmap. 

• Control and animations expanded and improved for fluidity

First, love the avatar pic :)

 

I wouldn't say "abysmal".  But most things, animation and sound related, are placeholders in the game right now.  Give them time.

 

EDIT:  Now they have enough funds to licence Havok, just sayin'.... ;)
