I know this isn’t serious, but for anyone that is upset about that. Animation is actually pretty expensive.
If your animations still look great, then reuse them and put the animators to work on new content & ideas. You don’t need to redo every asset from scratch every game.
if it isnt broken, dont fix it. but for the player model, im pretty shure it is yet to change.
Alot of it is just placeholders
The game is not yet finished, and you are whining complaining.
Why would the models change? That’s what the Russian forces look like. The Americans look like good 'ol US Marines. Same goes for the jeep. Same vehicle isn’t going to look different.
We don’t know what’s placeholders and what’s not. And yes we DO need new animations for this NEW game that we pay FULL PRICE for. Re-using animations will make the game feel stale, cowadoody style.
Tell that to any sports sequel in the last 25 years. Sure you have the ones that have progressed graphically from like 2D to 3D and such but almost every SINGLE animation is used again for the upcoming title with new ones capped and added in. We haven’t seen all of what’s new. But to expect nothing of the old is a bit ridiculous.
Really, how much different can it be while still being only 2 seconds long?
Lol, already complaining…it already looks like its 10x the BF3 single player and i love the visuals. The gun looks like it performs much differently too.
stop being such a whiny bitch..this isn’t Simcity.
then don’t buy the game then
Lot of fanboys in here, but I agree with you man.
We DONT know if these are placeholders. No one knows. Only assumptions.
I think, for paying full price for a new game, models and assets should at the VERY least be reworked.
I hope you’re joking. This kind of battered gamer bullshit isn’t acceptable. Stop lowering your expectations because another genre is crap.
I much preferred the stabbing motion of BC2. At some points you could get a solid stab right to the guys head that looked pretty awesome.
Ironic considering BF3 uses a FIFA Animation engine…
Sorry, but you’re wrong dude.
But… but… the recon guy has a backpack now!
Ever wonder how COD sells so well? Its done with attitudes like yours.
So what separates you from him? You have higher expectations and yet you’ll still purchase the game anyway.
They should have given the enemy player (online) a chance to survive from a backstab, like pressing a series in a set amount of time to counter the knife, then the guy you just tried to stab will have to kill you with their handgun while doing some 180 spin to point the gun at the enemy.
