Just a little.

I heard this game was going 3D.

Story has ALWAYS been central.

Just amazing how it ever got on the air.

The USA Network fucking loved the cereal ad money they got for it.

To Fury-- My main thing with DoA/VF/etc is that while the posing and the fluidity of 3D fighters is really nice, the actual movement is very robotic. It's the nature of the beast. The cloth sims are getting really good, and there's a lot to like in a lot of the attack animations, but they still come off as a bit stiff and weightless at the end of the day. It's getting a lot better, though.

This is my reply.

It isn't just animators and time. I feel there are limitations in the rigs and scripting, particularly when adhering to gameplay first.

I feel rigging kind of falls under the time thing. It takes a long time to make a really good rig.

I haven't played Assassin's Creed but that apparently has real nice animation, but the best I have seen so far is Team Fortress 2.

The first problem for me with SFIV is some of the models are ass (hi guile).

Yeah I've heard many good things about both of those as far as animation goes, I haven't had a chance to play them yet. Hopefully soon.

personally, I blame SFIV looking the way it does, good or bad, on Ikeno's art direction, instead of the move from 2D to 3D. I wish Kinu was lead designer again, like she was with the last two main SF games.

YellerDog just won the thread.

...and, holy shit, I can't believe I've never seen the SFII Movie. That looks epic.

Don't forget about Street Fighter II V and its four frames of animation, too!
