Horrible surprise

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 3:25 pm

Can someone explain to me how is it possible that Killing Floor, an indie advanced mod, has far better weapon animations(reload, recoil, firing, movement while in ironsights...), sound and feel of the weapons than a multimillion dollar game like Rage? :banghead:


EDIT:

I also can't believe that sky is a static picture, what is this, 2004??

What the hell happened to dynamic weather and volumetric clouds?

It's a strange world...and anything is possible.

Personally, I think a lot of developers don't spend much time shooting guns at the range. If they did, you'd see some really smooth, systematic animations. It also depends on what kind of experience their animators have and how talented they are. I think they did good a job though.

I don't know, Killing Floor is a pretty known game, one would think they would feel embarrassed for having that basic aspect of FPS poorer than that game..

The game is optimized to be a corridor shooter. If you want to add in shadows, dynamic weather, a day/night cycle, etc. it will result in a drop in frame rate, and none of those things really improve Rage as a first person shooter.

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Corporate to sell gaming vs Games by gamers development. There were a bunch of articles about a month or so ago about how corporate publishers don't like taking risks so their games are bland and developer feelings on this.
