What is your opinion on the use of Mo-Cap in gaming?
I don't give a shit
As long it's not a LGBT/SJW game like The Last of Us and Beyond Two Souls I'm ok.

When done appropriately, it can really bring life to a game's animations and give them personality.
Unnecessary, takes up development budget that could have been used to make more game.

Ok
>>339750113
Depends entirely on the mocap director. A lot of them seem to think replicating real motion is good enough and don't think about how a character should be moving.
There is a lot of character in just how a person moves.
>>339752228
Nigger, mo-cap is not just used to make cutscenes.
not surprisingly, it makes all the movement seem fake and staged. they shouldn't have the actors do stunts, they should have stunt double, professional people, do them. people who don't mind getting actually hurt and thrown and shit.

>Tfw it's not DMC5
mocap is shit and less companies should use it as a crutch
we're making games not movies
>>339752824

It sucks.
You just have to watch a 100% hand-animated game like Jak and Daxter or The Last Guardian to know that mo-cap is the laziest way to make your animations.

I have hope for e3, anon. Am I a fool?
>>339753297
who are you quoting
>>339752228
Because spending more money on labor man hours to hand animate everything saves so much money, it's not like mocap was invented in the first place to be more efficient or anythingyou're retarded
>>339753297
You're so stupid.
>>339750113
I suppose if you're going to go for that super-realistic feel then its just about a necessity at this point, but honestly I prefer my games a lot more stylized. I don't think I've ever played a game where everything depended on the mo-capping, but good animations have made or broken several games.
Mo-Cap has been used since the late 90s and saves a lot of time compared to making animations from scratch.
All you idiots who say it's too expensive or time-consuming have no clue what you are talking about.
>>339753636
Wouldn't the cost of a mocap studio, choreographers, and actors all end up costing more than a programmer and his labor hours?
>>339753858
>a programmer
Oh my god, you're actually retarded. I'm sorry, I didn't know...
>>339752936
>implying dwarf fortress isn't the best game ever created
>>339753858
>Game needs cutscenes
>cut the cutscene making crew
What?
>>339754048
I wasn't the person you were replying to before and I know jack all about game dev, I was just asking a question you smug cunt
>>339752936
>all animations are mocap
Stop killing video games
>>339753297
>idoit
Nice one
>>339753858
It's not a programmer but a team of animators and keyframe animation is basically digital stop motion animation and takes a really long time.
Mocap isn't simply recording an actor's movements and shoving them into the games as is.
They still have to be processed and inserted by animators.
So mocap is used to ease the workload on animators and save time.

Thank you for the well informed response in lieu of my dickishness. I need to stop baiting so much.
