Can we have a good animations thread? 2D and 3D welcome.
Animations are more important than graphics and arguably second to gameplay but are overlooked.

>Tfw games will probably never look as good as metal slug again
>>337292454
That looks really good but how is the game?

How fucking come? I'm no expert in anything but, Metal Slug is like 100 years old now, right? Shit should be easier to do now, right?

Don't know, isn't out yet

2D animation is expensive as hell. Unless you're just cheaply tweening body parts. But cheap animation is very shitty.
>>337293009
No passion

3D is not only cheaper, but for some reason normal people high end 3D graphics.

Also this

Holy fuck caught me off guard

You can also do 3D to 2D which can look good if done right

Good pixel art and animations are still hard as shit to do, even if there are more tools for it. It requires loads of time, takes highly skilled individuals, and the saddest part is that in the end, most consumers just view 2D art and especially pixel art as inherently cheaper looking than 3D art, so they won't want to pay much for a game that uses it. So you've got a situations where something takes a long time, costs a lot of money, and people aren't willing to pay full price for it.
Basically all of the same reasons no one wants to do traditional 2D animation in movies anymore.

It's still expensive as fuck though
Case in point: KoF XIII
