Disclamer: not a single dev will care or even read, but a man can dream
Devs shoud make the game more cinematic, first by maybe adding more animations for bots after 5 years of copypasting vehichles. Think about COD World at War behavior of bots around you, taking cover, reacting to shots, etc. But remaking features from 2008 game is too complicated obviously
So the alternative way to add cinema (and frequently ignored in many projects) is sound. Make “killed” bots that sustained enough damage alive for a few minutes. Let them scream and weep in pain. Let them try to surrender pleading on their knees on deaf ears. Make concussed on the edge of live bots drop their weapons and walk aimlessly with a 1000-yard stare
I want to rush to the point surrounded by the sounds of hell. I want to look around and see terror reflected in the eyes of my comrades. I want to see warcrimes
And they should absolutely make both sounds and animations as disturbing as they can. Show early drafts to your HR lady and if she doesn’t look freaked out, start over
With such big scale of battles and deaths of those bots they could aura farm it, but they couldn’t help themselves but fumble this great game for shortsighted mirage of profit
Make this game absolute cinema you fools. You have everything for that
Gajin is terrible at making animations. For an example we still have those stiff movement animations and machineguns in vehicles reload with no animation. Even easy red 2 with lot smaller budget and dev team got these right. It is simply not a priority
it’s true and I believe this fact is significantly hurts the game. I understand those who see these 2005 era animations and just lose interest immideatly. For me, for some reason, it’s especially infuriating when enemy bot just insta-stabs you with their empty eyes starring at your corpse for a second only to then turret-like rotate back to their goal and keep walking mindlessly
True. Better animations would make these dumb bots feel at least a little bit more alive. But the devs will rather pump out new premium squads and events
No thanks. The open mics of consoles are more than enough.
Then again, you mentioned bots were somewhat functioning in different games 20 years ago.
And they aint working here.
So how much exactly are you expecting from the sounds ?
Id expect the “death sounds” be something like this
I don’t even understand what are you talking about and what point are you trying to make (fwiw, I play with mic sounds muted because adding a targeted mute option apparently takes more than 5 years to implement)
Like, ok, you expect shitass “death sounds”. Yeah, I agree that adding shitass sounds will sound like ass. I think they should add non-shitass sounds if that wasn’t obvious.
“you mentioned bots were somewhat functioning in different games 20 years ago.
And they aint working here” - What?
