So…like…did they just scan her ass with lidar and import it into the game? Because that, alone, doesn’t seem like a tremendous asset. Ass libraries must be a dime a dozen. That’s a tradition as old as the copying machine.
Or did they recycle mocap suit data? That seems much more valuable than a blender rendered rump.
Possibly dressed her up similar to the character photo scanned then retopologized, touched up, etc. Could be they just made a basic female model and used it as a foundation.
Possible she did some mocap as well.
Big thing is it’s easier to make mocap look natural on a model if the model and mocap actor are the same person. Though for a game this stylized I’m not sure it would matter.
This game feels like the perfect game to be cross platform (save game) and I definitely can play it in almost, if not all my devices but I haven’t started because I am suffering of choice paralysis lol.
Yeah, that is fair, and my Android phone is likely to be the one I’d get it… But at the same time, my battery is a bit messed up… So I am thinking my Switch would be better 😂
Not just Uplay, but also their activation servers. Their games make calls to their endpoints to authenticate if you own/access the game and DLC. If those activation servers are decommissioned without a replacement, your game won’t activate and you’ll lose access to DLC.
They announced they would do this for legacy games several years ago, and I was going to lose access to all the DLC I paid for with my Splinter Cell Blacklist game that I physically owned on a Wii U disc way back in 2013. Bought all the DLC because I loved the game. After enough gamer backlash, Ubisoft backpedaled and the activation servers remain for now. However, the concern is still there that I’ll lose the stuff I paid for when they decide they can’t serve it anymore or if they go bankrupt. Without them updating the game code or open sourcing it, I lose updates, DLC, etc.
We need digital ownership reform, or else it’s piracy time again. This will especially be critical when Gabe steps down from Steam and new owners are appointed, or if Steam goes public.
That’s awful, sorry. Sadly, until we globally overhaul the laws regarding DRM, or consumer backlash threatens to destroy the industry (like with music piracy), this kind of garbage will continue to happen.
I entirely stopped playing Ubisoft games because they require me to sign in to play.
I straight up can’t play half of their games on PlayStation because of this. I had a different PSN account 15 years ago that my Ubisoft account is associated with and apparently your Ubisoft account can only be tied to one PSN account EVER. I’m not creating a new email just to sign up for Ubisoft play. So I don’t buy their games 🤷
The rest can burn, but man, Anno 1800 really is/was the best in its series, mandatory logins or not. It’s the only game I still hold on to my ubi account for, and I dread the day they’ll go under, because they’ll take the Mainz team and the Anno games down with them.
I really enjoyed Driver: San Francisco. Then Ubisoft introduced UPlay and I couldn’t play it anymore. That was the last time I installed anything from Ubisoft.
I tried to reinstall it recently and it complained that you can’t install 32bit software from Steam anymore. I guess I’ll never play another Ubisoft game.
This is late stage capitalism, execs are judged on how much money they managed to squeeze out before the company died. They’ll be hired immediately specifically to do it again somewhere else.
