Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)

What the fuck. I hope "classic" mode uses the real cinematics.

I think they've tried stylizing it a little whilst at the same time ignored a few things.
The animations might seem quick but you're alone, you've seen humans and covenant alike killed by an unknown force, stranded on an alien world which has technology that far exceeds both covenant and human, I'm reasonably sure that even a super soldier would be scared shitless.

I'm going to simply take it as an older WIP animation set, but you are right.

BTW, my brother and I were driving to Athens, Georgia today and heard "Blow Me Away" (Breaking Benjamin and Evanescence feat) on the radio. Now I'm compelled to go play Halo 2. It makes me realize how much I love Gravemind in Halo 2.

I don't think that's what they were going for. The extremely jerky movement is not natural jerky movement.

I was more looking at the "emotion" of the movements such as the head swaying and the fingers flinching whilst holding the gun rather than the twitch jerk movements.

He's John 117. A Spartan. He doesn't get scared, let alone shitless. He is only ever alert. And this is not him being alert. This is yucky animations :\

The spartans were trained to fight insurrectionists not Aliens let alone explore previously unknown alien worlds created by aliens who had the ability to effect a large portion of a galaxy with the world you are currently on.
I'm reasonably sure even as a spartan, he would be worried.
I agree the animations need fixing but the tone of movement suggest's he is concerned, look at the stance he takes whilst holding the rifle.

I'm an animator. I bitch about animations all the time in games and no one ever listens. Why is it now okay to bitch?

They look like mo-cap to me, and they mainly look fine. I'm only thrown off by maybe one or two head movements, and the handling of the helmet but again it's from the motion capturing. Clipping probably comes from that too.

Actually, what's annoying me so much about it are the camera angles and movements.

It's missing color theory. It's a SPACESHIP so it must be made of METAL.

Yep. What's worse, it's mocap from someone who's not an actor.

That's not snap reflexes, that's someone who doesn't know what the graph editor is.

The slight clipping of the helmet when he turns around to hear the flood noise bothered me. The fact that sounds didn't sync bothered me. Maybe it was a little TOO jitterey but I kind of liked it.
