Okay after a few days of chewing over all the vids, Im goign to do my last whining here and be done with it.
So long as they tighten the animation system massively, I'm basically totally on board for this remake. All the artistic changes are clearly well founded. Great!
What is not a matter of opinion or nit picking is the animation though, so here I'll say it for the last time and be done with it.
When a characters feet are on the ground - the feet shouldnt float around - when they skid to a stop, they should skid to the stop, not slightly forward so the character then jumps back a few in game cms / snaps to grid. Sloppy. When Abe climbs ledges, his hands shouldnt float around on the ledge top as he hangs and climbs. When abe climbs the ledge, he shouldnt finish his "climbing" animation then suddenly 'skip down' a few cms because the animations dont exactly finish / start in the same position.
The list goes on. If the character animations are fixed, this is AAA stuff in the making. If not, its a buggy, sloppy mess and it will derail future confidence in JAW.
Other than that, great work . Im so pumped!
