[Misc] Weapon firing animations

PootisMayo · 03-05-2017, 09:44 AM

I've thought about some weapon animations in BFE for a while, and I'd like to point out some things:

1. The pistol and double shotgun firing animations are kind of dull and slow. The double looks like it's firing in slow motion, and the pistol's is nonexistent..

2. The minigun's firing animation is good, but it could be better. Right now, it looks like it's perfectly still when firing it for a while. It should be really suitable to have the minigun jerk forward and backward rapidly when firing. That way, it can be more polished.

That's all I can think about for the animation problems in this game. I really hope the weapon animations will be better in Serious Sam 4.

As I said before - the best game in terms of weapon design and animation is Painkiller. The weapon design there si something more than just shaking model in the corner of the screen.

Added the word "firing" to be more specific. Sorry for not doing so earlier.

You can't actually change the thread title yourself, but I did it for you.
