yea i thought this was fully animated

It not about being real. It about being good at the perfect camera angle

[@cirno9.915]

Boy you're going to love the Devil May Cry BTS, they are full of over the top and hillarious bits

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

lol what? Absolutely NONE of the movements in the game are at all "gOoFy" in the slightest, all the motion captures PERFECTLY matches their suited characters! You're out of it acting like it doesn't all fit when it DOES!

[@Plut0kin]

The movement isn't "goofy" in game cuz this more like the sketch before the finished drawing and rendering is done to it, aka before the refine the animations and use this and 3d model as reference and a slate to add fine details , edit, redo etc

[@fockingreat1125]

I cannot express how much I love behind the scenes mocap footage like. I could honestly watch the whole of a mocap game or movie like this, it's so interesting to me lmfao

[@nileredsexperiment834]

2:20 they really should’ve kept Ethan’s, “Chris?! WHAT THE FUCK!!” And the trailer when he said a, “WHY?!!” After that.

It's amazing how the scenes are created. And transferred into the game. The draftsmen who first make artworks how it should ultimately look. Are true artists.

[@soobinsnostril577]

I like how the creators got attached to Ethan Winter's character and story so much and that's why they decided on making him the main character for RE 8

[@qatarynaaa]

The way the actor's gesture literally same as Heisenberg at 01:00, so satisfying! And also the way the actress said "Hmm, man blood." at 01:33 tho
