Love the art style but the stop action on the character in the game play will kill most players trying to play it.

the stop motion makes it look like frame drops but it's not

[@Gordo448]

Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

[@xikaryo6735]

Actually during the gameplay you can clearly see the frame rate dropping and the combat just looks bad. People already making excuses for the bad performance when too many Xbox games run at 30fps?

Most interesting Game of the Showcase right here LOUISIANA BABY!

[@Vespyr_]

I kind of wish the gameplay was also animated on 2s like the cutscenes are. They should fully commit to the animation imo instead of switching back to 60fps.

[@ElPestino]

​@SilverJoystixthat's not the point though, they're talking about the amount of frames in the cutscenes which should carry on into the gameplay (12 fps basically)

[@MightyVicious]

Does the art and animation style fall away during the fighting gameplay? I swear it's a different art design style/framerate than the cut scenes and her traversal gameplay.

[@e-tean-son4146]

Because while 12 FPS animation looks beautiful in cutscenes, it doesnt work for gameplay

[@MightyVicious]
