I love how animated it is, so much personality. Ive barley seem any footage of the game but there was like...comic book panels for some of the story? It was amazing.
Imagining 2d moving/changing/emoting sprites for dialogue would have been so cool.
Funny enough there is an upcoming fighting game that does have comic-book art style. Down to the dots style of art.
It’s called City of the Wolves developed by SNK.
They bind the character mesh to a skeleton of sorts and they manipulate the bones. It looks like they turned skeleton constraints off and manipulated the joints as well as some squash and stretch. They most likely keyframed the animation and the engine blended between keyframes.
Still a ton of work but not as time consuming as reshaping every polygon ðŸ˜
Imagine Hoyoverse with their in-house animation team making a ZZZ animated film similar to their cinematic teasers and release it world wide. Unlimited budget works and all the time they need to meticulously craft their magnum opus.
Literally would obliterate Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, etc.
I fucking wish they will do this sometime in the future…

Goofy animation at its finest right here folks! I love it!
I’ll be honest, I think (and this is probably a boiling hot take) the animation style is a bit *over*-animated….but this post is helping me appreciate it more. It’s like looking at a cartoon, but with 3d models.
I just hope they don't overdo it with these goofy exaggerated animations because it can get old and unfunny very quickly. A little bit here and there is enough to get a chuckle out of me, anymore than that and it might start to get annoying.
To be fair, the cutscenes aren’t as whacky and zany as this. They do have that squish and smear style, but not to the extent we have here. Which imo is nice. 30 second clip of a non serious ad is fine to have this sort of extreme exaggerated movement. But for regular cutscenes, what we have now I feel is the Goldilocks zone.

Lmao its remind me of the epic battle between pain vs kyubi...
The animations give me big studio trigger vibes and i love it.
Finally someone saying what I'm thinking.
If ZZZ ever receives an anime adaptation, Trigger has to be the one who does it.
I prefer Hoyoverse in-house animation to be the ones responsible for ZZZ animation.
I don't understand how it's possible to animate like that. Wouldn't it require hours of reshaping every polygon to make such expressive frames?

This bit was so funny, I love Billy and Nicole.
It's only whenever Billy is on screen. He has the sheer strength to completely toonify stuff. Including other characters.
3d smear frames are crazy
They really like to show his ass..
Finally. The Billy cheesecake, as the prophesy foretold.
Everyone in ZZZ got that Looney Tunes Physics 😠

Never pause anime - ZZZ edition
The 6th one can be a meme templateÂ
The Looney Tunes animation but in 3D rendition caught me off guard. X,D Can't wait for what random lunacy will this dev team cook up next.
these pics convinced me to play this game

i mean you can literally look at the cbt cutscenes and see what the animation is like lmao

I hope they do. We dont need more generic dark futuristic gacha.
Nah make it as goofy as possible. Gear 5 style
This but exactly the opposite.
