Alpha First Look: Video 2 - Gridania

[Luaq]

Agreed. Such an odd animation glitch (as I would call it) is uncalled for and has the potential to really hurt my level of immersion in this otherwise excellent looking world.

Good, thought I was the only one who felt strange about the animation. I really must say though, it really looks great and they have worked alot on everything. I just don't understand why they took off the natural, subtle and beautiful animation of walking/running. Now you stop walking as if a pupetteer took control of your character's body

Unfortunately I think the animation (or lack thereof) is a byproduct of the new control scheme designed primarily for use with keyboard/mouse. You will have to option to rotate the camera using the right mouse button, or rotate the character using the left mouse button. Left is mostly used for directing you character while running but if you turn him while standing still he simply rotates around a single axis. I don't know if they CAN change this at the current stage. But I can certainly hope....

I really don't know how to say this but....rest assured that it's not like that. The footage for Gridania is of an earlier build of alpha.
