Beta Animations (Update & Comparison)

Bringing Back Beta Animations (Update & Comparison)

My topic on bringing back Jason's and counselor's Beta Animations back got a pretty good response. We might actually be able to get these back in the game. However a few people in the comments asked me to do a Comparison of the Animations from the Beta to the Final Release. Down below I'll show you a comparison and give more details on the topic.

If you haven't read my First topic on bringing back the Beta Animations, here's a link: http://forum.f13game.com/topic/16257-adding-back-beta-animations/?tab=comments#comment-217888

 

Comparison:

 

 

Beta - Start Up Run

 

 

Final Release - Start Up Run

 

Beta - Turn Around Run
 

 

Final Release - Turn Around Run

 

 

Beta - Turn Around Walk

 

 

Final Release - Turn Around Walk

 

 

Note that these are only a few examples for Jason.

As you can see, these animations were completely scrapped. This really pisses me off. You may think it's just some minor detail but I think it adds so much more to Jason and the counselors. Note that I didn't show the counselor beta animations as I'm sure some one else will focus on that in their topic. I'm pretty sure everyone wants these back in the game. I know we can get this in the game again guys, at least on PC.

 

Thanks for reading this. And please, fill free to comment your thoughts and suggestions. I would love to hear your guy's feedback on this.

Beta animations looked A LOT better. I wonder why they'd trash them...

Optimisation. Typically why the higher quality elements of a game are phased out before release, for performance reasons (especially on console).

These animations really helped make Jason/counselors look less robotic. Maybe one day they’ll patch them back but I’m not counting on it.

I remember them and the counselors ones from playing Beta.

I don't see why such short animations would be something that would affect game FPS, in the beta for PC there was those animations and it runned same as final version.

Beta on PC, not console. It's not just the short animations that were removed, but a whole bunch of things which amount to an increase in performance when done without. I'm no game developer but that seems like the logical reason.

Or maybe they removed them for make the game "quicker". Anyway we want it back! @ShiftySamurai @GunMedia_Ben

That makes sense

I understand why they took the animations out. I sadly don't have a PC (yet!) and looking at the beta footage from when the beta was out, I loved how the counselors and Jason moved. It felt (from looking not playing) like real people. It is sad they took the animations out for console, but at least give the PC (and the future PC) community their animations back!

I wouldn't mind seeing these come back however with Rain being removed from Xbox I think it would be too much for Xbox it would seem lol
