| Summary | 0017849: Movement feel and the illusion of flight | ||||
| Description | This is a copy and paste of a point I made over on the forums: "After playing a bit more I think that the original movement is actually pretty good. It's more that there's no illusion of thrust. It moves well, but there's no feeling of you being in a spaceship. Little changes might make this better like maybe a slight stationary hover. In Gigawing they've got a rotating propeller and banking to help sell their plane. If it was just a flat piece of art with no animations it'd feel weird. Although I think that there should maybe be some actual physics involved while afterburning so that things become trickier to control as well giving a real sense of momentum and speed. Edit: a bit over-edited this, but I'm not saying add propellers or anything, but I think that more needs to be done graphically to sell the illusion of space flight." | ||||

I just wanted to second this. This may seem like just a visual change, but it actually does affect the "feel" of the movement and such, I think, that everyone is talking about. I've seen a few shmups do this one, actually. They TECHNICALLY move just like any other game in that genre, but something about the look of it, or the animation, or the LACK of animation, throws the whole thing off, and the whole "feel" is wrong. So yeah, I thought this was something to keep in mind. |
