Inconsistency in animation choppines

[Shoop Lor]

This is not a bug, so It cant be in the "bug reporting" section. It is a design choice. Don't know if it can be fixed easily ( probably not, since animations would need to be re-done or maybe just their framerate increased or lowered somewhere )

So, when Hellboy walks we can see like a choppy and lower frame-reate animation and it looks awesome. But when he runs and fights it is 120fps smooth. Nothing wrong with this, but it kinda changes the overall style. It is just my opinon but either make everything choppy (which looks great) or make everything smooth (which looks great), but do not mix both ( looks unintentional and strange).

No, for me choppy animation doesn't look great!

> So, when Hellboy walks we can see like a choppy
I guess it is intended to make him "comic-like". But looks crappy, yes.

Agreed, it's jarring to go from stylised animations to a really smooth running animation.

[Chaser5D]

Yeah, It's a weird choice and very noticeable.

Came here thinking this was a bug. The choppy-ness happens during climbing animations too, bust so far I've only noticed it with that and walking. Very very jarring especially when sprinting doesn't have it and hard to believe it was a design choice. Hope they fix it either way.

the low fps animation is horrible it hurts my eyes

I have to agree

maybe they're trying to emulate the animation like in spiderverse but man is it rough. moving the camera is also weird it makes me nauseous

Totally with you. We're looking to address this in a patch along with the camera issue, thank you for calling it out!

For me its only when he is walking, when I am sprinting its smooth, and when its choppy its only hellboy the mobs are fine for me.

I just got done writing my 'review' but i actually loved the steppy character animation. It really struck me when i first started the game and for me it felt like it was there to very mucn push the aestheitc.

I also noticed it smoothed out during combat. I have no idea if this was a placebo, but i only noticed it when walking around.

While i can see that some don't appreciate this, i personally love it and think it was a fantastic decision that ties in with the comic book style.

People have different preferences (like some people have a melt down if chromatic aberration or grain noise is added to a game). I'd like to see it as a toggle vs something that is completely removed.

I get that it's an artistic choice, and would work great in an animated film, but for me personally it gives me a headache and after a while I feel like throwing up

an option to turn it off would be great.

Go to "Game Options" >> and check-box "Motion Smoothing"
