I know one of you mentioned the reload animations for all the guns and specifically for the G2 and i just wanted to mention there are hidden very rare reloads and the g2 one is prettty good.

Spoilered for short clip of MP

Also the G2 magazine wouldnt fall out because it locks in and the release is what cooper is hitting on the back to flick it out :pseudo:

Titanfall 2's weapon animator is Ranon Sarono (also lead animator for Respawn until 2018 iirc), who became sorta famous at one point for his joke weapon animations:

But also had some fantastic "serious" work in his portfolio before getting hired:

He went on to do a bunch of other work including , you can see most of his stuff at his youtube channel

Note: There's an animation reel for Titanfall 2 but it has some non-weapon stuff we haven't seen yet so I'm not gonna link that one. Be careful if you're gonna watch it.

to accomplish this, they scan your rear end and replicate it on the robot, in order to produce a matching personalized rear end groove instead of a geometric robuttic imprint

What gets me is the uselessness of the whole training simulation. I mean, you arm the (captured) enemy with actual, real weapons and set them to fight your own guys with actual, real weapons. So, you gain what exactly? Your guys can still die!

I think the idea is that you can test your prototype robots and also that you can jack off to the hard decision of being cruel with no real upside.

You have to send in people to clean up when your fancy robots fail and the quasi-human robot put in charge of the facility decides to make another hard decision and waste the human resources of her employer's employer being cruel with no real upside.



Also I've played a ton of warframe recently and the differences between the jumpy ninja poo poo options are giving me fits.

oh there's no sustainability in any of it at all

like you seen those giant rivers of metal-loaded wastewater flowing all throughout the facility from their manufacturing processes for the shittons of metal they use

now obviously they don't make nearly as many robotic butts but, you know
you just know
that every now and then some sluice opens up to release a deluge of discarded silicone hindquarters into those waste channels

No one left uncured.
I got you.
The sense I got of the place is that it's a pre-existing factory that constructs prefab housing for sane purposes like being subsequently transported to other locations on this obviously well-populated planet which happens to have been taken over by a slightly unhinged cyborg mercenary and repurposed to make team deathmatch maps.

Ash notes "this facility was built to kill" and there's no interpretation under which I'm completely sure what she meant by that.

The Domes were for testing the robots, to help them optimise the design and programming. If some robots are destroyed in the process, who cares? We'll build better ones using the combat data.

I assume normally it's robot-vs-robot matches and Ash decided to dump some POWs in there because she's a psycho.

Oh right, many of the enemy are humanoid robots, right? I can never really tell the difference until suddenly Kuvo sticks something on them and they become our friends.

I mean it could be training for human soldiers also. They don't have to use live ammunition. This is a problem that current notaries have solved.

Yeah. Up to the point where Ash sent in those IMC grunts (a rather poorly thought out decision, really) the only humans in the testing area were you and the Militia POWs she was using as guinea pigs.

Its tappy-things reminds me of the geonosis superweapon from Republic Commando which was also a beam gun but it had fingers/claws on the side which constantly tapped on your armor trying to power itself with your blood.

That bit where the door opens with two guards behind it in the past does pay attention to where you kill the guards and places their bodies appropriately when you pop back into the present. Kuvo only managed to get one of the guards so there was only one body and occasionally the game hitches a bit and you can see them drop when you come back to the present.
