When the Euphoria ragdoll physics engine was used back in Grand Theft Auto IV, Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Max Payne 3 and Red Dead Redemption, I thought this was going to be the next evolution
Then came GTAV which neutered the hell out of the ragdolls. In RDR2 it was passable but still left a lot to be desired.
Bodycam unironically is the only game I’ve seen that takes what the Euphoria engine did and vastly improve upon it and put it into a shooter. These are the ragdolls i wanted in Tarkov, Ready or Not, and any given hardcore shooter.
This is why I think developers should be meaner. The fact a simple interaction about the artistic direction of a game spiralled into a controversy because of the fragile entitlement of gamers and grifters is why I think developers should be assholes honestly
Hot take incoming (not really), artists enjoy making characters that look cute or hot. The intention is not always "goonerbait" or "tHe MAle gAzE", it's just artists making art they enjoy making.
I'm sorry but creating attractive characters is just more enjoyable. Sometimes artists just wanna make a character look cute, hot, or cool because it’s fun. That’s it, it ain't that deep.
