Skate. Animation Review

 


I played the new Skate game that came out this year that was produced by EA and on is PC and Console. skate. is a skateboarding simulator set in the city of San Van. You can skate all around the city and on top of the buildings and even create your own lines to skate. Like the previous games, it tries to take a realistic to most of its look and animation. The animators goals are to make each trick and every part on the board be as similar as possible to real life. 


One positive that I found with the animation in this game is that it feels like my character is doing the action that it was told. The motion feels natural. That the characters feet are moving the right way in order to complete the trick that I put in. Even with the more ridiculous parts like gliding looks like the gliding animation is matched with the correct motion.
One negative I have is that the animation does not seem natural when it comes to doing tricks near sharp edges. The legs and feet move to be on that edge making the animation no longer natural.

Introduction To Me

  Hello, my name is Drew. I am an aspiring game developer and game enjoyer. My favorite games are Elden Ring, Halo: Reach and Battlefield. While I do not have one genre that I love and stay in, I do have one genre I don't like playing. More specifically I do not like turn based games. I am branching out and trying to play Expedition 33, Wasteland 3 and Gears Tactics. Though I do like action games that have a fight system that works like a rhythm. This would include the Space Marine games, Spiderman Batman. As always, a game with great story and great combat system, like Halo, Gears of War, and Soulsborne games. I have decided to enter the game development because I have been playing games since I was six and I just want to be apart of the process that has been so persistent in my life. Video games is a big part of my life and how I grew up and I want it continue when it was in a golden age and I want to be apart of it. The contribution that I want to add to the gaming industry is g...

White Knuckle Demo

  White Knuckle is a rogue-lite climbing game with elements of horror and puzzles. I played the demo,  but the game come out this year and developed by the indie studio Dark Machine Games. The game is only on PC. This games art style is inspired from retro pixel art like DOOM. The goal of the game is to get as high as you can within the campaign. That means there is a specific height to reach to, but I was not good enough to complete the campaign in the time that I played. Each run is short and different making the replay ability of the game very good.  The main mechanic of the game is grabbing and climbing. Your hands have stamina, so you cannot hold onto one place for very long. Each floor you reach have a different route for you to climb make you have to think fast to find the right route because you do have threat following you. There is a black liquid slowing rising as you go up making so that you cannot fall all the way down or you will have to restart. You are also...

Video Game Engines

  Fortnite is a free to play battle royale that is available on every platform. This game also has many other game modes like racing, a guitar hero clone and creative mode. This game is a perfect for a game being powered by Unreal Engine. While Fortnite is not the most graphically intense game out there, it is the most recent popular game made by Epic Games, which also created Unreal Engine. The graphical use of Unreal Engine is shown in the shadows and textures that are shown throughout the game and its day night cycle. The power of the engine is also showcased in the creative mode as many of the stylized maps are higher quality versus the giant map that the main game takes place in. Among Us is also a free to play game on mobile and on paid on PC. This is a game of social deduction. The innocent people need to find out who is killing the others before the ship is destroyed or everyone is killed. This game is a perfect example for unity because the game is 2d. Unity can do 3d, but...
