bc i cant resist talking about this. The jokes about the weirdness of Mia's hair/it's unnatural movement are VERY funny and her hair is SUPER wack, well deserved lmfao.
BUT for anyone interested, it has historically been quite difficult to accurately animate hair and fur in 3D, esp in things like games where the movement and interactions are not predictable- aka, its not just simulating it once and recording it, but trying to figure out how to make it organically, naturally move based on unpredictable input. (like someone controlling a character in a game) This is because there are an immense amount of small physics interactions and events happening simultaneously that comprise the way we percieve hair (or fur) to move. This then changes further depending on the texture of the strands, whether they are wet or dry, etc. The typical physics tactic of coding in known behaviour based on certain interactions between objects breaks down a bit with such a large volume of items.
Computing the actual individual interactions between individual hairs using a physics based model, would get you closer to actual movement but quickly becomes very expensive, as you can imagine, (constantly computing physics interactions for thousands of individual hairs).
There have been a number of ways to deal with this issue over time, cheat it a bit/make the performance feasible. You'll notice in older games hair or fur is typically either a flat surface with some coloring/lighting on it to make it seem like a certain texture (more common for fur), or just a. flat line or block without an actual attempt to make the actual movements of esch individual hair. Animation of animal fur is often done in patches instead of treating it as individual hairs or all just a plane, which is why furry animals in video games might look a little like their fur is matted vs all flowing smoothly and softly. Brave did some interesting tech to correctly depict curly hair in a way that feels "right".
anyway. its a fun topic. i find it interesting. cant find a general history video about it like the lecture i attended about it, but there are tons of interesting papers on it as the resesrch and work around this is still ongoing.
#attended a fascinating lecture on this and think about it consistently whenever i see hair or fur in video games. ESPECIALLY when its good#spent the first hour or so in horizon forbidden west going 'oh WOW the hair is so realistic' bc of this#this and wave/water animations.... tech is cool#resident evil 7#re7#smosh#amanda lehan canto#angela giarratana#amangela#whoops..didnt mean to get caught up writing this during work break... oh well

For this bestiary review I also dive into the concept art for a lot of this game's monsters; it had a large art team who have shared a lot of the developmental designs on artstation!

Top 15 Games that SHOULD get a 100% Reboot/Restart
Hi. I felt like doing something positive especially after my last post, so as a follow up, here is a list of games that I think should get the reboot treatment. And when I say reboot, I don’t just mean remake with fancier graphics and bonus features. I mean restart altogether with fresh new storylines that go their own way though in some specific cases, all they need is a new look. Note that this is my subjective opinion and nobody here has to agree with it. It’s just a fun suggestion.
1- Metal Gear - I don’t mean Metal Gear Solid, I mean Metal Gear in general. In fact, I think the “Solid” should be retconned entirely because it not only stopped being about Solid Snake who is the hero, he was done dirty with a pathetic ending and the only sequels we get now are prequels. Not to mention the constant drama and tragedy became nauseating. My advice is to restart from the beginning by rebooting the games that date back to the NES as are with better writing and then after that, only do a half-reboot of Metal Gear Solid and then go its own way while respecting Snake as a main character. Solid Snake is a staple in war themed games and set the standard of how we create them. He should REMAIN the main character and have his endings always remain open with him still standing with dignity.
2- Dino Crisis - I don’t think I need to say much here. Everyone is dying to see this game get remade and it’s not hard to see why. With the exception of the third game and the spin off, Dino Crisis 1 and 2 are amazing. They are dinosaur themed games that actually feel like survivor horror games and not like shooter games with the dinosaur gimmick. This series deserved a reboot and a third game that gives it proper closure.
3- Parasite Eve - Like Metal Gear, this series did dirty to its main character (Aya Brea) in such a way that they wrote themselves into a corner. Only the first game feels unique and special while the second and third instalments have an identity crisis, a confusing weapons and spell system, and a tank control that never belonged. Only the first game should stay as is with a simple remake and then, its sequels should actually be true sequels that keep the battle, spell and control system as are. Let’s just forget that PE2 and The Third Birthday ever happened.
4- Silent Hill - Let’s be honest. Harry Mason is the most underrated male protagonist in survivor horror because unlike all the others, he is not a man of action, not a badass and very relatable for it. He is a widower, a writer, a pacifist and one heck of a dad who literally jumped into the underworld to save his daughter. Now, while I like a lot of the sequels, this series lost its way. With the exception of Silent Hill 2, I think Harry and his daughter should have remained the main protagonists of the series. Harry is proof that real men come in all flavors and having one like him is different while still showing the best attributes of masculinity.
PS: I know Silent Hill 1 got a reboot, but it was bad. Period.
5- Turok - Before there was Dino Crisis (and I’m not discrediting it), there was Turok. The titular hero who might I also add is aboriginal which is a very underrepresented group in fiction period who literally kills dinosaurs with his bare hands. He is a badass and he while he has gotten reboots before, none of them hit the mark yet, but creators should not give up on him. He is worth the effort and if they keep trying, they will strike gold.
6- Castlevania - This series is ICONIC and nobody ever gets tired of it. It should make a comeback and it is one of the few series where being 3D would make it better. And considering that medieval settings in video games is all the rage now, it would be great to see Simon Belmont back in action. Heck, I would even be open to seeing a Belmont fighting evil in our modern times in 3D.
7- The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time - Now, I stand by that this series doesn’t need a reboot, I think this game specifically should get a remake because it is a great game that reshaped the series into how we know and love it now, but it was very buggy and the graphics were not that great even for their time. Everything else about it is great, but it does need a facelift.
8- Prototype - A forgotten gem if there ever was one. This series is unique in that it is the one game where you play as the monster who is also an anti-hero. Yet again, its series did its main character (Alex Mercer) dirty though on top of that, left too many questions unanswered. This series needs a reboot with a much better storyline. If you haven’t seen it, play the first game and you’ll see my point.
9- Tomb Raider - Now, we can all agree that this series has lost its way. While I am all for origin stories and I admit it makes sense for Lara Croft to not be hardened or toughened up from the start. Keeping her as a weak frightened girl doesn’t make her realistic nor does it make her a likeable heroine. And I am woman enough to admit that being athletic, confident, daring and badass is a part of Lara Croft’s character. I don’t want her to be realistic. I want her to be cool and fun to play. This series needs to go back to its roots when it was fun and Lara was allowed to shamelessly be herself.
10- Dead Rising - Another case of a game losing its way and its main protagonist becomes someone they’re not. The second instalment was the only game that felt true to what the series is supposed to be and even then, it felt like a spinoff not a part of the main story because Dead Rising is Frank West’s story. Another thing that also stood out about this game is that unlike most zombie themed games, the main character is not only not a fighter, he’s a total lover in all the great ways. Frank is (or rather, was) compassionate, honest and it isn’t for nothing that you only got the best ending when you would save everyone. Heck, he would save people who tried to kill him. This series should get a total reboot and a total rewrite after game 1. And can we please not give Frank a heart of stone? Him being loving is what made him great.
11- ObsCure - Another lost gem with a unique premise and group of protagonists. This game plays up our childhood fear of the dark because the monsters in this game literally are allergic to the light and the setting is in a highschool. It feels like Scream meets the Blair Witch Project making it a lot of fun, and the monsters are so delightfully creepy. Plus, the story was compelling. Sadly this series only got one sequel which was actually great, but never got that third instalment that would wrap everything up. I say we give this series a reboot, so it can finally finish what it started.
12- Resident Evil Outbreak - I know this is a spinoff series, but it’s one of the best in the series. It fills in a lot of gaps in the main storyline and any game that allows you to have your own tyrant fighting alongside you is awesome. It also has a multiple ending system which was well done and very rewarding when you get the best ending. I think this should get the reboot treatment and even have a third game that expands the aftermath further.
13- Resident Evil Dead Aim - Another one of the best spinoffs in the RE series because it expands the story specifically in how tyrants are made and how the variants work. And to be honest, I even liked the characters. I would love see new life breathed into this compelling game even if it just remains the only one of its kind.
14- Days Gone - I don’t care what anyone says. Any game that allows to play a biker with the spirit of an honourable warrior is badass. Also, can we talk about how this is one of the few games where the main protagonist is married and remains loyal to his wife even long after?! He may be white, male, straight and Christian, but he is still pretty progressive and embodies the BEST part of masculinity. The parts that drive a man to be romantic, noble and heroic. This game with extremely misjudged to the point of bigotry and it deserves a proper reintroduction because it was going places.
15- Half-Life - This series helped Valve get its jump start and it had the most unique and most iffy type of protagonist in an action/sci-fi game possible yet worked: a scientist. After all, who expect the skinny nerd with the big thick glasses to save the day? Yet, it worked and this game has tons of monsters that became iconic in video game lore. What’s really sad is that a third game was in works, but never saw the light of day. I say we reboot this series and give it the chance to honour its promise to give that third game at long last.
Bonus - Other honourable mentions here are Left 4 Dead because Back 4 Blood stinks, Alone in the Dark though I hear a reboot is in the works, Doom, Devil May Cry and the right way please, Bloody Roar, The Suffering, Fatal Frame, The Evil Within and any other fantastic game series that either went bad due to bad sequels or never got the chance to keep going.

The cinematic cutscenes are damn nice 👍👏
I wouldn't mind watching a full action cgi movie or series in this style. I kinda miss when Final Fantasy were doing those.
#no body was doing cgi movies like square enix back in the day really ahead of the times#they counted as software demos as well just more entertaining#plan to play this including evil west game#I'm old and miss dumb fun Rule of Cool shooters and beat em ups#i could livestream my playthrus if any interest#of course au wolfwood is cool what did ya expect? 😏#bunji kugashira#gungrave#gungrave g.o.r.e.#cgi animation#video games#Youtube#also SPOILER WARNING 😅#yasuhiro nightow

Evil West
•
Released: 2022
Developer: Flying Wild Hog
Rating: 8/10
•
No photo mode so I'm having to make do with screenshots 😭 had so much fun with this game, relatively simple and linear but the combat, story and the atmosphere of the world is just so good 👌🏼 also absolutely adore Jesse, although tbf grumpy cowboy who kills vampires with an entire armoury worth of guns was always gonna be a good design choice.

...well, she may be an bloodthirsty and quite frankly hypocritical little bloodsucker, but she does have a point.
