I wasn't aware fans of the Amiga were able to judge quality.

I can't even fucking play this game the animations are so stiff and god-awful.

Shoulda posted this later when people in Europe would actually be up and not asleep.

>>3776329
what difference does that make? do you think the way the sprite is drawn effects how fast it moves?

>>3776336
No but it gives an effect on the viewer's perception of the game. When the body is more slanted horizontally, it gives a sense of urgency and speed to the player, even when the sprite is moving at the same speed. Artists make a big deal about gesture and line of action and that is still very important in video games. Stiff animations leave a bad impression on the player, especially in a game that tries to imitate Sonic.

He could be doing a Naruto-style ninja run and that would unironically look better.

I'm saying this from an artists' perspective. Graphics do not always make the game, but /artistry/ and a clear understanding of artistic fundamentals make a very clear part of the game.

maybe you're just autistic?

Maybe I am, or maybe you don't know good graphics. Or maybe you just have shit taste in video games. Fuck you anyways.

>Thinking "too much" means you're autistic
Whenever people play this card I get the impression that they're not only retarded but also proud of it.

I don't know what it is with a lot of european developers and gamers. I think growing up with 50hz displays has caused some permanent brain damage that has made it impossible for them to make good design decisions.

Amiga never really had any good games for the rest of the world that operates at a normal speed, does it?

>>3776329
Amiga fan here. Zool is shit.

I guess running normally doesn't appeal to autists (sonic fans).

>>3776329

just looked this up, and it looks like shovelware

it's a matter of following good artistic fundamentals that have been around since before you were even a sperm, not necessarily copying sonic. Sonic and Bubsy just happened to follow and do this correctly.

Notice how his body becomes more angled towards the direction he is running as he runs, especially at his longest strike. For bubsy and Zool, since they dont have the cartooney spin motion I use the sprite where they were at their longest stride for comparison, and Zool is still basically standing straight up when running, and it looks stiff as fuck and makes the game an eyesore to play.

Ball-and-socket joints. Study your anatomy, anon.

>>3779663
You must be joking. You're making a case that Bubsy didn't necessarily copy sonic while posting a picture where the running pose DIRECTLY COPIES SONIC.

>>3779931
Oh please Bubsy and Sonic have two completely different running animations.

where did all these wannabe animators crawl out under from
or are you just the same guy

>hi I pirated a book by that disney guy and I almost finished it too! Yeah I'm gonna be a great artist someday I'm already thoroughly versed in how breasts should be drawn on an anime girl. anyway, I'm here because I take issue with the approximate angle at which a video game cartoon ninja's figure is leaning forward. disney guy said that the gesture should, much like the cartoons that filled my chilhood, represent the speed at which the character is moving with all the disgusting exaggeration of said cartoons! Just look, the angle is as much as 5 degrees off from what I consider the minimum, just look at these two cherry picked retro sprites and this non-retro one, the fact that the animator decided to lean toward what an actual humanoid might run like, rather than copy a trick used to make lowest common denominator children think pictures are moving in the most obtuse way possible, makes the game absolutely unplayable and undefendable!

>>3780468
Your favorite game has shitty spritework and animation, get over it.

>>3780468
You sound triggered.

WHOA, THAT LINE OVER ZOOL IS RED!

YOU'VE TOTALLY CONVINCED ME!

I'm going to burn my DOS CD of Zool 1/2!

but do the other characters have a soundtrack which namedrops their character? Zool wins again
