Quicker Anne?
Am I cracking up, or does Anne move quite a bit faster in the beta? I never really took notice before, though having just played through the beach level, she sure as hell seemed a bit quicker covering the terrain.
For all I know, it's already been mentioned (don't know).

Re: Quicker Anne?
Maybe they added a greater push to her. Most probably got reduced so you can't just outrun raptors and company.

Re: Quicker Anne?
No, in fact, IIRC she moves slower. She moves like the walk mode in the retail.

Unless you jump, then she leaps the distance of an Olympic Long Jumper

Re: Quicker Anne?
Didn't increasing/decreasing the box under the Anne model affect Anne's speed?

Re: Quicker Anne?
Yeah, that was an old trick we found out in the Diehard days to make Anne move faster.
Retail Anne runs at 30 MPH though

Re: Quicker Anne?
The basic observation I had was that Beta running = Retail walking, Retail running = Lightspeed, and Beta walking = tiptoeing (or, realistic human walking, which no one's ever going to use in a game sadly).
What I liked about the beta is that you get hurt by run-jumping. Rather than turning on INVUL, I just "ran" everywhere, which is a slower speed that the retail, meaning the raptors posed a real threat and I got to feel more like I was really there.
You aren't the only one to say it feels faster in the Beta, though. Perhaps there's something else going on. Note that we figured out Beta Anne is shorter than Retail Anne. This might have its own effect on speed, depending on how they did it..

If retail running is lightspeed, I've got to sell my Tracker to science!

Re: Quicker Anne?
Lightspeed? Anne "runs" like a person walking fast in the retail and "walks" slower than a turtle. I don't know about you but Anne should not be running the whole way, she would be damn exhausted. "Walking" is useless in this game.

Re: Quicker Anne?
Incorrect actually. What should have been done is allowing here to get exhausted like it is done often in newer games. This way walking speed should be a moderate speed for the player to explore their surroundings while allowing them to take a run if a raptor decided to test out the new cooking. It would tie in well with the survival/exploration character of the game. Besides they could have made it that running makes you easily spotted while walking might allow you to snuck past a raptor if he's not facing the right wind direction. Would have added to it without adding lots of code ( it's even damn simple to code if done right ).Nick3069 wrote:Lightspeed?

Re: Quicker Anne?
yeah but most modern games, you sprint as fast as an Olympic Sprinter, and most of those games you're wearing 50-80 kilograms of equipment as well, and then once you 'get tired' you can still jog (still seems like running to me) while you recover, not a very real solution IMO.Dragonlord wrote:Incorrect actually.

And yeah at the 'wind' stuff, Carnivores implemented functioning AI that could 'smell' the player based on the wind direction, IIRC it was only around 30 lines of code.

Re: Quicker Anne?
Then I would recommend you to have a look once at Stalker ( any of the three titles works for that matter ). When you are out of breath you are back to walking speed which is reasonable. If you are out of breath from running you can still walk regaining your breath... that is unless you really went to your limits. But in this case you can add something like Jagged Alliance 2 used. When the stamina gets low you can only walk and if it gets too low you drop unconscious until you regained enough stamina to get walking again.

Re: Quicker Anne?
Urgh, I hate it when games only give you limited running time. It might vary the gameplay up and add some extra strategy ... but it frustrates the hell out of me. Detracts from the fun, IMO.

Re: Quicker Anne?
Depends on the game. If you are not supposed to be running all the time ( as for example in my game which is based on exploration/investigation ) then such a limit is not going to get you annoyed. A game like an FPS on the other hand can get annoying using it. But in general it applies also on your opponents so you can take advantage of them getting exhausted too.

Re: Quicker Anne?
I personally hate it when you have a character that gets exhausted in 5 seconds and you have to wait 3 minute for them to recharge and just to make you angrier they throw you into the middle of a large open environment and place your goal about 10 miles down the road
