Message: [QUOTE="Kanon_Magic, post: 320918, member: 44316"] Well, one idea that comes to mind is similar to fighting games, for example, a classic Neo Geo or SNES-style fighting game, where you have to create the entire sprite with the movement(animations). In a more modern PS1 or PS2 game, only the “bones” are animated, i.e., the arms, legs, and body separately. This saves on sprites and the work of creating them, but you need more power to rotate them. Something like that would be a modern FMV game, a machine with a lot of storage and fast enough to read the animation frames. For example, if you touch the top, it moves up, it crouches if you touch the bottom, and you can rotate the camera freely because it's already recorded on the disc and you just have to access it quickly. That would have been one way to go. For example, FMV would have continued with DVD, which would have had much more space and speed to do that. I think it's possible, but it's something that takes time, like creating a game. Both take time, polygons and FMV, but at the time, polygons were cheaper and more interactive. Now it wouldn't make sense because PCs and consoles are already at a higher level than most FMVs of any era XP. [/QUOTE]
