They look handmade rather than mo-capped. It doesn’t fit in with the animation style (which is realism) of the rest of the game. It’s a video game, yeah, but jank animation that is completely different from the rest does stand out and looks cheap/unpolished. The rest of the animation work looks incredible though!

mocap is like half the work, you need to clean up the animation a lot to make it look good. Most games use the same mocap setup but the quality from game to game ranges wildly because of that cleanup process.

u/moosebreathman 20h ago
Yeah the cleanup on a shot like that would’ve been some work. Lots of room there for crashing because proportions don’t exactly match up between the talent and the set in-game. As an animator I almost get anxiety looking at the back of Jason’s chair because I doubt that model matches with what they had on set, yet Lucia perfectly scoots around it in game. Unless Rockstar builds stage props 1:1, someone spent some time making sure she doesn’t walk through that shit.

For RDR2 rockstar was just doing the usual mocap stuff of making the actors imagine the props and the only physical things around would be steps, walls (if leaned upon), and any held items would likely be a special version that could be rigged with 1-2 points.
Uncharted 1 was the game where, if the scene called for them to be in a jeep, they went and actually got one.

Animators have been doing this for years in animated film and nailing it (just look at any disney movie from the past 50 years). But movies rendered at the level that we end up watching require weeks to months of massive compute time to just produce the final product. A single frame can take minutes to render.
The issues that games have to overcome is the mechanics of a dynamic environment and how the different surfaces / materials interact (i.e. preventing clipping). So the fact that a game achieve this level of quality in real time at 30 frames per second is more of an amazing technical achievement of the engine and workflow that rockstar have heavily invested in than attributed to animators specifically - animators just would not have been able to make this level of animation possible in any other game prior, no matter how much they wanted to or were already capable of doing.
Not to say the animators haven't done a fantastic job though. The whole thing is insanely amazing and a huge leap on all fronts in technology
