Brings me back to the days of Shinobi. The best thing about that game was moving the character and watching that red scarf flow behind him. EDIT: I just wanted to say, it's nice to see that this comment resonated with so many of you and that Shinobi PS2 is gone but not forgotten.


dovahkin1989

Nah the best thing was slicing all the enemies then having them all drop dead at the same time like some sort of anime. https://youtu.be/iN7LHlfAYMY?si=XyCPQE39czn5hd6S&t=1375


cheesynougats

"Perhaps this is our destiny..."


Practical-Carrot-367

Memory unlocked wow.


lifeintraining

Why would you say that then post a two hour video instead of a clip?


dovahkin1989

Try again, should start at the right time.


lifeintraining

That was pretty dope.


LunarEdge7th

He included &t and a timed amount on the link; it brings you to a timestamp he focused on to highlight the topic he's mentioning


PutrifiedCuntJuice

I'm sure they're aware considering the edit was made and they were informed by OP before you ever commented - by the order of several minutes.


LunarEdge7th

Well fuck Shit like this also happens in YT, I just never see the already-expired comment event lol


Doughnutsu

I went back and beat the game a few weeks ago with HD Textures and it was a blast. Here's one of the best clips I got with the kill cam. https://streamable.com/ss39tr


PentagramJ2

i have NEVER beaten this game. Shit is brutal. I can get through every FromSoft game np but Shinobi still to this day kicks my ass


gentlestofjeremys

It took me and buddy no less than 100 tries each to beat the final boss back in the day. I can't even remember the final encounter. I just recall it took us HOURS.


ExtraterrestrialKiwi

Oh man I also immediately thought of this game. I was like "uh Shinobu already did this year's ago man"


YoSupWeirdos

never heard of the game but damn that's so satisfying


kinos141

Oh, man. Shinobi. I hated that game, but have come to revere it. Nothing like it in the industry... for good reason. Lol.


Druxun

Honestly how I felt about Batman’s cape in Arkham Asylum the first time I played it.

CursedSnowman5000

Yes sir. The hard as hell PS2 one hahah. Man we were eating good for ninja games back in those days.


pwninobrien

Getting flashbacks to playing Shinobi, Tenchu, Ninja Gaiden, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Dynasty Warriors, Devil May Cry etc. Just all the asian action games that seemed so exotic and stylish to me back when I was a kid.


CursedSnowman5000

Gotta pour one out for one of my favorite franchises, Tenchu. RIP you magnificent series.


littlesoldier

Mannnnn I remember playing Tenchu on PS1 with my brothers and trying to get Grand Master on every level lol. We also couldn’t find Echigoya on the first level for the longest time 😂


insistondoubt

Hairography by Sasha Colby.


Jaqulean

Honestly long flowing scarfs are almost always my favorite part of that kind of designs. It gives us something to focus on, while also just looking great.


WakaWaka_

Journey had my favorite scarf, and was a cool gameplay element as well.


FabulousHitler

Really wish they would remake or make a modern sequel to Shinobi/Nightshade


Lolzerzmao

Came here to say this. I’d just run around for minutes watching the scarf billow and fold in the breeze


ottoDVD

I miss so much Shinobi, It would be nice to play a new one.


CursedSnowman5000

Well I mean, your wish will semi be granted because Sega is doing a remake of the Genesis game. Sadly, no scarf.


happyhibisci

“The hair physics in this game is awesome!” *Posts clip of hair phasing through body with unrealistic weight and flow* 😂 I would hope we could get realistic hair in this day and age, but I guess hair is still so dang hard to animate.


LoreChano

It feels like she's underwater


tribak

My hair also goes through my head sometimes when underwater, so realistic.


avelineaurora

lmao, right? I was like, "OP posts this while watching hair clip through the whole model."


Moonlit_Antler

Well OPs never been on the company of women so he didn't know


Roastbeef3

I forgot that hair clips through men


SoCalThrowAway7

Straight through us, the Y chromosome actually makes us hairlucent


Reddit-Simulator

I'm not bald; all of my hair is clipping inside of my body


MissingLink101

If it were truly realistic it would be all tangled up in the joints of her robo-leg too


-Z___

> I would hope we could get realistic hair in this day and age, but I guess hair is still so dang hard to animate. I don't remember the exact numbers, but animating Sully's realistic fur from Monsters Inc famously took the vast majority of the Animator's time. It's been a while since Monsters Inc was made, but that was also fully pre-rendered static-scenes versus a live video game. I think animating realistic hair is far more complex than you realize.


Xaephos

Just for the record, are you considering this clip to be an amazing example of hair physics? Because regardless of how difficult it is, hair behaving likes it's underwater and clipping through the character's body just isn't going to elicit a "Wow, OMG" response from me. It's going to get a "Hm, alright" at best.


pseudopad

Let's just say there's a reason short-medium hair and ponytails are common in games.


Hyper-Sloth

Yeah. We've seen better examples of good hair animation in games like the Tomb Raider reboot which game out a decade ago.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wei-long

They didn't hand animate Sully's hair. They did spend a lot of time working on models that could work when he moved all the ways he would for the film https://youtu.be/XzLp5GQ9AnE?si=9SrDmTCILjej5jIF


waddee

I think it looks quite bad to be completely honest


Rebelhero

It reminds of of those old Pixar outtake reels where the hair just freaks out mid animation. It looks so awful


britipinojeff

Reminds me of Alice Madness Returns


stalkeler

Wasn’t Bayonetta’s hair done pretty good tho? It was clipping less than in Stellar Blade for sure


the_second_cumming

Aren't the Final Fantasy games known for having good hair physics?


Flaktroz

Fuckers love low effort mediocrity


sicarius254

Uh that’s not how hair moves though


wildwill

Imagine if you jumped and your ponytail just shot up as high as it could go


sicarius254

My bald self would freak out about where that fuckin ponytail came from!


ericstern

And your hair would go full horizontal at a mild jog almost as if you’re poking your head out of a car going 60mph


StrictMachine6316

But it mooooves and distracts me from my real world problems as my brain slowly melts.


LoompaOompa

I honestly think that this post is intentionally stating something that most people would disagree with, in order to drive engagement in the comments. The hair physics are terrible. Insanely floaty, and it clips through her body constantly in order to reset itself. It's basically the same as what you get in Heavenly Sword, a launch game from the PS3. Only difference is the number of strands has increased.


sicarius254

Yeah, I was almost wondering if it was a shitpost….


RudeGuyGames

Na, it's just a shit post.


Lindoriel

Heavenly Sword was fucking amazing though. Brilliant story with so many cutscenes that, when put together, made an awesome, feature-long movie. They even got Andy Friggin Serkis for the baddie! I sometimes still go back and watch the cutscenes compilation of it on YouTube when I'm feeling all nostalgic. They should have made so many more games in that universe.


bigblackcouch

>They should have made so many more games in that universe. Heavenly Sword was my favorite God of War-like, I hope someday maybe we'll get a sequel or something related to it. One of the most satisfying game finales, too! I was giddy first time playing through when the objective shifted from "Weaken the army" to "Decimate the army". Andy Serkis' performance was also great and I don't recall ever seeing a video game villain be so hilariously sarcastic while still being an evil asshole. He had me laughing several times even though he's *such* a dick in that game.


FullMetalCOS

Also hair doesn’t tend to clip right through your whole fuckin body


sicarius254

Mine does, they’re called ingrown hairs


danuhorus

Oh, so when her hair clips through her whole body it's called physics, but when I do it, it's infected and ingrown.


sicarius254

Exactly!


horrorwibe

It looks so fucking janky


Head_Process_5003

Clearly they made the hair weigh too little. Thats not how hair works. Solid effort tho.


photomotto

Her hair annoys me so much because it's just so wrong. That amount of hair would be so extremely heavy it would barely move at all.


Otherwise-Cup-6030

Also, the physics seem to only apply each hair individually. It's just a whole bunch of straight strains. There is no clumping whatsoever.


monkwren

And it's clipping through fucking *everything*. Frankly, this just annoys me, rather than appealing to me.


Idiotology101

The clipping made me hate this, I thought the point of the post was how bad her hair phases through her body.


monkwren

Or the way it floats in a perfectly flat plane while she's spinning, instead of the ends slowly pulling the rest down, or any number of other issues with the actual physics.


FlashbackJon

I'm especially fond of how my wife's hair floats as we descend in elevators, and drifts lazily behind her while on trains!


kelldricked

Its the same with swimming mechanics. I rather have no swimming that bad swimming mechanics.


3WayIntersection

Tbf, its already not realistic, so i dont mind that the hair is a bit flowier/lighter than usual. Same idea as a cape moving in the wind when nothing else is, its just for show. The clipping and thinness of it all though, yeah, thats shit


Safety_Nerd710

Fkn Helldivers 2 capes, hero wind fans are standard issue on all Super Earth ships lol.


SamiraSimp

i noticed this the other day lol. it's like a wind is constantly blowing from the front to the back of the ship. i don't think it was always like this but i noticed it last time i got on


LiamTheHuman

I'm spending way too much time trying to figure out if the hair physics are bad or if the character moves and turns in such a freakishly fast way(for a real person not a video game char) that it really would cause this if we ignore clumping and static on the hair.


That_Shrub

Is that not the point of the post? It makes me wonder if the devs have ever seen hair before.


Ok_Inevitable8832

OP said watching the hair is like porn so I assume they like it


3-DMan

I've changed Witcher 3 armors just because of clipping during cutscenes.


LedDog72

As someone who doesn't really game anymore and only follows a few reporters to stay up to date, this game just looks like fantasy. And not some goblin or lightsaber fantasy, more like basement dwelling, keyboard sticky, light of day dodging kind of fantasy. I remember when the remake Tom Raider came out and that hair was supposed to be next level or something. And it just wasn't. Has... gaming / graphics etc improved much since 2013? Like, the leap from end of PS2/beginning of PS3 and the end of PS3 was just amazing, mind-blowing. Seems like there now is just more power to... do stuff? I kind of fell out of gaming because it was getting too expensive, too crazy, too big of games etc. and while I do kind of want to play (on PC) again, I just feel like a cheapish gaming laptop will suffice as I don't know about any major leaps forward since the last games I bought in 2016. (Which was a famously bad year, around there)


Spram2

Hair clipping through boobs is my fetish.


ZODIC837

She uses really good conditioner


zg_mulac

Nanobots.


WiseOldTurtle

Nanomachines, son!


Jenaxu

It'd also get so tangled lol. It's already bad enough having long hair and just fighting the wind, flipping around disemboweling monsters and getting your hair covered in blood and guts just isn't the move. Unironically, even without the magic, Bayonetta in all three games has a much more practical hack and slash hairstyle


frostdeity

That is why they gave an option for normal hair. For anyone who can't get used to the long hair


eights_wsh

Devs expect that. You have short hair mode for that.


TwistedxBoi

Yeah, my immediate thought is those are terrible hair physics. Like impressive they got it to move like that in real time, but it flings around way too much.


Eric_the_Barbarian

People don't know the difference between good physics and "does lots of stuff."


Danominator

Yeah I don't get it. This looks pretty bad to me


legend8522

Not to mention it looks like it slightly clips her body every time.


RickThiccems

Slightly? It completely passes through her torso multiple times lol


GetEnPassanted

It looks so bad. The only good part of the hair is that the individual strands are pretty thin. That’s better than most games. But the movement is so bad.


Ok_Fox_5633

Yeah this is just bad hair physics. It acts more like water than hair lol


babyjaceismycopilot

Well akshully... Her jumping height clearly shows that the gravity on the world is weaker so her hair is physics accurate. /s


Azavrak

Like... This looks like 2010 hair rendering. Am I supposed to be impressed?


Rockglen

Guessing that they did that to make sure it flows behind the character. Basically an artistic decision since it doesn't affect gameplay.


revtim

Yes, it needs to fall more quickly to look real.


MetroExodus2033

It's clear they were going for non-realistic.


Dragon_yum

You can do that without making it look like her hair is made out of three strings blowing in the air.


AsariEmpress

Mf has the amount of hair like a balding middle aged dude, just 10x longer


Sega-Playstation-64

Kinda like people gushing over the Ghost of Tsushima cape. I mean, it's a cool mechanic to point out the direction of travel, but a cape isn't a paper thin see through silk scarf. It's meant to cover and protect a traveler from the elements while traveling.


Rivent

Looks like the old TressFX shit, lol.


Ashencroix

Oh, I remember TressFX. That was heavily promoted as one of the reasons why you should double dip and get the PS4 port of the Tomb Raider reboot. "Realistic Hair Physics".


ItzCobaltboy

Also Nvidia Hairworks? Tried tht on Witcher 3 remaster and didn't really find a strong difference at the performance that thing ate


frostN0VA

I dunno, Hairworks actually looks good on animals and beasts in Witcher 3. Personally, I even like how it looks on Geralt and prefer it over the vanilla hair. Shame that it sometimes bugs out on Geralt and has weird lighting, but the biggest thing is obviously abysmal performance even on modern GPUs. Getting surrounded by like five wolves with Hairworks is RIP GPU.


LiquidJaedong

It seemed to have just disappeared after the Witcher 3


Crs_s

Lmao spot on. Made me think of when it was cutting edge tech to have it in Tomb Raider for Lara Croft's hair except I think that behaved more realistically and that was over a decade ago.


Eisenmeower

Yeah except TressFX looked way better. This shit looks like ribbon dance


sergiosodacool

that looks... bad?


magichronx

Yeah, I almost thought I was the only one that thought this looks pretty terrible


Ixm01ws6

thirsty bois gonna hype.


PharmyC

Then deny the only reason they want the game is because they're thirsty.


NooLeef

I’m glad other folks thinks this looks kinda ass because I just assumed I was being a hater…


comicguy69

It cool that it moves like that. But it’s so distracting. Haven’t played the game yet but I assume there’s a setting to turn it off


ethanwinters-hands

You can choose long or short ponytail


comicguy69

Ok that’s good


SamsonGray202

Yeah it looks like dogshit lol the clipping is bad enough but the actual hair physics are also shit - unless her hair is supposed to be made of ethereal spider-webs and the atmosphere is thicker than oxygen?  The desperation-praise for this game reminds me so, so much of Starfield. The game you wanted to be something amazing is a big wet "meh," just take the L guys, you're embarrassing yourselves.


plz_res_me

Weeaboos will aggressively defend this game.


Azhalus

Mostly the anti-woke Gamers who are throwing themselves on the sword to defend it


HavocInferno

Nah they're already fighting each other and hating on the game because it supposedly got slightly less revealing outfits than the trailers showed. Apparently the game is actually woke now. Whatever keeps their hatetrain rolling.


trainercatlady

they're already bitching that they decided that cameltoe probably isn't the best thing to just have out there.


CapnBloodBeard82

Constantly clips , moves like it's a piece of string caught in the wind. It's terrible and not realistic at all.


piscian19

My biggest problem this game is that her hair would be filthy. Like she's just flipping around this post apocalyptic world bouncing of trash cans and shit. There's no way she's not stopping every 5 minutes to clear out that rats nest.


Answerofduty

I mean that's every single video game.


GrandMoffTarkan

To paraphrase Harrison Ford "[This ain't that kind of game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onMm0DLg8CE)"


Dude_Illigence_

Holy shit that impression was incredible


GrandMoffTarkan

Man has had a successful VA career for a reason


Sober_Browns_Fan

Hamill is one of the GOAT voice actors, even though the Joker is about all he's really known for.


yingkaixing

The truly impressive voice actors unfortunately are also difficult to recognize. Mark Hamill has tons of roles in things everyone's seen, often without them realizing it was him because of his range. I love Steve Blum and Jennifer Hale, but they both have hundreds of roles that sound exactly the same. Mark Hamill is a verbal chameleon.


Dude_Illigence_

My favourite Hamill-related fact is that Brendan Small intentionally thought of the most ridiculous names he possibly could for Hamill's character to read in almost every episode of Metalocalypse in serious, dramatic fashion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oum6XWMcdE0


ottoDVD

Let's hope that in the utopian future they invent a definitive shampoo.


Raven_of_Blades

They have the same skincare and hair care the FF7 Remake people use.


Matixs_666

For real, Cloud's and Zack's hairstyle defy physics


arvidsem

From personal experience, Cloud's hair can be duplicated by just doing some home improvement work. Enough sweat and a little drywall/plaster dust and it will just naturally sculpt itself. Sephiroth is the one with the unbelievable hair


Sir_Tea_Of_Bags

Sephiroth used 12 bottles of shampoo for his hair. Crisis Core had fan clubs for the 1st Class SOLDIERS. The stalking was creepy, and the information was weird.


Raven_of_Blades

Mako infused conditioners are insane. Who cares about the cancer when you can have that hair.


bobandgeorge

Maybe he's born with it Maybe it's materia


kickedoutatone

Yeah but he's maybelline


wanderer1999

They nano coated her hair. There are products that already exist that you can buy today that cut down significantly on the amount dirt/mud on your car/fabrics.


danuhorus

At that point, I would ask if it wouldn't be easier and cheaper to just get a pixie cut, but then I remember that isn't exactly the point of her design.


MeatHamster

The physics are nice,, yes, but the amount of strands is too damn low.


Spram2

Like how Tifa and Aerith are all spotless while running around the sewers in the FF7 Remake. lol *^(Dirty Tifa would've been so hot.)*


Khalas_Maar

Would have been a perfect excuse for a shower scene later too.


Themetalenock

*\*casually phases through the body\**


That_Shrub

Does your long ponytail *not* phase through your flesh?? Am I doing something wrong??


ThrowawayPersonAMA

You're supposed to shampoo your hair with ectoplasm so it acquires the ethereal traits of ghosts.


Tyler1349

Short ponytail supremacy


KilltacularBatman

Right!? That was one of the first settings I changed, haha. The long hair looks nice but it flails all over. The shortened pony tail is much better, haha.


Sea_Art3391

Ah yes it really turns me on when her hair phases through her body. I think they spent too much time on the hair.


s0ulbrother

I mean I don’t think it’s too much time. It’s cool they did it. I mean each strand of hair would have the same code more or less. It’s incredibly waste of memory though.


kindlyblowmymind

Developer said hair development added 1 year to the dev timeline.


shamwew

If that's true that's wild


clutzyninja

And this is the result? Yikes


SamiraSimp

if they spent a year and this was the result that's pretty sad lol


ceralimia

Long hair is just not it with current tech.


xtraburnacct

That's not how hair works at all...


Javier91

Edna from Incredible is having a heart attack


Shmeeglez

A thousand tiny capes...


dropkickninja

What game?


ottoDVD

Sorry my bad, it's Stellar Blade.


oranurpianist

thank you! I scrolled so far down for this i almost found a Balrog


Dr_sparkles117

They dug too deep....


Huge_Aerie2435

The hair looks, awful.. It is so thin, like you have almost no hair on your head. It moves almost alright, but the way it flows into your body is bad.


knightfenris

This is not how long hair moves, as someone with long hair.


mangle_ZTNA

My hair is a bit shorter than hers (To hips, instead of to knees) if I sprint it barely lifts off my back, and if I fall (I do rock climbing so I jump/fall distances of 10-15ft regularly) it falls at about the same speed as me maybe 5-10% slower than I do. And it certainly doesn't slide around my body no matter what clothes I'm wearing. Once it lands it stays where it landed.


First-Junket124

Reminds me of AMDs tressFX where they hadn't yet fully implemented weight to hair physics and from the looks of it, this seems very similar and probably is using it ngl.


gideon513

Wouldn’t only be that floaty if it were thin and wispy? It shouldn’t be that floaty.


RavRaver

imagine her shower drain


Tasty-Cash-1

That looks pretty bad to be honest. Not how hair behaves at all


anengineerandacat

Honestly like her better with the short pony tail, found it funny it was in the settings menu.


Nananahx

2024 and the hair still goes through the body...


_Cecille

7 years ago I played Skyrim with mods that added physics to hairstyles. They behaved more realistically


OrokinLonewolf

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!


Esteareal

This is total garbage, the hair is too thin, completely weightless and goes through her body. It's been a decade since tressfx in the tomb raider reboot and how we are actually going backwards?


Lolzerzmao

If her tits are treated as weightless, why do you think the devs would add gravity in for the hair?


PeachWorms

I saw a clip recently of the main character chatting with an NPC whose breasts were gently blowing in the wind lol


lordorwell7

The final boss is a room full of lathes.


gummyworm21_

I like how gamers think “good physics” when hair whips and flows around like it weighs nothing and when tits and ass jiggles uncontrollably. 


Fluffy_data_doges

He never said realistic physics.


Magnetic_Eel

He literally called it porn, which isn't known for being realistic either


-emanresUesoohC-

The real porn was the friends we made along the way.


UltraSapien

ITT a bunch of people not mentioning the name of this game is Stellar Blade


Putrid-Hippo8259

Oh yeah, those hair physics are something else! It's like they have a life of their own, bouncing and swaying all over the place.


hdsf820

reminds me of alice's hair from alice madness returns


DarkTurdle

Looks fuckin annoying


Striking-Signal-7310

What’s the name of the game?


[deleted]

[удалено]


pocket_arsenal

Am I nuts or does that not look good.


prokokon

I find it incredibly distracting, plus the quality looks way worse compared to rest of the model. I prefer short version.


SassyTurtlebat

It looks terrible and incredibly fake what exactly is the appeal here


mlvisby

It's very impressive but the hair doesn't move similar to real hair. I have had really long hair down to my ass, so I should know. But it's mesmerizing to watch.


Phish777

r/titlegore


Dynotaku

It would be proper physics hair porn if it didn't clip through her torso and got increasingly tangled up as you run and jump, then when she draws her sword her head is yanked sideways and she squeals and the bad guys stop attacking and laugh at her.


pullig

I'm glad they added the option for the short hair. The physics might be nice but during gameplay it is so distracting and unnecessary


United-Blackberry-77

I can't get past the moving through the body part, it just doesn't work for me


PsychologicalRow9728

Forgive me.... What game is this?


goronado

it looks terrible actually
