Now, What If Skins Had Different Animations For Each Warframe Ability?

[SwornCypher]

Proceed. 

[Arenzo4]

aslong as you could toggle them off incase you liked the original animations better, then i see no issue

[bejuizb]

What would the differences be though? They don't follow any divergent theme compared to skins in other games. Regardless of skin, the base ability still fits. Gersemi Valkyr is still Valkyr, so there's no way to make her kit feel Pre-Corpus-butchered to suit the skin.

It would mean a whole lot more designing even if the model is complete. In the end it would be more trouble than it is worth.

There was with Iron skin from the rhino palatine skin

Why not just, simply, alternate animations for abilities?

Maybe, instead of Rhino Stomp, I want it to be Rhino Hulk Smash-ing his fist into the ground?

:P

That would be cool. And my temple skin doesn't seem to want to use any animations I own. Is that a console thing?

[Lakais]

Yeah. At least SOME abilites on SOME skins should see that treatment. Not all abilites, that would be cumbersome and just barely noticed. But mostly I'd say one signature ability per frame. Iron skin for rhino, Exalted Blade and Hyteria for Excal and Valkyr respectively. That sort of stuff.

I would see no change for Visual effects, but for animation effects, as long as it doesn't affect gameplay, should be fine.

 

If there were to be a visual effect change, it wouldn't affect most frames because the energy particle effects for almost every frame are the same pollen like effect.

It would be a ridiculous amount of work that would severely detract from more important things. No thanks.

[ONiMETSU_Z]

I'm all for it tbh, if it's done right, like in smite or something

[izzatuw]

I'd really only see its worth on certain abilities like Valkyr's 4th and Excalibur's EB, maybe it could be more of a solid weapon that forms similar to Glaive in the original Dark Sector

[Noioiy]

Geoff would be very upset :T

[DrunkKoalaWF]

Proceed. 

Yeeees. That'd be awsome.

[Damuranashi]

No.

[deathstar2190]

yea and if atlas gets one then he could get a different style for his first ablity 

something like maybe a double punch and the end or something like that

[MumblesMcphatty]

Not even vaguely worth the colossal workload to design and implement. We're talking months extra for every deluxe skin all for casting animations hardly anyone has time to notice in the heat of battle.

Though I guess from DE's perspective you could double to plat cost ...
