Female Warframe Walk Animation Should Be More... Feminine.

[ValhaHazred]

Let alone that these are people in Exosuits, so there's nothing particularly to jiggle. I mean, when's the last time you saw jiggling plate armor breasts?

I decided to Google "jiggling plate armor breasts" and this happened...

I don't know why, but this pleases me. 

[CloudPies]

Sure, so long as its togglable and I can also apply it to any male warframes of my choosing. Prancing Frost here I come!! >:D

[Deaths.Reap3r]

YES!!!! add a sexy walk animation to saryn and i will have a boner every time i start a mission!

wut.

[ValhaHazred]

I don't know why, but this pleases me.

I don't think that animator has ever seen a breast. It's not so much jiggling as flexing. I think she's smuggling Shoggoths in her armour.

[GeoTron]

I honestly don't like the idea of every female character having "Super Sensual Feminine Walks," but I think the Sayrn needs it. I mean, for lotus's sake, she looks like a unique and beautiful rose that's obsessed with beauty!!!!

 

....but I dunno, that's just my opinion....

For the record "feminine walk" is not the same as "sexualized walk".

The very existence of a "feminine walk" is evidence of sexualization. Which isn't a problem unless you're a tumblr feminist, but lets not pretend society didn't make up the idea. Just look at how scientific this documentation on "feminine walking" is.

 

[Drachyench]

For the record "feminine walk" is not the same as "sexualized walk".

The example used is "Catwoman", so I think you'll need to explain that to a few users here. 

[ValhaHazred]

Yeah, if the example was nuLara Croft there wouldn't be an argument. She moves like a savage survivor first, a woman second.

What we need are animations that read Noble Warrior Woman, not Seductress.

[Combustionsquirrel]

No, just no. This is a game about space ninjas killing rampaging clones, robots, and diseased, mutated people. Like an earlier comment said, go to Scarlet Blade or a game like that for that stuff.

[SilentCynic]

Go take a look at Skyrim mods, for instance. Most gamers sure as hell can't tell the difference. Rather insulting, actually.

[NoirProxy]

Don't they use in-house staff to do VO and motion capture? So let's hope Rebecca, or Meridith can walk the walk :p

[FlanShark]

Bad thread and you should feel bad, OP

s'this kind of drivel that got us saryn's tenno high heels

[FlanShark]

"I demand Nova be given cameltoe. It's nothing to do with sexualisation, after all, women do have crotches IRL!"

"I don't think the walk/run cycle reflects accurately the centre of gravity on the tenno bodies. So make it sexy."

D:

look if you genuinely can't see why this is a bad request: it's because you're declaring that walking a specific way is "feminine" and thus that if women don't walk like that, they have an unfeminine walk. Clear?

Lore states warframes are suits and not avatars, yes? so it's literally the same creature walking. It's the same skeleton. Leave it how it bloody is for that reason alone, if not out of bare-minimum respect for the situation of women in society ._.

[saltshaker42]

one of the reasons why I like this game so much is that they don't try to make the female warframes look sexy. I don't wanna go into battle with huge boobs that bounce around every step I take. I don't want to look sexy while I murder things. I just wanna kill things. I like how the female warframes are now.

 

Sex appeal doesn't work on me, and in fact turns me off. I would much rather the female frames walk like badasses than like prissy prom queens who are too afraid to get their hands dirty.

 

I always thought of the female frames as Samus from the Metroid series. Serious, and not always flirty. I can't stress this enough. I hate when sex appeal is implemented on female characters in video games, because it ruins the "our race / planet / way of life is in danger" feel that these modern games have.

 

How would you feel if at the end of Halo 3 Miranda Keys strutted out of her pelican and... Idk there was a magical strip pole in the room and she started dancing. That would ruin the game for me, and my childhood, and I wouldn't be the same person I am now.

 

The point is, just because they're girls, doesn't mean they have to be "sexy." I actually prefer smaller boobs, and "manlier" hip movements, because that tells me I can appreciate these girls who are serious about getting the job done right. If you wanna see "sexy" girls fighting, just watch anime.

 

Other than that I appreciate what you're saying, and that you're willing to voice your opinion, and that you're a 3d animator. I actually would love to be an animator myself, and I think you're lucky to have that skill. Please don't ruin it by setting up obstacles like that for yourself. All women don't have to be feminine, and all men don't have to be masculine. Characters should be unique in how they act, and everything they do should reflect that. A well designed character probably wouldn't like battle, but act like a white teenage girl named Ashley.   

[Misgenesis]

I made a thread about this subject with the word ''slightly'' in the title a few weeks back.

[Kasamoto]

I for one would welcome a more feminine run/walk and idle animation.

They shouldn't move like on a catwalk though, that would be too much.

[vasRayya]

Yeah, me too.

What? If volt is a chick then she's as flat as hell.

[ValhaHazred]

Yes Volt is a man. That was the POINT.

[Urash]

Volt's fabulosity cannot be contained.

[Lampshade]

 you must have seen what makes Catwoman such an incredibly sexy character, is the walk / run cycle,( and all of the other attack / event animations) and not a big chest.

 

 

i'd rather stare at badasses than just badonks so no to sexy women being in muh space ninjas but i can agree with dif attack animations to a more fluid fighting style.

i like you

[Kesella]

Judging by how DE design the female warframes visually I doubt there is much to worry about if they make male/female animations that they will be over the top.  Just enough to define male/female should be fine and get rid of some ugly animations (broad shoulder Mag with Kogake) should be enough.  Although the teams other idea of a Heavy/Mid/Light weight animations might do the job as well.

[Kyte]

I think they said they'd go both M/F and L/M/H.
