Jak 3: Guard Animations - Shield?!?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- The guards in Jak 3 are basically just copy-pasted directly from Jak II, including most of their animations. But it seems they wanted to give them shield mechanics at some point. We have already seen the unused shield sphere of the guards, which was likely just a placeholder.
We can safely assume that the shield animations seen in this video were going to be accompanied by a shield model as well.
Having actors with physical shields was something that Naughty Dog already worked with. See the "Centurion" enemy of Jak II for example.
We can believe that if they wanted to implement it for the guards, they could have done so because they had the necessary expertise and experience. So maybe they cut it because it didn't feel good in gameplay?
Recorded in OpenGOAL. The extra yellow parts you see are due to a bug in Anim Tester X, which is a feature implemented by OpenGOAL developers. It is not yet added to Jak 3, but I tried adding it myself locally and it seems that it is working.

What it feels like to flee into Sector 6.
I love watching animations in general, you can see the amount of care and detail many of these people did for these games. I also find it funny this dropped the same day a ND interview dropped talking about various things, including animation and how "hand-animating is now obsolete".
Haha that is just a coincidence. I recorded this yesterday evening but I was too tired to edit and publish it.
It's not impossible that the shield might have looked like the logo he wears.
0:16 my reaction to receiving new fun jak trivia after so long
It's crazy that after all those years, you keep finding these interesting things
Honestly it would've made sense to have the guards with the bubble shields during the war. Wonder why they decided to cut it.
First I find out about the shields and now i find out that they have shield animations left over in the game. This is genuinely amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a shield model, it was likely removed long ago.. From the animation it is evident that guards were going to have shields on their backs that they could equip.
@@LuminarLightYeah definitely looks like they would. I'm sure the community will find a way to have it be used with there mod given enough time. Right after this is finished of course.
I honestly cant get enough of your videos, i love the jak series so much and every one of your videos i watch i learn something, keep up the good stuff!!
Wow, that is cool. Can you make a citizens animations?
looks like it was meant to be like a wrist-mounted buckler
can't wait to have jak light wings mods where you can fly freely without the shield glitch : )
No real need for OpenGOAL for that. Just change how much height you gain when flapping. By default, even with best timing, it is just not enough to maintain your height.
yooo that's is crazy
That's awesome. Looks like that Jak wasn't the only one to get side walk after all. I think it could be intersting to see Krimson gards defending some of them while the others are attacking the enemies. Do u think the shield was already made or not yet, meaning that only the animations were made at this point ?
I highly doubt that the animations were made without a physical shield model already existing. But the model is gone now, nowhere to be found.
@@LuminarLight Too bad there is nothing left. Looks like the community will have some fun to imagine a new one.
Perhaps it was a good thing the shield was left unused. 1. It would only make sense in Jak 2 when guards attack you all the time. 2. It would make Jak's Eco Shield™ less speshul.
