It's the year 2026, why aren't the interactions in between missions fully animated cutscenes?
>>23889566Because this works well.
>>23889566Because they'd look worse. Just see any 3d character model game.
Because this is what we are used to and they look Great. This has been a thing since the '90s VN games on the PC 88 and PC 98. We love these big fat detailed sprites that take up half the screen.

>>23889566Because it'd blow up to budget to crazy levels. Also would heavily limit the characters involved if everyone had to be voiced. People already complain about HD graphics resulting in less new units per game.Also, you haven't mentioned it, but "partial animation" is pointless. Several VNs tried using 3d models with more complex animation than just standing portraits, but not fully animated anime, and those VNs didn't get sales boost, so you barely see newer games trying that hybrid approach.
>>23889566>It's the year 2026Seriously, why people think just because this is THE FUTURE every game needs to show off presentation/budget flair similar to fucking GTA or a ArcSys fightan animation?
>>23889566Massive increase in production without any real increase in revenue, that's why.
>>23889618Frankly I think even the inclusion of voice acting has done more harm than good
>>23889566Why does a unified world government need a foreign minister?
That game was released in 2025 STUPID>>23891321aliens
