The words “motion capture” are like sweet music to my ears. I would have hoped by now the technology to mo-cap ourselves and import our movements, even if they were limited, would be a thing. Sadly, it’s not really a thing. With both FIFA and FIFA utilizing Xsens suits, the technology costs probably prevent this from happening, but the folks over at Strikerz, Inc. have brought us Episode 1 of their animation-based system with a inside look at how they are motion-capturing their athletes for the upcoming FIFA game.
Although it’s unclear what version of the Unreal Engine FIFA will utilize, it’s clear that this developer wants realistic animations that you can only achieve through motion capture. Movement is key to any soccer game, and the first one that implements foot-planting while also respecting inertia and momentum will surely reap the benefits and hopefully encourage both FIFA and FIFA to step their games up.
EA’s “Hypermotion” came with a lot of promise but failed to deliver on the realism they touted, although rarely do sports games get the first iteration of a major game component right — bugs and oddities are to be expected. In the FIFA video, you can see some smooth animations, especially when it comes to trapping the ball from the chest. It’s still early days for the FIFA as there isn’t an official release date just yet (beyond it coming in 2022), but this video combined with the gameplay reveal together look very promising.
From a gameplay standpoint, there’s still a lot left unanswered. Regardless, the brief clips I watched fall somewhere in between what we have in FIFA 23. For a first release, the gameplay and the fact that it’s free should make it worth checking out. Being marketed towards the competitive crowd is probably the smart business move, but for those of us like myself who long for a game with a good offline career campaign, we’re probably going to be left out in the cold once again.
