The Sims 2 Vs. The Sims 3

<< < (3/14) > >>

jezzer:
Sims 3 is animated much more fluidly.  Whenever Sims 2 sims make faces, it looks like someone working the parts on a ventriloquist's dummy, and they mug and grimace ALL.  THE.  TIME.  The "first woohoo" cutscene is enough to give you nightmares for life.  Go over to MTS and look at the custom sims people have uploaded.  TS3 Sims look so much better now than TS2.

J. M. Pescado:
I have to disagree with "animated fluidly". In TS2, sims running from point A to point B smoothly ran from point A to point B, up the stairs, down the stairs, through doors, around corners, etc. In TS3, they run with this kind of odd waddle like they've just shit their pants and are trying not to smear it around too much, and they pass through stairs and doorways often in this kind of odd stop-start jerkiness. Social animations are decidely standoffish and stiff, with noticeable pauses for no apparent reason, as if they were the acting version of William Shatner's speaking. All in all, animation is not one of the improvements TS3 exhibits over TS2. They LOOK better, yes. But they do not move better.

Jeebus:
Sims in TS3 handle like large battlecruisers.

jezzer:
I meant facial animations, Pescado.  TS2 sims' faces have much more visible distortion of the features.

Dark Trepie:
If you enjoy games that crash a lot for no apparent reason then TS3 is for you.  Playing this game is like holding a bottle of nitroglycerine while in the middle of a large crowd.  Eventually someone is going to bump into you.  And no one will be happy with the results.

Also, TS2 runs about a million times better and faster.
