That's not to say it's impossible because it certainly is possible, but it's important to understand the difference between seeing a single character animate in dead space versus the same character animating in a live environment surrounded by countless other resource taxing assets. That said, seeing this and noticing a few items in that set, I'm becoming suspicious of who else is behind this, but in a good way.

You are the ultimate debby downer. We've had so much strife with Madden, just a bit of happiness would be nice. Just. A. Bit.

False hope isn't happiness.

That assessment is totally inaccurate, and honestly, ridiculous. I had no idea that speaking logically was somehow negative.

I've been supportive of this from day one, before you even knew it existed, and unlike most I don't care if it's mobile, I will still be supporting it. Will you?

What game mobile game motion cap? I serious doubt a company would waste money on motion capture for a mobile game. I put mobile gaming in the same category as penny stocks!


I was asking for an official thread to change the title (take off Mobile game)

Boxing game boasting motion capture from real boxers:

A funded Kickstarter for a mobile-related motion capture suite:

That's with just a quick search, I'm sure if I spent more than 30 seconds on Google I could find more.

Ok, well hope we have is none of those games have the graphics like from the Montana clip.

The problem that they (whatever studio is behind this game) are going to run into - if this is still just a mobile game - is the low amount of RAM on mobile devices. Even the newest toys - the iPhone 6, iPhone 6S, and the newest iPads - only have 1GB of RAM. While that's double of the XBOX 360 and PS3, that's far less than what's available on the PS4 (8GB), XBOX One (effectively 5GB, but 8GB total), and even Wii U (2GB). Android tablets fare better to this end, the best ones nowadays seeing as much as 3GB RAM, but it's still a major limiting factor in asset-intensive games.

In short, everything - the textures, the meshes, the audio, the animations - is going to end up getting compressed if lots of assets are needed at runtime, which while ultimately dependent on how the game is written is absolutely the case in a football game speaking high-level. It won't look as fluid as what's in the clip above, most certainly.

Whoa there, Defensive. I cracked a joke and I'm now inferior? Bet your aunt's oatmeal cookies I'll support it.
