This is what the Pirate band will sound like! Sounds great. Would be perfect if Frontier implemented custom music through speakers.

The movement too fast and not robot style like Animatronics have. They shake too strong, if they should be animatronics, they would get much time out of commission in real, because these shaking actions with their bodies, no figure, even the modern ones, could do that for long [big grin]

The ape's face reactions are not realistic too for an animatronic.

But it comes near to it. If they should be animatronics i would suggest to the developers to watch some videos in youtube there you can see how such figures move right.
 
Along with the idea for our own music.

If we could have our own for this band, we could use the music that the band plays in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and if we could get a few more musicians as time goes by as DLC for instance to add to the band, this could be a very powerful tool for us.
 
There's no way that those are animatronics.
Three more weeks...
Having had a really good look at the movement, I have to agree with you, that they are not actually animatronic as such. They are just like the rest of the guests, that have been animated.

Hmmm ... I agree that they are "too well animated" to be considered like "robots" but we still see very well the hatched and repetitive movements no ?

I'd agree with you if this were the 90s. It's 2016, have you seen how far we've come with technology in animatronics?

I agree. Now the animatronics are amazing.

But, upon reflection, maybe it's better to be more into caricature, to show that it is an animatronic just to avoid confusion ?

Just a thought...
I dont know.

I don't really see how "confusion" would be a problem here. Animatronics are typically placed in restricted areas and repeat movements.

It is not about how it looks, it looks very good. It is about how they move, and that is too fast for animatronics and not the typical mechanical/robot style, but that is the main thing when they should be animatronics, i wrote my wish at the other thread what the devs should do better with the animatronics, but they do it again not so right, how it has to be.

The move ability is for sure very limited and there are always just 3-4 different but same movements in a unlimited time loop, maybe the pirates could stop move, when the song finishes.

Not "would be", but "is" !

"Animatronics or Entertainers ?" is something that I saw a lot. Some people (More than I would have thought to be honest) just dont understand that they are animatronics.
On the forums, in english, in french, on social networks ... This may be symptomatic of something I guess.

I personally do not care because I'm capable to make the difference, but this is apparently not the case for all. Perhaps the "animatronic concept" must be more "caricatural" to be effective. Like I said it's "just a thought", like an open question to Frontier.

So, even if the animatronics move almost like humans now, maybe they should move like old 90's robots to avoid confusion in the mind of many people.

It is not about how it looks, it looks very good. It is about how they move [...]
Yeah, this is what I said with "They are 'too well animated' to be considered as robots" [yesnod]

It's honestly not as big a deal as people make it out to be. Since this is a CHC "leak" I don't really know the backstory for it...but 90% of the things people complain about aren't as big a deal as they make it out to be. So far the only valid- Planet Coaster specific- complaint has been with regards to the interior designer and how the walls don't connect to the paths- leaving a gap where you can see the grass.

What truly annoys me is how people keep treating this game as if it's a some sort of Disneyland simulator.
"Disneyland this- Disneyland that-" "It's not like that in Disneyland. blah blah blah."
Petition Disney if you want a Disneyland simulator, otherwise learn to appreciate Planet Coaster for what it is- A spiritual successor to the beloved RCT franchise. etc. etc.

Thank you so much. :)

Would you care to explain why you replied to Milkman's post with an annoying gif since you're so enlightened about sim games?
Sure. Because of this :

I was just ... speechless reading this comment ...

What did you expect ? People taking a small amusement park in the depths of an old country of eastern Europe as reference ? Come on !!! Disneyland Parks are the best, the biggest, the most visited and certainly the best themed parks in the world.

Seriously ? What did you expect ??? Frontier saying "Yeah, we are making a theme park sim game, but please, dont talk about the biggest theme park ever"

I just dont understand why people with very low expectations, and wishing for a "correct" game are here ? I mean, it's a discussion forum dedicated to give feedback to the developpers and to talk possible improvements. It's the goal of all this ...

I just dont get it.
 
Well, I guess they look more like entertainers since to look like 90s animatronic they would possibly need a different rigging and this would cost time?

Honestly: I didn't even expect stuff like this to be in the game at launch, especially not that great looking. I'm amazed and love it. Could not care less if they look a bit to smooth.
