Pigeon eating croissant <cheap animation>

General Discussion

In the paris map preview animation the pigeon is eating a croissant. Does the pigeons animation seem really bad for a blizzard release. I know the budget has been getting slashed. Blizzard used to be better then this

Better than anything I could make in blender

Considering they programmed a fully fumctional piano, and even thought to put pidgeons in the map, I’m not terribly concerned about it. I can’t think of any other instance where they decided to include any animal life into a map prior to this.

Forget hero 30, divert all development resources to pigeon animation NOW.

Doesn’t really count, but you can hear the woodpeckers that triggered Bastion’s PTSD in his cinematic on Eichenwalde. Always appreciated that detail.

I mean, yes why not, details supposed to be important dont you think :stuck_out_tongue:
Im wonder myself how much is cut out of every map they wona do just to put it as functional one in game.

it’s something that is totally unimportant, but its a sign of lack of polish that blizzard used to prize.

First off, who left their crossiant unfinished? Poor pigeon might get sick because of that.

Isn’t it just one of Bastion’s birds that goes with one of his skins?
