In my opinion the new animations look atrocious. And I think the main two problems that contribute to that are:
- Everything looks animated independently. Instead of your character having a run animation, it's like only the legs are running. Instead of your character picking up an item, your arms just go there and grab it. Instead of using your arm for clicking your device, it's completely static and you just robotically move your wrist.
-For some reason your first person view is completely identical to your model. When you are looking up, only the camera needs to look up and the head model should only slighty tilt upwards. There's no reason for your head to go 90 degrees looking at the sky. The 1st person view and the game model do not have to match. You can make more natural looking poses that other players see while your 1st person view is made to look good to you.
