The game looks like a CG cartoon, but the animations need to be improved. The animations look like they are from a current-gen game instead of a next-gen video game. However, the gameplay sounds pretty interesting so we'll see how this turns out. |
Where can you see animations? Is there a video?

Oh. But I think the animations looked quite good even for a CG cartoon, or at least good enough for a video game.
However I personally never dreamt of a Toy story style game (but I've dreamt of Bug's Life style graphics). I don't like this graphics style at all. But the gameplay definitely sounds interesting.

Ever hear of a Nick cartoon called Fanboy and Chum Chum? The art style in that show isn't so far removed from the art style of Fortnite. But the key difference is the animation quality (you can argue that the show is aweful, but that's not my point, btw).

The animations in Fanboy and Chum Chum look like it fits the overall athestics of the show, and doesn't look out of place when watching it. Fortnite has graphics that are pretty dang close to the show, but the animations are no where near that quality. In fact, they look out of place compared to the rest of the athestics . Yes, the animations themselves are passable for a current-gen game. However, with graphics that have received the leap that they did, you'd think that the animation would receive similar treatment. Yet, that doesn't appear to be the case.

Honestly I don't see it. There's a difference in style but I can't see the one being better quality than the other. The Epic game seemed to have more realistic animation while the cartoon show had more jerky cartoonish style animations.
If you are good at judging animation I trust your opinion about the quality though.

It's possible that you're right and I'm wrong. I watched the trailer again and maybe I was jumping to conclusions too soon. I'll take back what I said and wait until some gameplay is released before I make a final judgement.
