The latest Stellar Blade update introduces several new features, including visual enhancements to character animations. Developer Shift Up specifically mentions "visual improvements of conflicts between EVE's body," resulting in noticeable changes.
Stellar Blade's Enhanced Physics
Updated Visuals and Gameplay Enhancements
(c) Stellar Blade on Twitter (X) Shift Up's recent update for the popular PS5 action game includes the permanent addition of the previously time-limited Summer Event. This feature, along with quality-of-life improvements, new map markers, and a convenient "Ammo Package" item, enhances the overall gameplay experience. However, the most discussed change centers around the updated physics engine and its impact on character visuals.
The update noticeably increases the animation of EVE's body, resulting in a more pronounced jiggling effect. Comparisons between "before" and "after" GIFs clearly showcase this alteration.
While Shift Up has never shied away from EVE's design, this update amplifies the visual presentation. The enhanced physics also affect equipment movement in windy conditions, creating a more realistic and visually appealing effect, described by some fans as "real-time CG."
However, the increased jiggling effect seems primarily focused on EVE's chest area.
A more comprehensive physics implementation might also affect other elements, such as hair movement, for greater realism.
