Thanks. I think in that vid the framerate was 130fps, can't remember but it was over 100fps for sure. I know with 180 enemy AI onscreen we were still getting 30fps on a decent computer. We even had a rig run the game with 400 AI and was getting playable framerates lol. The goal for me would be around 60fps with 40 AI onscreen on most PCs.
Yeah we're thinking about maybe a zoom like you were talking about for the throat bite etc, didn't think about that for special attacks though, not a bad idea
