Stellar Blade's latest update introduces exciting new features, including significant "visual improvements" to combat animations, particularly affecting the character Eve.
Stellar Blade's Enhanced Physics
Noticeable Changes to Eve's Appearance, and More
(c) Stellar Blade on Twitter (X) The popular PS5 exclusive action game, Stellar Blade, recently received an update incorporating several enhancements. Previously temporary content from the Stellar Blade Summer Event is now a permanent, toggleable feature. Other additions include quality-of-life improvements, enhanced map markers, a new "Ammo Package" item for rapid ammo replenishment, and more. However, the most discussed change revolves around updated physics and their impact on Eve's visual representation.
As the Stellar Blade team announced, the physics update results in a more pronounced animation of Eve's chest area. Direct comparisons show a significant increase in movement compared to the pre-update version.
Shift Up, the developer, has consistently showcased Eve's figure prominently; this update simply amplifies this visual aspect. The physics changes extend beyond Eve, affecting how gear reacts to wind effects, creating a more realistic, "real-time CG" look, according to fan feedback.
However, the most noticeable change in movement is concentrated on Eve's chest, as shown in the provided GIFs.
A truly realistic physics implementation would likely also affect other elements, such as her hair.
