Halo Infinite : I want animated cover art to be a thing now
- Thread starter CliveLH
- Start date
Tidal has this for a fair few albums and for some it's really good and others not so much, would be a cool toggleable feature
I think animated cover art for all games would look a bit too busy on the dashboard to my liking but animated background is very cool.
you just pick whatever image you want for whatever game you want on the grid view
if you pick an animated PNG then it's basically a gif (it's not but you know what I mean)
there are databases where people share them and most of them look really good and impressive
ohhhhhhhhhh shit, that's awesome. I assume developers can also make their offical ones animated if they so desire?

I think it would look dope on some Xbox Game Pass UI with every cover. Maybe only animate the game being focused by the controller tho.Yup!
But I guess what OP wants is cover art for physical box?

I think you would only animate what the controller is currently selecting. A bit like on Netflix when it starts a trailer for the current show/movie.
Yup!

what's that spaceship game
edit: nvm figured out that it says Endless Space 2

Looks like Endless Space 2 from the logo. Which is absolutely not like what the animated cover would imply ha. It's a 4X space game.
Can you turn it off? I think I'd kinda hate it if all thumbnails were animated like this at all times. The idea of only running the animation for the game that's currently selected sounds good to me.Yup!

That'd be great. I've noticed a few games having it on Steam, but i'd love for consoles to have it as well.
If that's a grappling hook, I need to be able to grapple to a friendly warhog to slingshot myself towards a banshee to hijack it at high speeds.

Yeah me too. But maybe if it only animated when you hovered the cursor over it? So it just animates the one that is selected. Could be cool.
This was the hypest shit back in 2008. It was the perfect way to start the game for the first time.
That would be dope, though they need to fix the sound because on ps3 it was a nightmare half the time
Yeah, sadly it's always animated on Steam, since it's just replacing the original art with an animated gif. Animation based on selection would be dope. Actually, Steam has such a feature too for game trailers, they call it micro trailers. But it's a different topic.
Yer. It needs to be "anchored" in some way. The background can shift somewhat or whatever, but the entire thing should still be recognizable at a glance. If the whole scene is shifting constantly, no thank you. Here, it looks good cuz Chief stays right in place.

Yeah this would be cool, to animate the cover art when you hover the mouse over/select the game.
Wait is this automatic? This is really damn cool.Yup!

No thanks. That would give me a headache when I'm looking at my library and there's dozens of thumbnails squirming around lol
It would be too much for the whole library at once imo, but if whatever game / tile you had selected then became animated, that would be cool.
I'm all for the grappling hook as it's a neet way of opening up traversal options in game. However logistically, I can help but scratch my head at how that little thing is supposed to lift 1,000 pounds (450 kg) Spartan, not including any gear being carried at the time.
Brute in the visor? Grappling hook?
There was a leak quite some time ago showing a grapple hook being tested in an infinite sandbox environment. . So that kind of makes sense.
If it's hooked into the suit, it stands to reason it may be powered by the suit, not a self-contained little thing.
At any rate, it's a universe where ships travel by slipping between dimensions essentially. My suspension of disbelief can handle a grapple hook, haha.
It's a universe where orbital tethers exist. It's completely plausible in that context.
