I always found it weird that AssCreed buildings had no doors, but this is a really good explanation hehe
This isn't about the doors having 240p textures, so, nah. Read the OP
You know what, it's not the first time I've heard this.
Devs from tactical games like Rainbow Six or SWAT 4 have spoken about the same exact thing, how doors, even if totally normal for the players, require quite a lot of work from the AI side, as the break a lot of conceptions they have about the environment, which is what they use to make decisions.

Sounds like a giant pain in the ass, interesting read thanks op. I can't remember what game (maybe RE2 Remake?) but I recall being blown away that zombies could actually bust some of them down. No clue if that was a more scripted thing vs the clearly dynamic states having to be accounted for in TLOU II.
RE2 Remake had that thing where zombies could not get inside of a room with a door, even if the door was wide open, it would mysteriously close on its own. Except for Mr.X of course.
Look at doors in the Hitman series. No character animation on opening or closing, and most of them, once opened, will just swing shut on their own after a bit. Probably has to do with the difficulties described here.
I'm glad Cold War added doors back in Zombies. A noticeable downgrade from Modern Warfare not having doors in MP.
Doors are definitely tricky though, especially in VR games.
I had no idea Assassins Creed games still don't have doors.

I think in RE3 Remake enemies will stop pursuing you if you are in between a door; like they dont know how to handle you. And you could take cheap shots at them.
I could be misremembering, but I remember the AI getting kinda wonky when you were in the door frame.

Wasn't there a Witcher 3 door patch that completely broke the game and progression?

When it comes to prgramming, I've found that the thing that everybody expects to be super difficult is easy and the thing that everyone thinks is basic is actually super hard. A computer can do a thousand math problems instantaneously but can barely tell a dog from a cat or a car from a truck.
RE makes had a few areas line that. I think it was all loading or memory related. But it broke immersion for sure.
I swear it's always the most innocuous shit that's hardest for animators and programmers lol
I feel like getting hair right is still going to be a struggle even a decade or so from now... Poor hair, you do nothing but look fabulous and blow in the wind.
I think I heard a few years ago that one character handing another character an item was the single toughest thing to animate.
It's cool to hear the inside baseball about what is tough or relatively easy to accomplish in game development.

He didn't actually put out 100 tweets, just an exaggeration of all the things they had to think about while implementing doors.
Hitman has pretty great doors, though Hitman 3 introduced a bug where enemies sometimes phase through doors. I assume that probably pretty hard to fix judging by the tweets lmao.
I know that the thread is talking about something completely different but I 100 percent came here hoping to see this joke
COD Modern Warfare has the best doors. The have such a good feel and sound when you open them. Compared to the doors in Cold War Outbreak its night and day.
That's a camera issue moreso than a player design one.
The real kicker is when you notice that every interior in a 3rd person game has massive vaulted ceilings everywhere. The humblest shack has a nice 12-14 foot ceiling in it (again, camera issue).
