Stellar Blade's latest update introduces several exciting features, including a permanent Summer Event and numerous quality-of-life improvements. These enhancements encompass map improvements with new mark pins, the convenient "Ammo Package" for instant ammo replenishment, and more. However, the most discussed change centers around updated physics, particularly impacting the visual representation of Eve's character model.
The update boasts "visual improvements of conflicts between EVE's body," resulting in a noticeably more pronounced jiggle effect, particularly noticeable in her chest area. While Shift Up has consistently embraced a less-than-subtle approach to Eve's design, this update amplifies this aspect considerably. The enhanced physics also affect other elements, such as gear movement in windy conditions, which has been praised by some players as creating a more realistic, "real-time CG" effect.
While the increased jiggle effect is most apparent in Eve's chest, the consistency of the physics engine across the entire character model could be further refined. For instance, a more realistic application of physics might also affect her hair, creating a more cohesive and believable animation. The updated physics, therefore, presents a mixed bag, delighting some with its enhanced visual flair while prompting others to question its overall consistency. The images below further illustrate the differences before and after the update.
