The emotional character driven story should be the main show, which is enabled by having the tech. I hope that they don't end up with super real characters doing and saying stuff I don't really care about. Having said all that the preview demo is really well done so maybe it's only the marketing guys with the fixation on…
[ QUOTE ] you guys are rediculous a company shows new technology and the ability to make games (and characters specifically) more expressive and realistic than any in history, and all you can do is hate and nitpick. Wah wah the skin isnt perfect. There isn't a single piece of art on our planet that doesn't have something…
[ QUOTE ] http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=GT0W1PLTmN0 Huh Huh? Come on [/ QUOTE ] I haven't watched the latest clip it still loading, but I just watched the old youtube link and how can anyone be proud if that? EDIT: Just watched a pair of eyes and kept waiting to see the rest of the face react. Hopefully they fixed the…
I think someone has to make a whole new rig that really emulates the muscle structure found in a face. All I see is a hole that is supposed to be a mouth open and close while audio plays. Granted, it's not *that* bad, but it still is jarring to see. Her lips don't appear to move over her teeth and wrinkles don't form as…
Corpse Puppet FTW. Agree with Arsh, what's the tech here, it's a close up of a head that may or may not be practical to be in an actual game. Like Sony rendering Doc Ocs head on a PS3... yeah good for you, you got a good looking head, maybe it can be a floating head and it has to eat floating popcorn coming towards them…
Hah, silly wording. Basically, by your logic bugs bunny is in the uncanny valley. He's not. Being out of the uncanny valley does not imply full realism. Anyways, I don't really care either way. I don't think the tech demo was amazing, it was too short and vague for that. What it did show was more impressive facial…

This isn't nitpicking. The company made a claim this is easily refuted. For all I know, it's a cheap marketing strategy to advertise their game (interactive movie?). Looks great, but nothing amazing. The untrained eye says "omg they're right", and then it's all over the web for debate. Publicity. These days when I hear…
again not something that needs to be "implemented" in code.. we do this, its part of the rig, no programmers required. its just a matter of is it important to your game. crying eyeball tear tech is great for a game that involves you doing tons of crying and twitchy eyeball movements close up in a camera.. but the reason we…
