Japan will make the first videogame to make use of this.

David Cage's Heavy Rain gave me more thrill than this "oh so perfect" technology. (I'm only talking about graphics here since we don't know much about this game other than its predecessor sucks)

That one's extremely bizarre too.

"Why would you want to create a computer-generated photo-realistic animation of a person when you could just film the real thing against a green screen?"

Have you ever seen green screening in games? It looks awful. And it's impractical. If we never pushed mocap forward, we'd still be playing Pong.

LOLz. Even creepier seeing the interest this shit stirs up. Given the choice I would prefer human every time, who wants this kind of future?

It doesn't bother me really. A computer-generated female would probably have more personality than most real females anyway.

Man has a point.

I always thought the animation in Heavy Rain lacking quite a bit too, especially in the mouth area.

I think they should just forget about this ridiculous realism, at least until they ahve the technology to really do it well. I think people will be more creeped out than anything by human likeness...imagine killing that in a video game.

...imagine killing that in a video game.

I'm with mu on this. What the fuck are you guys talking about?

Also, the point isn't to accurately depict reality, but rather to accurately depict a photoshopped reality. Can't say I object, tbh. (needs moar bloom)

Her eyes and mouth look weird. And not weird as in, ugly-weird. Inhumanly weird. Disappointing.

I agree, it looks good until you look at the parts of the face that actually matter.

Here's a better quality video.

If I hadn't been told beforehand this was animation I don't think I would have noticed. On closer inspection some things are off, but on a cursory glance? I didn't see it at least.

SHOTA RAPE!!!

 

[bossjimbob]

Very impressive, but I'd have to see a full-screen HD version to really give an honest opinion.

The march towards ever more frightening and disturbing porn continues. It shouldn't be long before we see this level of realism in games then.

 

[ushdugery]

I don't mind it'll keep gettting better until graphics are so good no one cares about them getting much better any more and we can properly focus on gameplay

 

[Fez]

So I've heard. It's going to be a long winter though.

 

[The Vanished One]

I don't mind it'll keep gettting better until graphics are so good no one cares about them getting much better any more and we can properly focus on gameplay

By then the graphics will be so expensive that gameplay will be entirely removed.
