| Crazymann said: Hmmm, I think the mouth will be the last thing that programmers get right in their quest for photo-realism. Her mouth and teeth just look wrong. And the speach modeling is humorously off. All games have this problem though. The lipstick looks as if it was rendered with 2 polygons and textured (last gen style), and the application brush seemed low-poly and did not flex as it should. This wouldn't be as big an issue if the rest of the game wasn't so good looking. Good overall, Uncharted 2 is better for what it does, IMO. |
That's the bottom line, right there.... They're doing a lot of cool, impressive stuff... But things like the animation on the girl in the chair holding the gun, the mouth, this video, the way the guy walks and gestures during the warehouse convo... They stand out glaringly against otehr parts. The face and gun in the "crying girl with gun" scene look like they were photoshopped into a bad poser video, and the animation of the arms looks like a marionette being controlled by someone with a nerve disorder, whereas the fine motor skills in other scenes, like moving things over in the hand of a character, the emotion in the eyes, things like that are superb.
They need to do a lot of hard polishing on it. This game will either be stunning or jarringly incongruous. I'm planning on getting it, because I really enjoyed Indigo Prophecy, but so far the trailers have been nothing but dissapointing, if only because it shows such potential in some areas, and seems like they have no business making a next gen video game in the next.
Also: I played Heavenly Sword... There is no excuse for games to have such poor facial animations on the whole anymore. Eyes and mouths always look so fake, especially after seeing the superb work on that game.
