did you check out the entire OP? Would you like to have a game where the characters look like those robots? and read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley It explains why games can't get too photo realism. I'm all for great looking games, but this got me thinking that photo realistic hraphics might back fire... |
but games won't look like this robot, you clearly see this is a "human robot" and we will never get a game which will have humans look like this robot as long as it isn't a a game about those robots in households or whatever.
humans in computer games will always look like a computer model as long as they won't look 100% real and they will never look as a real life robot which is made to look like a human. so comparing robots with possible computer models of humans is the wrong way in my opinion. if you really want to show how bad this can be in games you would have to show a computer model of a human and not a robot of the real world.
maybe there are examples of some cgi movies which flopped because of that uncanny valley feeling for people? wasn't there this movie with angelina jolie and other computer models? don't remember the name anymore but i believe i remember that some didn't like it because of this "computer movie which tries to look like reality"
