LA Noir has impressive facial animation technology. That's it. They don't look real to me. In fact they look very cartoony. The animation technology gives them very expressive faces, but the face as a whole is no more realistic than Enslaved or Crysis 2 or any of the other high end gaming engines. The old man above is a lot more realistic than the LA Noir faces, but since he's less cartoony he falls further into the uncanny valley while LA Noir teaters on the edge.

You quite clearly don't understand the uncanny valley - go watch the actual Nividia presentation as it's obvious you haven't.


I do understand it I'm just not using it as a scientific term. I'm using it in it's common usage. And I did watch the Nvidia video as well as the live PS4 Quantic Dreams presentation. And I've played LA Noir.

They all fail to simulate the human face in a photorealistic manner. LA Noir is too cartoony to be creepy, but the ld man and the Nvidia demo try their hardest to not be creepy and fail.
