Did you guys see the original tech demo for Heavy Rain? Talk about uncanny valley material. Ugh.

The animations make the entire thing very awkward and down right freaky, imo. The eyes don't help either.

Eyes? I think the eyes look fine. The freaky part is the entire mouth area, it just doesn't move right when she talks.

Yeah, the facial animations were the main problem. The eyes stick out a bit to me at least.

I found disturbing both eyes and mouth, eyes looked as those of a down girl that had badly executed plastic surgery, the mouth looked catatonic.

OTOH I found body motion quite well done, she moved really like a very shy and clumsy amateur actress at an audition.

Lips and mouth was to flat inside. Anyway, so many wrongs about it and still soo good! the future will be scarry!
