They managed to stay out of the uncanny valley in quite a few places.

I know, which impressed me a ton. The bit when they had just the actor and the head side-by-side really shows how good this stuff is.

The mouths are awesome.
Goddamn shame the bodies are still standard Rockstar assy mc ass ass.
My uncanny valley sense kicks in when I see the neck do awkward things when attached to a lifeless husk. Protip: Don't stare at the neck.

Ugh, the skin. Right in uncanny valley. The texture on the skin is just super waxy. Very good graphics and movement, but my god the skin texture. |

Watching it again, that's what was bothering me in the head only shots. |

The necks didn't really bother so much as the lack of shoulder movement at times. The rest looks good and if I wasn't looking for strangeness, I probably wouldn't notice it while playing (except for the diner scene with the female character, that definitely felt off).

That actually does look pretty cool, but I have to agree with schild. The bodies are shitasticly animated.

I'm wondering how it is going to play as a game. Cops of the time could get away with a lot, but probably not GTA-level death counts.

I like the setting, and the mechanics seem interesting. The facial capture stuff is fantastic, even i the rest of the animation is pretty uncanny valley, especially by comparison.

Once I noticed the head and the body do not ... work right, I could not stop staring at it.  It's still pretty impressive, don't get me wrong, but eek! |

I am now really stoked for this game. I was mildly interested before, but that gameplay trailer really hit the highlights. I love that setting. As long as the shooty bits aren't assy, this should be very good.

It looks like it'll be mirrored after Red Dead.

Just another victim of cyber age discrimination.

If it's mirrored after RDR, then the shooty bits will be sufficiently non-annoying (albeit auto-aim fire auto-aim fire) that I'm possibly even going to buy it, even if it doesn't come for the PC. That surprises me a bit, I have to admit.

This. The only face/head tech I've seen that looks good outside the Mafia series. |

Looks pretty good, but I can't help but think, how does this make for a better game. It's not exactly going to work for anything interactive.

What do you mean? If you mean the facial recognition stuff you should check out the video in the OP.

I mean that it's just a way to do cutscenes or dialog. Good looking precanned animations is all it is in the end. |

I thought the point was that you would have to determine if the person you are talking to is lying based upon the cues in the facial animations. In that case, isn't it important that they be very lifelike? |

To me that just conjures the spectre of CD-ROM FMV adventure games of yore. Still, I'll buy the game because Rockstar quality storytelling is rare in videogames. |

This thread has been stale for a while.....
Anyone picking this up tomorrow? I definitely will be - I have been watching and reading nearly everything that comes out about it. The game looks fantastic. I really hope it is as good as it looks and the cases are challenging without being ridiculous.
My only concern is that there looks to be no replayability, since once you solve a case, you know who the villain is. But since I rarely play games over, that is minor.

If you don't want to hear the answer -- don't ask the question.

If this doesn't make it out for the pc within a year, I'll probably have to get a PS3. Fiancee's eyes got all wide and she looked at me excitedly...and I told her 'not for the pc'. Rockstar's been decent at 'console exclusives' coming out within a year for the pc (except Bully, which took forever), so I'm still hopeful. Looks awesome.

Yeah, I'm onboard. Hoping it's more RDR than GTA4, knowing that it's neither. Looks amazing and very atmospheric.

This is next on the list after Witcher 2, provided reviews are favorable, which is likely.

After the whole PSN thing you'd still go PS3 over Xbox? This isn't an exclusive. |

I wouldn't hold your breath on this being ported. I think after GTA4 they've given up.
