It will be a while before anything like this is in games, but wow

Wow. That is incredible.

I imagine once they create a library of facial movement references, they won't even need people anymore except for voices.

That just blows my mind.

which would the opposite of the LA Noire tech, where a voice actor would have to look the part too

The most impressive thing about this is that they're able to achieve those results in real time. No additional work required. So yes, the potential to apply a scaled down version to games is no mere pipe dream.

Yeah. Well, L.A. Noire is doing the best it can while keeping it affordable at $60. If they did this level of realism for the game, with that amazing level of facial movement, the game would cost $500 and come with as many Blu Ray discs as Final Fintasy XIII had for the 360.

And I'd totally buy it.

I wonder if something like this will bring us into a Home/MMO-ish experience in which we have accurate avatars later on?

Not my kind of game. I will not pay the release price for sure, but maybe on a non distant future I´ll give it a try.

I'm not paying a penny more than $5 and it better be DRM free and have at least 90 hours of gameplay.

and 50 endings

For every type of character you can play.

Using something like Kinect instead of having all those sensors all over your face? Yeah, maybe.

and phones in sick to work for you so you have time to get all the endings


(im also relieved my first ever thread on here didnt completely bomb lol)

Heck, it'll launch the first Porn MMO!

Haha, you said it first! Definitely crossed my mind.

knowing people, even if it was intended as one, it would end up that way
