Please combine this tech and facial conversion with the wrestling "create a story" mode!

GameFace is so good it throws us deep into the uncanny valley.

I have to say, even if that looks creepy as shit, the "Game Face" tech is pretty impressive. Great QL all around, really.

The fighting looks completely off. Reminds me of MMOs where anything you do hardly shows any impact. That Game Face tech though.

Guys.... "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey? apparently she met Roddy Piper and he gave her permission to use the name, thats pretty cool.

Why would you need to ask a D-list actor for permission to use a nickname? That's like saying no one's allowed to call themselves Scoops from now on.

Oh man. The more realistic these MMA games get, the more homoerotic the ground fighting becomes.

Watching two buff, mostly naked video game dudes look like they're roughly making out is a little too hot for comfort.

Edit: Seeing the Jeff head in action... how wonderfully horrifying.

Ronda would body Roddy in his prime.

Jeez, those career mode FMVs look boring. At least WWF Warzone's FMVs were actually hilarious to watch.

I kinda wanted a true-to-life recreation of Jeff's entire body, but only having an accurate head is pretty good!

Those strikes don't look like they hurt. Getting punched directly in the face by a UFC fighter should elicit some sort of reaction other then stony face.

You have a dragon hidden inside of you.

OH, CHRIST, GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!

Phew... anyway, it's appropriate that the first trophy Jeff and "Jeff" got in career mode had a bomb icon.

Jeff should have put his head on Roy Nelson's body.

Right. He's an entertainer, she's an actual fighter.

The fact that every time I see Virtual Jeff and his freakishly large head I just break down into fits of giggling tells me that an HD reboot of Theme Hospital would be great.

I dunno, that Jeff Gerstmann is hitting the uncanniest of vallies, even if his head is gigantic. Don't know if I prefer this or Kinect Sports Rivals Jeff.

I watched this whole video because of the hilarious thumbnail and I was not disappointed. Best implementation of Gameface yet.

People are gonna think I'm weird but I'm watching this and the animation is like off a bit, but it's off in this way that it reminds me of claymation. It's kinda whimsical to watch because it feels like I'm watching claymation stuff which is an awesome but unfortunately dead art.

I watch this video every so often just to hear Drew losing it and trying to get it back every time Jeff's horrible digital avatar shows up.
