    Honestly, whenever I look at someone's eyes in the game they look like tacked on anime eyes. They're too watery! Are eyes that hard to pull off in video games?

    I don't think they are difficult to create, they just made them ''attractive''.

    Yeah Naughty Dog's eye tech has really gone downhill lately. I still remember the good old days...

    The eyes in the game all looked normal to me, they managed to help convey expressions in more emotional scenes quite well I thought.
     
    I think it may be a case that other games haven't put quite so much into designing eyeballs before so we've come to respect that as the industry standard for eyes. And then Naughty Dog added a little more shine to the eyes in Uncharted 2 and we're all "OMG SHINEY!".....also Chloe was awesome. Sullivan you dirty old man you....

    I haven't seen that much footage of the game but I think the eyes look pretty good.

    What he said. We're just so used to seeing eyeballs being rendered in a dull fashion that we've gotten used to it, it's almost unnervingly realistic. Now that we've got the technology and tools, we can create better looking models, therefore, more time to concentrate on the details. It's not the first game to have shiny eyes but it's one of the best looking eyes around.

    Yeah, I don't think that shot conveys the problem too well though. It's extremely disturbing when characters eyes are mostly white because there's so much unnatural reflection going on. Really weird.

    Yeah, they look okay I think. Heavy rain probably has the most creepy eyes I've seen in a game.

    I was noticing it more on Chloe than the others at the start, but I really didnt find it a to be a big problem. Its a really small issue in an excellent game...

    This game's visuals are one of the biggest disappointments in 2009.

    I noticed that Chloe's eyes sometimes looked overly shiny, but overall the game looks so damn good that I don't really care.

    Eyes are hard to pull off as they're complex and hard to animate. But I think the eyes look fine in that game.

    I did think that Chloe's were especially shiny, but I don't think it's because they just decided to make them shinier, it's because her eye color clashes with her hair. I saw it on a Swedish actress, where she once had blond hair and brown eyes, and she looked fine. Then she dyed her hair brown, and her eyes looked just like Chloe's. Might be why, might not be, I don't know.

    I felt like Harry Flynn had too much darkness around his eyes, and I can't figure out why they did that.  In some scenes Chloe appears to have this too.  I don't think there was much wrong with the eyes themselves.
     
    All the other characters looked great though.
