The Tech Behind LA Noire's Performances

woo!
 
interesting vid

Dude, this technology is BANANAS.

Still curious on the actual mechanics of the game, how similar will t play to previous rocketed games?

It looks like an awesome tech, I'm all for seeing more of this.

Tech always increases, now what about game play? GTA Style or what?

Very awesome!

wow. Looks awesome.

That actually looks pretty fucking rad, interested to hear more about this

This is a great step forward!

That's incredible

" Tech always increases, now what about game play? GTA Style or what? "

gonna pre-order.

This tech is really awesome, I hope this becomes the new standard for all big budget games.

A revolution Gentlemen

God I love video games...

This looks great and I mean truly accomplished. Come on Tested guys, this is the future of technology and it's on Giant Bomb!

Really impressive. I hope the gameplay is good as well.

that game is coming out soon and I hadn't even heard of it... whats wrong with me? I listen to every bombcast and I'm pretty well up to date with the industry. Maybe rockstar has been keeping this one under wraps.

This is amazing, I tells ya!  Amazing!

this is a case where it's so awesome that i don't even care about the game itself.

Who knows how this game will play... but I am definitely interested in at least watching someone else play through it if nothing else.  Definitely looks interesting.

Fucking awesome. I can't wait for other developers start using this tech. Just imagine what a company like BioWare could do with it!

Fuck a duck that looks incredible.

Are the characters actually gonna be looking at eachother??   Acting alone is hard work...

I am SO insanely HYPED about this game! Been that way for almost a year!

That is truly amazing... it looks completely real in some parts....

The only problems I have with this is that it seems you have to base any characters on the looks of a real human that is performing. It limits the types of characters you can use this with.

Something about the way the faces are shaded is giving me a real A Scanner Darkly vibe, especially at 3:30.

The thing I have problems with is the reflectiveness and general sheen of the faces. They look like really well animated mannequins. 

The tech behind this just blew my mind
Looks absolutely breathe taking!
 
But something about the faces looks a bit strange, I cant exactly put my finger on it

1940s detective game I'M IN!  new face tech or not, it could be a really good story-game

Still looks fucking amazing. And I'm reassured, too! I was worried about how on earth they managed this awesomeness, and felt threatened as an up and coming 3D artist. But of course there's absolutely no traditional artistry involved, it's all performance capture. That pleases me. And it's still unbelievably impressive!

This is very impressive facial tech.  It's the best I've seen since Half Life 2.

goddamn i can't wait for this.

holy shiet!

Really excited to get my hands on this game, cannot wait!

This game looks amazing, there's no debating that, but this is some serious Uncanny Valley stuff going on here. It's so real that it seems fake and a little off-putting. Also, is it just me, or do the bodies seem ill-matched to the faces?
 
Regardless, this looks fantastic and makes me wish I had money for a PS3.

Between this and Euphoria, Rockstar are steadily becoming the kings of "awesome tech that no one else uses."

You had me at "detective thriller."  I've been wanting a detective game for a long time.

This looks awesome can't wait to find out what the gameplay is all about.

The tech is great but the game is damn rough. I know they aren't done, but no lighting and a dodgy frame rate...

I don't say this often about video games, but WOW.

YEAH!

That looks pretty good.

omg the eyes are damn amazing

This is actually starting to creep me out.

omg the eyes are damn amazing.  The pupils and eyelids are pretty much spot on.  Most games look like you're talking to someone with lazy eye, while the screen caps look good. This is the opposite: amazing eyes/facial expression/animation, ugly skin texture. 
  
Looks like it could be a very unique game tho.

The facial animations are top notch.As Rockstar is known for, but I am sure that after RDR that the skin textures in LA Niore will improve over development.Look at the faces in GTAIV and compare them to RDR.The faces in RDR were a lot more detailed.

Glad it looks amazing but if it plays like GTA4 no thanks.
