This past week in gaming I’ve been playing Rockstar’s Games L.A. Noire. I haven’t finished the game yet, but I have played enough to have a pretty good opinion about it. The element that stuck out to me the most was the animation. A new form of technology was used to capture facial emotions and movement. 32 camera were set up around the actors to capture all of their scene. It is so interesting to see the actor in the game and then see what they look like in real life. They look the exact same!
The technology used gives the characters much more depth and feeling as if they were real and they are real people. It is extremely interesting and adds so much more to the game play experience. Check out this behind the scenes video of the facial capture…
