Activision's Impressive Tech Demo

Activision R&D Real-time Character Demo

PopRocks3594044d ago

Tracking's nice. Still got some uncanny valley going though. Let's hope we don't wind up seeing this for the next half decade.

GamersRulz4044d ago

isn't this the same character nVdia showed?

xPhearR3dx4044d ago

Except this is a crappier version of it, but yes. Same dialog and same emotions, not as good quality.

Rhythmattic4044d ago (Edited 4044d ago )

Neither has nothing on this !

(BTW.. Im off to see them in May at the opera house.. Ye Hah)

hakis864044d ago

I know, bad teeth, and no tounge?
OTher than that HELL YEAH I want this graphics NOW

Solid_Malone4044d ago

yeah I think lip syncing is an issue on this, but then again, most games have that same issue.

I really hope they fix that, can't take game characters seriously when playing a game because it doesn't feel as engaging.

LOL_WUT4044d ago

Good to see Activision putting in some effort. Still a long ways to go though... ;)

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael76d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay75d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael76d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM75d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj76d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor76d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj76d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman76d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese75d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX76d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek76d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin76d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
