Activision's Impressive Tech Demo

Activision R&D Real-time Character Demo

PopRocks3594039d 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.

GamersRulz4039d ago

isn't this the same character nVdia showed?

xPhearR3dx4039d ago

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

Rhythmattic4039d ago (Edited 4039d ago )

Neither has nothing on this !

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

hakis864039d ago

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

Solid_Malone4038d 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_WUT4039d 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.

Abriael71d ago

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

Eonjay70d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow71d ago (Edited 71d 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.

Abriael71d 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_BLM70d ago

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

Bathyj71d ago

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

TornRaptor71d ago

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

Bathyj71d ago

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

Hofstaderman71d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese70d 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.

OtterX71d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek71d 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.

Sephiroushin70d 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.
