Image Metrics has revealed details about their efforts to provide facial animation for many of the cut-scenes in the Action-Adventure video game Assassin's Creed II. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Assassin's Creed II is Ubisoft's sequel to the 2007 debut title that became one of the fastest-selling new intellectual properties (IP) in videogame history.
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
This weekend from August 10-14, players can play for free Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations, Black Flag and Valhalla on Xbox, PlayStation and PC (availability dependent on platform).
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
While overall the game looks awesome, the same can't be said for the facial animation.. To put it short, it SUCKS. There is absolutely no lip sync in most of the conversation and half of the characters look like ghouls from Fallout 3.. Eizo is well detailed, but other characters feel lifeless... But overall, the architecture structure and the city has great detailing and looks awesome.
