PC World writes "I have seen the future of computer-generated video game animation, her name is Emily, and Emily is not real -- or is she?"

after a few seconds i relized its fake, i dont know how, but something felt strange about her movements, but its pretty good, and its the most realistic i've seen

Kleptic6157d ago

yeah, at first I thought it was just wierd make-up or something, but then her eyes gave it away for me....even before they made it obvious...

still undeniably goo though...and that 'uncanny valley' stuff seems to shrink even more every year or so...

Tobias1236157d ago

It wasn't so much the eyes that stuck out, it was the mouth and lips and teeth that really looked weird, to me at least. But still, this is quite impressive.

FreeMonk6157d ago

That was pretty impressive. The most realistic so far.

I'd love to see it in HD rather than a poor quality YouTube video, to see it crystal clear, just incase there were any textures that look off in HD.

Sweet overall, but I wonder how much it would all cost for a feature length 90 minute movie!!? Maybe a lot more than hiring actors!

StephanieBBB6157d ago

I don't think that the end of real actors will come for a long time. wanna know why? It's virtually impossible to create natural flaws like grass growing beneeth pavement making it un-even and such like that.

Computer made humans and worlds are too perfect to look real.

yea there were some off moments but if you saw that on screen and it wasnt tigtly focuses=d you may think twice
very impresive

Leathersoup6157d ago

It does look like the face is stuck on there crooked. As for the whole "no need for actors" bit. Um... If you're just sticking a different face on an actor it sort of defeats the purpose.

Halo3Mgs46157d ago

As someone who has been gaming nearly as long as gaming has been around (since the early 70's), you'd think I'd be against this. Having grown up with all the major platforms and the whole notion of physical ownership... but I'm not. i embrace this as it is a revolutionary convenience. And one i know for a fact many (especially here) have not even given the fair chance to use. I get it... i was there too. But now i have a new outlook on it. It really is a hell of an option if you just want to play with no commitments. By no means am i saying this should replace traditional gaming, its an option. And one that people should look at optimistically as a way to compliment traditional gaming. There is room for both to thrive.

I tend to use streaming on new games in GamePass. To see if I like the game. If I do, I'll download it for a better experience. It's so convenient & useful.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

M3talDiamond3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition

-Foxtrot3d ago

I never knew Ross Scott was doing this

I love Freemans Mind

Inverno2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.

GazCBG2d ago

The EU Date is the 31st July not the 3rd

"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."

Well anything that adds and help gamers is a good thing even if some don’t need it there’ll be more that will use it.

darthv724d ago

Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops.

"Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops."

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.
