Here's How You Do Facial Animations - Injustice 2 Harley Quinn

CG writes: "While EA’s Mass Effect Andromeda was panned when it launched due to some dodgy facial animations among other things, Bioware has managed to redeem themselves weeks later and after a few patches. Memes aside though, for those who purchased the game on day one (like us) and played through the massive adventure, having dodgy animations (whilst not game breaking) simply made conversations either comical or lost the presence of the characters. NetherRealm’s Injustice 2 face isn’t tired and highlights how to do excellent facial animations right out of the gate, no patches required to fix the make-up here".

They're adequate, but nothing worth writing an article about, Mafia III and Uncharted 4? Now those are work writing about

InMyOpinion2903d ago

How about L.A. Noire? They are still number 1 in my book, followed by Uncharted 4. :)

LA Noire was amazing for the time, but can't really compare to UC4 now. I would point to the scene in the beginning where Nate is talking to the Nun as a kid, and he said "It wasn't just about the book" or whatever, you can almost feel what he's feeling. Or the shock on his face when Elena discovers he's been lying to her. Or the look on Elena's face when she's talking to him on the phone. You can tell she knows he's lying even though she doesn't say it.

That's not a shot against LA Noire, the technology just wasn't available yet, but they did amazing things with what they had.

InMyOpinion2903d ago (Edited 2903d ago )

@bluefox755 - The motion capture technology in L.A. Noire is more advanced than what's used in todays games. It's also too expensive which explains why no one's used it since. I'm talking animation only, not graphics fidelity.

@InMyOpinion I watched the video, and I'm still not seeing where it's "more advanced" like you're saying. The quality is great, amazing for the time even, but once again, it's limited by the technology. The animators were limited with what they could do.

Graphics in this game are amazing. 100x Better than all the japanese fighting games which are all manga and cartoonish. Can't stand them.

bluefox7552903d ago (Edited 2903d ago )

I agree. They're pretty good, but far from the best.

xPaYDaYx2902d ago

I agree, no idea why people would down vote this. The animations are good, not great. That being said, people are still up in arms about the ME: Andromeda fiasco so it makes sense that an article would pop up regardless of the game.

That's much better than the "tired" faces of Mass Effect Andromeda. LOL

Malphite2903d ago

Pretty good facial animations for a fighting game. But why does she bring a baseball bat just to throw is away before the fight starts?

Perjoss2903d ago

she brings it just in case she comes across bat man

/hides

Der_Kommandant2903d ago

I'm VERY surprised at the facial animations in the game, that only gets me more excited for the next Mortal Kombat game.

Derceto2903d ago

Here's how you f**k up voice syncing while you're at it.

I really don't see what the hype about the animations in this game is. Sure, if you compare it to Andromeda, they look out of this world, but so would anything on the Sega Genesis.

Great month, looking forward to Hot Wheels, I really love some good old arcade racing

darthv72948d ago

Heck yeah... love me some hot wheels

CobraKai948d ago

It’s fantastic. I paid full price and it’s worth it

LG_Fox_Brazil948d ago

Of course, these subscriptions cost money, you know?

MrVux000947d ago

Something inherently wrong with that?

Crows90947d ago (Edited 947d ago )

Yeah. Ps plus gives you value for your money. Unlike a different subscription that just takes your money. Hence why Sony where the first at every turn to give what players want or appear to be interested in. Free monthly games...check. subscription service with games ...check. And as always Microsoft goes in to do the same but constantly fails at giving good value. Games with gold has sucked the majority of it's existence. Gamepass is more expensive than ps plus extra and it doesn't give you online or monthly games. Ultimate is the most expensive service and yet it has less high rated games on its service than ps extra.

So yes. We should always judge these services for the value they give.

Mobis-New-Nest948d ago

Hopefully they have God of War Ragnarok, Modern Warfare 2 Remake and Last of Us Remake for December 2022. This selection is down right depressing 😞

FinalFantasyFanatic947d ago

Yeah, nah, they're not going to give us Ragnarok when it's practically just come out, they know they can still make alot of money off that one for another 6 or so months, probably the same with the Last of Us Remake.

Crows90947d ago (Edited 947d ago )

Oh so you want all of the games for pennies. You think that would help the devs much? Gaming isn't a charity business.

another good line-up. Hot Wheels looks interesting. Never played it.
Still hooked in Need for Speed Heat (this month's PS Plus free game)

darthv72948d ago

This just reminded me to nab NFS before it was yanked. Thanks for that.

lucian229948d ago

Looks like another good month. Really was happy with gran blue fantasy last in the current month.

MIDGETonSTILTS17948d ago

I’m so glad I didn’t buy this on sale, albeit now I have to get the dlc

CobraKai948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

I didn’t know Superhot was a non-vr game too.

Mr Logic948d ago

For those that read this, keep in mind that Superhot was a flat game that was later made into VR. It wasn't a VR game that was ported for more sales. Both are worth playing as the levels and scenarios are different in both versions.

The article states Tekken 7 might be the best fighter currently available on Xbox, but leaves out important information that it never takes advantage of the Xbox hardware. It never got any kind of patch/boost/upgrade for the more powerful Xbox consoles, meaning it still runs at 720p I believe, resulting in a very blurry look.

Truly wish more devs would respect their products and customers enough to address issues such as these.
