<<<"... I leave you with this question: what games have impressed you with
their virtual acting? Old or new, it doesn't matter; if the characters
impressed you I'd be interested to hear about it. Because this is an
area where I really want games to improve ..">>>
This is important for me.
Facial expressions in games are very rare.
The predominant use of Filmed actors translated to on screen game characters
looks good & "realistic" but IMO is not ideal for computer games.
They need a Cartoon Comic approach to exploit the game format to maximum.
I like the cartoon style of Borderlands 2 where the filmed actors are
heavily styled
into some thing more distinctive & 'unrealistic'.
The Horrendous Tiny Tina.
Sir hammerlock's idiot creature studies.
There is no way these could be done in a COD etc..'realistic' way.
Yet they have no facial movements.
I once had a girl friend frighteningly like Patricia Tannis.
