I couldn’t help but notice the small details in the vidoc which will ultimately, subtly, make Halo 4’s campaign an amazing experience.
One of these are facial animations…
Thomas Lasky’s ‘hero’ is apparently Master Chief. So when they meet after the events of ‘Forward Unto Dawn’ he is really impressed / surprised and you can clearly see this thanks to the awesome facial animations / graphics at 04:28 in the vidoc below. I almost thought it was a live-action for a second.
Thoughts? I could also see the Captain’s ‘anger’ later on and just its much easier to see people’s emotions. I think it has something to do with the severe upgrades to mo-capping.
When I look at Lasky’s facial animation and just the general quality it looks so human. You can even see his individual teeth. It looks like a high budget CGI flick.
i agree, but cant help think that in the lasky shot you described that he looks like a deranged Scottish squirrel who has just realised that master chief stole his nuts…
It looks so much better than past Halo games like Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and even Halo: Reach. 343 Industries have really outdone themselves in this department.
Agree completely. This is some of the best facial animations I’ve ever seen in a video game, especially on outdated hardware. I had to watch those clips repeatedly because I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
