Thanks... Jacob Send a noteboard - 19/05/2011 01:45:45 PM
Great game so far. It's got GTA-like driving, Red Dead-like shooting and AC-like running/climbing/brawling.

Can't ask for too much more than that.

It looks wonderful, has great sound/music, and does a great job pulling off the 1940's LA theme.


I had no doubt that this game was going to look and sound great. The game is built on some pretty serious pedigree when it comes to that stuff.

By far the most important aspect of this game is the detail of the faces. I can't stress enough how different this is from any other game that has been made. It's amazing, and really allows the player to become immersed in the game. The fact that you can literally tell motive and truthiness from a person simply by watching them is unreal. Humans are very, very good at recognizing facial cues of course, and Rockstar (or rather Team Bundi) deserves high praise for pulling this off in the game. And while I was at first worried that the ability to tell lying from truth would become cookie cutter, my repeated failure to get this right shows I was wrong.


This is excellent to hear. I knew, just by looking at previews, that this game was really pushing edge into very new territory. If it worked, it could be awesome. If the tech didn't work right, or if the developer let it get too boring, then it would fizzle. I'm very happy that so far it's working for you.

At this point, it's a must have.


I was hoping for that... and afraid of that as I don't have the money to buy it yet.

I only pay full price on a very select few games... Jacob - 17/05/2011 04:47:09 PM 581 Views
Not unless I pick up a bargain-priced console, since R* decided to snub PCs. *NM* Zalis - 17/05/2011 04:17:27 PM 266 Views

I have to wonder if Valve's delay for HL2:Ep3 is related to utilizing this facial expression tech. Zalis - 18/05/2011 06:07:48 PM 575 Views
