Awesome, can't wait to see what Remedy is up to next. Aren't they making an iPhone game? Should be interesting.
@MatthewMk2 Its already out, it's called Death Rally and it's really rather good.
UNlike the facial animation in Alan Wake, which was absolutely bollocks.

I didnt think Alan Wake's facial animation was the worst to be honest. Gamers today are too spoilt with technology.
Remember the days when all a game character needed was a face?
Also La Noire facial animation is kinda cheating. Games like Enslaved and Half life 2 impress me more because they arent real people.

"I've said it once, I'll say it again: VALVe can and has done it better."
Done it better then.... a game that doesn't exist yet? Weird. How DO they do that?

Valve did it better, because of the stylized visuals. Remedy and Team Bondi want a more "realistic" look. Uncharted also did a great animation, but it looked great because of a more stylized look.
Bondi and Rocktar did a great facial animation, anyway. The only problem they have, judging from videos, is that it looks creepy when paired with the body animation.

"a similar approach to how facial animation was done for Alan Wake"
I really enjoyed Alan Wake, but it had AWFUL facial animation. Hopefully that was part of the reason for this research.

Doesnt make sense considering the fact that LA Noire uses live action capture, and not animation. Remedy are kidding themselves.
You see, I actually like Team Bondi's tech because it allows actors to be in the game without having to resort to the horrific live-action stuff from the past.
Plus, I think it attracts better acting talent since you can actually recognize the people playing the part, which you have to imagine is a big draw to those participating. I mean, it has to be really neat to think that you can act and see yourself in the game later on.
On some level, yeah, it does move games towards that Hollywood side of the teeter-totter, but I don't think it's a bad thing necessarily.
However, I don't think I'd want every game looking like LA Noire either, so the more approaches that developers have the better for us.

It better be a million times better than Alan Wake. Because that game had two facial expressions. Eyes open and eyes closed.
I would have rather seen a Remedy-helmed Max Payne 3 that wasn't a bastardization in lieu of "ooh pretty faces".
...what they're saying essentially is that the tech Bondi has won't be able to record both facial and bodily movements at the same time in the near future?
@ DAVYDOCK,
"Dont be an arse."
Honestly didn't think I was. I just tire of the same comments over and over again displaying nothing but negativity.. this time for something that doesn't even exist. But I tried to be fairly civil about it, albeit with a dose of sarcasm.

Now I'm confused. The facial animations in the trailer looked really good, but this bit makes it sound like we're going to be looking at a bunch of chattering skulls like in Alan Wake. Maybe he meant it would a similar approach, but that they wouldn't totally shank the whole thing like they did for Alan Wake.
Also, lol @ header image of clown bukkake.

Honestly though, cheating or not, L.A. Noire sports some very impressive facial animations, and not to beat a dead horse or anything, but at least in my opinion, it's the best I've ever seen in a game (Valve do an amazing job, however).
I'll be looking forward to this unannounced project to see this animation tech in action, I suppose. Good developers improving their tech is never a bad thing.

Alan Wake 2 with realistic facial expressions? Sign me up! I just hope they don't completely focus on the face and leave the rest of the characters models with much to be desired like LA Noire did.
