A few years ago now, a game was announced called LA Noire. A game based on 1940's detectives in, massive spoilers, Los Angeles.
After a CG trailer at E3 and some confusion over if it would be a PS3 exclusive or not, the game dropped off everyones radar for a bit. Now Rockstar have jut released a new trailer for it, featuring 100% in-game footage.
The first thing that astound me is the level of detail in the facial animations. I have never seen anything this good in a game... ever. There was mention of the motion capture suite being used was one of the best in the world so I guess that explains it. It's not just the motions, but the facial deformations that are amazing. Each movement of the face comes with appropriate wrinkles and creases.
Finally, it's just good to see a game that looks like it might require intuition and cunning rather than twitch reactions or just holding shoot until everyone becomes meat pâté.
