Mass Effect's Dialogue is Rather Massive

If you've watched the making of the film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, you would have noticed the painful approach Square Pictures took to match the spoken dialogue with the facial movement. For the most part, Square animators matched the lip movements by hand; something I was particularly impressed with. Unfortunately, the end result was far from perfect. The facial animations seemed "stiff" giving a false impression to the already realistic looking CGI surrounding it. Perhaps the CGI itself was far ahead of its time, but the phonetic interpretation technology was certainly not.

still, it's nearly not as good as motion capture, good thing we have Heavenly Sword!

EDIT: Wait, wtf are you disagreeing for? You mean to say that mo-cap is not better??? Or you all are implying that ps3 owners don't have Heavenly Sword? O_o

SL1M DADDY6797d ago

At this point, no other game compares to Heavenly Sword in the motion capture department. NONE! If future developers want to get it right, then they too need to follow the path that HS has set before them. Otherwise, they will all fall victim to the same fate as games have in the past... Emotionless facial expressions and poor body movements.

Mass Effect will be a much, much better game.

nanometric6797d ago (Edited 6797d ago )

Let me correct you, it MAY be a better game... thou I think it looks good!

EDIT: @below I would like to think so too, but I wanna leave room for error... but yeah, I hope it come to PC or PS3

Cosmo6797d ago

I think its guaranteed to be a better game, especially considering the quality of KOTOR. One of the best RPG every made.

Damn Xbots I'm so jealous, I'll wait till it comes to PC which it probably will just as KOTOR came out a year later on the computer.

Right, just like after MGS and FF13 its all downhill for the PS3...

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno184d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos184d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg184d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb184d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum184d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1079d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast1079d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
