I honestly did not notice how good the facial animations were in Lost Odyssey
Mainly because I was spending half my time bawling my eyes out whenever a story or cutscene happened


CONVERSELY The facial animations are all I seem to notice for L.A Noire, mostly because it's the selling point of the game and without it they might as well have called it GTA 1960 Hot Pursuit.  :mrgreen: Which is not to say that it would have been a bad game but there does seem to be a disconnect with the quality of the animations and the photorealism of the faces themselves.

It's a cut above the rest, but honestly in a few years it's possible people are just going to look back and go "eh, it was cool for its time."

But now is its time! And they'll be right, it's pretty darn cool!

look out! Ninjas!:
I still think Half Life 2 has the best faces, and going off trailers this doesn't look better.

Blyss:
Got my copy last night.  I get what some people are saying about the facial animations actually standing out over the rest of the animation in the game.  To me, about 10 minutes in, I stopped noticing, because the voice acting, and the storytelling started to draw me in.  I really like the story offering so far.  Though, to be honest about it, I'm not a very good interrogator.  My success rate has been good, but only as a whole.  There was one case where my captain ripped my ass for missing a lot about the case.  I genuinely felt bad.  That said a lot to me.  This game already made me feel something, and I've only been at it for a couple of hours.

I look forward to continuing tonight.

I guess what I'm going to say that even the best-animated game won't age well if the core mechanics aren't enjoyable.  :-P
But it seems like L.A Noire will hold up regardless.
