Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Yea but some of the expressions during cutscenes were off. And the Last of Us didn't win all of those awards JUST because of the non-interactive moments.

Okay somebody brought up that picture. Im out.
Could you please explain to him why he is wrong? Maybe a mod might change his mind. Seems everyone's explanations are ignored.

Yeah, I'm confused. Can someone explain what's wrong with the pic I posted? I legitimately don't know.

Here is a short explanation on why he is wrong:
It's a cutscene.
The end.
Edit: to late, hehe that should teach me a lesson for butting in!
There are a lot of reviewers that gushed all over the facial expressions and I've heard on podcasts how people were shocked that they weren't performance captured.
But yes, The Last of Us didn't win them because of that alone. It won all those awards because it was determined that it was the best all around package. Facial expressions are a big part of the cinematics that were highly praised, though.

Yea, some scenes have really good facial animation, but some scenes don't. That's all i'm saying.

Missed opportunity to call this the "Uncharted 4 Face-off" thread
Because they are great games......?
Are you blind or missing an eye? You might want to look at the eye patch.

Looks like some moderator is either too bored or has way too much free time on their hands.
I'm just trying to point out that we're not talking about developers that fail at getting emotions across in their faces like BioWare, Capcom or CDPR to name a few that have emotion be part of their games.
Naughty Dog is so far ahead of the majority of the industry when it comes to portraying feelings through facial expression it just seemed weird to read your comment when it comes to performance capture.
And they use that free time to moderate a forum free of charge, what a bunch of cocks.

I'm talking about the crazies and their complaints. Look at the Driveclub threads. Any of them.

Try hitting some post history buttons. It is system warrior salt most times I've found.
I'm waiting to see it actually in game. Uncharted 3 had models changing between E3 and release...slightly for the worse too...
Oh come on.
Yeah, that's what I thought as well.
Now, let's see how different Elena looks, that'll be good for a solid freakout. Tis tradition, after all.
That's what happens when you push for photo-realism i guess.
I can't really say he looks nothing like Drake because Drake has always been cartoony and over styled. I'm assuming this is what he would look like in a realistic CGish style while still being stylized.
I think it looks pretty cool.

Yea, ok then, that still doesn't affect the fact that some expressions in the last of us were off in my opinion.

Unless that's supposed to contradict his original premise, I'm not actually sure your continued point. They're not exactly mutually exclusive statements here.

Hopefully they let use the touchpad is caress his soft face.
Good for you, you have an opinion!

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Because i'm stating my opinion the game. And I was wondering about if they were finally using facial motion capture. He took that as if I was saying "all the faces are horrible" it seems.
No, I took the commonly understood meaning of "finally." Synonymous with "at last."
He looks mid 40's. In the reveal, Sully said Drake was 'out of the game for a long time'.
Drake was in 30's during UC3.

I don't really care for the new face model. He's changed a little from game to game, but he was still obviously Nate and I could easily tell. Here... if I had no context to the image posted, I would have NO clue who that guy was. Even with knowing it's from Uncharted 4, I wouldn't assume it was him because he looks so different to me. Not a fan.
The previous games had a more stylized character design which I loved, but I feel like they are going for a more realistic approach which is meh.

Oh my god
I wish they would do performance capture on the faces, I feel as if we'd get more of the actor's intentions if they did it that way.

Yeah, don't like this realistic approach at all. It's fine for the Last of Us 2, but Uncharted should be more stylized and colorful. With a realistic look also come expectations of realism in gameplay and other areas and that's just making it harder and harder for yourself; basically digging your own grave. I don't doubt ND's technical wizardry, but it means putting a lot of effort, time and money into things many don't even care much for at the possible expense of deep gameplay.
I'm obviously speculating here and they may surprise me (I hope they do), but this actually has me more worried than excited.
