My Tony Hawks Underground character always has bright blue skin and a bright red mohawk. SOMETIMES I LIKE TO GO CRAZY AND HAVE FUN, OKAY?
Yes, I was referring to the FMVs. I didn't mind the in-game models. I don't know about hyper-realism and all that jargon. All I know is that they made me uncomfortable because they looked like real people but not real people at the same time.Quote:

All I know is that PS2 Tidus wasn't in the Uncanny Valley, but oh boy, he sure is now.
Chalk another one up for this. If it's not off-putting, then they're doing just fine. Examples of the Uncanny Valley for me are Oblivion, FFX, Oblivion, L.A. Noire, Oblivion and Crysis. Regarding Crysis - for all the beauty they put into their game, I distinctly remember seeing a 2D face slapped onto the front of a round head at the very start of the game when you're about to jump out of the plane, and it's whack.Quote:

Yeah, I agree with this too. I'm one of the few people who wasn't disturbed by The Spirits Within, and I think the best looking fully animated models I've seen in a game so far are probably FFXIII's. Uncharted is a fantastic for it, too. I can only imagine The Last of Us is really good.Quote:
