best trailer ever isnt KZ... its

[BlueTsunami]

FYI, Sony Imageworks has built a very complex system for the Polar Express, that was able to do full capture including faces and fingers. But it took more than a hundred cameras and lots of custom software to do it, which will probably remain beyond any game's budget. And in my opinion, the result still looked stiff and zombified

OFFTOPIC: But there was an eeriness to the characters and their faces. I mean...it was as if they where almost real but....not there....I found that movie sorta creepy. The only way I can explain it was..just void of emotion. :shiver:

I thought the models in Polar Express were very off putting as well, a lot of people did. Google "uncanny valley" when you're bored, it explains the disturbo phenomana quite well. As the graphic tech gets more and more advanced at recreating the human form I really wonder if there;s going to be an unavoidable gap in obtaining true photo realism. The most endearing CG or videogame characters are either heavily stylized humans or non-human for a reason.

********* Update from TXB********

"The Outlook

NBA 2K6 has come a lot closer to the Lebron James tech demo we saw at E3 than we could have ever imagined. The gameplay mechanics were already stellar and with the team tightening up a few of the issues found in the current-gen, NBA 2K6 for the Xbox 360 should be a slam dunk.

NBA 2K6 is currently slated as a launch title, and we’ll find out more as to if it will be a day one release or shortly there after. "
