What's pro pixel leatherization?
Outstanding! I really dig games in real world settings. The quality is outstanding. All the materials seem to have the right properties of reflection, translucence, transparency, color saturation, etc. Lighting and shadowing are very pretty. The self shadowing in particular looked nice. The animation/gestures and facial expressions really sets it apart (first game to improve on HL2 significantly! about time!!), along with the well designed character (hair is nice). Nice subtle use of DOF and the tears seemed to work for the style. I really dig the kitchen!
Only complaint: Her teeth! They remind me of Doom 3 teeth! Egads, someone get her a dentist!
No, seriously, the teeth need some work.

A pixel shader that makes leather look like leather, im dumb and even got that...
Thanks for the in-depth explanation !eVo!-X Ant UK. Obviously I'm too stupid to work out they were talking about a way to render leather effects and I obviously wasn't asking what the precise method was and how it differs from just a normal lighting shader...

you're even slower than we imagined!
seriously though, "pro pixel leather effects" or whatever (too lazy to go back and grab title) is one of the stupidest implementations of marketing speak that I've ever heard. would it really kill marketing departments to help us b3d'ers educate the world on the basics of computer hardware and programming models? hell all i know how to do in c++ is make linked lists basically, and I still know that "pro pixel leather effects" can be almost directly translated to mean "ehem, Leather is teh balls!"

That joke went horribly wrong... Shifty, read phil's post again, and most importantly, read mckmas's post before it...

Lod
What I am impressed is shader LOD. When person comes close, background has no focus so extra shader power from not doing background is used for face only. With character behind and showing detail background, face has not much shader power, with blur background and face close to camera, shader for face is alot.
Also I think "pro-pixel" is mistake from "spell-checker" and lazy writer. My english is not best yet but I find other strange mistakes too.

Wow, that demo was impressive.
Not so much the crazy bitch with a horse's teeth, but the kitchen. Though the character was pretty impressive too, even if her face modelling and animation was freaky. There's definitely something wrong with you lady.
Imagine a next gen Silent Hill with graphics like that!! They could even make the game happen just inside one house with all the rooms modelled with theat level of intricate detail, and there'd be so much potential for scares of a completely new level.
I'm wetting my panties thinking next gen games can actually have that quality.

Back on topic (and so Shifty can make a reappearance)...
I just watched the proper vid - very impressive. But, but.... surely not? Knowing that it's a tech(ish)-demo the first obvious thought is "what's the actual game gonna be like?"
a) A dating sim
j/kb) More of an interactive movie experience?
I dunno. Maybe I'm not showing enough imagination...
EDIT: Ahh ok, e.g. Silent Hill - d'oh! Thanks rabid.
Lol. i took that from ign's:

that's probably an 'uterspace/high on drug ' feature

Extended 720p video at Playsyde.com. Kind of explains the scene, but not the game!
