There are a couple moments in DS where it feels like something went horribly wrong with the facial tracking, like mama's rubble flashback, admittedly

LA Noire was such a weird, interesting tech dead end. Didn’t that game basically make every face out of an FMV normal map?

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:There are a couple moments in DS where it feels like something went horribly wrong with the facial tracking, like mama's rubble flashback, admittedly I think that's to do with certain aspects of the face, like the inside of the mouth, obviously prohibiting the same kind of attention, so if a character opens their mouth too wide it looks unnatural, which she does in that scene. There's a lot of issues with mocap that is still limited by the need for reference markers since it means the things you can't track will require your animation team to do some extraordinarily lifelike work in a far more hands on fashion, and that's really tough. Even something as stupid as the flexible mucosa inside your mouth being too stiff will make your brain think something's off, we're designed to pay a lot of attention to faces so it's obviously going to be heavily scrutinized by anyone. I could get into how there's a whole host of other weird things that throw our senses off, from things like mouths and eyes not appearing soft or moist enough, skin not appearing pliable or having enough give, nails looking inorganic or glassy, etc. etc. The more otherwise realistic the motions or capture, the more obvious those flaws become. A really well animated face with an open mouth and a very obviously lifeless oral cavity weirds us out. No matter how good mocap or model fidelity gets, things like how light passes through cartilage in your ears or nose, how veins stretch and condense in the hand, fat jiggling, your eyelids not being entirely opaque and on and on will pose challenges that will likely not be solved for application in commercial entertainment for a long while. So for the foreseeable future we're going to be finding virtually every performance and result somewhat uncanny. MGSV still looked doll-like enough to induce less of that reaction.

Raptor1033 posted:Is PT that cool rear end game that almost got made with Guillermo del Toro? PT was the playable teaser for Silent Hills, which would have been joint-directed by Kojima and Del Toro, with art direction by Junji Ito. Konami killed it harder than Dracula. It was the fallout from that and the handling of MGSV that led to Kojima leaving to found his own company. Silent Hills died for our gaming sins.

MGSV’s faces were great but for the most part were static/stiff in animation. One thing I don’t like about DS/Decima is that everyone’s skin still looks a little... I dunno, moist? Shiny? It’s a problem I had with HZD too.

So I’m just in chapter 4? i just got to mountain knot city and they told me to go jump. Ok fair enough. Then I got an email saying go see mama. I’m assuming she’ll help out or I’ll need to bring her there. I have the ziplines now but the couple I’ve built have just disappeared and I haven’t noticed as many in the world. Also I havent noticed the roads expanding like they had before. That said...I’m not exactly helping donate to them. Is there a link between you helping this stuff and others popping in? Also I want to set up a bunch of ziplines from mountain knot to the roboticist to the weather station but how do I get them not dying quickly from time fall? Just hope for others to upgrade?

Just started Chapter 4, which was a bit unexpected. Am I likely to be here a while, or can I go back to building roads and delivering films soon?

They shouldn't disappear THAT fast (like only the structures I built at the very beginning of the game had begun to go out of commission from timefall by the end of the game) so make sure you're logged in

I didn't start to see ziplines everywhere until after my second storyline trip to Mountain Knot. Speaking of ziplilnes, that right-next-to-BTs one is one of my higher rated non-road objects now so the person who suggested I leave it was correct. I've really started to care less about getting optimal placement of these. I will build one 100 feet from another one if it ties two online networks together . Like it should be possible to cover the distance beetween Heartman and the Geologist in two ziplines but I've been unable to get the placement to make it work and am currently using three hops and it still doesn't get me to the geologist's door step. I had originally decided to not even place ziplines here because it's a relatively safe and easy trek from Heartman and the Geologist but the trek BACK always seems to cause a whiteout.

Catching up with the pizza missions in the post-game and oh man, whoever came up with the idea of giving you a champagne bottle you have to hand-hold that prevents use of zip lines and vehicles is an evil, evil genius. gently caress you, Higgs!

I like the idea of him doing it purely to gently caress with you Sam for this delivery if your speed exceeds 2 KMH or you set it down and pick it up again the cargo will absolutely ruined, just FUBAR Sam

In order of appearance, Luden’s fan Musician Collector Cosplayer Peter Novelist’s Son Veteran Porter First Prepper In my experience, it’s hard to see the last sliver of the star on the summary screen, so I’d go back and do one delivery for each person.

When you look at your map and hit R3 to view chiral network coverage, are there any conspicuous areas missing/blacked out from the puzzle?

I think I finally understand this game. Started chipping away at Ch.3 some more and ended up loving dropping likes on everything, hauling stuff out to people's sites, and gettings tons of likes from rebuilding roads. Leaving rope behind for people off the beaten path is fun. It's me, I'm homo ludens. Before I had only like a vague idea of what I was even doing and it honestly felt like a hallucination sometimes.

Cowman posted:God gently caress Peter Englert. Forever your faithful servant Higgs Monaghan The Pizza missions are the bonus boss of this game. How well can you stack your cargo? What about planning routes, avoiding enemies, using container repair spray and timefall shelters? Okay, now you can't use vehicles, what now hotshot? Each one more nerve-wracking and taxing than the last. Always under a timer and fragile cargo limit. Which, of course Higgs, the game-centric nutjob would throw in a bonus boss.

Get a truck. Or fill up your backpack with 4 M-sized items then the pizza will lay on top of them

The whole game should have been about pizza delivery imo. Everyone understands the importance of receiving an intact pizza.

I tried to do the champagne one with floating carriers with plans to skate down the highway. But I got shocked by MULEs and the pizza floated away down the river. It was the first time I saw a game over screen

If anything I wish there were more delivery missions with weird restrictions- was excited when I first saw the Pizza Missions but they're really the only strange type apart from the heat and cold-sensitive deliveries.
