johnny_zoo Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Despite LA Noire being a pretty lame game overall one thing I loved about it was the facial recognition. It was awesome, I was blown away once I saw how well it added life to the characters. Seriously, interviewing people and watching out for the little nuances that they give away when lying was so much fun. It adds a whole new layer of emotional connection with videogame characters that is you never get. Of course its too late to use this feature now for GTA V; it is almost out the door. However I want this being used in next gen GTA VI. Its high time that we connect on a greater level with characters in the GTA world. Don't get me mistaken here I think the animation in GTA has always been top notch even back to III days. But think how much cooler it would be if they include Motion-Capture? At one point during 2010/11 I think I was among those that wanted GTAV to have facial recognition like LA Noire. I literally cant tell you how much Im looking forward to the day this dream is realized in GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny_zoo Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Despite LA Noire being a pretty lame game overall Stopped reading there I was mildly exaggerating. It was good but was too restricting most of the time. Anyway my following argument still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackNoise Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Motion Scan is just not necessary. It was used as a gimmick in LA Noire, but I loved it because it produced some of the most believable acting(cutscenes) I've ever seen in a game, especially the newspaper articles. The reason I say it's unnecessary is because the technology is extremely limited and it just isn't needed when you consider the higher polygon count next gen consoles will be able to produce. Motion Scan is basically 3D high definition video being played on the surface of each character's face. This is why the characters look exactly like the actors who voiced them. Next gen consoles will be able to produce a similar level of detail just by using better motion capture technology. Something like what Avatar used would be much better, because both facial and body animations are captured at the same time, which isn't possible with Motion Scan. This eliminates that weird disconnected look the characters in LA Noire had sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This eliminates that weird disconnected look the characters in LA Noire had sometimes. Actually, it is possible to scan the entire body, but I don't know if next-gen is able to handle the level of detail (and it's probably pretty expensive now). I remember Brendan McNamara said they will try to Motion Scan the entire body for the next game (Whore of the Orient!?).

lol232 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) L.A. Noire had pretty awesome motion scan: I guess that GTA VI will to. Hell, maybe even V. Edited June 3, 2013 by lol232 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeFox Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Motion scan is just a minor detail if it were to happen in GTA. It would take a helluva space on a CD that L.A. Noire did not take up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieleng Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Rockstar wouldn't use MotionScan© anyway, mainly because they don't own the tech & probably wouldn't want to license it from whoever currently owns it (KMM or Warner Brothers I think). They might use something similar, but they would probably want to integrate it into a brand new game engine, like Natural Motion's Euphoria was part of the RAGEngine from the very start.

PHOENIXZERO Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Motionscan was the reason the XB360 version of the game was three discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) There are technologies out there that are certainly better than Motion Scan and that, above all, need less resources while having both: facial and body animations. Chances are that they will be used for next-gen videogames, including the next Grand Theft Auto.
