This is how acting in video games should be. This is made by the same people who made the video game Heavy Rain (PS3 ONLY) undoubtedly one of the best acting performances in a video game to date. This video is a tech demo from the same studio.

Also what you see is rendered on the PS3 in real time (just FYI)

pretty decent very realistic

games once had decent stories. and then, all developers cared about was making games mainstream and marketable with shiny graphics. maybe now that graphics are slowly reaching a point of diminishing returns, we'll see more focus on storytelling again

- so says an opinionated fart ^^

p.s saw that vid not long ago and my jaw dropped. graphics really are stunning

It's more than story. I have played games with good stories, but terrible acting. Good acting can make even a bad story line good.

couldnt agree more but imho its not acting but how they make the character move. IMHO the acting comes from the voice in these cases, but this one had it nailed down perfect in both fluidity of movement and the voice

you have a point there, nice acting really improves the mood

btw, how inappropriate does that video preview look.

Wow, that's impressive.. it really draws you in and creates an atmosphere. Pity this is only going to be for PS3.
