LA Noire: Capturing emotional gameplay
SanderElastique
In the fall of 2011 Rockstar GamesW will release the LA NoireW. In this game you are a detective who has to solve a murder mystery. By interrogating people you have to find out if they are telling the truth or that they are lying. By using lots of camera’s in specialized room they are now able to capture the emotional expressions of the actors/characters unlike we have seen before. In the video below they go more indepth how this technique works. Awesome stuff!
