Meh, nothing too impressive here. As always, the hands, mouths, and eyes look completely unrealistic. I've yet to see a video game get any of these three elements correct.

The closeup of the eyes with reflections in them wasn't too bad. This looks more like a technology demo than anything else. It takes a concerted effort to produce something close to real:

It's happening. I expect in sometime in the near future there will be interactive, virtual movies where the storyline is driven by the audience. That would be very cool.

Ehhh... I think HL2 did a better job at this kind of stuff.

Only published or personal queue videos may be flagged dead - ignoring dead request by gwiz665.

This is the result of not hiring a professional voice actress and just asking the girlfriend of one the animators to do it...

I agree with JAPR though, there is nothing in the demo that is leaps-and-bounds better than Valve's Source engine.

*dead like gwiz said.

The animation is very nice overall. The lip sync definitely needs work, as you said. Maybe I could confuse a still capture with a photo briefly, but certainly there is plenty here that makes it obvious this is CGI: the hair, the giant mouth, the flat skin.

Might be a pretty cool game, though. Definitely has a Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy vibe.

Damn you Rasch, we tried to fix this at the same time, but when I clicked on the "fix Embed Code" you had already done it. Curses!

I'd like to point out that this is a tech demo from E3 in 2006. While not everything is 100% in the tech demo, the technology appears to be refined in more recent videos I am seeing from the actual game.

Also, *nsfw for language.

I wish that so many game developers didn't have aspergers. It sure would be nice to have this sort of things made by people that actually understand the important parts of human interaction, rather than getting so many rubber mask puppets.
