Welcome to the Uncann… ARRHHHH KILL IT!
Was digging through Youtube videos lately and ran across some videos of CG animated characters and is the way of Youtube ended up spending way too much time digging through a ton of “related videos” and stuff.
Was struck by how realistic and nice some of the work is, up until they open their mouths anyway. Seems that’s still the weakest point in the resulting in the whole uncanny valley thing.
Here’s some of the more impressive videos I found.
The vast majority are female characters, not sure if that says something about me or the people making the stuff. =D
The Emily Obrien Project in particularly was impressive I thought.
Duke Nukem Forever Delayed, No One Surprised
I’d almost be disappointed if it wasn’t delayed.
In the meantime, enjoy some classic Duke and remember how great and innovative a game it was in addition to just the crude humor we all enjoyed so much from it.
It really was a great game for a variety of reasons and had a lot of things I wish more game companies today still took notice of.
