EMotion FX 2 Gives Games a Face-Lift

Just found this interesting interview and wanted to share...

"Mystic Game Development has given RPG developers what they need most: lifelike emotions.


Even with today’s advanced technology, there’s one thing that all games lack: believable facial expressions. I’m not talking about gasps, smiles or laughter. Game artists have done that stuff pretty well. But when it comes to conveying a deep emotion – either of love, of hate, or of trauma – the game industry falls flat on its face. In story and in music they can and have succeeded. But never once have I felt the emotion in a video game character’s face because it just isn’t there. To be honest, it’s not there in any of the CG movies featured in games either.



Will it ever change? At this point no one knows for sure. But there are a few dedicated souls out there who hope that it will change very soon. One of those souls is Mystic Game Development. They sound like a producer of role-playing games, but in actuality they make spectacular game engines.



Their latest, the EMotion FX 2, has serious potential. Only demo shots have been revealed thus far, but take a look at what this thing is capable of producing."
