interplay board polls

While I hate to advertise for another board, but it does seem that the interplay board has had some interesting polls on the BIS feedback board.

Those of you who have not visited might be interested in some of these polls as it seems that the folks over at BIS are trying to figure out what we want and don't want for Fallout 3.

Remember, Talking Heads is a GOOD thing! :wink:

I'd really like to visit IPLY boards and vote, but I fear that general idiocy that prevails there might be contageous.

Remember, Talking Heads is a GOOD thing!
Uh, just what century are you stuck in? :) This is era of detailed character models, of facial animation, of lip synch... Check out the 3D characters in Mafia, behold the perfection and forget about the outdated prerendered talking heads... 8)
 
Yeah, I feel old, even though I'm a teenager. The talking heads just reduced my mind into so much gray matter slush. I turned to my cousin and said, "We are at the pinacle of technology, my friend."

Coupla years later, I played a game called Deus Ex. Started off pretty humbly with JC Denton talking to his brother, Paul, at a deck. Then: "OH MY GOD, THEY'RE LIPS ARE MOVING AS THEY TALK!" I watched in baffled awe as their lips moved in perfect synch with their lips. Whoa.

When I had awoken from the coma, I played a game called Mafia. One mission was to whack the brother of a rival mafia boss. The cutscene shows Paulie advancing with his Tommygun towards the helpless brother. Then: "OH MY GOD, HIS EYEBROWS ARE RISING IN SHOCK!"

I haven't been able to recover since.

Yeah, their lips were totally synced with their lips.

Sorry, I just had to do that.
 
Game history trivia: Lip synch was first featured in Half-Life, which was released round the same time as Fallout 2.
 
The talking heads were used to add character to key npcs. First citizen lynete is a good excample. Every time you piss her off her eye brows rise, and anger engulfs her features. Now with things such as HL2 morrowind etc, whe dont need talking heads, as we can have these features whtout the need of a seperate interface.
