Kinda crazy that this technology isn't used in any new game. Despite being super outdated, L.A. Noire still has better facial expressions than any game. I don't know how they rendered this but it looks like real people with a filter on, it doesn't look rendered and uncanny like every single game with realistic graphics. This game was so beyond its time.
@@dimitrijetucovic1307 The game is over 12 years old, have you seen the graphical improvements of new games? They have gotten a lot better, yea... however even then 2023 triple A games still have stiff and fake expressions, they are still very robotic, unlike LA Noire.
It actually *is* real people with a filter on. They used facial capture. You can recognize actors from this game in live action productions. I once saw Roy's actor in an episode of Parks and Rec and it took me a moment to figure out why I had such an instant seething hatred for the guy.

- *Hates* child molesters
- Angry
Ideal man
Most based man on Earth
Things going against him: him having an affair

The facial animations for a game this “old” is actually so good holy shit
The tech they used for the facial captures was really good, but also highly impractical from what I remember.
nice pfp

Not animations, these were captured directly from the actor's faces. That's why no other game has such great facial expressions as this.

"You're lying Jamison, TELL me the TRUTH!"

Cuz he's a rapper.
Cuz it rhymed

"Now why would I do that?"
"Because I'm about to break your fucking skull, Eli"

I love the Valdez scene. It went from 0 to 10 in an instant!
4:53
Yes he does
"ARE YOU A MADMAN!?"
funny thing about this game, Cole never has a warrant, so all the suspects could just tell him to piss off and he'd legally have to
Back then? Not really. Hell, they didn't have the miranda warning until 1966. Around that time is when people realized that cops had to play by certain rules because of the constitution.
Not to mention Mapp vs. Ohio.
Yeah, it was different back then. Cops today compared to cops back then are like Boy Scouts you can sue in to the ground. Back then police beatings were quite regular.
Good luck to them in this, given the fact of the commentator above, there is still a burden to convince someone at a time when it was still impossible to film or record something illegal on a voice recorder. The police will just beat the shit out of you and force you to plead guilty under torture.
In 1940? Good lick with that. Even nowadays cops break the law everyday just to quickly close an investigation.

It's as if the more Phelps got promoted, the worst his partners became. Except for Bekowski I think. He was a pretty wholesome friend.
