As much as the piece was nicely done in a dramatic performance way, I couldn't help but think of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Measure of a Man" and indeed, after reading through the comments here, Westworld.
Heavy Rain Creator Shows Off New Game Engine With Short Film

I hope something like this makes those people realize that graphical improvement is about a lot more than just upping the polygon count. Animations and lighting are way more important to create believable characters and immersive ingame environments.ph0b0s123 said:
It pleases me that, as of late, more game developers seem to understand the importance of those things. Just look at Battlefield 3, Max Payne 3 and RAGE (despite that game's flaws).
This trailer is a nice addition to that list, even though it's not even a game. Though I would like to see a broader range of motions in the facial areas. Us humans can really make some crazy faces.
What about ME3 with this engine? Or any RPG with this engine.Manji187 said:
Graphics have never really QD's weakness though.
Gameplay, storytelling, and voice acting has.
I don't really see that changing with this tech demo.

That was beautiful.
I must be having an emotionally unstable day, because when she said she was scared, I burst into tears.
Take my money Quantic Dream, take all of my money ;_;

that was amazing. just wow. if this comes out for the pc, i will get it. impressive work there. hats off.
The flow of the events and the capability of mimicking human emotions using the core engine is definitely impressive--but so far I only think "Wow, this would be an awesome an emotional film!" then "Wow, I can't wait to play this game!"
I'm not sure what avatar I'm meant to play as in the trailer, what the core mechanics of the game would be, or even a freaking *goal* I'm supposed to reach for in the game. It works great at tugging our heart strings and feeling connected with the android character, but I don't know if we're playing as the android (and trying to be human? Live? Be accepted as something living?) or the male voice off-camera (Work at his 9 to 5 job with no issues with the products? Solve any flaws or bugs found in products? Make sure he doesn't get fired for letting this Android go?). It's definitely a good teaser trailer, but for me I don't know if would appeal as a story for a game.

Sorry, I found the android's performance to be lacking. I couldn't tell what emotions she was having, her face didn't seem to move enough. She was saved by the voice actor, but still. I'd like some more emotion for this kind of short.
And this might sound strange coming from a straight guy, but I'd like to see them do a demo with a guy. Women are pretty and all, but men are the ones with the muscles. Just once, I'd like to see a game engine that does the muscles right.

The android can speak and comprehend speech, meaning she comes preloaded with information. Adding social mores such as "don't walk around with your tits out" seems like a reasonable step.
The human eye is naturally and visually wet, animators and artists often go out of their way to simulate the wetness of the eye with highlights. Without tear ducts she'd have glossy, doll-like eyes.
