Will this be the next game by the Heavy Rain guys?

Supposedly it's only a tech demo to show off their new motion capture technology... but I want it to be a real game! I'll borrow a PS3 for it.

So...what is this suppoused to prove? Is it suppoused to be facial motion detection? I guess its pretty good but...feels more like the start of a movie than a game.

Oh their tech is about capturing the body motion, facial motion and speech all at the same time, with multiple actors at once. It gives a much better acting result.

Apparently Avatar and Tintin have been captured that way. Compare that and this demo to for example Heavy Rain and you'll know what they mean.

And yeah it's hard to imagine how they'll make a game out of this... but anything is possible. Remember that tech demo for Heavy Rain, when everything was still so ugly? It had the main character auditioning for the role and she was ugly and annoying.
