[D-realJos]

DeathsHand, his name sounds familiar because he used to hang around Nintendose. I can't remember much of his personality, but the name kinda stuck in my head for some reason. hmm...


Anyway, that video was nice. I wasn't blown away by the lip-synching or the facial animaiton(excelent facial textures, btw), but they do deserve mention.

The graphics on a whole are great. Some parts were awesome, while some other were ok. (although, some of the commentary clips I've seen, totally blew away anything in that video, graphics wise).

I should note however, while the graphics are great, Silicon Knights AGAIN toned them down a little. There were no shadows casted by the characters in the video. I believe the final game will not only have shadows, but it will have dynamic shadows as well(if you remember the very first footage at Nintendo's E3 press conference, the game featured awesome shadowing that stretched, distorted, and contracted according to light sources). The lighting didn't seem very much in placed either, but the textures were impressive as usual, even extremely close up.

The atmosphere and intensity totally blew my away and left that feeling of wonder, while the voice acting was the icing on the cake and just fortified the whole clip.

Now, if only June would hurry up and come...
