Makes you wonder though doesn't it? Why pay someone a few hundred grand a year, or even millions, when you can use something like that and still get a huge fan base.They will never get old either, so no need for grey hair and wrinkles in Rocky 28 etc.Time will tell I suppose.

We had a talk about this in work (games studio). Apparently it is nowhere near as feasible as made out, I will re-read the email thread tomorrow and explain. Utter vapourware basically

I assumed it was more an example of what they will be able to do later on, with the right development tools etc.A little acorn so to speak.

Pretty impressive imho, well after seeing what they did on half life 2 with the main characters a couple of years ago it has come along way, and even that was pretty damn impressive.

thats got to be a real woman? surely?

The only real hint that it's not real is some of the mouth movements looking a little fake. Blow it up to full TV res and it might not be quite as convincing but it's impressive nonetheless.

I love the phase "uncanny valley" that's used in the write up

well i must say everything else looks uncanny so i wouldn't be at all surprised
