Very cool.
Wonder if they're taking a cue from the voice modulation etc that EQO is working on?
One concern though..
*faint grin*
Since this is a Japanese-created game... will the mouth movements 'fit' our words- or will this look like Godzilla? The mannerisms and emphasis placed on words is VERY different when you compare Japanese to English. Japanese are very expressive people.. hehe I giggle everytime I see the podcasts with Yoshi-P and his associate and watch their expressions and mannerisms.
(reminds me of when I lived in Okinawa... hehe)
One thing I've always been curious about: if a pre-existing game has a certain tech that allows for certain things (aka multiple seating types, multiple emotes, the ability to do that 'speech pheromone' thing mentioned above...
Why can't later games access it too? And use it to make their game better?
Is it purely resource allocation?
Seems if its 'already been done' uploading the code would be... easier than recreating the wheel an plugging in your own emotes and so on...
That said, I'm not a computer program or game developer... so could be MUCH harder than it seems. Just something I wondered about....
