Alyx could be seen smiling, frowning, grimacing, and accurately forming every syllable of her dialogue, all in real time. The lip synching is based on wave-pattern recognition, which will not only allow Valve to more easily localize Half-Life 2 in many different languages, but will also provide benefits to mod makers to reap the benefits
Indeed, Half-Life 2's characters are so detailed that even the characters' eyes are modeled in great detail. So when Alyx was made to look toward the screen, the effect was that she was looking right at us, rather than staring blankly at nothing, as game characters tend to do.
Objects will have realistic mass--in the pier sequence, one zombie hurled a barrel at Freeman, which rolled toward him but was stopped short by a shotgun blast. Objects have realistic buoyancy as well--some float, while others sink. Killed characters will slump down in lifeless heaps as "rag doll" physics kick in. If a zombie standing near a wall takes a close-range shotgun blast, you might see it slam backward against the surface and slowly slide down. The improved physics engine of Half-Life 2 should not only help make the game look more believable, but it will also figure into some of the game's puzzle-solving elements
Woohoo!!!
Very nice!!!
let's hope it plays as good as it looks
finally a game with eyes done right :eek:
