Its so Strange....seeing David Harbour in this game

[GuyFawx]

Im curious if the mocap is good in this game as from the trailers it looks a little too wonky mostly the eyes seem to not be correctly done in the trailers. I am a big fan of David Harbours so I hope he did the character justice. I do feel like the mocap is off tho let me know if you own it and its actually done better then what the trailer shows

according to this interview, david only did face-capture and voice for his character:

regarding the overall mocap-quality, i for one was happy with it. at least i didn't notice anything looking weird or cheap. but i guess that highly depends on one's personal standards and expectations.

for his voice work i think he did outstandingly well across the entire emotional spectrum edward goes through during the story - culminating in his secret ending, which is just an absolute blast. you can tell he really must've enjoyed recording those lines. :D

if anything doesn't do the game justice, it's probably the trailers, promoting this game more as some sort of 3rd-person-shooter than what it actually is: an adventure game focused on exploration, puzzles, dialogue, lore and characters - with occasional bits of janky combat.

for me the game turned out to be extremely different from what i expected - for the better. it kinda gave me some 'alice madness returns' vibes. if you're looking for something like resident evil (4-8) or dead space, this is not it.

Cool I honestly dont know what I was expecting just been a fan of this series for a long time and I am glad to hear that the trailer doesnt mirror the actual game in your opinion guess Ima pick it up this weekend then

While he doesn't quite capture the look of Carnby, I have to admit he does a fine job acting in this game

Ya i was just worried that the eyes would distract me because in mocap they are often the hardest part to capture and usually have to be done by hand from an animator. If it isnt done right it totally draws your attention. So its not so much Harbours acting as much as its the attention to detail on the games animators that I was referencing i guess

Both main characters are mocapped well. It's just the other characters whose faces look a little wooden.
