Lip Sync

[DUNK]

Does anyone else find the lip sync for this game really, really inconsistent? It looks great on some characters and seriously bad on others, even in pre-rendered cutscenes. (Miller in the first cutscene, Eliza Cassan, etc.) It's not really a huge deal and its my only real complaint with the game, it just takes me out of the moment sometimes.

Yeh well ive met ppl in RL who mumble lol so no biggy!
Do u always look at the mouths of ur friends & family wen u talk to them? i kno i dont, i mostly make eye contact haha
On a more serious note (it could b better) but yeh ur kinda right in wat u say, maybe there will b an improvement in the nxt 1

I was just watching an immersive news cast by Ms. Cassan when I noticed it on her, pretty badly. I throughly enjoy this game, but I really do wish the lip-syncing was more up to snuff than what it currently is.

It's bad, yeah but after playing for a bit you do get used to it. What's more jarring to me is the quality of Adam's model in comparison to most other non-essential NPC's during conversations.

[Olddawg]

It is a bit of a discrepancy between the two. Adam's model is top-notch, while some of the civilians walking around Prague have these sorts of.. "chalky" complexions. It's hard to explain, but they look less refined.

Didnt try english yet but in the German Voiceover theres barely any sentences that Match up, not even on Jensen or other important Characters.

It's not just the lip sync that is bad, but the animation for it as well.

Actually, many of the animations in this game are rather dopey.

The facial animation tech is worse than 13 year old stuff from half life 2

I really enjoy the animations for lethal takedowns and I love the Icarus landing animation. Beyond that though, I agree, the animations are a bit wonky especially in dialogue scenes.

[Olddawg]

Yes. The combat scenes and augmentation actions are well done. Everything else is wonky, as you said. I am still enjoying the game, however.

The dialogue mouth animation would work perfectly with this...

Adam Jensen sounds like Keanu Reeves doing a bad Clint Eastwood impression.

It depends. There are some characters in the game who have pretty amazing facial animation, others are not so great. Probably focused on certain ones more during development, based on how important they are.

Yeah, I was really surprised by how nuanced (possible spoiler ahead) Talos Rucker's facial animations were. Fortunately, the game still manages to shine in spite of the sometimes awkward animations.

I've noticed this as well, it's odd given how good most of the rest of the animation in the game is. Could just not be the team's forte
