If you liked this trailer, you REALLY need to react to Gears of War E-Day. The trailer was done in engine. It's done with Unreal Engine 5, prerendered using only the in game assets for the trailer and in that short 2 mins there is soooo much to unpack. Just may be one of the greatest game trailers I have ever seen.

It will be interesting to know York with your level of expertise in animation how likely you think rumours of character creation and the like are given what you see in the trailer. Whether people like it or not character creation is something fans are keeping an eye out for so would be good to know what you think the direction they have took is as an educated guess.

None of the Fable games up to now has had character creation. Expecting something to be included that was never part of any previous Fable game, might be setting yourself up for disappointment. Gender choice, cosmetic items and appearance change based on morality alignment were all part of previous Fable games, so expecting similar for Playground's version would be reasonable.

@@GMC80 yeah you're right. I was just wondering because there are rumours that there would be pre-set faces to choose from and was curious to know if that could work with the levels of detail in the animations present in the trailer. But your right we shouldn't expect anything that has not been in previous games or has not been shown yet.

York can I ask you a few questions? No worries if not. Hopefully you can just answer it from a technical view point. It looks like they have hired someone to mo cap the main character in this game and there's a few rumours going round about it which you may be able to clarify: 1. Can you use one persons facial mo cap animations for one character model (say the girl in the trailer) with another 3d character model? So could you copy the mo cap facial animations from this main character and maybe use them on a different face entirely? Is that possible or are the mo cap animations fixed to a very specific character in mind? Would you ever use one actors facial mo cap animations on multiple 3d character models? 2. How flexible is the face customization with this level of animation in a game? Would you expect this level of animation to make it so you have only one fixed face and character model or is there a room for their to be facial and character customization with this level of animations. Again if you don't want to answer that's alright. But hopefully you can answer from a technical view point maybe? Don't want you to get in trouble 😉

@YorkReacts

Ай бұрын

Ok so to answer your first question yes you can use facial animation from one character and transfer it to another character as long as they share the same rigging structure and setup. The face bones are usually the same name or share the same naming convention ect. Meta human is a good example of this and you can do this in meta human currently with version 5.4 and previous releases if you have a good coder. For question 2 - You can make variations of the face or customizations ect but you have to remember that if you go crazy and make very different faces like an ORC or something non human where the basic anatomy of the face changes then you will probably get some very weird results when you try to play the mocapped facial animation onto the Orc ect lots of tweaking will be needed after that as a separate file and animation export. Hopefully that makes sense haha 🤣

Thanks for your input on this. The Fable reboot is my most anticipated game in so long that I'll be gutted if it doesn't live up to its promise. My only real concern for the Fable reboot is the tone. Colorful storybook visuals, music, and corny humor are paramount to the experience for me and without them all it's just another game using the Fable name to sell it. Not that it would be bad, just not Fable. First off, I don't really want it to look realistic. I loved the story book asthetic of the previous games, particularly the original. I want colorful, fantastical, magical, etc. The ideas are there, but visually it looks like a more realistic take on the storybook world and far less colorful and stylized than I would like. I highly doubt it, but i really want the storybook cutscenes to be in the game still. Perhaps start out as pages from the book and then transition the scene on the pages to real time? That would be great. Equally important is the music, if they don't get Russell Shaw and Danny Elfman back it just won't be the same. Like a Donkey Kong Country game without David Wise composing. Third and also as equally important is the humor. If it's not the corny/British humor of the originals. *EDIT* One other minor concern is that the reboot is being made by a studio that to my knowledge has only ever made racing games. That does raise some concerns for me as well. Yet sometimes a studio can do amazing work outside of their norm. In the end i j8st hope the games turns out great and the franchise can return because Fable 1 & 2 are some of my absolute favorite games. A positive out of a new studio is the game can be kept in check. I always liked Peter Molyneux. Without him the games wouldnt exist, but I think he was also detrimental to the games. He always seemed like an overly enthusiastic person with great ideas, which is what i like about him, but sadly they never worked or felt dully realized more often than not.

His feet are clearly off the ground, or there is a trick of the light making it feel as though his feet are off the ground.

At 11:10 in the video, you were questioning the ethnicity of the main character. I wouldn't say she looks strange. A parent to a biracial child myself, I would say that she looks biracial (half black, half white). They nailed her features. The texture of her hair is fine, but also coarse. Her lips are full, and her skin has a hue to it that, although her skin is fair, she doesn't look quite caucasian. In the black community, we refer to light skinned complexion as redboned. It's when someone appears to have more black features but also appears to be as fair skinned as a person who's caucasian. The yellowish hue to her skin is a dead giveaway. This may be the first biracial videogame protagonist.
