Ninja Theory sets a new benchmark in video game animation

That is a great trailer.
Senua's Sacrifice was already doing great work with facial animation. I think it's possible that they'll approach what's in the video.
Good thing video game companies aren't so notorious for showing off a game and then downgrading it later that the community invented a word to describe the practice—oh wait.
Let's hold our horses until we actually see the game.

It's incredibly disturbing. As games get into higher fidelity, the player will start to actually 'feel' what's happening on screen in great detail. Like watching footage of a battle with someone dying. The impact will be tremendously emotional and visceral.
This might be that kind of game. IOW, hold on to your butts!

For the skeptics, have you seen Senua's Sacrifice? With more CPU and GPU power, I fully believe that Ninja Theory of all people can deliver a game with next level animation on new more powerful hardware.
It wouldn't exactly be the first time either.

It looks great, and they were already one of the top devs in this regard this gen. Still, need to see more than an inengine trailer to take be convinced that they will achieve that visual fidelity. I sure hope so! This is looking basically CG level, although I did spot some weaknesses in the scenery pans.
it's fucking unbelievable. ten years ago i was wigging out about that Heavy Rain trailer because i thought it was such a great digital performance. this completely blows it out of the water.
How about we actually see other next gen games too? Then we can see who actually sets the benchmark
Watch it get a downgrade in shading, LOD and etc. once that runs on an Xbox Series X.
It's like... Yeah, and Uncharted 4 was going to look even better than the released game and run 60fps because they showed it at E3 initially. That's the start of all gens. Lots of bullshots and over-estimations.
Or we can actually discuss the incredible work being done by Ninja Theory now and discuss other games when they reveal themselves.
True, but the thread is about videogame animation, not the mocap (really inpressive brw). We haven't seen the game part of this supossed videogame.
In terms of cutscenes, yeah, it's amazing but I agree, let's see the game in motion first.
Also, let's not forget the incredible actress behind the role, Melina Juergens, she is amazing and so captivating. And to think she is a video editor and Hellblade was her first work.

The original looked even better than the trailers once it was out.
Yeah, I believe in them. I want to see the game part of this videogame, though.
Even if it is in-engine, it doesn't mean it'll look like this. It's a controlled trailer. Classic next-gen bullshots. I'll wait until the game is released.
NT are incredible at facial animations. And that actress was really going all in on that performance
The trailer looked nice but it's in-engine I'd like to see the game running first before making that claim.
Heavenly Sword looked great, but that is actually an example of a game that didn't meet its' target render. Regardless, I am very confident that NT will deliver a fantastic looking game. Just need to be see more to have confidence it will look this good. Not used to seeing next gen games yet, and that Godfall game, while looking pretty good graphically, is not a showpiece software.
That would be nice. How about we see some next next gen games too.
Whether or not the game ends up looking that incredible, that trailer was fucking dope. Sold me, at least, on the idea that I do need to play Senua's sacrifice. Maybe I'll dip into it this weekend. Hard to tell anything about what Senua's Saga will be like, but based on the giant panning shots over the landscapes, I'm getting the impression that this is going to be some kind of huge open world adventure ala God of War. Maybe I'm way off base, but that's the vibe it gave off kind of.
