Lighting setup changes on a shot-by-shot basis to make the character in focus as appealing as possible. Movies and TV shows work in the exact same way.

? The facial animation in Injustice 2 is even better than this.
It is, and will remain, great but I would still say Dark Sorcerer remains even more impressive given it was months before PS4 released.
Some of y'all be tripping on here.
No shade to Injustice 2, wonderful game but come on.
Injustice 2 gets too close into the uncanny valley, which Uncharted 4 doesn't. Thats really what sets them apart from everyone else. I'm guessing they have better actors too.
Injustice 2 still looks great though.
Wow. I can totally see them doing a first person game now if they really want to.
Got that too. Man, I miss Valve.

I think Injustice 2 does have technically better facial animations overall, but almost to the point where it borders on uncanny valley in some cutscenes. With that said, UC4 has better lighting and textures than Injustice which helps to lend an extra coat of realism to the overall presentation. IMO you could make an argument for either game having the superior presentation with regard to facial animation, it just depends on the cutscene and what you're looking for.

Come on what?
IJ2 gets closer to the "uncanny valley" precisely because the animation is more realistic and detailed than UC4, especially when it comes to lip syncing.
I could be wrong, but aren't they using the same facial capture tech? Engine, direction, lighting choice etc would definitely play an important role also of course.Come on what?

Also the guy playing was way better at Crash than Nate would be. Total immersion breaking.
I don't think the facial rig used in UC4 was as advanced.
TLOU2 is on another level compared to UC4 though.
I forgot about this scene. I like scenes like this where characters just sit down to talk about stuff. I think I remember Tales of Berseria having something like this between Rokurou and Aizen, and the campfire stuff in FFXV for more examples.
This is very old (I mean the stufff he was trying to do with the games). There was even young Nathan VS Nadine and he even imporetd TLOU characters in Uncharted games and vice versa. he even maanged to make Nathan Drake playable in the Crash Bandicoot game which was so funny.
He wroks with the owner of this channel too. You should check what he does that I mentioned.

Injustice 2 has great looking facial animations but they're exaggerated and not realistic TBH. Almost like an animated cartoon which fits the game style. Uncharted 4 has subtle facial muscle movements and tiny animated wrinkles that are not present in IJ2. Even the pupils in the eyes constrict and dilate in Uncharted 4. Also Muscle and fat deformation. You can even see Drake's jaw bone moving under the skin in one of the scenes and many more subtle details. It's not just the lighting and textures that makes it look better.
Injustice 2 looks weird as hell. You don't see exaggerated facial expressions like that in the real world.
Injustice 2 characters looked like they all had a sudden case of the runs mid-conversation and are trying desperately not to go to the bathroom in their costumes.
Come on what?

Or how to undermine your own argument 101...
I synced and watched the original and modded side by side to get a better perspectives on the lighting shifts. Overall, the fidelity exists in the raw data to convert this game into a First Person Action Adventure and going the route of Half Life or GoW (no cuts). The facial mo-cap and additional tuning by hand on these projects by ND (and a few other devs) are profoundly nuanced and rich in detail.
Looks great but not like a real person, some of you would be the first to die if an invasion of the body snatchers happens
PS4 w/ Custom Firmware. You can decrypt the games, mod files and run them. PS4 Scene isn't moving as fast as the Switch, but there is a good amount of stuff that can be done with CFW.
Camera mod I'd imagine
The environment is rendered so you can just move the virtual camera around
The lighting shifts and animation shifts due to the adjustments of different cuts is interesting to watch from this perspective. Helps highlight the adjustments and work that goes into their cinematography.
Very common trick if you try using noclip in more games actually.
The bonus about this is that now we can show people why there isn't such a thing as a downgrade in gameplay lighting vs cutscene lighting that you can mod. You light cinematic shots per camera setup, and therefore they are a stronger composition to gameplay shots when you give camera freedom to the player.
Yo this channel is amazing
Number 10 in this video is too much
Netherrealm have got to have one of the biggest game to game improvements I have ever seen for a video game. Their graphics and animation had a certain look to them for damn near a decade if not longer, and then IJ2 comes out and is draw dropping how much they have improved.Come on what?
