Lifelike animation heralds new era for computer games.

"Extraordinarily lifelike characters are to begin appearing in films
and computer games thanks to a new type of animation technology."

It says it's completely CG, but if you have seen the website of the company you'll see it's only the face that's CG.

We're hard wired for recognising the smallest nuance in a face (unless you have autism). If it's a bit wrong it's utterly wrong. Dead eyes. Sorry, I'm a stickler for that kind of thing

I liked the first Final Fantasy, but even then the CGI just got in the way of the movie. And that was pretty cool CGI.

Honestly, this should be possible with the source engine, but they horribly overdid the character anims in hl2.
