Kojima impressed by LA Noire's Motionscan technology, but isn't using it
Motionscan isn't what Kojima needs for his next game
Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has been talking about how impressed he is with the Motionscan animation technology used in LA Noire.
Kojima was invited to the studio to observe the technology at work and believes that Motionscan facial animation technology will open up new avenues for adventure games.
He explained in an interview with Edge: "I'm very interested in [LA Noire], and I'm waiting for it to be released in Japanese. I haven't played it yet but I was able to go to the studio where they were [performing the facial capture]. The technology is absolutely fantastic. Nevertheless, for the next game I want to make, it isn't necessarily the technology I need, so I don't think it goes along with the next game I would like to create."
Kojima added: "This technology, regarding facial expressions - that affect the outcome of the game - I think that's a huge element that from now on will change the direction of adventure games."
Thanks CVG.
