I looked at this, said "WOW" and then imagined how would have been in Telltale Games: Markerless Facial Motion Capture Video

    I believe Jurassic Park and The Walking Dead both used mocap, though I'm not sure how extensive it was.

    And suddenly - no more voice actors that can't act visually!

    Probably body. We did some mocap for fight scenes in The Wolf Among Us. I believe this was actually modelled off two of the directors:

    It's always fun when your role demands punching a colleague in the face.

    Quit showing that thing off everywhere, woman. Jeez. It's like you're promoting it or something.

    It does get a bit weird when you've only got a handful of screenshots released.

    Well, mostly I wanted to make the crack about people here punching each other in the face, but I guess it's ok if people think about playing The Wolf Among Us too. :p

    Personally i think it could work for some games while just looking awful for others. It could work for example The Walking Dead because characters like Lee look realistic while it would look awful for Sam & Max because it could look like Sam with a creepy mix of a dog and human head.

    Depends on how many re-takes the puncher insisted upon!

    Full body and facial mocap has out some actors out of business as far as reprising voice roles.

    See replacement of Michael Ironside in the new Splinter Cell or the replacement of the guy who did Garrett's voice in Thief series for 4th game.

    Personally I think that's so uncool. If in particular the voices made the characters.
