4 Reasons Why You Need to Watch this L.A. Noire Mini-Doc
In case you don’t remember the awesomeness that was Rockstar’s ’40s mystery L.A. Noire game and its totally fucking incredible facial animation and characterization (I previously said “These guys are climbing out of the uncanny valley on the far side!” and I stand by it) here are four reasons why you should take 3 and a half minutes to watch this video:
? It has new scenes from the game
? It has more of the mind-blowingly fantastic character animations from the game
? It shows the ridiculously thorough manner in which they capture all the details of an actor’s face
? It also shows the digital version of Fringe‘s John frickin’ Noble
Sweet zombie Jesus, people. This game cannot come out quick enough.
