Tiger Woods 08 (Photo Game Face)
I grabbed Tiger Woods 08 (360) and gave it a whirl. IMO the TW series is the best sports games EA makes and one of the few I can praise them for.
Last year, I rambled on and on about how cool the character generation is in this game. It's even better this year. Simply amazing IMO. On top of the most detail ever in a face/body generation system, this year you can take a picture of yourself (front and profile) and have the game generate a 3D image of yourself.
Check out the video for what it looks like:

All you have to do is line up some key points on the face (ears, eyes, etc) and the game will generate the rest. I think the results are outstanding and the most realistic yet in a system this easy. The thought of including a character generation system this detailed in an MMORPG gets me fired up. I don't expect everyone to want to use a 3D rendering of themselves in games but the detail is so good that even using a random generate or selecting from thousands of premade options would be outstanding.
When you play Tiger Woods 08, the character animation is very lifelike and fluid. Tiger Wood's (and the other golfers in the game) face is amazingly realistic and his arms (skin tone/texture/muscles) are spot on as well.
Tiger Woods remains a huge stand out game for me simply for the character generation and animations but the entire game is well put together (menus/commentary/multiple game options/online/erc)
I hope an MMORPG in the next five years will be able to handle individual character generations this detailed.
Scarlett Johansson's face is pretty well done. She looks more like Buffy in the far away shot though!
If nothing else, this technology would be cool to use to see how various clothes would look on you with your exact build, face, etc. It would be huge for online retailers. I can picture downloading a catalog in a format that allowed you to recreate the entire catalog with your face/body in it so you could see (for good or bad) how you'd appear wearing the clothes and not just how some super model would look.

It's because Winnow used a bad picture of miss Scarlett.
Much hotter. Give it a little light in Photosnap before you use it this time so her face isn't dark and murky! I want to see hot Scarlett golfing!!

Re: Tiger Woods 08 (Photo Game Face)
Or better yet, since it's golf, find a picture of her where her mouth isn't agape in a "dick wanted" position.

Who cares about her face, how's the rendering on her tits?

Tiger Woods video games don't believe in attractive women.
Re: Tiger Woods 08 (Photo Game Face)
The hair needs work, no game has really gotten hair right. Second Life's new flexible polygon hair is actually the best now.
Look at the details. That's what I'm impressed with. The blemishes, etc are all picked up on the rendered model. For those compleining, show me a game better at taking two pictures uploaded and creating a full 3D model....show me any other game. Whiney bitches!
The Scarlett one was an example done hastily by a computer gaming company. This character gen model blows away anything else out there. It's entertaining in itself when starting the game. It's 100000000X's better than Vanguards!
The facial and body animations are outstanding as well. I applaud any game that advances this area in gaming. Cry2 engine is doing this for physics as well.
Use this one as the example:
That's pretty damn good. Before you start complaining about minor details, give me another game to compare it to.
For non gold fans, TW08 is worth a rental to play around with the char genrrator.

i like the part where it doesn't look like him.
ex: sideburn area.
p.s. they did a good job of making a jock look like a terrorist

Thankfully you're a known moron on these boards so your opinion doesn't mean much.
