I want RE4 and Festival of Blood. I need to get a PSN card.

[Shizuka]

I got RE4 for $10 back at launch when I was a PS+ subscriber and inFamous for $10 was already cheap.

Im getting RE4! Finally!

Quantic Dream debuts new tech, showcasing "Kara". That's some creepy shit, and it'd be fucking day 1 if that turned out to be a game.

[PringlesXD]

Quantic Dream = Insta-buy. I want Heavy Rain.

What was creepy about it?

Maybe if she had had some kind of malicious expression or something. Otherwise...it's just an android acting human. See it all the time on anime >.>

Rather, my dear vampko, the subject of humanism (or rather, the philosophy bound to it) showcased by robotics has always been tackled by a large amount of science fiction, to the point you could even consider it a staple of the genre- or a subgenre of its own, even.

I mean, last I checked, there was even a game (recently released, too) based on the idea of androids being introduced into society with such precision not even those charming beings of electronics and metal knew they were so. And then all hell breaks loose, dun dun dunn.

It was that even though she was being assembled, there was this moment where you just knew you could be fooled and think she could be a human. That level of realism is the kind I love in games. Or whatever zatrox said.

Ah, that's the problem. I see it so much, I think nothing of it. It's not actually happening, it's just a video game, and the character's been programmed to act as such. It's just like a CG movie pretty much.

Wanna Kara?

[lordryo]

Looks really impressive, I can't wait to see what kind of game they develop using this engine.

[Shizuka]

It's just like a CG movie pretty much.

Except it isn't a pre-rendered CG scene, it was an engine running from a PS3.

And what does that change? It's still an actor playing out a part. That's my point. It doesn't feel 'human' at all to me.

I've gotta agree with vamp this time, sorry Shiz...it just doesn't scream human...though I do get creeped out by those dancing female android robot things...dunno why

I was creeped out during the song, but that's because songs like that always signify that some ghost girl is gonna screw your life over
