2011: Year in Gaming

L.A Noire’s MotionScan engine
Rockstar’s 1950’s detective thriller comes to life with the now defunct Team Bondi’s MotionScan engine, with bought life to a polygonal character like never seen before. L.A Noire had a star studded cast with Aaron Staton from Mad Men in the lead playing the protagonist, a straight as an arrow detective named Cole Phelps. Each and every actor’s performance completely burst out of the screen as every emotion was conveyed. Not to let this tech slide, Team Bondi built a fantastic interrogation system around this, which made you rely on every instinct to tell truth from lie. The terrible price to pay is sending an innocent man to jail. We should see this tech surfacing in a recently announced game called The Whore of the Orient, it’s being made by the same director as LA Noire.
