What is the "Uncanny Valley" you ask?
Recently playing Medal of Honor, I've been coming across a few of these points mentioned in the video. While feeling immersed in the environments and the situations that you come across, it is the little things that take you out of the moment. Getting stuck on a little piece of debris on the ground, forcing you to walk around it, when in actuality you would walk over it. Feet going through the ground, and of course the facial animation, but thats a ways away from pefecting in game.
I am excited to see what game companies (Especially Ubisoft) have in store for us, in terms of making it to the otherside of the Uncanny Valley, which I think, is not too far off, Ive seen some close calls, and think that very soon we will be climbing out the otherside.
