Wikipedia: InYou must be registered to see the links, the uncanny valley is the hypothesis that human replicas which appear almost, but not exactly, like real human beings elicit feelings of eeriness and revulsion (orYou must be registered to see the links) among some observers.
Well, OK, sure, that's all true in the general sense for computer graphics. But I'm talking about a problem with DMD as compared to renders by, say, Ptolemy or Dark Silver. There are specific problems with the eyes in this game.that's what I was just going to point to. Uncanny valley is why sometimes when the models begin to become very close to humans, they become repellant.
Maybe Elena and Jennifer's eyes are both just too light, or desaturated, or something, but they aren't as lively as other models. None of the DMD characters seem to be conveying emotion through their eyes like Ptolemy's Dana is capable of.
Anyhow, just an observation. It doesn't detract from the amazing slow burn this game is, and the overall impact of D's reactions.
