Sega used to be a very talented company, if you can believe it.

The Japanese are honestly masters of vidya faces. I don't know how they do it. RE4 and Silent Hill 2 to 4 looked generations ahead due to the faces.

Do they? Playing the game back in the day I thought it was distracting how the main models looked ok but the majority just had that uncanny shrinkwrapped "mask" look

Only the female models were any good, they looked a generation ahead of the male characters for some reason.

Proof the developers were straight. Horniness is a huge motivation for artistic achievement since the dawn of humanity.

Is this samefagging? Shenmue's faces looked "okay". The only really impressive faces were a couple main characters, almost everyone else looked like they were cardboard cutouts.

You simply can't appreciate the artistry and genius of FromSoft games

It is the eyes.
Specifically, their beliefs and social ques are strongly concentrated around using your eyes and upper face. Coincidentally this is also the the part that causes the most uncanny reactions from people when it is done wrong. So, they have more experience and developed skill with shaping faces by stubbornly tackling the hardest part first.

they're flat but nothing else from the era comes close even still. seriously show me one game from 1999 with faces like that.

Nozomi has an (maybe more than 1) official render/artwork where you see her nipples through her nitted sweater.

I tell you if Shenmue came to the PS2 after the Dreamcast died it'd be what GTA is today.

I can't really see that. 99% of GTA's appeal was killing anybody you wanted and Shenmue doesn't have that.

iirc they used 3d scans for faces, back when the tech was new for games

True. Just look at how well Yakuza did on the PS2. Having it be an Xbox exclusive is a mistake.

well that's a little unfair considering the other 6th gen consoles weren't quite out yet in 1999
