PhotoGameface in GT5?

[Black Chamber]

If you have played Tiger Woods 2008-2010 on the PS3, then you know it has the ability to capture your face via the PSEye, for use on your created character in the game. It actually works quite well and the game is a lot more enjoyable because of it.

For rally races in GT5 - or just the ability to race without a helmet in all races in GT5, the feeling of seeing your own face on the driver - both during the pre-race preparations in the garage and during replays - would be incredibly cool!

We already know that the PSEye will be used to track our head movement so that the cockpit view is even more realistic - but imagine the possibilities of using the PSEye to capture our actual face for in-game use, or even to take pictures of things to use as textures in a livery editor.

Incredible possibilities. TGS can't come soon enough!

Well for starters it would have to be called something different as EA has "Photo Gameface" trademarked. Not sure if they own a patent to it either.

But any ways, I wouldnt mind seeing it. It would be rare to see the driver anywhere but it would be welcomed if incorporated. But if its not there I wouldnt loose sleep over it.

But the Photo Gameface works incredibly well, especially is you use a digital camera and upload them your selves. My TW 10 and Fight Night characters look like me so much its scary. (still dont know why its not in Madden)

A virtual driving licence with photo(all stats incl.) would be awesome.

Well then, PD/Sony could call it "My Driver" or even "Race Face" for all I care - I just would love to have that feature.

As for when you would see it - look at GT5P and how the pre-race screen is presented. You see your driver walking around the garage getting ready while the crew readies the vehicle. Your manager is there talking to you and in that screen you could see your custom face in it;s entirety.

During a race, you could choose to wear an open-faced helmet, or no helmet at all - that way, you could see yourself behind the wheel. Who knows - maybe PD has incorporated a winner's circle where you and the other two racers stand on a podium to accept your trophy and your face would be visible there as well.

Actually, that is a really good idea! 👍

Now that would be cool. Never thought of that. A drivers license with your picture and eligible classes on there.


@ Black Chamber - Race Face... I love it

Awesome idea!

+1! 👍

That would make GT5 even more immersible and fun!

i for one, seriously hope they do add something like this, and the ability to customise your drivers outfit etc. would make the game more personal to each player and give an increased sense of realism

I do hope for this as I hate Driving a Blue Vette with Yellow gloves and helmet. 👎

Judging by the amount of info we have from GT5, I doubt this would be included. I mean it would be great! But I think all cars with damage would take precedence over this. I did hear that PSEYE will be used in GT5 though... So you never know.

I ain't racing without a helmet, no sir, not me.

Did they do the photo license thing already?

 

[Maggot666PL]

Yeah.

When is the TGS exactly?

 

[Maggot666PL]

24th of September.

I am very excited about the TGS. I think it will be the information blowout we all hope it will be.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 had this face scanning technology so its not exclusive to one developer or anything. It would be a nice addition to GT (if your not wearing a helmet) but im sure its not a major priority for PD at the moment, maybe one day it will come with a patch of something.

It would probably be easier to port your Home face into the game, that way Home does all the calculation work and GT just renders it into the game. It would probably look more accurate aswell.

I think it would be a great feature to have in Gran Turismo 5; for both your driver's license picture and your in-game character.

The main feature I want to see in GT5 though is rain. They have been talking about it for a long time now and I sincerely hope that they show it or talk about it at the TGS.

Well, that and exactly what it is the PSEye will do for GT5.

I know about that function - I mean for things like "Race Face" or taking pictures of things to be used as textures on your vehicles, etc.

 

[Havok_]

interesting idea but a costomizable driver would be enough for me

Before playing the game you should take a picture of you.
With that, it will be able to calculate your weight and add it to the car.
