Just watched the first teaser trailer. There's something in there that really impressed me that I've thought was one of the very FEW weaknesses of the
COH character modeling.
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS.
Check it out, two characters are shown emoting in the video in a way that they never could in COH. As much as I loved the overall customnizability of the faces
in COH, they were always static. You got more emoting done through body language.
Mobile faces really help bring characters to life. If this goes all the way through to the end product (and I have no reason to see why it wouldn't) then
that'll be a great boon to roleplaying and identifying with your character.
I hope we see more overall emotes available in the game too. One of the really fun bits from WoW is the emotes they have including the jokes and the flirts,
which are really funny.
And hey - come to think of it - are we gonna have VOICE emotes?
