Pretty interesting video talking about Hair in Videogames and how far the tech has come as well as how demanding it can be, and the amount of work that can go into it these days.

Bring back Tress FX!
But yeah, the opening of Miles Morales shows off some impressively detailed hair.

Ratchet also has very good hair, although that is nonhuman. I'm interested in seeing if they have any character with longer hair and how that will play out. Their short hair, or fur is pretty dope.

Hair in games is like music in games. You will notice it quick if it is really bad.

I think the new Tomb Raider series has the best hair I've seen in games, but that frostbite demo is light years ahead of anything we've seen so far.
Yeah there a video here of some of frostbites Hair tech in the Fifa Games
Pretty impressive (although everyone looks a little like they just walked got out of the Barbers shop and onto the pitch). The only thing that I think that is lacking somewhat is some asynchronous weight to the hair, in that it isn't all going to move uniformly like an entity, but for the most part, it's very good. I think also what helps is that, unlike an Uncharted or Tomb Raider, they're not going for that cinematic cutscene look versus that of the rawness of the TV sports Camera.
That's the best Chloe Moretz has ever looked.Like this?

Hair, teeth, and eyes have been the uncanniest of the uncanny valley thus far. Here's hoping we get a decent standard at some point this generation.
Surprisingly, the new Horizon game has abysmal hair rendering. Floating, clipping, jelly hair that looks really bad.
I think it's impressive in terms of complexity, but I would agree that it looks a little ...buoyant to my mind.

Crossgen bullcrap.
Same reason why the destruction is basically the same as horizon 1.

I wonder how expensive it is. Could we handle a long hair animal with that kind of hair now? In any case within a generation we will probably have 5-6X the Teraflops, so all that excess performance can be used for hair too.

The fact that ea can manage to have more detailed faces in a game that has to render 22 players, a gigantic stadium etc but they can't do decent fighters model in ufc4 that has to render like 1/20 of fifa is infuriating...
It was the early to mid 2000s when physics started playing a much bigger role in videogames. It felt like we had this amazing future ahead of us where destructibility and object movement was going to keep improving to amazing and lifelike levels.
Instead we got 15 years of "here's the game running at a higher resolution with better textures."

Don't forget the cloud making destructible buildings even cooler in crackdown. That was hyped for a while and was a bit flatly received if I remember correctly.
lmao it used the "massive power of the cloud" to show destruction that looked like Red Faction on PS2
What an embarrassment that shit was. Microsoft used to go so far with their bullshit. Every E3 was some new fake shit like Kinect things that would never exist or Minecraft on Hololens that would never exist. Then it was this idea that their server farms would compute things for you in real time...and none of the very simple questions that came up could be answered.
Uncharted 4 had some good looking hair and did many different styles well.

Haha I was just about to post that I've been replaying Uncharted 4 and Nathan's hair looks superb.
That game still looks fuckin nuts SIX years later
