But Mallie, I contribute in other ways, I lift the spirits of the troops with my charming anectotes. And I am always supportive of new members who make stupid threads about nonsense. Truly, my contribution is one of emotion and wonder, priceless one might say.

Can't say this wouldn't be cool, we can make faces behind our squad leaders back, and it'd look like you were actually talking. Not a terrible device at least. It could be worse, they could be implanting your own face onto your guy.

[ODonnell]

Imho its neat piece of tech and great to see it would be possible to use in PS2. Realistically it has no use in PS2.

[ZeroOneZero]

Role-playing in PS2....gaaaaaaaay. Everyone's going for the ninja look anyways, no point.

[Vorgan]

This seems totally pointless to me, but whatever. If I can disable it and if it doesn't detract from the devs working on stuff that's actually worthwhile, then sure, implement it.

[RSphil]

anyone else thinking WHY? id say it would be a waste of time and resources. lets hope they decide not to bother

[Nobel]

Although I dont find it crucial I can see it working well for filming videos.

Dont >95% of the in game avatars in PS2 have helmets, visors, shades or a hood on. How would we see any facial expressions when they are hidden behind a medics combat helmet for example.

I'd rather they used the CPU, GPU and network resources to show me what weapons my enemy has holstered.

This, specially when the cash shop full face helmets start rolling out.

Yes, but PSU is NC-occupied so they only respond to financial contributions.

If you wanted PSU to reward Loyalty you'd have to grab a cycler and fight to restore the Republic's influence.

[EVILoHOMER]

Please no

[RNFB]

Weapon holstering and vehicle enter/exit animations should be a higher priority than something that the majority of players wouldn't even use

[tazelhoff]

They should make the front of all vehicles have mouths and googly eyes and apply this tech to them.

I like the idea, i think it's very cool, if i played EQ i would be very happy right now.

But an FPS game shouldn't compromise performance over RP elements.

ROFLCOPTER!

If they can refine PS2 to the level where firefights are seamless and lag-free, then I'd be for some experimentation with SOEmote, but it should be a very last priority.
