Call Of Duty: Black Ops Violence “Went Too Far”, Says Treyarch

Call of Duty: Black Ops makes use of a new facial animation capture system so realistic that it had to be toned down for some kills.

“We’ve completely changed the way we do facial animation,” director Dave Anthony told OPM.

“Some of the stuff we’ve done with Gary Oldman’s character is amazing.”

But animation director Dominique Drozdz said that the animation was a little too good in places.

“There were situations going too far,” he added.

“It was a a contextual kill where you were twisting the neck. It was too much. The throat cutting [is] nasty, but that was worse.”

Black Ops got the first review by Official Playstation Magazine UK.

Black Ops is due for release on November 9 for PC, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360.
