There's a lot of good things that could come from using actors in games, I for one am tired of the old "make your own story" sandbox kind of game. I want a game that has a great storyline made by people that know how to tell a great story, using real actors. The facial recognition software used in L.A. Noire is amazing and what better game to introduce us to this than a 40's gangster-style thriller - made by Rockstar. Hopefully hiring real actors for games will bring back some of the storytelling I so miss. And seeing actual expressions in faces, for me, is going to make it soooo much better, so much.
