Yes, I currently feel that way. Though it'd make life easier for animators, it would also mean that we would basically would lose all visual "control" over our game. This also means that life turns into a nightmare for engineers.
The big bonus for something like NaturalMotion is a lot of variety without canned animations. But what good is variety if the variety doesn't look real? That's why I'm really curious to see what Backbreaker can do...to see if they can solve the "dead body" issues. I can't wait to see what they come up with personally.
