GTA's Tommy Vercetti Talks MoCap

Posted by simoniker on from the i-only-play-him-on-tv dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an ESCmag feature interviewing Jonathan Sale, the motion-capture actor for Tommy Vercetti in GTA:Vice City. The talk includes some illuminating details on the actual capture sessions for the Ray Liotta-voiced lead character: "The getaway car that the lawyer uses to help Tommy escape at the beginning after the coke deal goes bad was just four metal folding chairs, a Fisher-Price steering wheel (literally) and a wrestling mat covering the 'back seat' so that I didn't hurt myself jumping in."

    which stuff was actually done motion capture. Was the in-game play motion captured? Different movements? Or only the little movie scenes inbetween levels?
