Fight Night Round 4's facial capture/replay upload tech
EA's facial capture tech and replay upload service has made it possible not only for you to see what it would look like to have your ugly mug destroyed by Mike Tyson in Fight Night Round 4, but also to show the world exactly how bad your beating was. (It also works for the Tiger Woods series and several other titles, but that's not nearly as humiliating.) Here's how it works.
1. Start by taking two pictures of yourself with any digital camera, cell phone, etc., and dropping them onto your computer. You'll need a straight-on shot and a profile.
2. Go to EASportsworld, sign in or create an account, and then choose to create a Photo Game Face. The site will walk you through the upload and setup process, which is very simple and takes about 5 minutes.
3. Once you've reached that last screen, you're ready to turn on your game system and log onto, in my case, Xbox Live. In Fight Night Round 4, the Create A Boxer menu gives you the option to "Download a photo". Selecting that will let you access the photo you just uploaded to EA's site. The recognition system isn't flawless, but you can help a lot by moving some indicators around during the boxer creation process to point out where, for instance, your eye or jawline are in the photo.
Your photo will be turned into an animated game character, which you can then tweak as much or as little as you like.
Fight Night also allows you to edit and upload replays from any fight and use them as embedded videos online, which means you can then show the world exactly what it looks like when something like this happens:
