Would you rather play a UFC game composed of zombie like stick figures?
I for one care about the facial expressions and emotions conveyed. These are the little things that allows computerized characters to feel human, and lifelike.
Aside from the graphics and gameplay department, I have been hoping developers would delegate a team solely devoted to creating human behavior (i.e. expressed through facial expression and body language). If fighters can express emotions through body language using
explosive techniques to strike, grapple, block, counter, take down their opponenet, etc. that looks realistic and lifelike, that would add tremendous realism to a video game.
Next-next generation (PS4, XBox1) gaming is about adding more human realistic quality to computerized characters including better artificial intelligence, hopefully, at least for me. Gameplay will obviously always be and should be top priority.
