Remedy announced that it is going to be working with Imagination Studios for motion capture and character animation on their upcoming title Alan Wake. Any sort of update on the status of Alan Wake is a good thing seeing as how it was announced way back at E3 of 2005 and we still know very little about the game. This new tid bit of information is especially welcome considering the group they are working with for mo-cap and animation.

Imagination Studios has a pretty impressive track record from working with several different studios. They worked with DICE for Battlefield: Bad Company handling all of the motion cap for that game as well as animating all of the 3D cut scenes in Mirror’s Edge. They also worked with Starbreeze an all of the character and facial animations in The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Check out the short video of Bad Company below as an example of their work.
