Apparently, the graphics boys at EA are so unfreakingbelievably talented, that Tiger Woods, who probably knows Tiger Woods when he sees him, was fooled by the photorealistic digital version of himself.

Speaking at the Montreal Games Summit, Glenn Entis, EA's chief visual and technical officer, said of Tiger's first take on e-Tiger:

"We really got no response. He just said, 'Yeah?', and it's like, 'Well, did you like it?'. His response was telling; he said, 'Well, when are you going to show me the computer graphics?'. We figured if you can fool a guy who sees that face in the mirror every day, it's got to be working."

Yeah, I don't really buy that line either. But Entis does admit that photorealism doesn't mean squat if you haven't got the non-robotic animation to back it up, which I do believe. The Tiger demo we got at E3 looked great in stills, but when he started speaking, total horror show! Michael McWhertor
