Watching all those beta videos, i see there are next to no facial animations in any of the units. I’m not talking about randomly shaking heads, units obviously need to have proper, blizzard quality facial and talking animations. Not a single unit has even remotely acceptable level of animations in this area.
I’m aware it is “beta”. But you can’t just finish almost 2200 units’ (number according to a developer) facial animations in 1 month till 2020. Cutscenes are already scrapped, immersion for campaigns probably already gone, you can’t make it even worse with lack of this animations. If the game releases with this state, it will be unacceptable for a Blizzard game.

There is some lip sync for some units, though I can’t remember if I’ve seen that through the editor or in-game but they have some actual lipsync now because they match up the phonemes of what they’re actually saying.
I don’t own beta, but as far as i see in all the videos ive watched, i couldn’t see any lip sync and animation quality of acceptable levels personally. Some units seem to have some levels of animations, but they look like a place holder version or something.
yeh so far no facial animations and i hope its just placeholder for beta
When I get home from work I’ll mess around a bit in beta matches and the world editor. Come back with something more definitive than “IDK it’s somewhere I saw”, sorry about the vagueness.
except for NE all races has lip sync now.
Ist not perfect but they got it
You sure? Watching a stream now, Peasant’s Footmen, Mountain King, etc. nothing has lip sync. They just shake their heads pointlessly
I play the beta every day and the Units moves their lips. no often and sometimes it looks weird but they do.
That’s just a bug that’s gonna be fix,stop arguing about not impotant things…
Some lip sync is there, its absence is clearly because it’s beta.
I’m sorry, having no lip sync, next to no facial animations in a 2019 Blizzard game is a non-important issue to you? Why the hell are you interested in a “visual update game” then?

I still hold out hope that they will add facial animations and lip syncing (at least equal to SC2 in quality). It is the beta so Im optimistic and holding out hope.
They have facial animation!
I played the beta 10 minutes ago and all Units except for NE and some other Units, all got lipsyncs.
And as other said its a beta.
Do people forgot what a beta actually does?

lip animations got messed up in the latest patch and is now no longer present for some reason. the humans and the orcs had them but lost them again. i tested each of the 3 races available before the last patch and their lip animations is now absent.
I think they do.Also,they compare Beta and Demo Graphics and says that it’s a downgrade…People don’t see that Demo is the final product…
Just a bug,maybe they’re testing better version of lip sync (the old one is to slow and avalible only for English) I’m sure that they will add it with new patch or release
they will likely add it back but, it makes little sense to remove it and then add it back.
Yes. And they keep mixing it up with a Dev Build.
