After Reeee:

 

[Mister Wolf]

When even a lower budget game like Alone In The Dark looks closer, you know these big time developers like Insomniac and Massive are doing it on purpose.

 

[marjo]

Complaining that a video game character doesn't look like the person portraying them seems like something that people on era would do.

Culture warriors on 'both sides' are insufferable, and more alike than they realize.

 

[MayauMiao]

We now know Neanderthal came from a galaxy far, far away..

 

[Gideon]

Only the hair is different I feel like if they changed the hair it would look quite similar to the actress that hair is just absurdly ugly.

 

[unclbenn]

Now someone go through the trailer and cherry pic the shots where she looks fine.

edit:

*not gonna lie, she still looks like a team america puppet in 90% of the trailer.

 

[Lord Panda]

 

[sigmaZ]

 

[Arsic]

man! is that hair supposed to be a callback to the original star wars 'luke' look?...

Holy shit. The butt chin, the hair, all of it… they were trying to make female Luke this whole time hahahaha.

Why was this actress used? Holy money flushing down the toilet Batman.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

When will western devs stop this self-sabotaging? This is madness at this point. I was thinking about buying this at launch but I'll wait a bit before picking it up. I can't support this crap with day one money.

 

[hemo memo]

She should sue them.

 

[ComputerBlue]

 

[Horatius]

she def answered the call

 

[Danjin44]

Death Stranding also uses actors... Why can't western devs do this?

 

[Lionel Richie]

Why does she look like she could be the lead singer from Quiet Riot? Not like this bros!

 

[yurinka]

What's the point of hiring an actress if they are not gonna use her likeness?

They hire her for her job acting and dubbing, not for her likeness. I mean, whoever played Craig in Halo I assume didn't look like him/her:

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I bet I know who her father is…

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Why do western devs have to transform some of the hottest women in the world from gorgeous real-world talent into the fucking Samiad:

 

[Oddvintagechap]

why does this shit matter

 

[Sacred]

Check the steam curator page..

Reeks of Sweet Baby Inc.

 

[night13x]

This was done at the request of the head IGN france editor who warned UBI that this hot real life actress when accurately represented in a game may cause female gamers to comit suicide due to not being able to live up to the expectations of digital pixels. REEEEE also came in and confirmed this as factual evidence.

or something.

Oh well - it's an ubi game (which are usually shit these days). This will help people finalize their decisions to skip this game.

 

[MiguelItUp]

why does this shit matter

It's really important to some folks, it's wild. I just wanna play a fun and good game, lmao.

 

[Danjin44]

why does this shit matter

I dont know...maybe and just maybe people want appealing looking main character in their game?

In any entertainment you want your main character to look cool and appealing as much as possible.

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

It's a shame... I like the pet.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Hey guys,

I have applied to Ubisoft for a job in character design and modeling. I submitted a sample of my work, along with my reference model.
What do you think?

She needs to be overweight, have black glasses and dyed purple hair.

 

[Fess]

Holy shit. The butt chin, the hair, all of it… they were trying to make female Luke this whole time hahahaha.

Hah yup

 

[Pimpbaa]

Lucy Skywalker

 

[Sleepwalker]

Big dyke nrg

IF there's romance in this game it will be 100% gay.

 

[Dazraell]

She looks like what could happen if someone would prank the artist and changed all of the reference photos to images of bats or something like that and artist just shrugging and rolling with it

 

[Mokus]

[iorek21]

Funny thing is that male characters never suffer this kind of abomination.

Wonder why…

 

[Pop]

Well you ain't gonna get that either

Someone had to say It. Congrats man.

 

[balls of snow]

Shame. Kassandra was hot af, beat the crap outta Eve I have to say.

Yes how dare we ask for the main character to be decent looking…

 

[SJRB]

> hire a beautiful lady to voice and motion-capture your character
> go out of your way to make in-game character not beautiful

Are these people actually retarded? Like legit braindead?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Classic Ubishit.

 

[archangelmorph]

How you design a woman for modern audiences:

I KNEW I'd seen her before somewhere…

Spoiler

 

[CGNoire]

Those images are BS and propoganda in there own right. They purposely took shots of her in mid speech to make her look like a freak while choosing the hottest photos of the actress online. The premise of wtf western devs still stands though.

She looks cute. And yes i do agree and think they took off her makeup. Yet she still looks cute.

 

[CGNoire]

man! is that hair supposed to be a callback to the original star wars 'luke' look?...

I like the hair

 

[mckmas8808]

Why did they change her like that?? This is like the definition of what's wrong with western game development. They take someone beautiful and make the person uglier for literally no logic reason at all.

Time to vote with my wallet. I'll get it dirt cheap or on Gamepass another year. I still have the whole Jedi saga to go through anyway, plus No Rest for the Wicked, Ghost of Tsushima, Shadow of the Erdtree and nearly 10 games I'm currently playing. No problem keeping the wallet closed here.

Those images make the character look worse than she does in the game.

 

[Gp1]

Now someone go through the trailer and cherry pic the shots where she looks fine.

That nose is pure 70 dollars MSRP art.

Maybe they should hire the $90.000 AI artist to remodel this one.

 

[scoobidoo112]

Well we can't have evil, toxic boys and their male gaze looking at a woman and finding her attractive... that would trigger people on Twitter! People could feel offended!

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Dev- Hey boss, we perfectly captured our beautiful model's looks using this top of the art motion and likeness capture technology, we even animated the...

Art Director- Wait, stop right there... go back... yes... now fuglify... fuglify... fuglify... yes, that's it. Good job, it's perfect now!.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Straight up got the Neanderthal look going on. What have they done to the character model?

 

[Kikorin]

At least we don't lack the "black short hair strong female character", I was worried when 1 min into the trailer still wasn't shown:

 

[Banjo64]

I hate the west.
