Horizon: Zero Dawn

Forbidden west

[vaibhavpisal]

Does she have moustache in Forbidden West?

Looking at first image.

 

[Esppiral]

She always has looked a little bit off.

It's a shadow.

 

[N0S]

In trend with Sony's ugly female protagonist narrative.

 

[cormack12]

It's all fun and games until someone gets a Jesse Faden jawline.

 

[scalman]

Maybe she just ate some more
But i see more facial emotions there so i like that. I mean we gonna look into her back most times anyway. And she looks ok not some model look

 

[Diddy X]

Holy shit we have now surpassed Toy Story no doubt.

 

[farmerboy]

Botox?

 

[cormack12]

Botox?

uh-uh

ro-Botox

Don’t start this bull shit. We’d all lick her chocolate starfish.

[Raonak]

She looks mostly the same. She doesn't look much older ether, which means it must take play right after frozen wilds.

 

[Synless]

Ok, she is hot. I have always found Aloy derpy looking though. I’d argue the render doesn’t match the quality of this woman in real life.

 

[Portugeezer]

Her expressions are exaggerated/cartoony, but I dig the look.

Pfff, you're responding to a 9/10 chad with 10" meat.

 

[Markio128]

Yep, because Kait from GOW5 is a real hottie.

 

[Dodkrake]

Alloy is also somewhat de-aged. She's what, 16, 17 on the first game?

 

[SantaC]

She always has looked a little bit off.

Looks like a feminist

 

[BabyfaceRe]

Pretty sure they've slightly changed the structure of her face to allow for more detailed animations. I totally felt her face was off too but then saw the vastly improved lip sync and expressions I realised that's why.

It's the same for the NPCs too, including the returning character .

 

[Tschumi]

looks like her actress is older and a bit chubbier, perhaps... nobody's fault, at least they're not being shallow and touching her up sticking to the motion capture tech that they've made into an artform~

 

[Yoboman]

I think there’s just a lot more animation going into the face

 

[Tschumi]

also, needless to say, trawling through footage trying to find 'helpful shots' might seem straightforward, but it's a step away from being selective and looking for awkward angles, filtering out more legit moments.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Beautiful actress, and highly detailed graphics...A shame someone maxed the derp slider

 

[Rikku-X]

I just found her 3D scan model.

 

[Von Hugh]

 

[MrSec84]

I don't see anything wrong with it, I mean Guerrilla aren't on Naughty Dog's level of faces or even Santa Monica, but the quality is massively improved from Zero Dawn.
It's a stylized realistic look, so it's not going to look indistinguishable from real life Humans, even the UE5 Metahumans still have something of the Uncanny Valley look too them, but these are getting better.

 

[wipeout364]

I don’t understand why Developers pay these great looking models, then scan them and beat their digitized image with an ugly stick. If they don’t care just get somebody in the studio to do it that’s already on the payroll, the voice actors are different in a lot of cases anyway.

For all Kojima’s faults when he pays a model to be in his game, the model in the game looks like the actor, which makes sense to me.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Life is good in the forbidden west.
So a bit fat expected.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

The actress is hot no doubt.

Aloy is at best a bj on a lonely night.

There is no way I would lick Aloys anything. Regardless what you sicos say. It would be sweaty and wiped with a leaf if your lucky.

 

[Sevenfold]

Gonna show my arse here but what game is lower pic?

That’s how I like my tribal cavewomen. I’d make her peel off her little moleskin undergarments and give me the dirtiest sloppiest head you could imagine. I’d just toss her a bronze coin and she’d think I am some sort of deity.

 

[JimmyRustler]

She looks like she gained a few pounds.

Not a game, that's the actress

 

[Kilau]

Horizon always had some funky faces. Aloy looks more detailed now for sure and maybe fuller to allow for more expressions.

 

[Thirty7ven]

She’s not a super model no, and that’s just fine.

Would love to see how the wives of many members on NeoGAF look like, it would be an incredibly interesting thread.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

What say you fuzzy britches.

 

[Dodkrake]

Not a game. That's the actress. Alloy looks pretty close to her.

 

[lh032]

i noticed that too, i believed should be an easy fix, its up to the developers whether it worth the time to fix or not

 

[Jaysen]

She always looks like she just smelled a nasty fart and is trying to determine if it’s one of her own.

Worse than her face is her hair that is constantly moving on it’s own as if it was a nest of snakes.

 

[Mithos]

Not a game. That's the actress. Alloy looks pretty close to her.

Wish she was up to Sylens level quality "close" though.

 

[Fuz]

Did she put weight since the first game?

 

[MOTM]

From the comments in this thread, you know already none of them even get close to a female in real life.

 

[nush]

2021 - Attractive women bad.

 

[Orta]

She's always reminded me of a tranny Gareth Bale.

Would bum. (Aloy, not Gareth).

 

[NahaNago]

she's always looked off to me. I'm guessing part of the reason is they are going for a almost realistic but obviously 3d. Of course they also weren't going for the attractive route as well but more of the outdoorsy country rugged type, which is not your usual main character in a movie or game.

I probably wouldn't be as critical over her looks if they just went the typical hot female character. I can't tell if this is a good thing that we are focusing on her facial features or a bad thing.

 

[rickybooby87]

Probably just aging her up a little bit. She still looks good, just a more mature Aloy.
