Support NeoGAF

He looks like a complete asshole, just like the first guy.

 

[Menitta]

But what if he has a unique and colorful personality? What then Gaf?

Then he's a good character with a nothing design.

It looks like it was designed in 2012, because it probably was.

Hopefully one of the missions is killing Aiden.

I hate this trend where video game characters have to be "super believable", "realistic", and "hip". Stop this. Now. People play video games and watch movies to escape the boring, everyday elements of reality.

The biggest grossing box office movies are about freaking super heroes these days. That should clue them off.

How are designers so behind the curve on this stuff?

Not to be condescending, but how would you like these characters to look like? A bit whimsical? Fantastical? Cartoony? Please explain or post a picture of how you would like them to look like.

There are other movies than Star Wars and Superheroes:The Big Battle 2 ; and other games than your next AAA with big guns. These may be not the movies you watch and the video games you play, but they exist and others watch them an play them. So yeah, stop this, now, and if I may, get yourself a more solid culture. Some classic literature would do some good too. Then you can come back and make patronizing posts about how people should do things the way you'd like to.

my dude in the image probably doxxing a woman as we speak, well done Ubisoft

God that character design is cringey. Everything from the glasses to the weird, small jacket

Underrated post imo

It's not that I don't see where you're coming from. It's not even that I don't semi agree. But I don't want a super colorful protagonist for a game set in a pseudo-cyberpunk world like Watch_Dogs.

When I want unrealistic characters I'll play Tales of Berseria, or Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Looks like someone pressed random in character creation...

If that were actually true we would have a design that the complainers would like.

 

[Nightbird]

do these people not understand the concept of an NDA?

holy shit.

It's Ubisoft. They "leaked" that on purpose.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Honestly, if you didn't say that it could be the protagonist, I would have thought it was concept art for a random Thug enemy in the game.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

SO we go from generic douchebag to generic hacker? BRava.

He's a geek cause he's got glasses

He's cool cause he's got a wristband

They could gave us the option to remove the wristband.
And the glasses too. It would be great to play with blurry vision.
