Ehh, I personally dont think it takes away from the game itself. I thought she looked like the actress herself.

 

[Sintoid]

Hello, I'm dead, burned and revived into an unknow world, sorry for my makeup and hairstyle not being Korean bitch like

 

[HRK69]

Absolutely ridiculous take. Embarrassing

Enlighten me.

 

[Esppiral]

You're unironically better off having this conversation with a tadpole dude. The tadpole would actually engage in better faith than the progressive male feminists lurking here. Literal photo evidence in front of their fucking faces, and dipshits will act stupid till the end of time and keep giving the same tired, cliched, and retarded excuses:

No makeup
Poor technology
Bad lighting

Meanwhile this is what Asian developed female characters look like with access to the same tech:

I'm sure the usual suspects aka lurking male allies will stumble over themselves like clowns with some stupid fucking excuses as to why Japanese, Chinese, and South Korean devs just magically make the women look like women and not men unlike Western devs.

Bonus points if they regurgitate these stupid Reddit catchphrases:
Gooner
Incel
Never been with a woman
Touch grass

None of these look like real women Instead look like idealised porn dolls, some people need to go outside and see how real women look like, Freya looks perfectly fine, and most importantly like a real human and not like a porn doll

 

[kat_on_the_roof]

Lots of weird comments.

So a woman always has to look beautiful and presentable? What the f….?
Kratos looks like a bowl of play-doh was in an car accident and that's ok?

I don't know. Lots of double standards today.

Only one thing to be done here….lots of love for everyone in the thread. <3

Hundreds of millions in lost revenue from first party game development just for a better ESG score... and ESG is now in the garbage bin. I wonder if the lesson was lost on culturally conservative executives in Japan.

We still have a few years of watching the slow-motion death of games greenlit between 2020-2023, so there's still plenty of time for the truth to sink in.

 

[Gamer79]

Simply many woke activist are involved in making the game. They cannot stand the male gaze. Quote me on this. This game will be a commercial failure.

Neither both of those options, because they are both extreme

The character in a videogame should look like their counterpart actors in real life

For instance, Capcom does this

This is how you do face mocap

Not this

 

[justiceiro]

I wish game companies understand that I come to games because it's a fantasy place we're everyone is beautiful and I can have some peace. Instead, they fill it with ugly bicthes and character that never shut the fuck up with bullshit.

 

[I wasn't selling any]

Tell me you've never woken up next to a woman who isn't wearing makeup without saying it

What is.. I don't even..
Is that a western thing where women look ugly without makeup?

 

[calico]

Uglified female protagonist ✓
Feminising a male IP ✓
Literally a cube of gelatinised woke slop for a companion ✓
Gay coded colour palette ✓

This looks like another winner for Sony.

 

[{insert code here}]

This is the actress

This is the character model in game

Why do they make women look uglier? Is this on purpose?

Comparisons

It's not just the way they look either but every single female they create is masculine AF. Like you could swap a male character model, male voice, and leave the script and animation unchanged and you'd never know a female was the original character.

Why should they look like their counterpart actors in real life? Is there a law?

You want them to look like that because you find that more appealing. You don't get your way and now you open one temper tantrum thread after another just because game don't bend to you will? Bit of an immature reaction, no?

That's a bit silly. Enough games for everyone. Play what you want and ignore the rest.

Lol you cant be serious. What is the point the to hire professional actors if they are going to make them look like this? How does that make any sense?

And why do they always do this with women? Why do men like fine but not women?

You are telling me that there is no hidden agenda here?

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Like this just touched up a bit makes a world of difference.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I like Gonzito to say something bad about his recent takes.

Think of it this way my man, at least it's not a fat black bald trans woman. Mocaps dont capture makeup, photo edits and other retouches you see in pictures of the actress. You could argue that they could add thsoe touches like Capcom does with their women, but eh. It's not that bad.

Its not that bad in your opinion. In my opinion it is that bad which is why I am making this thread. We dont have to agree but this is a fair subject seeing what Sony has been doing in the last years with female characters

Laura Bailey? That's your ace-in-the-hole example? The voice actress that has done literally hundreds of roles with absolutely none of them resembling her physical appearance whatsoever? Are you actually being serious, or are you just that clueless?

Fuck, I need to get out of the dipshit trenches and just go to bed.

Yeah go to bed because we already had enough on your embarrassing meltdowns

Capcom are one of the few companies who seem to be able to do a good job of it, but none of the pictures you posted were gameplay shots.

Why did they make Claire so ugly in game? /s

So I always like this example, how come female characters never seem to be on this level

They wont say shit about this because they can't defend their arguments. They will continue their gaslighting tactics as usual

I mean this one belongs in the hall of fame of shitting the fuck on a model

 

[Baemono]

There was 0 reasons for faye to not look like the actress did in her prime in late 2000s

Why would old bearded Kratos be with a 20s-something woman ?
And why would she look super young when she dies ?

Okay that's the first real counter-argument in this thread

 

[midnightAI]

Whats dumb as hell is thinking that ^ looks anything like this

They aged her a bit to match Kratos, I thought that was obvious no?

Unless people expected him to have an 18yr old hottie under his arm (even though he has an 11 yr old son)

 

[GymWolf]

She looks better than Kratos.

 

[calico]

Play what you want and ignore the rest.

 

[winjer]

FFS, she looks like something that came out of a grave.

That happens, but they haven't made her masculine in this game at all

But people always go to extremes by sayin people want a porn star, people want a 18 year hottie...we're saying the character doesn't really resemble the actress. That actress when in her 60s will still be gorgeous... There's no reason to make her in a fantasy world, not shine with a little more beauty.

But she isn't ugly though? That's were people have gone to extremes the other way, and she does look like the actress

I don't think she does at all, I'm not saying she's hideous but it isn't the actress

She just died and didnt have a bath yet. Give it time

I am serious I just have a different opinion.
I don't think either woman (Actor and I game model) look bad. The actress is full on makeup photo shooting mode and the ingame-model looks more natural (to me)

I always prefer a more natural and grounded look, but that's just me. You do you, no hard feelings
You just have to accept that if you make strong statements you get strong statements in return. Can't be hurt or offended by different opinions.

Love to you.

 

[midnightAI]

Are you just going off the screenshots posted here or off the actual in game animation? Because as you know picking specific frames can make things look worse than they actually are (people did this with Aloy..... A lot)

I think she looks just like the actress (if you look at the photo without makeup) they have just aged her up slightly like I mentioned

I am not offended by different opinions, I get offended when people call you dumb, retard and all sorts of names for having an opinion. There is a big difference

Just listen to yourself! Have you any idea how brain-broken this is?

 

[xrnzaaas]

That's the case with modern Sony (and many other new AAA) games. Even subtle makeup (like the one used on Freya in two previous games) would instantly make her a lot more pleasant to look at. But that's not what they're aiming for, quite the opposite.

When the Fable characters were ugly you all seemed to care, but now you don't? Bit hypocritical don't you think??

Do you prefer this.

 

[Prodyhig]

Taking pictures of the TV to prove his theory.

I'm starting to think he's a staff character created for distraction.

 

[Clear]

Am I wrong ?

I'm not the one getting triggered by colour palettes. I'm not the one so insecure that I feel the need to protect "male" IP's.

Sorry but if your position is that you can only have female lead characters that are hot, you are the one with problems, not me!

For real, if as a mature adult I started thinking that way... I'd be concerned.
