I want that Aloy Nude Patch!

 

[Mister Wolf]

Guerrilla are more than capable of perfectly recreating Hannah Hoekstra's likeness for Horizon. The dissonance has nothing to do with their tech or ability.

They made his face wider too. The plot thickens...

JL was thrashed for this:

#taliban

Seriously, is this some JRPG or something? Why are dudes so dressed, while lady is so... well, not covered with clothing?

Spoiler: HERE'S ANOTHER CLUE FOR YOU ALL!!!

 

[Bonfires Down]

I am sure the women of the world are super concerned about passing your 'look twice' test.

Unless you look like a fucking rock star.

I literally saw John Stamos (walking with some woman, not RRS) at Disneyland and I LITERALLY had never seen such pretty people in my life. No Photoshop, not lighting. They LITERALLY looked like they do on magazine covers. It was so fucking impressive and unique.

So yeah, if you look like that, you get a pass for your insulting, sexist, super embarrassing statement. I'll give you a public apology AND a 50 PSN gift card.

Please upload your picture to this thread so we can judge you? I'll put a poll on twitter and if your looks rate 9 or above the video apology AND the gift card are yours!

Dude, this is getting into Dyack territory now.

 

[Heylon]

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.

People don’t play games expecting them to be a reflection of real life or how most average people actually look. That’s the whole point. Many seek escapism through fictional works with hot characters and awesome worlds - this has been the case in any kind of entertainment since forever.

 

[Heylon]

You all are killing me with these mockups. Just too funny! Amazing how many talented people there are that can produce such things so quickly too! Now, if we could see a re-do of the game trailer but with THIS character model...THAT would be hilarious and amazing.

The fact that it probably won’t be long before this is the beauty standard in AAA-games, saddens me deeply.

 

[Mabdia]

The thing that really hate is that. The actress that play Aloy is really beautiful. But the character is really ugly.

 

[llien]

Am I really the only one who noticed that her... body got quote noticeably wider too?

I don't understand how the taliban and jennifer lawrence are connected to this...yet.

You don't understand, how "tone down female sexuality" is #taliban minded, did I get you right?

But the character is really ugly.

Come on, they did... things to her, but she's not ugly by any metric.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

That's the point. We have for example Control, where the main character isn't a 10/10 either, but is much more believable, well written, perfectly fits the world and surrounding events, whereas Aloy seems out of place since the very day they revealed the game.

Heavenly Sword has been thrown into discussion in the other thread, and again, very believable, likeable character, despite somewhat potato face. And on the other end of spectrum there's Quiet from MGS5, where you just have to ask yourself wtf is wrong with this chatacter, why it's even here.

So the looks is just a tip of the iceberg, it does help obviously, they might tweak Aloy to be more acceptable, acclaimed, just sticking to the actual real life model would be enough, but instead they make her even less likable with that punchable face, the only thing lacking is her yelling "I want to speak with the manager!"...

You had me at the end there. I sincerely think she's beautiful, but everyone to his own. Also same with Control character (forgot her name), maybe she has a big jaw but those could be due to capture mistakes. I would happily bang Aloy or even the less-feminine Control protagonist.

 

[Kev Kev]

i mean... she's not NOT ugly lol

He looks better in game, but wider as Coolwhhip said. Also tuned his head there. If anything they need to upgrade their photogrammetry setup.

 

[The Hamburglar]

The thing that really hate is that. The actress that play Aloy is really beautiful. But the character is really ugly.

She’s not really ugly and I doubt you could get a girl who looks half as good as aloy.

 

[Coolwhhip]

She’s not really ugly and I doubt you could get a girl who looks half as good as aloy.

I would prefer half, that's the point!

 

[Sander Cohen]

Where are our female forum dwellers to chime in on this, it’s only natural since Sony told us 41% of gamers are

 

[vpance]

It would be funny if it was something really simple. Like an extra 0 was being added to some dimensions data.

 

[OZ9000]

Aloy looks good in Horizon 1

But she looks like she underwent menopause in Horizon 2.

 

[grfunkulus]

Skull straight up looks like an egg.

It's called an unflattering camera angle. The retards in this thread probably think face-tuned and instagram female faces/bodies are the real thing too.

 

[Mabdia]

How cute. An Ad Hominem attack... Well, at least I laughed after read it. Thanks for that?

Now can we talk as a grow up men?

Come on, they did... things to her, but she's not ugly by any metric.

Well I just can't see Aloy as a beautiful character. Or she is an ordinary character(and to me it is really worse than ugly) or she is ugly. Damn! Even My V at Cyberpunk looks pretier than Eloy.

 

[ShinraMiddleMananger]

Clearly she's gained weight and needs Jenny Craig.

 

[TGO]

Why weird? Most men don't like playing with female protagonists, most females don't like playing with male protagonists. That's really natural. I play a lot of games with female protagonists, but if I get the option I always choose the male one.

I don't really mind, and given the choice for example.
Jill Vs Chris
Leon Vs Claire
I choose the female
I just don't like shit, unlikeable characters

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Seems like personal perspective. I honestly can't take females seriously when they easily take down brutes in a brawl or a sword fight. For Aloy she's mostly a distant fighter that her combat is around being nimble and smart.

For Control it's gunfights, so anyone can handle a gun.

 

[Mabdia]

My case. Just played Leon and Chris campain because the platinum.

Sadly on RE-Revelations, they turned Claire into Tobey Maguire, and I never tryed to play it because of that.

 

[Arsic]

Girl been eating good. She down with the thiccness.

Which is odd since she lives a very active life style and everyone around her is in great shape, but hey Aloy found the last Burger King on Earth and is going ham on whoppers.

 

[Sinthor]

Oh wow. I hadn't thought of that, but you're dead on. That it obviously a purposeful change to Aloy then. I don't think it's quite as extreme as some of the more hyperbolic posts are making it out to be, but it's definitely there and definitely then a decision NOT to look more like the actress modeling for Aloy. Probably a deliberate change to show that Aloy is not there for "male pleasure" or to be subjected to the "male gaze." If that's true and it's deliberate, that's sad. Wonder what it's like for an actress to portray a character and have that character made to look LESS like her? The actress can't help how she looks and almost guaranteed that she was picked at least partly FOR how she looked.

Well, until or unless we hear something official from GG about it, I'll continue to extend the benefit of the doubt to them. I just really hope this wasn't intentionally done because of "reasons."

How do you go from this:

To this:

When we know they clearly had to have improved their facial scanning tech for the sequel title.

 

[Forsythia]

Maybe she's pregnant and Guerilla is pulling a Kojima on us

Pfff unless it’s role-playing I choose the prettiest lady every time, haven’t even tried playing with Leon, I’m playing with Tifa

 

[Sander Cohen]

“Male gaze” on a virtual character…geee would anyone think of her feelings. Also, there would never be male gaze if girls didn’t wear tight and/or scanty clothing but alas, that’s exact purpose of those clothes, innit?

Cycle of stupidity.

Or maybe they made her skull structure match the voice-over actor? Not sure. But some devs change faces that can somehow "hurt" the feelings of the actress herself, meaning she's not beautiful enough. Happened with Kassandra on AC Odyssey:

 

[HotPocket69]

Is it 1994 again?

 

[Chiggs]

 

[ShinraMiddleMananger]

Is it 1994 again?

It is for aloy's scales!

 

[JimmyRustler]

umm... why does a thread about aloy being a little chubbier have like 13 fucking pages? what are you guys talking about exactly?

Are you serious man?

Have I been summoned to post pics of myself

This thread is fucking gold. Laughing my ass off.

 

[vodka-bull]

Arms skinny but face chubby, wouldn‘t be a problem for most people if it would fit together either way.

 

[CrustyBritches]

David Jaffe white-knighting for a video game character and lusting after John Stamos is justification enough for the existence of this thread, let alone the excellent photoshops and memes.

Sorry, David. I don't take advice from men under 6ft tall.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Maybe GG should ditch that extremely expensive photogrammetry setup and just use Sony's Xperia 3D modeling app.

Sony 3D Creator brings Sensor-less 3D Scanning to Consumers - 3D Scan Expert

Sony brings mobile photogrammetry to consumers with 3D Creator on the Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact smartphones. Check out the example 3D Scans.

3dscanexpert.com

And that's without the new 3D sensors in the new mobiles

 

[Phase]

These threads are the reason I love GAF.

 

[THEAP99]

Gamers continue to embarrass the community:

 

[CrustyBritches]

 

[Sander Cohen]

How do we go back to Aloy after this, wow

 

[Bragr]

This thread is like 60% memes, 30% people who don't understand its memes and get angry, and 10% freaks and wackos who actually give a shit about a slightly changed character model.

But why?

 

[Banjo64]

bed, wed, behead?

 

[Virt McPolygon]

How do we go back to Aloy after this, wow

Cringe. You want a female warrior with perfect, straight white teeth and caked on makeup? lmao

 

[UnNamed]

How do we go back to Aloy after this, wow

Considering she was raised by a man, fighting every day for her life, with barely no contact with other people in her entire life, in a pre-medieval age...

... but she have perfect teeth, well defined eyebrows, eyeliner, lipstick, well maintained hair.

Seems very logic. Conglatulaitons to this guy!

 

[Coolwhhip]

How do we go back to Aloy after this, wow

Yeah this looks silly. If she looked like the actress, maybe a bit more wild, it would be enough.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

bed, wed, behead?

Anyone who wouldn't bang Aloy if she was real doesn't deserve to have a sacred penis.
