They really can't do pretty characters can they? I mean we can moan everytime a new Asian gatcha game releases but at least they have entire art teams dedicated to making pretty boys and sexy/cute women where the left seem to use examples of head trauma patients...
West is lazy.. finds people and just face scan. Less and less imagination being used to stylize faces. Before, they would use reference pics and craft an entirely new character..
Actually face scans are like ai art. Its just a copy. Just slap it onto a character and call ot a day lol.
Except now they do facescans of attractive people and deliberately fuck up their appearance, such as Alloy
or that black woman they keep turning into arnold at the end of total recall.
This isn't laziness. Its an agenda. Dead Remake being the latest example.
And they wonder why Vtubers are so popular, I think rather than the West's lazy approach of copying and pasting, being able to design your 'perfect avatar' is always going to be more appealing.
And if you can't do that, at least don't make the character we're stuck with look like an afterthought!
It isn't an afterthought. This is once again demoralisation as so many things that used to show beauty in the west. They wish to destroy that which is beautiful for they cannot be with the hatred in their hearts and minds. Better to tear it all down than to improve themselves.
They can. They deliberately DON'T.
They hate beauty, because beauty is a holy virtue.
They absolutely can, they just don't want to. Its easier to just mocap some shit.
So now even faces that should look at best normal, look absolutely awful because its been uncanny valley'd and no effort was spent on fixing it because the mocap was "supposed to" remove the effort/time spent in their minds. When it requires fine detailing on top of the broadstrokes it provides.
I don't know what in God's name this is a picture of, but it's not pretty.
There was a video floating around the internets somewhere of a much earlier build where the protagonist was white. They actively made the game worse in every possible way since then. Likely because of that book someone discovered and posted about here. The one called something like I Can Move Sh*t With My Mind.
looks more like a hurdur than a haha
The studio wasn't exactly closed, just merged back into the main Square Enix development. I feel like Forspoken was a glorified tech demo they didn't know what to do with so they had those woke westerners write a story as a last ditch effort.
