Same developer

You mean the same skin now being worn as a suit by invaders?

A fun (depressing) exercise is to look at the staff credits from two games from the "same" developer years apart and see how many of the same names you can find.

This is particularly enlightening when you do it with the original Mass Effect and Andromeda or even Mass Effect 3.

Back in the day there was a video of the Modern Warfare 2 credits that crossed off all the names that left to create respawn entertainment. Like half the names were crossed off.

Hell, even of the few of the remaining matches likely weren't even there for the entire game and only contributed to part of it.

It's stunning how much this is happening in the games industry. Two of the sequels I was actually looking forward to (Payday 3 and Kerbal Space Program 2) had this happen to their studios. PD3's dev had their CEO, CFO, lead artist, lead music guy, and 2/3rds of their coders leave to form a different company. KSP got bought out by Take Two, who promptly fired all but 3 coders.

We have reached peak incompetency

The talent that made games like Arkham Knight and especially the ones before have retired or doing their own thing. The coasters who hung in the background, probably making the coffee don't have the talent to match so try to pander to leftist ideology to hide their inadequacy.

It has Denzel Washington and Chris Pine as heroes and the oaf from My Name is Earl as the culprit (and of course an old white guy executive caring more about money than people).

But I still enjoyed it. Interesting premise with a runaway train filled with toxic flammable chemicals heading to a fictional population center in Pennsylvania (and loosely based on a true story.

Graphics get better but the human characters just get uglier and uglier? It isn't even uncanny valley at this point.

Making a character attractive is a necessary strategy for overcoming the uncanny valley. People are more forgiving of the uncanny valley effect if the character design is pleasing in other ways. If you’re trying to perfectly model a very average looking person, that’s going to combine with the uncanny valley effect to produce an extremely unattractive character.

It’s almost like older devs knew the score and created accordingly.

What I find amusing about this and I don't know if other people have noticed, the texturing and lighting job on the right is far worse than on the left and on the left the scene she's in is pretty dark but it's still better.

Be honest, do you really not know if other people have noticed this?

Well, they did "recast" her to be based on/look like the Margot Robbie Harley. However I don't think they did a very good job of porting the scanned face over (when do they ever) so she looks... wrong.

There's been a trend of doing women wrong on purpose. Not just wrong either, but a lot uglier too.

The only real life woman that any video game company can model accurately is Debra Wilson.

The diffuse texture on the right is clearly more flat & less detailed. The lack of quality will obviously transfer over to the normal map. The specular & glossiness is oversaturated which I think was done purposely to hide the flatness of the texture. I think they also fucked up the normal map & specularity so that Harley's feminine curves are less pronounced.

Most likely a deliberate choice by the art production to take shortcuts & stay under budget. When you have to allocate money to a useless consultant firm like Sweet baby Inc, the original product quality will suffer.

PS5 is more powerful than PS3 and 4, but the games do not always show that.

Harley also looks like absolute ugly trash in this game, whereas in city and Knight she was a dime.

If these feminists are gonna shove their pushed power women, can they at least look hot? Wonder Woman looked like a dollar store lesbo too

Yeah, it looks like spandex, for whatever reason. The body is 'fine', as in non-sexy. The face make the whole look like a lifeless doll. The shoulders/deltoids in the first pic do indeed look odd and overdeveloped.

It's nice you are catching on male gaze is not about the body but how the body is presented.

You turd balls were complaining the bad guys in the game were "mean" by calling Catwoman a bitch.
