One of my favorite examples of this was in Mass Effect Andromeda, which was early in the noticing of video game uglification.
And so the big excuse was the mo-cap and all that jazz just meant that Ryder just had to look that way and they couldn't 100% her model because of technology buzzword buzzword.
Which worked until people pointed out that male Ryder (that everyone forgot existed because nobody played as him) looked almost exactly like his model, and that defense seemed to be dropped from the culture war for more political moves instead.
They were able to do that since ME 1 with the literal male model used for MaleShep. Sure FemShep didn't get a prerendered face til 3, but claiming faces can't be captured because of tech limitations for the 4th game in a franchise that was doing it since the 1st game is just retarded thinking nobody would immediately point out the blatant lies.
I can't find the damn image(of course), but someone did a one-for-one comparison of recent video game characters and the actors they were based off of.
The men looked exactly the same, but all the women were actively-uglified.
When you see it side-by-side, it becomes so stupidly obvious even normies start asking questions.
Exactly. Like its one of those things you can believe happening if you don't know better. More fat or polygons for expression or this or that when transferring to a digital character, logic checks just enough.
But then you see that it is totally possible, and consistently done, and all those excuses disappear because its clearly a choice being made.
ME3 to ME:A was such a fucking downgrade to potato quality faces it was unreal.
The technobabble excuses are the most detestable because midwits were so susceptible to them in the 2010s
I wouldn't even call it midwit to trust a guy in the field to know what he is talking about when you know next to nothing about it. That should be the correct set up for things.
The problem was how many people needed to learn that these people were ideologues who would lie to cover for themselves, meaning any word they said was useless. The 2010s was the era of people, piece by piece and domain by domain learning that. Culminating in the biggest "learning experience" of all in Covid where the masses had to learn to not even trust doctors or "science" in that manner.
True. The midwittery was failing to pick up the obvious signs these people were telling you not to believe your lying eyes.
