Stellar Blade devs on why the protagonist is sexy: "That's what players want most of the time"

Those jiggle physics were enough to warrant a purchase
This.
That was my pre-order call.

It's so stupid nowadays having all those extremely realistic looking games bordering photorealism with total absence of jiggle physics, something featured even on some GameCube titles.

What? We gamer dont want them :messenger_pouting: :messenger_pouting: :messenger_pouting:

I mean isn't he gay?

Not sure he represents the target audience.

Funny about this in original Last of Us in winter chapter Ellie ( a little girl) takes out group highly armed people which are bigger and stronger than Ellie with no problem......(that shit impossible even wth grown ass man)

but apparently thats "realistic" and you should take is seriously..../s
Mmh.. those are entirely optional kills by a 14 year old who's hiding and stabbing fours times from behind unaware men after literally jumping on their back.
It's a different kind of "unrealistic". If those men see you in the game you're dead.

Yeah her face is not the most exquisite one, but it's recognizable, it has her personality. Especially considering nowadays Korean girls go crazy with plastic surgery and end up having same faces. I like her face, would kill for her.
I think they didn’t put as much work into the face because we won’t be seeing the face as much as the other asset from the back (which the developers said they made that way on purpose)
 
As much as I like what he's saying and how it seems like every day, he's clapping back at the haters who have a problem with Eve's design... I kinda want him to stop. lol

I mean, I want this game to come out. I don't want activists and people getting offended to the point that they force Sony to do something about it. Between now and release, it should just be complete silence from the developer and let the as... I mean game do the talking.

A lot can happen between now and April. I'm hopeful nothing bad is going to happen, but you never know.
Support the products you like with your money, all these virtual signaling corporate types are prostitutes who will sell their soul for a buck. Witness Disney, making black characters disappear from their movie posters for China, and Sony removing all the LGBT references in Spiderman 2 from the Middle-East edition of their games.

We were talking the real model's face. I think Eve's face is gorgeous, of course we gonna see the butt all the time but you know, for cutscenes we need pretty face, lol.

They are VIDEO GAMES......its stupid to complain about realism especially in a game thats highly stylized.

I agree?

Finding people attractive is illegal!!!!!!!!!
It's not that.

It's finding attractive people attracting that's illegal.

You should only be attracted to unhealthy bodies, even better if biologically/chemically amalgamated.

I only played it last year and was impressed by the size of the "airbags" of the characters.
What makes Schrier and the Purple forum's pearl clutching more laughable is the fact that for a site that thinks it's somehow a cut above the rest of us plebs, they show their ignorance by not appreciating what Vanillaware were actually doing with all the art references in Dragons Crown.

They were so blinded by the boobies the couldn't appreciate George K's brilliance!

If I had my way I would buy this game 5 times. I hope this game goes on to be really good and sells like 10M copies. That ought teach these damned agenda-pushing western devs something.

I spent almost 100hrs on HZFW completely HATING how my character looked. Thats not right. If we are going to be looking at something for hours... then that thing better look good.

Thers a reason i have been playing a ShiftUp game for more than 1 year now. Based devs. And is not just because of sexy waifus. They also deliver great stories and killer OST. Things that im most certain they will deliver in Stellar Blade as well.

Beauty is one thing.

Shoving the protagonist's butt in your face all the time is another thing entirely.

This is beauty and grace combined, for instance.

Please keep your principles and/or logic to yourself.

98% of every music video out there is shoving god knows what in my face, 90% of every show these days is trying to shove some gay character down my throat just to be socially correct. But then when a game does this we have people coming out of the woodwork to become principled.

I mean one of the most popular songs last year was fucking called Munch for crying out loud.

I see what you’re saying

Wait
Do you think the face of in-game character Eve DOES or DOESNT look like the face of the model Shin Jae-Eun?

It does not because the model was only scanned for the body. The dev in the interview stated that they created Eve's face firstly then invited Shin for the body scanning.

Current progressivism is so confused. We live in an age where hyper-sexualisation is glorified, to the point that women are getting cosmetic surgeries that carry risk all the way up to death to attain unrealistic physical attributes.

On the other hand, videogames and actually fictional "geek stuff" (that all just happen to mostly appeal to males) is ridiculed and targeted for sexualisation. Nevermind that male gamers also don't want to play as men that don't adhere to ideal or unrealistic aesthetic standards.

I don’t get it. Where is this person getting “they hate women so much”? What am I missing?

They're never going to say anything good about women being sexy, because half of them are desperate to be women, and can't be. And the other half are desperate to be popular with them.

Sexy women are terrible, terrible things to all of them, and so are the people who like them.

Meh. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, people are attracted to attractive people! Even the people who think they are ugly as shit want someone good looking. A lot of the general hate towards attractive women and men is usually by people who are jealous. The solution there is to work on yourself instead of being petty.

That said, I do agree that women have been sexually objectified in games in the past (men have too but on a lesser scale overall). I don't know of there's a solution to it because sex sells.

Unfortunately Sony is only into buff women and GILFs.

I think that's more on the studios and not at the executive level. That's why I think Sony should acquire more Asian devs, because they haven't been infected by the mind virus yet. Jimbo didn't need to tell Neil Druckmann to create ugly women in his games. Western devs know to do it inherently because they know creating sexy characters would earn them backlash from the Reee crowd.

I have zero confidence in current Sony and honestly this gen they are more interested in western games as far as first party concerned because those are the games that makes the most money for them.

That's perfectly fair, but tbf Sony did sign this game, knowing what the characters look like. So I'll take what I can.

It's hilarious watching the West being aghast when the Koreans know exactly what is going on instead of needing the Maximegalon Institute of Slowly and Painfully Working Out the Surprisingly Obvious (MISPWOSO) to figure out the surprisingly obvious

Ok, i need to be real for a moment.

As much as i like seeing devs pushing back against these dumb cultural trends... i still can't help but think this game looks mid. As in, Code Vein or Scarlet Nexus levels of mid.

Still, nice to see South Korean games making into mainstream more frequently, even last year we had Lies of P and Witchspring R.

WHERE. BOOBA
Code Vein and Scarlet Nexus are mid? Good to know. I love mid games.
