She looks like a monk boy, I expected nothing less from Cuckman. Its sad seeing an ultra talented studio abilities wasted under his direction.
Oh well...

It does look new though. I'll wait and see.Come on.
It's like they did everything they could to have the worst looking character possible, it just feels like a joke / parody at this point.
Who wants to play as this?
You wouldn't have gotten a main character looking like this in a AAA game a few years back, this clearly scream 2020s, so yes, this is woke, because it's just ridiculously obvious what they're trying to do.

Dont you see the patern in western studios in erasing both feminine looking females and male characters from the games? Is that a patern so hard to recognize? NaughtyDog has alot of talent in the studio to not pull a concord, so the game will most likely be good, if not great, but its tiring to see the same shit happening again and again and again.

Ugly bald chick main character and features cringe, aura-less actor/comedian Kumail Nanjiani as a character?
Hard pass.
I've yet to buy a single first party Sony game for the PS5 because I can't stand their ghey output.

The tone and cd changer joke were straight out of guardians. Are you kidding?

I guess if it looks like guardians of the galaxy it must be marvel style of writing? Right? Right?

Only difference is shes white. Im sick of this BS infecting every corner of the internet.
Alien 3 also sucked arse. The previous movies were way better and she looked better in them.

Love how in the timed piece he said he's taking inspiration from akira and cowboy bebop. Those are two phenomenal pieces of source material to build your game around.

Oh he knows, but this is how he perceives aesthetically pleasing.Someone should probably tell Neil that Cowboy Bebop is aesthetically pleasing in every conceivable way.

He's cringe and not even remotely funny, imo. His comedy seems forced.

How many far future female bounty hunters have you met to know what they should look like?Come on.

Everything that makes them insecure one way or the other (and boy, there are a LOT of things for these people) is "woke" to them. It's phychology 101, entry level.Is Ellen ripley woke too then??
It's gonna be a great adventure, no doubt.
Surprisingly cluncky mo-cap though, and also everything appears way too clean and fake looking.

Hey, you're talking about winning a future contest without even knowing what the contents of the game are. It's only fair I could presume about what could be the creators plans to implement in this game.

That was Alien 3 the first shitty Alien movie. They all had shaved heads and it looked like shit.

Eh, Ripley didn't have this annoying sassy "attitude". And i could relate to her character because i already knew her from the previous movies.
Only difference is shes white. Im sick of this BS infecting every corner of the internet.
And the shaved head was not really her choice.
Also, i didn't like her in Alien 3 that much anyway, or in the later films.

I don’t know why they insist on casting women in roles dominated and more fitting for men. Most women want nothing to do with something as dangerous as bounty hunting. Far too dangerous and they’d get annihilated.
That’s why you gotta make a masculine woman to give her credibility in this profession. At this point, just make a man?

. See this is why everyone has a right to an opinion. People can like the design or dislike it. It doesn't matter.

nothing about that screamed Woke. (Do recall one of if not the first bounty hunter in video games was a women). It’s all in the execution. If she is a complex interesting character… all good. If she is a flat “girl boss” with no hero arc… terrible. (ND gives their female characters complexity and flaws… so not too worried)
It’s naughty dog. I’m in. It will be something… one way or another

Oh yeah. Will be very inspired by Akira and Cowboy, knowing how much Neil hate anime design.

A badass female bounty hunter when these probably don’t even exist? Give her a buzzcut like an army soldier and put her in a role entirely dominated by men? I don’t even know why they keep doing this.

I cant believe they got Pakistani Danzel for this lmao. ND should be getting real movie stars, not a joke from a tv show. Come on.
The lead character looks like aids. Like she literally got aids and is dying. Uglier than Abby which I didnt think was possible, but like that Avowed director I wouldn't be surprised if Neil did this out of spite to piss off the gamers angry at Abby's character design.
It's his game, and ultimately his choice, but I cant help but feel sorry for the devs over at ND who have literally gone on record saying that your protagonist HAS to be attractive. they said that while showing off Nathan Drake's chest hair and masculine jaw line. But girls are not allowed to be sexy in Drunckman's world.
I think Ciri's design in Witcher 4 is a good compromise. She's not all that feminine, but feminine enough. She's scarred but still attractive. She's badass but still looks like a woman who you dont despise at first glance. Not sure why we cant have that in an ND game. This girl makes Aloy look like an Israeli supermodel.

Definitely ticking the checklist for the design of the character lol, didn’t look all that but hopefully some gameplay is revealed soon.

Fanboys are blind. They did the same when Concord got his first trailer.
Look at them, attacking GAF because GAF hate woman as a main char and they don't have a single clue if really is a woman or not. Guy put pronoums from the site and assumed that 'Jordan' is a woman.

Looks like a realistic design for a female bounty hunter. The design is fine.

Context is definitely key. They did that to Ripley because she was in a prison colonynand would help her blend in. Not because it was some message and/or to make the girl a less feminine girl boss. Was she bald in the previous movies and sequels? Fuck no.

Why do people keep bringing this up as if Alien 3 was good? It is trash and only had one iconic scene worth remembering. Most importantly its now how she looked in the previous and way superior films.Is Ellen ripley woke too then??
Shes ugly and manly as fuck in all of them stop it
I said looked better, not that she was a fox.
Her absolute peak was in Galaxy Quest.

I liked the enemy design, and the idea of ND doing a more melee focused game seems interesting.
Not much else to get excited besides that. Ugly girl boss protagonist, awful product placement and yet another uninspired GOTG sci Fi Setting

The tone was nothing like Guardians, the set and art design had influences.
The CD changer was not a joke either.
Confusing art design and writing is honestly something else. One has words said out loud, the other is purely visual.
I'm extremely intrigued by the bounty hunter premise. You just know I'm gonna pixel peep the video frame by frame later on.

Well, there isn't much context. The model is unremarkable, it's just a person. It's realistic in a mundane sort of way. I agree that the model/design fits in a pragmatic sense (having long hair in space must be a hassle, for example)
the weird aspect is the dialog and directing that makes the whole package......sus. to say the least.

I think he’s going for an anime inspired vibe with the main character but studios in California can’t do it right. No one is expecting Stellar Blade but come on… even the way she talks isn’t right. Zero charisma or flair. Sounds like any girl I work with.
