Probably for a lot of the reasons people have already said. They wanted a black woman to play the role of a bounty hunter. Shaved head helps her do that. As long as the character is interesting and I enjoy playing the game, it really doesn't matter to me. If they made her look ridiculous like they did in Star Wars Outlaws then that might be a different matter. For what I've seen so far, I'm fine with it.
To each their own.

Are we sure she's the main character?
I think there's a chance we're assembling a crew early in the game and then choosing our operative based on next mission. "Five Aces"?

Doesn't sound like it. She gets stranded on the planet and the planet hasn't had any communication with the outside world for 100s of years.

Look into my eyes and tell me that isn't a Ninja Turtle.
She has bigger muscles than most dudes I know.
You would tell me it's a dude I wouldn't bat an eye and say of course it is.

Then you don't pay attention to reality around you. Barring living in extreme climates or medical illness the overwhelming majority of women grow their hair and cherish it. Most would bawl their eyes out if they had to lose their hair. The ones that choose to go bald as a style are usually accompanied with erratic behavior or full blown mental illness.

More details here. She's described as their "newest protagonist".

People are trying to catch that Guardians writing style just like they were trying to catch the Buffy/Firefly snark. It takes a great writer to make it work.

I totally understand what you mean.
When I talked about bad look, I'm not even attacking the actual physical traits of the real girl herself, even if she's not a looker, but the fact that she's clearly going for a look that looks... just really "modern" in a bad way. It's an awful fashion style. And people who have this type of look usually have the personnality that goes with it, just like you mentionned, even in real life.

They are not suposed to be "Feminine"
Ripley is ugly and it suits her.
When will you people come to terms that it would be stupid for Stellar Blade types to be the norm in every damn game?
You want her to be wearing make up? Long hair? What is the issue?

Oh man, Firefly was special because there was nothing else like it at the time.

I meant that the people who decided to remove or replace white, heterosexual, male protagonists and femenine/atractive females from all Sony (and particularly ND starting in Uncharted Lost Legacy) developed games are the ones who hate white/heterosexual/male protagonists and good looking/femenine women, not the characters.
Regarding the character, since I was a kid I've been surrounded by LGTB people and to me she looks like, moves and talks like a lesbian. Most lesbians I know don't like most men or even have a trauma with them or hate them (particularly their father/paternal figure).

Main Character is giving me Girl with a Dragon Tattoo vibes, and I think that could be a good thing which is why I'm not dismissing it. Creepy, dreamy Trent Reznor soundtrack + Dark Sci Fi + character that looks....intentionally unappealing and rough.

Yeah and most are probably on one. A stripper, a butch trying to look like a man, or some other shit. Nothing normal about it.

I think Druckmann has a fetish with butch, manly looking women who beat his ass.
They also show a legit reason for her being bald with the scarring on the back of her head. Now I want to know the backstory.

It's going to be a GOTY contender if not winner based on the dev's pedigree, so doubting this game while peddling Todd Howard dogshit will continue being your MO.

WTF!? Either her face is too small or her body is too big, its kinda looks like Gears of War character models.
Look into my eyes and tell me that isn't a Ninja Turtle.

No it’s just a style at this point. Particularly amongst the younger generations - so it doesn’t seem out of place for a far future woman to me

Bullshit. Amongst Black women? White women? What demographic we talking about?

You should know by now that Neil always wins. People were bitching about TLOU2 as well. Still sold over 10M and won GOTY

The characters look both terrible and boring. Boring is edging out the competition.

Yah. I mean, that's not a weird take. There's plenty of characters in film/TV that intentionally look like they've lived through some ROUGH shit. That's why I brought up Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
It oddly can work, if done well, and augments the vibe they're going for.

Where the hell do some of you live? Yukon? I live in Toronto and it's also quite common. Like I don't understand the confusion. I see women like this every single day multiple times a day just walking downtown.

B Balducci30 is right, but they usually don't shave it all the way bald like this. Need a little hair for hair dye!

Yeah, there's all the ingredients for a good game/product here. I'm also excited to see how Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross do working on a video game project.

Is she really? News to me and very interesting.
TLOU2 sold well because it was the sequel to a modern masterpiece. What happened to Joel still has people enraged and it did incredible damage to Neil's reputation. People lost a lot of faith in the guy and the reception we're seeing for this trailer proves that. The shine is off Naughty Dog.

I think it’s the attitude and lack of respect - it looks childish and immature with that expression of emotion. Not funny or cute but more distracting than moving the plot forward. I’m still in to see what this game becomes tho.
Face is pissing me off for no reason
Also seems like they’re taking ideas from Stranger Things and Guardians of the Galaxy. Haha.
Either way I hope they’re committed to telling truly good stories.
