green eyes woulda sucked. i could stare into those blue eyes, if it were a real chick, forever tho!

Doube D · May 10, 2005

umm, LOL. guys, that IS NOT an ingame model, period. You can put up as many tech demo pics as you want.... what you c in that picture is 99.99999 percent a render that took many hours on a high end pc.

edit: i think w/ the green eye pic up there she looks a lot more menacing... i like it more

BuckRobotron · May 10, 2005

Holy hell she looks great, assuming this is the real deal.

Lakitu · May 10, 2005

Grass... now eyes.. holy fuck

Hair.
Not possible, even on PS3.

C'mon oli! This will start another "grass" trend! I hope you're happy!

But he's right !
Red hair goes with green eyes !

ok change that. those greens are hawt too!

Khalid-S · May 10, 2005

IJoel · May 10, 2005

I expect something close to this for Itagaki's DOA characters.

Not for a FPS though. That'd be expecting too much.

Suerte · May 10, 2005

Forget eyes, WHERE'S DEM TITTIES?! AM I RITE?!

Jeff-DSA · May 10, 2005

Sheesh, that's a sweet concept piece.

I really hope that Joanna goes with this sort of look as opposed to her butch look.

COME ON RARE!!! HAVE THIS READY FOR LAUNCH!

olimario · May 10, 2005

I toned down the brightness of her hair, too. It looks a lot better.

Solid · May 10, 2005

Haha yeah

Redbeard · May 10, 2005

Reminds me of Famke Janssen in X-Men 2.

I believe the in game will be very close to that.

olimario said:

Yeah, I noticed that. I really like your pic better. In fact, she's a little too bright all around. But dang, that's one sweet render.

Haha yeah

I hear they've spent the last three years just coding titty physics.

There's just no way it can be real-time, don't fool yourself. Great art but just art, not screenshot.

From this:

No chance. Even Ruby and Nalu are years behind this photo. I'd love to be proved wrong, though.

That Joanna render is ten times more detailed. Look at how many strands of hair there is in that shot...

OG_Original Gamer · May 10, 2005

Joanna to knock down Vanessa Schneider as sexiest video game character.

Do you guys remember the rumored, replay feature of the original PD? The feature that showed a replay of the action after each level or chapter.

Dr_Cogent · May 10, 2005

Love the red heads.

based on ea's lack of graphic ability and rare's damn good graphics abilities, i'd say that gives more credence to this being in-game than anything.

You're forgetting this is EA vs. RARE
Madden 2005 vs. Conker
Catwoman vs. Starfox Adventures

gofreak · May 10, 2005

She looks excellent. Like the "cel-shaded" Joanna made "realistic" and sexy..

Question: can we be sure this is coming from the gamemaker? I always feel I have to ask in these ourcolony threads

jett · May 10, 2005

Nice concept art.

Nah, I bet DoA's asstastic art style will be the same as before in DoA4(or whatever).

No... Just no...
Bright red hair and blue eyes IS tacky even though the render is wonderful.

And you know what? That model is totally believable for next gen. Vanessa, minus AA, looks this good in real time cut scenes in PN03.

But I'm not forgetting the real-world capabilities of hardware. Look, she's one sexy beast but that doesn't mean you can render 10000000000 of hairs AND model them physically in real-time on Xbox2, 3 or even 4.

And you expect this kind of detail in an FPS game?

*sigh* Who am I arguing with (not you oli)?

its art. Just art. You guys are seriously bad at telling what you're looking at. Look at the detail in hair + especially the eye area. The BG is also drawn so the entire thing is artistic impressions. The gun highlight is so giveaway. Sort of like the Metroid Prime images. I think the focus on the eye is to illustrate how they moved away from the manga look. That's the selling point.

I don't see the impressive.

Render ? what is it, people nowadays can't use brushes ? To me it's mostly hand drawn, there's really nothing that needs a rendering in this closeup.

Maybe they're using an advanced form of fur shading mixed with the tricks used in Vanessa's hair and Leon's hair.
Surely there is a way around the problem you presented.

Amir0x · May 10, 2005

I'd love to be surprised that it isn't a render. Because that'd blow my mind just imagining the possibilities that will be offered next-gen then.

suaveric · May 10, 2005

She's always had blue eyes. Now she just has a non-dyke haircut and a dye job.

It looks like a photo to me. Digitally enchanced of course.

Jacobi · May 10, 2005

I seem to be the only one, but I don't like her new look.

aoi tsuki · May 10, 2005

Looks better (ie less saturated), but the colors in addition to the art in the back reminds me of Samus in the gravity suit and Metroid Prime.

Looks like a render to me (highlights and skin texture detail) or at least a shopped real time graphic, but definitely not hand drawn. In any case it looks pretty good.

eh. don't get your hopes up. you know Rare is only capable of doing a game every generation at this point.

Doc Holliday · May 10, 2005

looks boring...

Amir0x · May 10, 2005

This is the chick who played Joanna in the commercials... hair is kinda similar, right? Except color...
