Ubisoft has honored the beautiful and talented actress Humberly González by recreating her perfectly in its latest AAA release, Star Wars: Outlaws, as the protagonist Kay Vess.

Now that the game is finally releasing, we have even more media to appreciate Kay's immaculately sculpted and rendered look.

Post your best Kay Vess screenshots here!

Not my proudest fap.

Thank you for calling this out. This bs needs to stop and the tides are finally beginning to turn. Lotta normal folks are waking up to it.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Poor actress, can she sue?

Matt Damon?

 

[JohnnyPhats]

Not my proudest fap.

 

[Mokus]

This is worse than I imagined it would be. It looks more like they tried to recreate her facial features when she would be in her late 50s.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

I've seen all the goblin shots, but is that always how she looks? Are there no in game qtp2t shots?

 

[nikos]

Imagine the look on Humberly's face when she saw the character that's supposed to be modeled after her.

It has to be intentional. There’s no other explanation for why this is in every single (western) game.

See if you represent the beautiful voice actress as a beautiful character in the game , thats ableist , tisk tisk equal representation in 2024 guys!

Yup. "Bad Faith discourse" my ass. Visually appealing aesthetic is important and you're just doing a disservice to your actor/tress otherwise.

Not to mention that ugly is ugly.

 

[Complistic]

Ubisoft, LOL

 

[MostlyPeaceful]

Cut Ubisoft some slack guys. At least they’ve made some progress in the last 10 years since we got this

 

[VanCityGamer]

Don’t you get it? It’s demeaning to female gamers to have attractive women in games…for some reason.

I guess they must be furious when they watch literally any TV shows or movies.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Dude really said “a model of some sort” wtf

Please, no one take this the wrong way, Im just the messenger and Im posting what I saw a youtuber who has ties in the entertainment industry say, because I thought it was interesting. His friend who is a graphics artist said the reason why western publishers are making women look like this is because they dont want to offense or alienate trans players. I dont know if its true or not, but there are very few western devs that actually recreate characters based on the face models.

My initial theory was that devs wanted to avoid the male gaze, but they can avoid that by putting less polygons and curves on a female protagonist physique or dress them in clothing to cover them up. To actually change how the face model looks doesnt make any sense because it no longer looks like the person they paid to scan.

Oh another thread where someone picks screenshots in odd light conditions. Everyone looks odd if you make a video of her/him and stop at certain points, while they speak.
So far In the reviews I saw nothing that shocked me like in mass effect Andromeda or ac unity.

So far it looked that the general light conditions for her hair in the final game got a bit better. But yes, some reviews outlined that the main character seems to be low detailed outside of "movie" scenes, even on PC with max details.

That literally makes no sense. Why would a trans gamer be offended by an attractive woman?

Separate question: why would anyone give a shit even if that were the case? What are they: like 0.2% of gamers?

[Sakura]

What's the point of using a real person when they aren't going to make the in game model look like her?

 

[Bulletbrain]

"She's a two-face. You know, like the batman villain?"

Coding is hard.

I loved her in Tango & Cash:

Watching people randomly dragging Ubisoft in the thread about this here was hilarious. Literally everyone is laughing at Ubisoft

Well then go find an image of Kay Vess in the best light condition then. We'll wait.

You’re kidding, right?

Western AAA devs have been pandering to the small vocal minority for several years now. They’ve made it very clear they do not care for the “legacy demographic” that this industry was built by.
The same demographic that continues to keep it afloat, year after year - despite the industry slapping them in the face and turning its back.

I’m not kidding at all. Explain to me why trans gamers would be mad about attractive people?

Aloy gets hate for some reason but she is 100% the hottest of the three

More like "square head".

Being the prettiest of the uglies still isn't great.

Ok, real talk - was her model in the sequel really “chubbier” or is it manufactured outrage? If it was real - did the devs ever addressed it?

Aloy may have a chunky face but at least shes still pretty unlike the other two.

 

[Aiken_Lugonn]

Wait, they actually intended to recreate her looks? Also, why do the latest games’ character models all look like the characters are from two generations ago. Almost Skyrim quality.

Based Asian developers.

The Western doctrine stipulates men = women and women = men.

Rest of the world: men = men, women = women.
