See you guys are part of the problem. You guys are the reason why we have Ubisoft and tons of other western developers making their females look...well...ugly, manly and fitting the narrative that women in games must NOT be sexualized lest they won't be taken seriously (yet, JAPANESE, CHINESE and Korean developers says a big fat hello boys).
Erm, yeh am going to disagree with you. I can still enjoy a game if the lead character wants to look like Ripley from Aliens sure...
Nah, I like my female gaming characters to look less androgenous.
Good, time for that hair to grow back then.
Unpopular Opinion:
A vocal minority comprising of simps and women complained so much (and got influential jobs within the gaming industry) about the oversexualization of female gaming characters, this is the result. Well-done ladies and gentleman, you didn't speak on my behalf and now a large number of western developed female characters look awful imo.
Love all the movie scenes they copied correctly. Amazing game showcasing that top-end realistic graphics aren't always required.
You can't keep a good SP game down. And there's plenty of gamers who appreciate these experiences.
I just hope now, that all those publishers that featured this website on their accolade trailers (and there's quite a lot) dissociate themselves also. I always felt, GIAG always played the above average game to feature there. Never too critical and always slightly or way above the median. Too late now unless they remove those videos. I mean, that is what normally happens isn't it?
/s.
Same. Sensible thinking. A few years away and gives more time to improve the AI to remove said artefacts to make Ai as attractive an option as running native without the current concessions.
28 FPS with NO DLSS or any assistance at 4K. I think the RTX 4090 is like 24 FPS. But it might be playable at 1440p
Good luck with that. My advice, don't stress out on the day 1 purchase and take yer time. You will get one eventually.
Until they do something about the scalpers issue these GPU releases are a nightmare.
Makes sense with all the Quest and other headsets no doubt sold over the season. Hoping the numbers maintain and grow moving forwards. I think the figure overall is still very low adoption rates in the grand scheme.
Some people have commented in the past they don't like the creepy Cram narrator. Here's a non-narrated version https://youtu.be/uxvjz23TQq...
I think he wears that description as a badge of honor more than anything.
Nah, he just sounds like an old perv. Certainly, the style is not for everyone, but he does have a sizable following. There is a video where he's not speaking playing this.

Just seen someone write the following and not sure what to think:
"Here's a message to all the feminists and woke ideologues defending The Witcher 4 and Naughty Dog's Intergalactic,
Where were you when Forspoken was released?
Where were you when Dragon Age: The Veilguard was released?
Where were you when Star Wars Outlaws was released?
Where were you when Alan Wake 2 was released?
But you answered your own reasoning in the wrong way you intended. They wore WIGS.
Thing is, a lot of people saying "well I don't care", but equally there's a lot of people who "I do care". The fact that this is being debated at all is because ND have deliberately designed their character to produce this divide. Same with the Abby (insert what she did to J) crowd who liked or understood that vs those who hated her for it.
I am torn here. I think a defined character is fantastic, but a generic one gets lost in a sea of many. I...
@buffig. @S2Killinit I think you might be being a little disingenuous on purpose. ND make games how they want to make em. Granted. But I firmly believe there's a bit of rage baiting going on to drive interest in this new IP of theirs. Beyond the "core" gamer crowd who will lap up anything ND anyway.
Abby was a divisive character for her actions and looks. ND knew this would happen by design choice. I just think this is part of their MO now to make these char...
As mentioned in the article, one has to question the motives.
@moomoo319 you're ignoring ND's past flavours especially with Abby Schwarzenegger. With the Abby thing, her OTT design really did grate on a number of levels. Shaved head might have been done before, sure there are numerous examples, but whether they are actually highly regarded is a different matter. Let's have Crystal Dynamics/Nixxes make the next Lara Croft completely flat chested and bald to fit ...
Tati Gabrielle is stunningly beautiful IRL.
