People massively overstate the role of anita types in this type of character design. A lot of this is due to an obsession with realism at the expense of good art direction and an inferiority complex toward the medium of films. A lot of devs (like druck himself) feel an inferiority complex towards cinema and want games to be taken seriously as not just a fantasy for teen boys. So it results in bland corporate designs.
Woke blandification absolutely does happen (like concord) but i dont think its the main driver in bland designs.

To be fair these are airbrushed, edited model photos for the women models and said women are using makeup in the photos, it makes sense their characters will look different. And in the case of spiderman 2, the models face was damaged in a car accident iirc. Not that it justifies bland corporate art direction for the women.
People on the other hand are used to men looking uglier.
>>
>>740559729
I genuinely believe makeup is part of the problem. Women go to a lot of effort concealing imperfections that a face scan will not. With men you're used to seeing much closer to the raw face which is why is easier to recreate faithfully.
>>
>>740559864
No it didnt? Maybe in terms of the revenue you can generate, especially from live service, but as an art form it is still not taken seriously by boomers and you still see people trying to say violent video games cause mass shooters while you never see the same for violent movies. Video games still are not taken as seriously as an art form as films are and that's why insecure fucks like Druckmann make their way into positions at game studios and then make "le cinematic third person action adventure game with quick time events and 10 minute long cutscenes".

that's 100% bullshit. the face scan first goes through a software like zbrush where literally everything about the scan can be altered or fixed, all the proportions, etc then the final model is retopologized for game engines. this is necessarily the pipeline.
artists who study anatomy known exactly how to sculpt an attractive female face. you could study human anatomy yourself. the same principles apply.

Elle Fanning also wears makeup but her scan in Death Stranding 2 is almost 1:1.
Kojimbo just has alien technology i guess.
>>
>>740559729
here are your reasons, there are different beauty standards for men and womsn
1. camera angles
2. focal length
3. lighting
4. make up
Action movie stars like keanu reeves look normal because he's filmed at a variety of focal lengths and wear minimal makeup in comparison to women

That's because she's fucking hideous, so even if her face-scan gets fucked up, no one is gonna be able to tell.

According to Kojima, faces with very distinctive features are much easier to scan and get right than more flawless or generically beautiful faces.

No. Video games are not art. They are products and entertainment. People that make video games are only different from whores in spelling.

This isn't true, there are sometimes clear differences in quality even with her, especially when it comes to her eyes looking weird or not. Compare her scan between Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor games for example.

Kojima is more the exception proves the rule i guess. And kojima openly indulges in making his games silly and fun in a way that honors gaming and cinema alike, though he couldnt write a proper, well-edited and written story to save his life. Whereas the likes of druck are obsessed with being seen as the next terrence malick or whatever and that influences their art direction.

There are plenty of fat and ugly dudes who date, marry, and have kids with hotties. I am not a feminist but it's true women have lower beauty standards for men.

She looks the same now as she did in the given image. Even if it were the reason they have people, and the old model, to fix anything wrong. It being that fucked is not justifiable- some faggot wanted her to look wrong.

The reason why Concord got all that hate is because of basic examples like this. MGS4 was released, Concord took 9 fucking years with the excuse of doing detailed face tech. What a bunch of lies corporate shareholders ate up because they are retarded about their investments.

Because they will frequently edit or adjust them after the fact, which means needing to use photo reference material communicated back-and-forth between retards.
There will be consistent distortion, because of the use of iphone cameras, it's like if editors were told to make a voice recording sound like the 10$ mic of some random kid in the 2000s.
Debra Wilson face scans include less retard back-and-forth.

Who cares what dumbass boomers think? They think anything the next generations creates is trash anyway (whether it's true or not)
And criminals use that as an excuse because they know how emotionally captivating videogames are, which is why it's a low hanging fruit for them to get out of a prison sentence. If anything it just proves videogames are more powerful than movies.

My point wasnt really disagreeing with you; bland designs are a large part due to dull design/art direction
(My original post was here >>740559769). But you cant deny sheer ineptitude plays a role. Aloy in the horizon games has plenty of sexualized outfits, yet it didnt stop them from screwing up her face in 2 in an effort to make it detailed.
Likewise, black cat in spiderman 2 is openly sexualized, yet because mjs face model was fucked up by an accident, mj looks hideous.
As i said before, woke blandification absolutely does exist (the aforementioned concord) but i dont think it is the main driver of bland designs. And considering that horizon and spiderman have sexualization, i think a part of it is due to a competency crisis in aaa gaming. Kojima has been spearheading cinematics in gaming for decades, comparing the expertise of his team to other aaa companies is like comparing Scorcese to the russo brothers.

My personal hot take is that anita types helped provide wokey justifications for developers to shift away from stylized attractive design, but not much of a catalyst. Woke stuff in the entertainment industries is more of a symptom of rot and stagnation than the cause of the rot itself, and often serves as a sleazy way to justify moronic behavior.

Friendly reminder those men are beautiful and those women are ugly IRL
What you want is for game devs to not only accurately model the face models but to also doll them up with make-up. The setting in most games don't warrant use of make-up for beauty.

>artists who study anatomy known exactly how to sculpt an attractive female face.
so you are saying you dont want the in-game model to look like the actual face model but attractive women?
>>
>>740558274
The actual reason is you don't care about Debra Wilson, and you don't care about men.Therefore you don't scrutinise their character models. You just glance at them and go "yup, that looks like 'em I guess".
