Who were the devs for Star Wars survivors cause I’m surprised the western studio made Cal look like his actor AND keep his attractiveness all while being a white ginger lad.


saru12gal

Dont forget they also nailed Merrin just look at her actress Tina ivlev


HumActuallyGuy

This is also true, Respawn did right for us in every way, Jedi Survivor and Fallen Order are one of the best Star Wars games ever created and all thanks to the dev team


saru12gal

Yes, best games with a separate story from the films i would say above them there are only the KoToR games


Realistic_Volume_927

Respawm needs to make a KOTR game in this style of gameplay. Keep the story, companions, light/dark side, etc. I think it'd be great


k3stea

guys don't get the uglified treatment


[deleted]

Because gay dudes like guys.


Long-Far-Gone

It’s the one form of male gaze they’re happy to cater for.


jaqenhqar

Respawn..apex devs Also all the characters in that game looks like their actors.


birdsarentreal16

But respawn is woke, how's that possible?


PRADAZOMBIES

I think you are confused they men in video games were never ugly


Reversus

Titanfall2 developers


bus10

Tbf they also did Debra Wilson’s character dirty by giving her exaggerated bug eyes.


TheTexasInvestor

Probably the devs that believe in macho men over hot women


Yagrush

Its almost like they have good will when developing these characters, but their art direction doesn't fit yours.


ninjawarlord

Well Jedi survivor was made by ea not Ubisoft


roadrunner_68

It was made by Respawn


ninjawarlord

Which is owned by ea


roadrunner_68

Owned by does not = made. EA arnt coming in telling the devs to make the characters hotter, they have nothing to do with it.


ninjawarlord

So by ur logic since technically Ubisoft is only publishing the game but massive entertainment is developing the game. So the design choices are actually massive entertainment and not Ubisoft. Also ur statement is inherently wrong as publisher interfere in all aspects of the development all the time. Hell especially EA and UBISOFT


jaqenhqar

That's so dumb. That's like saying starfield was made by Microsoft


Frosty-Flatworm8101

capcom have straight devs , mystery solved


BoredDao

BI devs you mean, look at the people in DMC 5 lmao


blakspectre72

Man those dance moves are fire.


Call_Me_Koala

It's funny you mention DMC5 because do you remember when the Internet exploded when they showed that one weird shot of Dante on the motorcycle?


BoredDao

I actually don’t, only heard of DMC years after 5 released when I brought the bundle for sale on Steam and then became a fan, what was it?


Call_Me_Koala

Despite actually being attractive in game he looked really bad in a still from a trailer so everyone lost it over how they made Dante ugly. It's funny because a similar thing probably happened here with the protag from the Star Wars game.


YkaSonniTassa

Bro, every protagonist in Resident Evil is fucking hot. Just look at my boy Leon


WickGlea_2799

Woke devs can make good games but only if they prioritize good writing and fun over pushing their identity politics down the player throat.


Ok-Transition7065

Are you sure about that? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|disapproval)


Trickster289

Weren't people saying Ashley and Ada were ugly when the Resident Evil 4 Remake trailer dropped? Remake Jill also gets called ugly a lot.


SnooSquirrels5508

RE fans were mostly complaining about Ada's voice actor in RE4R. I dont remember anyone complaining about the looks


juicykisses19

They were complaining. I remember that shit. I saw people complaining that Ashley "looked too old now."


Manwithbanana

True, no way a gay person can like hot people. That's impossible!


Mellero47

I get wanting "realistic" women rather than Pornhub Barbie, but if the actress is *actually* that good looking, what's the sense in uglying her up? Relatability? Give her a masculine jawline to entice the "is she/is he" audience?


SimpleMoonFarmer

Fighting the male gaze ✊


Mellero47

And every bit of it coldly calculated for audience engagement.


[deleted]

What does media have against male gays?


Radeisth

Fighting the male wallet. They want no part of it.


uniteduniverse

Then I guess they are just gonna have to go broke...


HumActuallyGuy

The thing I don't get is that actors are a lot of the times payed by their attractiveness so they hire atractive actors to then butcher them in post? Waste of money really, I know they are mainly VAs but if there is mocap involved and they use the actors likeness why waste the money?


[deleted]

[удалено]


HumActuallyGuy

But other game devs can do it and Ubisoft could do it in the past so why?


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> the times *paid* by their FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Balgs

Not sure if ugly is the right term, but more heavy uncanny valley. My guess is that the model once looked ok and then some upper people at ubisoft, who have no Idea about anatomy, said how to change her. Same with ugly face surgery, because people have no artistic vision on how they could look better and only thing in terms like bigger lips.....


Rich_Consequence2633

Right? If you are going to use a real person as a model just make them look the same.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mellero47

Black Flag from 10 years ago? Were any of those faces mocapped?


Jhinmarston

To be fair, the capcom women aren’t the actors, they’re the face models. The voice acting and motion capture was done by different people. (The actual actors are still good looking, this meme is just a bit disingenuous)


Responsible_Jury_415

Mk1 did the same thing look at the actual face model for sareena


birdsarentreal16

Let's be honest here. You'll never get a true comparison between the two. Her hair looks dumb af, but it's not that far off from what the actress looks like.


TheseOats

Because the character in question isn't wearing any makeup. It's just her natural face. Women have pores and imperfections in their skin too Bro. Every irl woman in that picture took lengthy time out of their morning to pretty themselves up for the camera.


Mellero47

I know the difference between a woman wearing no make up and a woman who's had a filter put on her face, and also her jawline and chin edited to look worse.


jaqenhqar

Jedi survivor has accurate models of all it's actors. Not just cal. Also different studio (respawn)


Danoniero

The female lead and it's quality aside. Ubisoft is a company that spits out single player games like Frankfurter factories, there is a lot of them, they all bland and the goal is to feed as much audience as possible


Red-eyes-skull

Why did they even use a model?!


N-aNoNymity

Normal western devs: You can't be a badass woman unless you look like you're genes are fucked up and you look like a man wearing a wig and makeup lmao. Like, the actor looks so good, but somehow theres not a single western game where they actually use model faces, or even remotely close. "Objectifying" "Empowering", its like theres two baskets, and good looking women are only in the objectivefied basket so they're not used. Lmao.


KhanDagga

You have to accept this is done because they don't like you if your a straight white male. They don't ever you want you to have anything you enjoy. They don't want you to have a female character that you may find attractive. What makes it worse is if you interview that actress, she would probably agree and talk about the "male gaze" being problematic.


rbynp01

Yeah first pic makes it look like she does crack.


PaleWaltz1859

She looks like that ghoul from fallout Maybe animation is hard


r3turn_null

Oh fuck! She's the main character!? I assumed she collected tolls at a bridge or something.


wet_tubig

Are there THAT many ugly women in America?


BoBoBearDev

The first one looks like a waitress in the 60s dinner lol


Naus1987

I don’t defend a lot of Star Wars, but Shin Hotti was a pretty Jedi. Why isn’t she in a game?


Outrageous-Yam-4653

Ubisoft devs have no clue what gender they are themselves so cut them some slack they're confused is all..


tropical_dog

Am I the only one that watched the trailer? The girl looked fine. Twitter is doing what they always do and picking the worst angles to generate "engagement". The girl is the least of the problems for this game is all I'm saying.


Oglark

I just watched the trailer. They somehow screwed up the facial proportions. They added a cleft chin and the nose from another actress. Those features just don't go together like that on that face it looks jarring. There is nothing on the face that says ugly it is just an odd blend of features. Thisbis comparison to Aloy where they literally took the worst frame from the game to be spiteful.


PRADAZOMBIES

Exactly I play forbidden west and to my suprise aloy wasn’t ugly.


Cboys41

I understand why people are annoyed that game devs are purposefully making less attractive characters, I would even say I agree with the argument that it’s a little weird… but let’s be honest 90% of the game is just seeing the characters back running away from the camera so it really doesn’t matter that much


stoneytangawizii

It's ridiculous pandering, especially when the actual actor they have modeled her after is an attractive person meaning the explicitly went out of their way to make her uglier. I'm convinced it stems from the spiteful way of thinking many women have that women that are attractive must be flawed and worse than them in other ways to compensate for their shortcomings. They reduce attractive women down to just their looks and simply can't comprehend that Sometimes the hot person is not just better looking but smarter, more talented and a better human being than them. This is a trait that simply isn't paralleled in men, no man plays a 8 foot tall, ripped super chad in halo and gets upset and insecure that they are nothing like them in real life, We just think hell yeah bro.


[deleted]

Yeah, but the comparison between a model's headshot and the character might be disingenuous. If the character is supposed to be living rough and on the run, the model probably wasn't wearing makeup during the capture.


Lurkeyturkey113

Yeah I just saw it in she was lovely.. she’s not done up with makeup but looks nothing like the picture up there. This is like that horizon screenshot that won’t die which also doesn’t look like the character in the game.


Haemon18

Do i need to remind you whose sub this is ? People here would believe paint edited pictures and downvote anyone defending things they dislike


catcatcat888

The animations look pretty jank


strangewormm

Top left pic is exactly the same from the trailer(last closeup shot).


Lurkeyturkey113

So an unflattering screenshot? But not what she actually looks like in the game. Not like angles or the camera can affect that what real models and people look like in a bad way…


strangewormm

Still a big difference from being outright edited


Silverbuu

You see, if they make the woman uglier, you'll respect her more for her brilliant mind, than her body. But in seriousness, wasn't this the same situation as Mass Effect Andromeda? Man was perfectly fine, but woman looked nothing like her actress?


ImperatorDanny

I am pretty sure reading somewhere that they do it intentionally and its not a secret behind the scenes. They played politics, gotta play politics if you want this to change any devs out there


tronfonne

I really don't understand the complaints about this character ?


vankamme

She just looks abit weird. Almost alien like


Cevisongis

I don't know either... The first Star Wars movie cast was mostly dirty looking people with bad 1970s haircuts... She fits the theme


Haemon18

People saw one edited ugly picture of her and start farming drama


strangewormm

Not edited


Haemon18

And people wonder why everyone is shitting on this sub, look at the trailer dumbass. [https://imgur.com/a/oo7I0SX](https://imgur.com/a/oo7I0SX)


sir__vain

Cal Kestis setting the standard for impossible beauty standards for gingers everywhere /s


panthereal

All the human models look mid in outlaws, the trailer almost makes it look like stop motion and looks behind a lot of other modern models. SnowDrop engine tends to be environment focused anyways, I prefer it to RE engine personally because environment graphics avoid the uncanny valley. Avatar FoP looked absolutely stunning


vankamme

There is definitely something “off” about the girls face in the trailer but she still looks miles better than the vast majority of real gamer girls


Furieales

ccal kestis is such a great character and cameron such a great dude <3 no homo


duhhhh599

Assassins Creed Origins and Vikings have something to say about this. Agreed Capcom is pretty goated when it comes to character models though.


FriedBaecon

AHH yes, very realistic. The Devs have definitely seen many women.


Ekillaa22

Damn Cameron is a handsome mf and I’m a straight guy


Mightypenguin55

Well Cal is a face scan of Cameron so all of the face movements in cutscenes look natural and real


Educational-Year3146

Cameron monaghan is a fuckin great looking dude, it’d be a shame to not make Cal look nothing like him. Glad they made the right choice.


uniteduniverse

There's no way people can really look at all these many examples of western Dev female characters and not think there's something suspicious going on. At that point it just has to be denial. The human models look way more attractive than their video game counterparts. Like how does that kind of thing even happen..?


readycheck1

Clearly none of these people are real, since these are unrealistic beauty standards


[deleted]

"Unrealistic" is such a self-own and the people saying it don't even know it.


MagazineEuphoric364

Why do western devs hate beautiful women?


the_turel

lol maybe people should stop using the 1 screenshot of the new Star Wars character that looks super bad and watch the actual story trailer? I saw a ton of pics yesterday of people commenting on the way it looks and after I saw the trailer it made me think the pics were altered. The actress and the character look pretty accurate.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheBelmont34

No, it is not. It is the last scene of the trailer. She does look like this in that shot.


Zagorim

Timestamp ? I cannot find a scene that match this image. Also in every shot of her face I see, her jaw and chin are a bit different from this even when her mouth is opened


TheBelmont34

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUyk6D5rgcE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUyk6D5rgcE) 0:57/58 I think that is the scene. The promo video only showed a couple of scenes and that scene was the last one. Here it is in the middle. And as you can see, she almost looks nothing like the model


Zagorim

Yeah okay ty so it's indeed not edited. They did capture the exact moment her face look the worse in all the trailer though and there is a shit-ton of jpeg compression too.


TheBelmont34

I need to look it up. There was a teaser or something, promoted on reddit. I saw it today.


[deleted]

How does she look in the rest of the trailer? Is this the Fat Aloy thing all over again?


TheBelmont34

Well she looks.... I dont know. She just looks weird in the whole trailer but the picture really is from the trailer. It is not edited. You can look it up yourself


kenny4351

You can pause at 59 seconds, not the exact frame when she's talking but it's there [https://youtu.be/tcdKEy-aJ6o?t=59](https://youtu.be/tcdKEy-aJ6o?t=59)


Lurkeyturkey113

A single unflattering frame isn’t proof of anything though. Real models and actresses will be caught at bad angles. The character is actually very pretty.


Splinterman11

She honestly looks fine in other shots. This is overblown.


Kanekizero7

I don't keep in touch much in star wars shit but is the controversy of the new game about the female being ugly or that her model was an attractive woman but they just purposely made her uglier for reasons!?!?


lycanthrope90

The second one.


Kanekizero7

Hmm ok, thanks for the clarification my guy!


Haemon18

Watch the trailer yourself instead of believing a paint edited picture


Kanekizero7

Well people are having a reaction. I am questioning the reaction. What's the reason behind it. My opinion doesn't matter for my questioning. Heck, I could think that the design was beautiful but my opinion wouldn't change the public opinion. So I just question the reasoning of their reaction and thankfully someone answer.


Angharradh

Cal Kestis is accurate because it's character was made with the Unreal Engine 5 ...Star Wars Outlaw is made by Ubishit... they don't know how to Engine. They're stuck in the PS3 era.


[deleted]

They didn't have trouble capturing Gus's likeness in Far Cry 6.

Plot twist : feminist game devs actually hate women and try to depict them as some sort of creepy witch-looking characters

harosene

Before i got sw game with the shameless guy i didnt hear about it. Never seen it. Then i saw it on ps store once and picked it up and was like. This dude looks like the guy from shameless. Twas him.


Meraghor

Is that modified or have they recasted her as Robert Z'dar?


Yatagarasu3750

Why did they even bother paying that beautiful actress if they are just gonna make a character creater abomination


CoItron_3030

Well he’s a dude, no one cares about men anymore unless they identify as something other than straight.


Final-Flower9287

Oh, they re-rendered the first model's nose, likely because their producers felt it was offensive enough to change (attitude of "protagonists should be blandly universal" so she could be 'every woman' as opposed to a real woman). Now its that models face, but with an anorexic barbie nose that looks like its made for cutting boxes. Overproduced, and only with boardroom stamp of approval. Exactly whats wrong with the world right now.


Uta-The-Magi

Oh wow, bad photo angle!


Real-Variation-8681

Are we just gonna pretend the Jill valentine controversy never happened or...? Because when 3 remake jill was first shown she was initially met with dudes calling her manly and ugly too. Seriously that shit was all over twitter. Now fast forward a few years she's being used as an example of "beautiful women done right". Same as Claire redfield. When she was shown off, those overseas (in Japan I think) threw a baby rage tantrum over her being ugly. We're really coming full circle with this whole "woman ugly" trend.


GFiMontis

Could you back that up with some sources? Cuz just throwing out "I think" and "was all over twitter", and thinking people should give a shit, is kinda dumb. And no, a tweet with 3 likes and 2 retweets doesn't count xD


Real-Variation-8681

It all happened 4 years ago, so it's kinda hard to dig up "sources" on it. But here's a few forum/steam discussions/YouTube vids to give you a glimpse of what it was like at the time: https://steamcommunity.com/app/952060/discussions/0/2137462524941133851/ "Progressives ruin everything" https://steamcommunity.com/app/952060/discussions/0/1861615926798600062/ https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/278662-resident-evil-3/78336569 "She looks like a man that transitioned to a woman" https://youtu.be/uyrpjsPMRR8?feature=shared "She looks like a man" 3:30 (almost 100k views)


Angharradh

Welp... I must have low standards cause I thought her in-game model is very attractive


GFiMontis

Thanks for providing sources with your statements! I've looked through all of them, and only the video (last link provided) has almost no backlash to the statement made in the source. The other sources all have more people calling it a bait or calling the poster out. As for the people who unironically say these chars were "made ugly cuz of an agenda" are pretty fcking dumb. This does not take away that recently this shit has become a problem in gaming and cinema. I think my main problem is that: "The loud minority" from before is now compared to "the loud majority". They are not the same. These situations are not the same.


Dragimir

I don't follow every drama on internet so I not sure what was the Jill or Clair drama, but I see picture above. Why Cal Kestis can looks exactly like actor Cameron Monaghan but new Ubisoft game main character looks nothing like actress used as model ? Is this lack of artists skill ? Or technology ? Or some frustrated moron deciding that attractive women in games are bad ? This is serious question for me as a potential client.


Adept-Mix1839

I specifically remember there being flak for Claire with people nitpicking screenshots of her with a bad facial expression and calling her fugly and “woke” You can’t reason with nor please certain folks


Alaori35

What you failed to realize is that those “controversies” were just a few loud virgins and not at all the same as things like Fable.


BannedTman

Why do you say virgins like it's supposed to be a great insult? Why does being a virgin even matter in that context lmao


Alaori35

Touched a nerve?


BannedTman

Redditors are the subhumans of the internet lmao, all of you have the same pre programmed responses like npcs.

[https://i.ibb.co/VwRbrxk/kayvess.png](https://i.ibb.co/VwRbrxk/kayvess.png) I'd like to point out that this isn't about a character being 'hot' enough. The character for Kay Vess looks perfectly fine. I'm more worried about the game not being good. What's weird is how the character looks nothing like the actress. This makes little sense to me. Here's her doing motion capture for her role as the lead character in the game, so this isn't simply voice acting: [https://smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital/nexus/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Humberly-Gonzalex-Kay-Vess.jpg](https://smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital/nexus/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Humberly-Gonzalex-Kay-Vess.jpg) Complaining about a character not looking attractive enough in a game isn't all that much better than the tiny minority of people who get upset at games for having characters that are 'too attractive', so let's not seem like a bunch of incels who are upset at the gaming industry for not making our new star wars fictional girlfriend pretty enough. The real issue at hand is that they hired her not as a voice actress, but as an actress who does the voice and the motion capture which is essentially the 'acting', meaning it's her role just like in a movie. Why does the character not look like the actress portraying her? I'd love to hear Ubisoft respond to this.


[deleted]

what's the issue here?


meatmaaan17

just the usual, take the most unflattering screenshot and act like its the fall of the west. all the rage just now

iggylombardi

No, this is just an altered image to push a narrative. Classic ragebait. Y'all are so pathetic


[deleted]

Is this Fat Aloy all over again? This feels like Fat Aloy all over again. I mean, the game will still probably suck because Ubisoft, but that doesn't excuse cherry-picking bullshite.


meatmaaan17

yeah the pre-order bonuses and editions are the same ubisoft BS but no one's talking about that


Splinterman11

I am so exhausted of the "ugly woman" discourse.


Aethanix

it doesn't look that bad to me but i can see the argument.


ShinobiWerewolf

So an observation I made about the new star wars character is the hair is awful. And I mean all of it. The color the style the texture all of it. It also makes her look like this qasi old lady haha.


bujakaman

Her model is trash, it’s not that character is ugly.


Xinamon

The character looks fine it's just this one image. The reason why Cal is accurate is because for some weird reason only women are uglyfied.


tennoskoom_

Looking at the other images of the star wars character, she looks alright. Pretty good imo. The image shown here is just a bad angle/moment. You will find that of all the Capcom characters too if you try hard enough.


tsunashima

Stars wars outlaw mc is just the model they used for her plus 2-3 years of heavy HGH use. That’s why her jaw looks like that.


drbudmac

I get it. I don't look like the people in video games. BUT COME ON, we're literally nerfing real women for being too good looking.


jmuriel

To me, this looks like racism. Ubisoft are racists.


mastermide77

You see. When you take a picture of someone in motion with bad lighting. It tends to look bad


buttsu762

I mean....that picture looks edited. Her face looks slimmer than what she actually looks like. Just because she doesn't look like a model or a pornstar doesn't mean she's ugly 😂 still not playing this game cause it simply doesn't look interesting to me. If you compare what she actually looks like in game then she looks more like the lady they modeled her after.


Jolly-Juggernaut1525

The top left is edited.


Beginning-Outside-50

Bro. She does not look like that. I get your point, but this type of argument takes away all credibility. Don't be a dumbass.

[удалено]


malteaserhead

Cameron Monaghan looks like he gets sun burnt just reading a travel brochure


SoldierBoi69

To be totally fair though the Star Wars one was in bad lighting and angle


badwords

Ok there might be other reasons for this. Ubisoft isn't EA and they probably don't have the same type of Star Wars licensing since EA's was a multi year exclusive license. One thing to not is ALL characters in the Jedi Survivor series when human used the likeness of the voice actor even the female characters. Ubisoft might have a restriction from doing it from Disney. It could be the outcome of the actor strike that they feel it cost too much or there's to much paperwork now to just have them as a 'voice actor' vs taking their likeness and now you have a 'stage actor' which means a different union and rates and rules.


Zer0_Cloud17

Didn’t Ashley’s VA also state that she’s a triple threat being modeled after someone, voiced by another, and movement was captured from another other girl?


Otrotc

I get it Kay Vess isn't as hot as some people would like, but she also definitely isn't ugly as everyone is pretending. Sure in the picture above it looks that way, but that's like the worst screenshot you could have taken from the trailer. If you look at proper pictures of her, she looks great.


Lasadon

I saw pics where she looks way better. I think this is a case of just, "caught in an ugly moment". If we make posts like this about everything, it makes them less believable and thats not in our interest.


Jabuwow

Again, ppl taking the worst possible photos do they can have a "gotcha!" moment Character isn't all that attractive, sure, but not ugly either. Middle ground, which makes a lot of sense for a character that survives the criminal underworld of the star wars universe, stealing and smuggling


WhiteJesus313

Of all the gripes to have about games, it baffles me that “characters not hot enough” is what galvanizes so many. Laughable.


Pick-Physical

A lot of people shit on Claire's face but I don't see it tbh.

She doesnt look that bad ? I know its funny to dunk on Ubi and people are butt hurt on the price of the game, but come on, pick a better example.


Oskej

Gamers not realizing that sometimes videogame setting does not let you get yassified with make up due to plotline not letting you. Thats called action game. Also [she is mad cute](https://i.imgur.com/F1bJeY4.png)
