To make her more appealing? To sell more copies of the game? Why the obsession with realism? It's a videogame about mythologies and legends, yet people are focusing on realism when it comes to the MC's design and nothing else. Why?

Yep, since when God of War is realistic? Kratos is "wearing" ashes of his dead family, WTF?

Fair point, and that's the same question I'm asking in the second part of my comment. Why realism with her and not Kratos? Is it something to do with the face-scanned performance, or do they have an ironic double standard when it comes to female characters?

I'm at least glad they didn't try to masculinify her features for the sake of inclusion a la Mary Jane, but that's a low bar.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

I am not buying the game because they made her uglier. That is literally the only reason I'm not buying it.

Another franchise sacrificed to the anti-waifu agenda lol

 

[Moondoggy]

You heaven't seem good and great looking women in real life?



Model should be based on her in 2018, not 2026. They can do whatever they want with... 3D models of people, including making them look better (like Freya), making them look uglier, younger, older - whatever.



It's PS5 version (on Pro).

 

[violence]

I think they could've leaned into a goth-undead look. Nothing major, just a subtle thing. She was dead five minutes age right? (I never beat Ragnarok and never got to the point where she shows up.)

Yeah agree. Imo she doesn't look all that bad, just kinda uglier than her IRL model.

If it were me, I'd forget about face-scans and make original characters. For this one and for every game, because to me it doesn't make any sense to have the chance to make anything you want yet still default to something players might have already seen a hundred times on TV.

What do you mean that's not realistic? Are you telling me Kratos skin color doesn't come from having albinism? Aw man, that's not realistic at all, preorder cancelled!

All I can see now is she looks like gollum right?

 

[Witchilich]

Thinks Faye is ugly but is okay with this






Every single time.

Pretty funny that you became what you accuse others to be.

Gonzito are you admitting you think its wrong to call out someone for liking Fable and hating the new GoW because of "ugly bitches"?

Update: Looks like there was an agenda involved. He is not okay with calling out someone for liking Fable and hating new GoW at the same time.

 

[nkarafo]

She looks a lot like Greta Thunberg

 

[Hadji*]

All I know is I'm thankful to God I'm a PC gamer now and my PS5 plays a few good VR games every now and then, I don't remember when was the last time I spent a dime Sony.. Probably when I bought Helldivers 2, on PC.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Tell me you've never woken up next to a woman who isn't wearing makeup without saying it

GAF is never beating the allegations. Most of us here haven't seen a woman in real life in more than 6 months forget waking up next to one

 

[NahaNago]

I think this time it was just to match the look of the current god of war games.

 

[Mozza]

She looks a lot like Greta Thunberg

How dare you.......... have you no shame?

 

[Gitaroo]

For someone who woke up from being dead I think Faye looks great.

 

[Rising_Hei]

She looks like a normal human being, something that can't be said about 99,5 % of what you see on the internet.
Also, they had to make her look older for obvious reasons.

It was a joke, dumbass.

You went and collected all those replies cuz you misunderstood a joke, honestly loyalty to a brand is just fucking funny.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

To be fair, you are comparing the actress using make up vs the character fighting in the wild.

No skin care for Faye.

My problem with this game has nothing to do the Faye look. I just prefer Kratos and mythological foes. Not a talking cube and sword ribbon.

You were joking about wanting to play Fable all these years?

[ResurrectedContrarian]

western devs hide behind "realism" but this is the only realistic female character I've seen lately

 

[TGO]

No make-up

Maybe it's because she older or something
I thought the hair looks good though....

 

[L*][*N*K]

What are you on?

She looks like a normal human being

Not familiar with GoW lore but is she supposed to be a normal human being?

Because she certainly doesn't look like she is doing normal human being stuff.

 

[Bojji]

Even 41 Deborah can't beat 300 years old Faye

She is a giant, they don't age or age very slowly. Maybe she is a giant god as well (who knows). People deducted that she is more than 300 years old by the events of GOW 2018.

 

[Mozza]

For someone who woke up from being dead I think Faye looks great.

I bet you say that to all your dates..

 

[Zacfoldor]

Did they ugly up Angrboda?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

I knew it would happen, but I still can't believe it. I can't believe people defend this shit. Do you like ugly women? Of course you do.

Oh...

There goes the normal human being thing then.

 

[EN250]

No it isnt, they intentionally make them uglier. Even Aloy is butt ugly. Something wrong with these dumbasses that thinks people like to play as uglyass chicks.

It's not hard to make them look attractive, look at Capcom.

Aloy in Forbbiden West probably yeah, but the one from Zero Down looks nice, it's the stupid mess of a haircut that screw up her facial expressions to look weirder than they should

 

[Bojji]

I think she looks as good or better than the actress:

 

[Signalis]

Some of you guys dumb as hell. Women look a lot different when they dont wear makeup and dont do their hair

She still doesn't look like Fentanyl Faye here

Steam has lots of porn games to fill your needs.

Theres always that brain dead zombie that insinuates we want porn

I just don't understand why the hyper realism we need for females in games where we have fucking talking bodiless heads

Explain

The explanation is that we need to get laid more often apparently. At least that is what many of the pros here recommend

I wanted to say nothing, but I can't anymore….

…do you even listen to yourself? Are you like 12 or just emotionally impaired to spew your vitriol and toxic thought over a gaming forum.
I don't understand why you a re not banned already.

U can call me toxic all u want, as long as u dont call me a liar its fine, nothing toxic about being attracted to women in their prime, men are biologically wired that way in order for human species to survive btw, have a nice day, i dont wish ban on any1, ppl can have different worldview including delulu one and i still wish them very best xD

I second this. Although funnily enough I do love me an experienced woman but hell yea i like when she puts her face on but when you said how men are biologically wired that way just heard Andrew Wilsons words echoing as he always talks about that and it just breaks liberals

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

I go back to the fact these conversations never existed ever, only about 10 15 years ago with the SJW pieces of shit and the rot that has brainwashed and festered into society where people litrelly just can't handle girls being pretty in entertainment and the funny thing is... Where are the actual girls that complain about this? Why's it always dudes? And I'm not talking ugly fucking blue haired nose ringed dirt bags, I'm talking where are real women take issue with pretty girls in gaming or entertainment.

I know one place where they are, at some event cosplaying the hell out of pretty female characters. I just don't get and will never get dudes fighting against girls looking pretty... My straight white toxic male self will never understand.

I have no issues with woman protagonist. I just hope they dont make them ugly, lesbian and butch.

So far we have confirmation of 2/3 of those.

I dont buy a game where Im ripping fucking hearts out of enemies and chopping their heads off and shitting down their throat for my women to look like my aunt browsing Walmart

 

[Gonzito]

Fire the developers who made this thing

 

[CGNoire]

It's not, Jean Grey is top tier representation of female beauty, but whatever, Idgaf about capeshit anymore, so they can make her an ogre for all I care, Wolverine representation of Jean Grey is the least of the problems from that game...

I was referencing the gow chick ai upgrades.
