I don't think so. Completely different in appearance. However Evie's attire is all white so could be a connection.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
The irony is that western bluehaired game devs would have exactly the same reaction.

Im into adult women, yes, do i look for them to be 18yo only? No, but i dont discriminate as long as they are adults. Those on the younger side(say 25yo and younger) often didnt accumulate enough of trauma and penis mileage like 30-35yo and older did, they have fewer annoying habbits too so its never a negative, and often a positive especially if we talking commitment/longterm relationship, not just sliding inbetween her soulgaps few times and thats it
Ginocentric way of thinking that men gotta date only women their age is totally delulu, huge majority(to not say all, just to be safe)of men prefer women in their prime, thats simple biology, just look how A-list celebs, top pr0 athletes and multimilionaires/bilionaires behave, as long as they got option they will always opt for adult but primetime woman, biology wired us that way in order for human species to survive

It's weird that people are talking so much about the way the character looks when the combat and world design look so god damn jawdropping.

To be fully honest... I can understand the critics of Evie young appearance... i mean, she looks like a taller version of Lily (first game) and her trailer voice looks older and more mature than than face.

Though the first game was action focused, Shift Up made some bad mistakes with the story, a shame considering that they had an easy layup just with the worldbuilding.
- Raven was the actual protagonist. She's the only character with a dramatic arc and the one who pushes the story forward.
- Adam's role / intentions should be more fleshed out throughout the game. You can't have that plot twist with a character that hasn't had any protagonism.
- Tachy needed more appearances and have some beef with Raven, as it's hinted in the prologue.
They noticed some of this, especially with Raven, because in the Nikke-Stellar Blade collab, she is by far the most important character. I hope they bring her back and do her justice.

Looks great but I already miss EVE
She's much younger looking than Eve and it's a character action game where everything centers around her. Bound to be a point of discussion.

You forgot the slice-of-life interactions between Adam and Eve... i really tought we would see more interactions between his grumpiness and her naivete about the old world... and we had ONE INTERACTION ONLY

Looks legit as what i was expecting for an actual next gen during all this years. It´s been a long time since i was surprised with actual real time graphics, if they´re not selling smoke...Is this UE 6?

Happy for you. Or sorry that happened. Whatever. Rambling on why sexualizing school girls is actually a good thing is just a super weird hill to die on.

Tbf, I remember the very first trailer for the first Stellar Blade was dropped waaaayyyy before release to the point where Eve completely changed. This could be a repeat where the reveal is so far ahead of the actual release, it could very well be a PS6 game.

Yes, I meant that too.
The dude is a stoic silent type, which completely goes against the purpose of the story. I don't mean they flirt of anything of that sort (that's not the tone of the game) but it doesn't make any sense their lack of interactions considering the events of the last third.
I'm glad that there's no abundance of dialogue while you are playing and characters only yap in cutscenes, but goddamit, those two needed much more development.

Kind of known for awhile especially when shiftup said they are self publishing, why would they limit themselves to 1 platform. They have also express bring SB to more platforms. Time limit exclusive really doesn't benefit both sides. I can still see Sony day 1 or 1 year exclusive to help getting new dev or IP off the ground, then they are on their own if the IP is a success.

I mean there's no guarantee they'll do the same here. Shift Up isn't tied to Sony with this one. They can do what they want this time around.
World looks nothing special.
Combat "looks" good visually, but so did Stellar Blade's.
Let's face it, Eve was a big part of why the game sold as well as it did. I would have never played it if the protagonist was a dude for instance.

Almost guaranteed they will. Early game development and final Eve are almost completely different. I'm sure ShiftUp will do nothing but improve her as they develop the game.

Looks amazing. I'll miss Eve but I guess is was hard to go anywhere with her after the way that story ended, I like the change in combat style so I'll give the new Gal a chance
Really hoping the same people will do the music because that ost for stellar blade 1 was incredible
You can basically just trust Korea to make good stuff, this ain't like some western dev lol

Heh, we're almost 40 pages into the GoW Lafaye OT and it'd probably take the better part of the day to find one single post about how the game looks to play in there.
GAF's gonna GAF, I guess.
...But also, from the little bit I can catch on my phone on the road today, there's not really gameplay in here so much as there is a few combat animation cycles in motion from the early production slice, plus some cinematic cutscene/QTE angles of jumps. We can guess that it will be more tight-cropped fisticuff combat given what's shown so far (...and maybe it maybe there will or maybe not he a reason why it's still called "Stellar Blade"), we can extrapolate how the sequel would evolve by comparing the two, but other than that, there's probably only so much to talk about "gameplay"wise this early on?

depends, this looks pretty polished already. Figure its like 2 years away? I think the first version of Eve was like 4-5 years from release, like a prototype

There's no projecting. Pete's post defending sexualizing schoolgirls said they are "peak female performance". His words. I firmly believe anyone openly saying things like this need to be on an FBI watchlist.

They should reveal who the actress is so that the talk about the babyface goes away.
A lot of modern day stars have babyfaces, coincidentally the actors that people here talk about the most, Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, etc. who are all 30s or near 30. I think only Tom Holland has barely crossed that line recently and that's because of his unfortunate receding hairline.
That's why they're all still playing high schoolers or high school-adjacent roles.

Another example, im sure u remember that worldfamous japanese girlsband and their hitsong(its ost song from bleach anime ), video recorded in 2009, guess what ages those women were at that time? 18-21yo
The band is still active/going on tours, making new songs and still has its all 4 og members btw
Im not rambling about anything, just showing u examples of adult asian women, they look young/hot but are not children, they are young adults, and no matter how much u try to shame normal healthy male behaviour(coditioned by biology/species survival for tens of thousands of years btw), it wont change reality even one bit.
Quite the opposite, it would be "weird" and unnatural for guys to prefer old wrinkly unatractive infertile women, even if they themselfs are old and wrinkly too

so this is a prequel? makes sense since there appears to be cities and trains and stuff

Hehehehehe....
People praising movies like Poor Things or Cutties are the ones talking about Asian girls and Asians in general.
It's the usual projection and hypocrisy, with a few bits of racism here and there.
