Stellar Blade 2 | Summer Game Fest Trailer

looks very Ghost in the Shell. great butt.
looks like Stellar Blade 1 is like $30 or so now. So I should get to it. Looks more action-y than a souls-like hopefully.
 
Korean beauty standards are nuts, if your a fat Western and go into a shop the clerk would literally to your face say we have no clothes for you, your to fat. Go down the street to pharmacy and get some Ozempic 😂
 
unless she strips naked and takes a BBC midway through the game, I don't see how either of them is an issue.

Yep, when I see SB2 trailer, I see aesthetic beauty in human physiology like in gymnastics.

If someone sees a porn, that's his problem.
 
R4 Ridge Racer's opening sequence is one of my favorites from that generation.


Man I miss when Japanese studios used to have beautiful poster girl characters like this for their brands. The 90s and 00s were a wonderful time culturally in Japan and America and I want it back.

I can hear the song without even watching the video.

Such a weird take, I could say the same people getting boners from what looks like teenagers are the same people that would sign up to go to Epstein's island. See how stupid that sounds? Bad enough of course you bring in trans/gay related into the conversation (as if its relevant) because they're on your mind 24/7 for some odd reason.......... might have to check that closet of yours.

On topic though the game looks sick af. The dodging aspect looked really cool I'm wondering how that is implemented.
My closet is clean mate check your own.
 
Evie kinda looks like she should be the side kick to the actual main character. Like the younger and more green soldier who tags along as support. That's basically what Lily was.

Nah man. She looks badass and the short stature fits the boxing fighting style, kinda like the Hajime no Ippo dude.

I was thinking of this exact thing before like her design is good along with every other character design from Shift Up but she looks more like a sidekick support type similar to Lily instead of the main.

The main should have been like Eve or like the other cool sexy characters aka Tachy/Raven instead.

She isn't nearly as shapely as Eve. At least not in her default outfit. Looks a little too young too. I'm not feeling this game, unless we start seeing some outfits that drastically change her body shape.

Edit: some prequel with Tachy would have been fucking amazing. I really don't get the design of Evie considering that last game and the designs in Nikke on mobile.

I mean I'll keep an open mind about it obviously, but that's the vibe I've been having and I figured out another way to put it into words. Like in any other game she would be the cut and spunky side kick or support character that travels with the protagonist.

Short girls have rights! (to be main characters)
 
This isn't a real Asian woman tho, and we're not talking about a real woman's appearance. This is a character designed from scratch for an international audience. The devs chose her face, proportions, outfit and jiggle animation. The result looks like a sexualised minor. You can disagree, but let's not pretend there's nothing questionable about the design.
I literally said in my post that this video game is fictional not real, have to imagine you realize robotic. Brass knuckles with light ing blades that come out their sides arent real right? The point that flew right past you is this is Asian art designed with Asian artistic sensibilities. The exact same thing westerners do with their characters, hence why western females are designed to be so masculine, covered up, sexless and girl bossy.


It's literally a clash of cultures, but you're so deep in your western bubble you can't understand that hence the last sentence in my post. Thankfully I'm some who's grown up with media from several parts of the world and understand that different people are different. Either way none of this matters, this is a video game not a snuff film.
 
I loved Stellar Blade and was almost certainly going to pick this up on day one, but, after this reveal? I don't know any more. I have issues with the character design.

Dressing Eve up in sexy outfits and having her do martial arts involving suggestive poses with conveniently placed camera angles to highlight her body in the first game was a-ok in my book, because she clearly was an adult. Same goes for what little I played of Nikke.

But here? Eh. It bothers me. This character is riding the line a little too much. Her face is very young looking. Like 14 or 15 years old. And the you combine that with the shorter stature and the less curvy body and this just looks like a child to me. The idea that she's going to be in similar poses and similar skimpy outfits to Eve with similar camera zooms doesn't seem right.

Look, dont expect Koreans to make their characters to look "of age" based on our population's rough looks. LOL

Evie looks like 13 year olds here, but she's more like 21 year olds over there. I dont think its pure genetics either. Koreans born and raised here age faster. Im not trying to be funny either.

Lets just for arguments' sake accept what you're saying is true. How does that make it better?

She looks like a teen by western standards. You yourself think she looks 13 by your comment. That means you're playing as a character that looks like an early teen, can dress her up in sexy outfits, and make her do sexy poses while the camera zooms in on her tits and ass. I don't like that.

And again, let me be clear, I loved all those things in Stellar Blade 1. But Eve was clearly an adult. By any standards. The fact that we're having this debate here in NeoGAF of all places means Evie is, at the very least, pushing the boundaries of what constitutes a child and what constitutes an adult.

I grew up here. Of course I see 13. I also have hard time telling Asian faces apart. You and I forcing our subjective eyes on their creation is dumb. You feel uncomfy? Then simply dont buy it. EASY.

I'm not going to. And that's my point. They just took a fan of the first game who paid full price, bought all the DLC, and even bought the soundtrack which I almost never do and I was a guaranteed day one purchaser and lost me by deciding it was a good idea to make their main character, who is going to be oggled by the camera, resemble an underage girl. And I don't think I'm alone.

I like the idea of playing a youthfull badass and am kinda hoping they ditch the sexualization instead ditching her look.

Is this not right too?

You guys can all get together and enjoy playing Laufeo instead then.

Well Eve's body model was back in the studio with ShiftUp a few weeks ago, so we're very likely going to see her again, at a minimum.

Why do you assume I'm playing Laufey? Why is it one extreme or the other with so many people on this board?

I played the PS4 GoW and was mostly bored by it and never bothered with Ragnarok and Laufey looks identical, so I'm not going to bother with Laufey either.

Is it so hard to understand that I like sexy heroines in my media when they look like adult women, you know, like Eve from SB1? And not children, you know, like Evie from SB2?

Children to you, 21 year old to Koreans who made the damn game.

Tell you what, get a 5090 and run DLSS 5 to age her up.

Says the guy who said she looks 13. Enjoy oggling the 13 year old resembling character.
Im only genetically Korean. I'm white on the inside since I grew up in fucking Cincinnasty Ohio (terrible place. Ask dark10X lol).

BTW, I never bought the first game, and im not sure I'll buy this. I just love the art direction and graphics. HUGE improvement from 1st game.

I knew this thread would devolve in to the sex police rounding up petite lovers in to the concentration camps. You can't argue or reason with these people so don't bother trying.

Always happens anytime someone isn't into thunder thighs and obese tits. Never change, internets.

The ghost is the shell vibe is really what grabbed me here too.

About the first game, I played it and I enjoyed it, but it was still a little too souls-ish for me. The souls aspects are what I liked the least about the game. It's still more dynamic, and there are some specific combat fights that are pretty cool and closer to an actual action game, but most of the time against regular ennemies you will just repeat the same one or two effective combos, you end up playing in a too automatic / robotic way I'd say.

Still a good game with a good atmosphere, but I hope the second game will play more like something from platinum games or so.
