i still think claire and leon look so fucking weird. the game itself looks great but jesus what did they do to their faces? why do capcom insist on scanning (and still fucking up) real people instead of just handcrafting a face that looks remotely similar to previous incarnations of said characters?
Resident Evil hasn’t had fixed angles since 4 get over it.
...Is there a mandate somewhere in the design bible stating that Claire Redfield has to not look like Claire Redfield, or what? From the word go the Claire model has struck me more a faithful recreation of Zoey from Left 4 Dead than the character it's supposed to be, while Leon looks just fine. He didn't even fall into the obvious trap of making him too similar to RE4-onwards Leon, where he was essentially reimagined as an action movie prettyboy. Then we get the retro costumes here -- designed as a bone to throw at crotchety old sticks in the mud who hate change like me -- and Leon's outfit is perfect. Claire, though? https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/235561/daea1b38-a0ab-4ff9-b81e-65c437b74eda/Claire-Redfield-skinsuit.jpg Just a cursory look between this and the video thumbnail should have at least one thing all but jumping off the screen at you. And I know it isn't just my nitpicky ass this time either, this is the first time I have ever seen a Youtube comment section in agreement to add clothing onto a character.
