Also note the fact that she is he only one who actually looks beaten up, with her clothes ripped (On an island that probably has some undamaged clothes laying around). And she's wearing high heels in a situation where she needs to constantly be on the move.
Her appearance isn't very subtle, and her voice seems pretty annoying in the videos I've seen. Still, at least the other characters seem okay at this point.
I'm honestly surprised how crisp and detailed the game looks from the latest footage. I'm no graphics whore, but stunning visuals are always a plus in my book.
The only thing that looks odd to me is the toothpick-thin legs the player has when kicking, and how some viewmodels look wonky.

The chrome engine has always had nice environments. It's everything else that's kind of a pain in them.
I'm sorry but this looks awful. It could have been so good but it looks like Dead Rising in FPS form.

That's what it kind of is. They're not even trying to hide it.
Kinda annoyed that America gets this game a month early :/ ah well, atleast I can see the reviews before I pre-order it. Can't wait for the 4 player co-op so long as it works well, unlike Black Ops *Shudder*
[QUOTE=Charlievrw;31350231]Oh god the characters look atrocious. You got the slutty girl and a generic rapper. Logan seems nice though, not to happy about the others though as it might ruin the immersion of co-op for me if they keep saying really retarded stuff, I can just imagine what the rapper says every time he kills someone.[/QUOTE]
It seems you only like the white guy
[QUOTE=ElGrego;31352603]It seems you only like the white guy[/QUOTE]
I do, but not because he is white. Do you honestly think a hotel worker in high heels and a rapper who continues to wear his "bling" would be the survivors of a zombie apocalypse?
Indeed.
High heels and baggy clothes are two styles that lead to really clumsy movement.
With high heels it would take one wrong move and said persons ankle would get twisted.
With baggy clothes and pants sagging to the knees, running is really awkward in saggin pants and the baggyness makes one really easy to get grabbed by zombies.

Baggy clothes is subject to air/wind resistance, so you can't really run that fast. Not to mention that dumb jacket thing he has on. It's like 80-90 degrees outside and your jacket thing is halfway open, but you're going to keep it on? Your funeral.
Also, lol, didn't notice the high heels on the lady. And what looks like a skirt that would limit mobility some, but still viable. But then again, it's a game. Logic and games is like the universe. It makes no sense.
tbh the characters and dialogue seem pretty bad, only getting this because the gameplay looks incredible.

Still, the lack of logic in the outfits of the characters (Well, Xian, anyways) just makes me feel like the game is trying too hard to pander to adolescence, which isn't a good thing when I'm supposed to care for the characters to begin with.
I find it hard to even ironically like a female character when her main purpose is just being a pair of tits instead of an actual character.

also, yeah, the dialogue is pretty bad. It seems to mostly consist of terrible one-liners. Still, that certainly won't stop me from loving the game.

it's not just the one liners, it's the fact that they keep repeating them over and over :v:

Are you stupid? She didn't dress FOR the zombie apocalypse, she dressed for a tropical vacation so it seems realistic enough.
I'm tired of people complaining about games that have female characters that don't look like lesbians. I swear FP finds the most stupid things to bitch about.

It's hard to run around like that, and she could also find new shoes. It's just not realistic

And she never bothered to change into different clothing. I'm pretty sure there would be places to get different clothing around a large tropical island. At least put on something other than high heels.
We're not complaining that she doesn't look like a lesbian, we're complaining that her appearance isn't entirely subtle, which sort of takes away from the character. That, and the terrible dialogue.
Most of us will still probably get it, but it's still annoying that the characters don't seem very likeable.
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;31354269]It's hard to run around like that, and she could also find new shoes. It's just not realistic[/QUOTE]
She could move around a lot easier with no shoes in just underwear but FP would complain even harder about that
Don't you people realize how idiotic you sound complaining about a game because one of the characters is wearing certain shoes? It's even in first person for christ's sake
I can agree about the annoying dialogue though

We're nitpicking because there's both nothing else to really talk about at the moment, and the fact that her appearance in general seems almost stereotypical.

If this were based off real life maybe, but it's a game, and they are just characters. Having a game with all the characters alike would make the game bland.
Better pic of Purna

Like it? Hate it?
Ew.
Looks worse than Rochelle from L4D2
if thats a playable character they just announced, cool

How come everyone always hates the black women in zombie games?

Oh grow the fuck up, you guys are god damn ridiculous.
If you worry about realism in video games, especially a game about dead people coming back to life, then you seriously need to get your priorities straight.
[QUOTE=BloodFox1222;31392074]How come everyone always hates the black women in zombie games?[/QUOTE]
Generally white males tend to find black females less attractive from what I've seen.
But maybe that's not it since everyone also complains when they add an attractive character.
If she doesn't crack shitty jokes, then I'll be fine. Hell, might even play as her, who knows.
Also, I'd like to hear about these other black women that everyone supposedly hates in zombie games other than Left 4 Dead 2.
