Stellar Blade devs on why the protagonist is sexy: "That's what players want most of the time"

Yeah
Next will be the countdown to the review embargo.
There will be a thread dedicated to predicting the Metacritic score…
Then finally, the review thread
I for one gives zero fuck about the actual score, I play the game and judge it myself and I buy physical copy so worse case scenario if I hated the game I can just return the game or sell my copy back.
 

All the woketard journalists and haters would be calling for their firing for promoting OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN more than likely. Nice to see this dev has the guts to say what so many are thinking. The only way to fight these morons is to ignore them and keep promoting the things they hate like beautiful girls in video games. Sooner or later they will piss off into the shadows of irrelevance like most people or movements that are ignored.

So would the critics - by ascribing needs, rights and desires to what is effectively a C++ class mean that they are treating objects like women? :pie_thinking:

I get it. Shes hot. And I like the honesty.

But to me its fucking stupid.

I cant take your game seriously when some 5'2 hot as fuck girl in heels and a mini skirt is beating up giant alien monsters. Takes me right out of it. And makes the game seem dumb.

Its why I cant get into the whole anime action style games. Way too much of that corny shit.

One of these games takes itself seriously, and I can take it seriously. The other wants you to get horny while playing. If thats the goal, bravo - Not for me. I find it corny. Thats all
To me, these are some of the worst takes on this game and entertainment as a whole. If you think about it, 99% of games and movies can't be "taken seriously" because real humans in these situations wouldn't last a fucking minute, nor would things ever play out the way they do. Did you hem and haw about Rey in Star Wars lifting boulders with the force? UNREALISTIC, can't take it seriously! Zombies in TLoU? UNREALISTIC, can't take it seriously! Captain Marvel flying through space without dying? UNREALISTC! Can't take it seriously. If you forced entertainment to only depict realistic scenarios it wouldn't even BE entertainment anymore.

Just because you don't like designs catered to people that like sexy characters, it doesn't make it any less realistic than any of the other shit that you probably do like, so get off your high horse about it.

“When it comes to the design, we put special attention on the back of the character because the player is always facing the back of the character when they’re playing,” Kim said. “That’s what they see the most of, so we thought this was pretty important.”

Kim added that when looking at a character in a game, he wants to play as someone who is “better-looking” than himself.

“That’s what I want,” he said. “I don’t want to see something normal; I want to see something more ideal. I think that is very important in a form of entertainment.”

“This is, after all, entertainment targeted for adults.”

This is the more important quote, in my opinion. Idealism and entertainment have gone hand in hand ever since ancient god myths. People keep conflating realism with good entertainment when most times it's exactly the opposite. If realism was entertaining I'd be having a hell of a lot better time mowing the grass and doing my taxes and other mundane shit that we have to do.

Also, it's fine to like or not like Eve based on her design, but boy am I sick of other people dictating to me what I am allowed to not allowed to like without being guilted or shamed about it.
 
Those delusional fuckers are just fucking pathetic. Whenever they see gorgeous attractive characters, oh that must be misogynist objectifying women, object your ass. Go fucking checking the model's own social account, she just loves to show her best side and it is a fuck load of eye candies.

I am so fucking ecstatic those pathetic fuckers have no power whatsoever on what those Asian developers want to do and all they can is to meltdown all the time.

But you won't find women like that in real life!

*realizes that is real life*

As much as I like what he's saying and how it seems like every day, he's clapping back at the haters who have a problem with Eve's design... I kinda want him to stop. lol

I mean, I want this game to come out. I don't want activists and people getting offended to the point that they force Sony to do something about it. Between now and release, it should just be complete silence from the developer and let the as... I mean game do the talking.

A lot can happen between now and April. I'm hopeful nothing bad is going to happen, but you never know.

I kind of agree with you, I hate all conversation about this game all become about all controversies.

Why not both? :messenger_medmask:
You know he is the most handsome of them all, plus he's good with kids.
You better believe some lucky gal would have put her hands on him already if he did not vow chastity.



You are goddam right (i just took upon myself to change your exemple for more dramatic effect).

Then fuck off and play something else?
obvi they are two different things. as a man of culture i can appreciate both.
All I see is a ghost
and possibly underage? (I have no idea who that is.)
Why not both? Violence is allowed, why should in your face sexy not be? It's already for adults or late teens or whatever rating it gets. Desiring the other sex, or same sex, is a much more positive thing than resorting to battles for any conflict.

We seriously need to get back to times where Tom Cruise dancing without pants, or playing volleyball with his sweating colleagues in a fucking fighter jet movie can be enjoyed by women, while men can look on the current Phoebe Cates coming out of a pool or Jennifer Connelly riding a horsey with suggestive themes around. Not every 80s thing was great, but it appears that America had only a very brief period where they were not weirdly uptight and lately some loud voices trying very hard to asexualise the entire society, which is just insane and practically suicidal for mankind as a whole.
The dedication to your forum character is actually stunning sometimes. Like Jared Leto pissing in envelopes and handing them to people to method act for the Joker or some shit.

No thanks,keep her...

We have to atop being afraid of the cancel mob. That fear is what gives them the power to do what they want.

Ok, i need to be real for a moment.

As much as i like seeing devs pushing back against these dumb cultural trends... i still can't help but think this game looks mid. As in, Code Vein or Scarlet Nexus levels of mid.

Still, nice to see South Korean games making into mainstream more frequently, even last year we had Lies of P and Witchspring R.

The director of upcoming action RPG Stellar Blade says that one of the game's most distinctive marketing beats exists because of the "special attention" put into the reverse side of the lead character's model.

Speaking to GamesRadar+, game director Hyung-Tae Kim (via translator) discussed the character design of protagonist Eve. That design, built around the body scan of Korean model Shin Jae-eun, has been a focus of Stellar Blade's early trailers, and while we now know much more about Eve, Kim suggests that that's deliberate.


"When it comes to the design, we put special attention on the back of the character because the player is always facing the back of the character when they're playing," he said. "That's what they see the most of, so we thought this was pretty important.

Well said, seriously, a realistically represented Arnold Schwarzenegger type character would be as helpless as a girl in high heels and a mini-skirt fighting giant alien monsters. Both would be a bloody pulp in seconds. Neither would be realistic, which was never the point anyway.
Besides, I believe EVE is not even human, she's either a robot or cyborg. That should be enough to get you past your suspension of disbelief.

Funny about this in original Last of Us in winter chapter Ellie ( a little girl) takes out group highly armed people which are bigger and stronger than Ellie with no problem......(that shit impossible even wth grown ass man)

but apparently thats "realistic" and you should take it seriously..../s

He was strangely missing from this weeks DF podcast where they discussed Stellar Blade lol. However Rich, Jon and Oliver all thought it looked great and were full of praise. They're good people. I think they just solely want to talk about the tech and the wider industry and are uncomfortable with the culture war element.

It's hard when apolitical is viewed as political by certain flavors of character out there. Primarily the loud ones.

I agree. But, I see it as a double-edged sword. On one hand, the honesty of the developer is awesome, but on the other, it is exactly what they'll use against the game.

And, we see it all the time. Companies bending the knee to the woke mob. And, if enough people make a fuzz about how the game releasing makes them feel "unsafe" (lol), I could see Sony doing something about it.

I think it may be a bit too late for Sony to do anything, especially since the release date is so soon, but I still don't feel 100% sure. I want to believe more and more people are opposing this woke bs, and we're definitely seeing that, but I can't help but be a little pessimistic still.

Thing is, i've been learning recently is that these devs that bend the knee aren't afraid of twitter mobs as much as they're afraid of their own HR department. The one led by Christina, with pink hair and 300 pounds to her name.
