Sucker Punch, can you get rid of Delsin's stupid hat-beanie... thing?

I'm more worried about his name sounding like a damn daytime cough suppressant.

Or at least give us the option to not wear it? Cause it looks dumb. Show us some next-gen hair tech.
No, because i like it.

We've discussed this before - and our results was:
This... needs to be DLC. I will pay whatever money you want for it, SP.

This is what happens when you let a vocal minority impact your development decisions.
Do whatever you want Sucker Punch, new Cole looked better than old Cole and Delsin looks better than either of them.

I think Delsin's look is pretty generic, myself. Generic douche like you see every day IRL.

Oh my god, I'm dying.
people who complain about this is beyond me
maybe the main character is supposed to be an annoying twat to begin the game, because of something called character growth. Plus it's not like they're taking a well established character and turning it into that, it's a brand new character being presented. Plus, it's not like it's something that someone wouldn't wear today or in the future.
People who complain about this shit deserve bald space marines in every game. Let the artists do their job, and sit back and judge whether the character is good or not after the game is done.

The funny thing is he's part Native American. I really dig the strange background and design of Delsin. Feels very natural and organic. He doesn't have to be super cool armor or perfect hair dude. He can be grimy, biracial, young adult guy.

Sucker punch should be able to do with its characters whatever the fuck it wants. The whole Cole redesign reversal with I2 really bothered me - whiny players deciding a developers design decisions.

You must be an annoying douche/hipster then.

After what happened with Infamous 2, I will never complain to Suckerpunch about their character designs ever again. We could have gotten a mildly annoying looking character, but after we bitched about it we ended up with a guy that looked like some kind of bloated foetus, or a clone that wasn't quite finished developing yet.
If they do get rid of the guy's beanie, they'll probably replace it with a top hat, or a rainbow wig.

Didn't he get blown up at the beginning of the first game? I'd be bald and pretty pissed off too.
I'd be mad at first but when I found out I had super powers id be so happy
How do you wear a beanie in a non literal way?

Oh, you know what, this is good.
So at the beginning, Delsin's a total dick, right? But as he grows in character, he comes to terms with his selfishness and character flaws and begins to believe in a higher ideal. He believes that he must become the hero that this city deserves. There's an uber-dramatic scene where he stands on a skyscraper and sees a burning city, a city in chaos that needs a champion to save it... and he takes off his beanie and tosses it away before jumping into the fray to be the hero he was always destined to be. It's an important life-changing moment. The hat represents his selfishness and adolescence, his narcissistic rebellion. But when it comes time to for the true hero to be revealed, he no longer cares about the way he looks, but the way he acts.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, I got it, Sucker Punch. You sly dogs. You did this shit on purpose. Oh yeah. Yeah, I see where this is going.
You know what, keep that hat. I get where you guys are going with this. Clever.

I actually like the beanie. He's dressed as a regular dude so I don't really find a fault with his style.

I know. That was the entire point of my post, and the subject of my conversation with the other posters, Crafty and Kade.

"douchey" is the most nebulous of terms. Borderline meaningless.
OP will bring about the resurgence of generic player avatars. Thanks OP.

So do you wear a beanie everyday or not?
Dictionaries have unfortunately made the word "literally" meaningless.

TBH, I just hate these hats with a passion. I've hated them since I was a little kid (I'm 38) and they had little puff balls on top. This isn't some recent development for me. Won't stop me from playing the game but it will annoy me throughout.

Nothing called a "beanie" will ever look cool or make someone look cool.
This is why 90% of video game protagonists are just bland and shitty characters. Developers are so afraid to make a protagonist that could in any way offend or disrupt the fantasy of inhibiting a perfect character, that they deliberately make every character some amalgamation of "cool, perfect, and likeable action hero", or "anti hero badass" in order to fulfill some player fantasy. No where is this more telling than the reception to Connor in AC3. Here we have a character who actually feels like a human; has flaws, is naive, brash at times, etc. But because he's not as "likable" as Ezio people hate him and say he's a bad character, when he's actually one of the more nuanced and interesting protagonists I've played in a game.
Just imagine if Michael Corleone was a video game protagonist. "Like wtf, why is this douche so unlikable. He gets angry and hits his wife, what a dick." I'm usually open minded about people's opinions on video games, but some seriously need to grow up when it comes to evaluating video game protagonists. I've grown so tired of hearing the words "likable" and "unlikable" as some end all metric when evaluating a protagonist.
