God of War: Laufey Announced

Why did they mo-cap Jack Quiad if they're just making him a cube in-game?

1. Sword in the Blue Raspberry JELLO is lmao

2. Faye is ugly

3. Would it kill them to call it Goddess of War?

4. I get the feeling they are going to double down on the awful gear system that 2018 and Ragnarok is known for.
 
Wait.

Wait.

The cube is mocapped?

How?

WHY?
At first I thought: "well, maybe they're just having him join the mo-cap sessions so they can do spatial audio recordings" but then realized he's not mic'd.

Only thing I can think of is it's gotta be some sort of humiliation ritual.
 
Debbie is very attractive, but the in-game character is not so much. It's like they uglied her down or something? 🤔
A woman fighting in the mud with mythological beings.

Normally, in mythological legends, the girl washes her hair thoroughly with a good shampoo and, of course, wears makeup.

It makes no sense.
 
My blood is boiling, I'm literally spitting blood right now, I'm so mad. They're trying to replace Kratos, a gaming icon with this hideous dumb broad, honestly makes feel sick, screw you Barlog!!!!!!! boycotting this garbage
It's a damn spin off title, they aren't replacing Kratos ffs

Edit: ok, not a spin off, they still ain't replacing Kratos though, this is just furthering the story

They are trying to replace Kratos so bad that Ragnarok left the doors open for more games and they are literally remaking the original trilogy.

It's because the cube is a placeholder for the amazing Greek mythology creature they're gonna replace it with, SM forgot and left the placeholder in the trailer. Get serious man, you really thought they're gonna use a purple cube as a sidekick? Absolutely ridiculous

You said it in ur post. Mythological Legends. She could look as glamorous as they wanted her to look, shes a fucking goddess, yet they made her look like your wallmart karen.
 
I see the usual "OMG the actress in this game is so hot you guys are crazy" arguments that (once again) fail to recognize that the devs removed every feature that makes these women attractive and feminine

Nah, I've seen her in an interview sans makeup, it's accurate and she's still pretty. She doesn't have makeup on, nerd

Remember what we were discussing in the other thread?

I'm pretty sure the only reason for the GOW trilogy remake, besides switch and bait, is to insert Faye and delete the old games from the canon.

Sony copying from the Disney's notebook.
But wouldn't that delete the last 2 games from canon as well? What is Kratos so sad and ashamed about if he did none of those things? He literally grunted and moped around for 2 long ass games.

I really hope they don't butcher the remakes like that. But this bait and switch with Faye is already making me anxious that you might end up being right. Lol

My Predictions:

- Cube transforms into humanoid form some way through the game
- There are other talking weapons
- Shared mythology in this Afterlife of the Gods setting (I don't like this. Kinda ruins the stakes. Surely this means Baldur, Odin et al can all potentially turn up, and/or definitely have their own shot to try to find a way home?)
- Laufay will have some kind of mount (giant beast?) or more than one
- Spiritual Kratos will continuously pop up at various points to be her guide (reverse of her in his tale)
- This game will divide the audience, be hella fun but ultimately sell less than the previous entry
 
So fuckin sad man. Cory obviously doesn't give a shit anymore. Dreams about retirement probably.
Dude, wake the fuck up. How can somebody who directed GOW 2 possibly approve of this turd?

Position within the scene, and it's good to use the voice actors if their voice is being recorded as that again can be positioned correctly and also better for the actors to speak to each other on set which is more natural than just using sound booths. It's standard practice these days for Sony's mocap at least
 
I'm really surprised it's after her death. I was expecting it to be a prequel of some sort.

It looks pretty cool. God of War x Heavenly Sword (red hair, sword, athletic style combat). And gorgeous (the actress and the graphics).

What I'm not surprised by is all the comments about "wOkE" in this thread. This forum is plagued by the woke derangement syndrome. It's pretty pathetic and sad, in that order.

Thanks for the explanation!

Seems like an awfully expensive ways or doing things, but I guess that's the modern developer's way.

I'm not talking about makeup vs no makeup. I'm talking about giving her in-game character model more masculine traits like broadening her shoulders, removing her breasts, and giving her a more pronounced jawline. In addition, they put her in clothing and outfits that amorphise and hide what feminine features would be left - no pronounced hip bones, no ass, no cleavage.

And don't mix this up as one of those "women in games should be designed for the male gaze" arguments. I'm just saying women literally need to be designed to look like women and not androgynous non-male humanoids.
