Will they continue with this style, where she is in healthy shape, stylish, and attractive but not sexualized? Or will they make her unrealistically ugly, non-feminine, and just generally unlikable in the new version as is the trend with western games over the past few years?

I’d say that it depends how much they’re outsourcing to Crystal Dynamics, they can craft some mighty fine ladies. But unless they change direction it’s a first person shooter so it’s not really important, we’ll see her hands I guess.

I just want the game to be good. I want this to be a game to get the Series X for.

Regarding her appearance, I would like it if they went for a Lara Croft reboot look. More realistic and simple.

I don't really like the short hair (Karen-like), but if everything else make sense design-wise, it should be ok.

Based on what we've seen she's been turned into a Karen, unfortunately.

Never liked her with red hair....the flipped over to the side look that's trendy I'm not a fan of

Wish they would go back to the roots.

In the N64 version she had super short hair too and didn’t look particularly sexy. Then they gave her a makeover in the XBLA version:

I think they will go for a more mature look than PDZ or the XBLA version since it’s also trendy to make characters less feminine.

Rack Bauer with short hair.
Rather like every "tough" girl on TV these days.

The concept art has her in the same clothing with the obvious shorter hair.
Less work animating it....though a physics powered pony tail would be legit and still "tough"

Too bad it’s first person though. Missed opportunity for sure imo, the IP was dead anyway, could’ve restarted it as a third person game, she’s a cool character but we’ll just see a gun and hands, maybe arms when reloading 😕

Watch, she's gonna get hit with the woke bat like Lara Croft and she's gonna have a fucking butter face.

Ugly as fuck.

The right hand side picture reminds me of this:

Anything but sexy, apparently.

Otherwise journos will give bad reviews and type angry words on twitter.
Scary.

The only way to be safe is to make her features exactly like your avatar.

I hope they create a good story, great voice actress gets behind the character, because Idk who the fuck will voice her. The single player game needs to be fucking amazing. I am not confident on Crystal Dynamics. So I will wait and see on this game. I hope they are back on the Alien plot. Idk the plot on PDZ, i expect she is not a red head again, because young redhead Joanna Dark looks stupid.

I wonder if they'll do cool meta shit like with the first game having actual websites for the Carrington Institute and stuff like that...

Oh who am I kidding. I can already see the Polygon articles about how Joanna Dark is kicking men's asses and gamer chuds are angry. Zzzz.
