It's mainly because they all have plastic eyeballs that haven't settled into their sockets properly.

Could also be the shiny, plastic skin they have.

 

[Bloodrage]

That's some atrocious character design right there.

Oh hey it's Zoolander

Ben Stiller bitch reporting for duty.

 

[Akainu]

That lady looks a lot worse in game. Every two seconds she pops up to tell you a titan is ready she looks really creepy.

MARKMAN CONFIRMED

Nice! Updated OP!

 

[Doodis]

Does every woman need to have giant breasts and exposed cleavage in these games?
SMH.

I'm fine with her body shape. It's not like we're dealing with Dead Or Alive here.

BUT—I do have a gripe:

Would militia soldiers fighting for survival really bother with all that eyeliner?

 

[Sub_Level]

Because it's literally the central piece if the game, given that it's online only. Both quantity and quality matter to keep the game fresh, and we've only seen three. It's ridiculous.

Her being content with the number of maps means absolutely nothing.

Have to disagree. Counter-Strike could have literally only had Dust2 and it would still be a fantastic game. If we rely on map packs to "keep games fresh", these modern shooters will never have a viable lifetime exceeding a mere few years. The core game itself has to be great and more importantly than map packs are patches and gameplay updates, whether they are for balancing or adding new features.

That being said, this is $60; hoping for 16. 12 and under would be ridiculous. Can't say I'm annoyed like you are though. Content to just wait until the game comes out if I have to in order to learn more.

Shoutouts to Markman.

Sure considering where she's ranked. Nothing wrong with trying to look good to keep morale up.

 

[GavinGT]

Why even bother with character art this late in development? Give us a screenshot so all the graphics debates will be settled.

Titanfall lore speculation

 

[Whompa]

That girl wants to be Alyx and Jade so bad...

 

[Slappers Only]

Tess has looked better.

Hey, for a lot of people, it is just a daily habit. Who knows how she lived her life before her world turned upside down! Give her a break!

Titanfall lore speculation

Nope.

As a child, Sarah lost several close members of her family to incidents in which the IMC displaced Frontier citizens by force. As a result, she vowed to take revenge on the IMC at every possible opportunity, refusing to rest until they have been removed from the Frontier. For most of her career, she served in Covert Operations for the Militia, before moving into the command ranks of the Militia’s Marauder Corps. Her long list of successful attacks on IMC installations landed her on the IMC’s High Value Target List, where she remains listed as one of the 50 most dangerous Militia operatives still at large.

 

[Mendoza]

I like what I see. These people almost look real.

 

[Sub_Level]

Nope.

You're still speculating as to why she has eyeliner on, tho.

We will look for clues into the vast depths of Titanfall lore upon release.

Too real. Xbone is too good for us gamers. Looks more real than real life.

Happy to see that hopelessly generic looking characters will be a continuing trend well into generation 8. I can already hear his evenly keeled American accent telling me what to do.

Not every game need to be JRPG level of ridiculous.

Haha nice. Thanks for giving me a chuckle.

 

[Messofanego]

They seem shockingly bad. I thought this was a high budget game?

Where you'd get the idea a high budget means great character design?

Look at Final Fantasy.

 

[Solid Samus]

Dude looks pretty concerned for an All-American Space Badass. Gonna need a Definitive Edition to clean that shit up

 

[tino]

I like the character designs in The Division. This Titanfall stuff does nothing for me.

 

[Doodis]

I was just joking about the eyeliner. I like her design most out of the three. But am I the only one who thought of this?

What the… Nice catch!

 

[Gorillaz]

!

She looks so....so perturbed

 

[Wishmaster92]

Titanfall Tactician class:

So much pandering. She should have her whole face covered.

WHY IS EVERYTHING COVERED??? SMH

Spoiler

LOL..oh dear.

 

[Solid Samus]

She looks so....so perturbed

staring down mechs and your only backup is Markman and the universe's grittiest IT nerd? I'd imagine you'd be too

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Bish doesnt really look like Samuel L Jackson sadly.


He looks sort of like an older blacker Vick Mackey.

 

[Ducktail]

Hideous. But then again.. it's a multiplayer FPS.

 

[Odrion]

MARKMAN CONFIRMED

Markman what are you doing in Titanfall?

 

[Gestault]

They kept his pony tail?

WHY THE HELL WOULD A ROBOT HAVE A PONY TAIL?

It doesn't want its hair falling in its eyes :3

 

[Replicant]

Those are some FUGLY character designs.

 

[Sickboy007]

I like them. Not the standard run of the mill designs.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Worst character designs ever?
Seems pretty close

I like them. Not the standard run of the mill designs.

Definitely not run of the mill or good or interesting or man anything. Looks like they used a oblivion character generator

 

[rdrr gnr]

This game's art design is just horrendous. The aesthetic is immensely displeasing; it looks like a budget title. It better not drop a fucking frame.

 

[Celcius]

I was reading the OP and I was like..."Is that Markman?"
lol

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

This game's art design is just horrendous. The aesthetic is immensely displeasing; it looks like a budget title. It better not drop a fucking frame.

It looks like if the studio behind transmorphers decided to make a game. Awful design, I definitely would leave that one off my portfolio.

Ouch!

On a side note, I finally had the curiosity to check your tag and…

 

[tensuke]

Agreed, everytime I see something new about this game I get turned off a little more. Why even include a campaign with designs like these? Just stick to other competitive gamemodes, which is what seems to excel. These characters' designs are embarrassing for a highly touted award winning AAA title.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

His head seems oddly disproportionate. Kind of disturbing.

Yeah large heads lol

 

[Sword Of Doom]

That's why this is awesome

 

[R3TRO]

Feels so far away.

 

[TheRealTalker]

That's why this is awesome

where is that from?

The Order?

Hideous. But then again.. it's a multiplayer FPS.

but some MP FPS have cool looking character models

KZ SF for example

 

[MarkMan]

Markman what are you doing in Titanfall?

lol https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/429385360783589376

 

[viveks86]

where is that from?

The Order?

Yes. And there are people calling those designs "uninspired" as well. Bizarre, I tell you.

 

[Shin-Ra]

The woman is the only one that has decent textured clothing

The quality of these images is hiding some of the high frequency detail on the clothing but a lot of the materials do have a plain photo-texture look without any extra detail layered on.

The fat guy's shoes and shirt are especially bad, reminds me of the shit in PlayStation Home. Middle guy's jeans too and he looks like he came out of Resistance or Fuse.

 

[antitrop]

Not good. They all look really weird.

 

[Contra11]

She looks like Abbie Heppe the community manager for Respawn
