Of course they made her look that way with intent lol. She goes through a transformation in the story. Young Abby isn't buff, then she gets jacked, and by the end shes lost all her muscle from starvation. Its part of her arc.

Do you notice the false equivalence between 'ugly women' and 'generic male?' One merely specifies the appearance, and the other focuses on the character itself in an aggregative manner. Just admit you only bother yourself with female characters that service your boner. Better to be honest than duplicitous.

But what's not subjective is the fact that these are well-crafted, life-like and memorable character models -- and maybe that scares you.
This bitch enjoys anal sex without lube, yes this type of women scares me.
So shaving armpits are not realistic but this is? lol ok bro.

leads to fear. Fear leads to xbox.
yep, when you actually analyze the story she went through its quite tragic. She is as well as her physique is a product of Joel. If Joel didnt do what he did she would have no motivation to do what she did including getting in better shape to one day take Joel on and try to have an advantage instead of "luck" After that and she found Lev, she got new motivation to also move on and be more trusting, in the end it cost her almost everything she worked hard for, at least Ellie came to her senses eventually.

I'm totally okay with this. I miss fantasy games, and a bit tired of all the realistic or post-apocalyptical Sony games at this point. So if this is a bit more linear / fantasy epic game im all ok for that.

Looks interesting though slightly disappointing it's not Sci Fi.
Seems like they'd be moving away from shooting, at least partially (could still have bows and ranged magic), which could be interesting.
Hard to get excited though if it's another Druckmann game. Hopefully the Lost legacy team gets the lead on this.

You use the phrase 'real life'then immediately start talking about trashy Hollywood movies and TV shows. Maybe the people making the game want the character to look like real people rather than vapid airbrushed generic movie stars.
I take it you've never played Dungeons & Dragons.
In any case, looks more interesting than anything else they've done. I'm in, as long as they do cool gameplay for once.

No I dont notice it lol and I couldnt give a fuck either about your opinion. Stop trying to be a smart ass and acting like calling a video game character ugly is like calling A real person ugly.
Lol you dont know me, sorry video game characters dont turn me. Like I said Im just tired of the forced narrative of female badasses that have to look like rugged tough butch women/men.... Alloy, Ellie, there all cool, I wouldnt say there attractive and it doesnt matter.
But when your studio Is constantly designing butch women and coming out and saying traditional women in video games are wrong I think its a bit boring, untrue and forceful.
Plus Ill buy this game either way, its just Same same character design

Where are these “ugly badass” women lead games though and how many of them are there? There aren’t that many women lead games to begin with so I’m not sure how it’s becoming boring, I think it’s ridiculous and frankly tiresome to see people up in arms whenever a game has a woman lead that’s not eye candy.
And this should be the end of it really, a game’s quality isn’t tied to the looks of the main character after all.

Its not about being eye candy. Its about making them look musclebound and samey. I wouldn’t call Ellie eye candy and she was great, I wouldnt call Alloy or Jesse Faden or the lady from Returnal eye candy either, all seem cool.
Its like I was Tired of characters looking like Marcus Fenix from Gears of war... it was getting boring as shit.
Its an opinion about the looks of the characters, its a forum. We’re allowed to like and dislike the look.
With Neil’s obsession with Anita’s way of thinking, you can tell what ND prefers to do, its no secret and its a bit lame and boring now.
Agreed, its not tied. Like I said I will buy anyway and probably love it.
Its like movies, I cant be arsed to watch them if the main character acts like Jason Shatham or “baddass” its really samey and repetitive to me.
Plus all I said at the start was lets not have loads of these type of characters in the game. Not I cant stand one and Im not buying It.
Overall it looks cool, all 3 of them.

Wow, that is a pretty hateful statement directed towards two women who work hard at their craft. Very disappointing to hear something like that from you.
I was talking about real life movie stars, that's why I said Real Life. Cuz you know, they exist, are nice to look at, and are allowed to lead movies!
Limiting video game characters to what a Midwesterner sees at the mall is boring. Now if you start talking about a college town Target I might be down. I live in a massive University town and our local targets are fucking cram packed with 8-10s like you wouldn't believe. Them target girls are just as hot as those vapid movie stars you hate so much as well!
Weird how that happens right? You know how, "Normal" women, who are not fat, are way better looking that Naughty Dog trolls. Its almost like Naughty Dog has an agenda...
The average woman is attractive btw.

Even the SJWPost has this up. Seeing that the average for every race is a 8 or 9 kinda destroys the narrative that "Real Women" are ugly like ND seems to think.

It's nice enough clearly the work of a talented artist but it's pretty much like 99% of the fantasy art concepts you would find on Artstation or Concept art.org.
I'm of the opinion that concept artists need to neck more LSD, let's get some originality!
The problem with a lot of concept artists working in the videogames field is that they are all singing from the same song sheet, watching the same speed painting tutorials when starting out, playing the same games and watching the same films. It's become really boring.

Because I like attractive women I have a problem? LOL, you know how I deal with this horrible debilitating problem I have? I don't buy games with bullshit I don't like in them.
I don't sugar coat it either, cuz I don't care what you think about me. I prefer leads in the media I consume to be attractive. If they aren't I usually lose interest unless is something with an incredible story.
I am glad I have this affliction though, because it lead me my awesome and beautiful wife. Maybe I should have settled for less sooner?
Nah.... but fuck me for liking pretty people right?

I mean, it depends on the setting. In a realistic setting like TLOU, having your female characters modelled like 2B or Lara Croft is just downright incongruous. It only works in fantastical settings. And why do 'butch' women irritate you so? We've had decades of slim, attractive females, and now that we have a couple of games that break the mold you consider this a concoction of a 'narrative?' What if it's just the way the developers wanted to craft the character, irrespective of the political climate? What about the narrative that female badasses can only be roguish, femme fatale, skintight spandex-clad supermodels? What gives your 'narrative' precedence over the one you're fighting against?
This speaks nothing about my own preferences. I really do like having attractive females in my games as I am a hot-blooded male, but I'm merely testing your argumentation.
Nobody gives a fuck who you like.
Who/What you like is not important, not a standard, so not a reason to denigrate something different according to questionable personal tastes.
What's the point to hijack threads 1000 times to let everybody know how much some people hate games without sexy girls?

It's not"just the way", people are pushed in that direction, now they could also agree with it, and whoever is the art director decides what is in and out of the game...
On the other hand Japanese developers definitely get censored.
Anyway, I don't see why they didn't show her panties, even a little bit, it would have been nice

I really haven’t thought about it too much. TBH the designs looks cool all I said was I hope its not full of butch women because thats the direction ND seems to have been going. Just like I get bored with loads of male characters looking and acting the same, from main Final Fantasy characters, people trying to rip off Drake from Uncharted or Gears having everyone built like Marcus Fenix etc

Awesome designs. This is a game I want to know more about. At the same time, I can't help but feel like they are trying to shove "woke" down my throat. Now, you could make the argument that I only feel this way, because I'm so used to having straight, white, male protagonists, but I'm not sure it's that simple.
Either way, I think they're a great studio and it is certainly exciting to catch a glimpse of what may be their next game. Thanks for posting.

The average woman is attractive based on your own opinions. And just because you don't consider Abby attractive doesn't mean other people don't. What one man considers a 10/10, another may judge them a 7. I personally don't consider Abby's face particularly unattractive or attractive. I'm more in the middle. I'm with you on the fact that realistic women in videogames don't have to be 'ugly' and whatnot - that's just an absurd notion - but they don't have to be insanely hot supermodels like Lara Croft to be worth a damn. What's the point in gatekeeping female characters based on their sexual appeal? Can't you judge them on a narrative note first and then by any extraneous details later? Niko from GTA 4 ain't that handsome but I don't recall anyone giving a damn.Wow, that is a pretty hateful statement directed towards two women who work hard at their craft.

And your anecdotal samples might look attractive to you, sure, but do they suffer trauma and extreme ongoing stress? Because that can weather a person's looks. Are their bodies fit for climbing and general athleticism? I wager not - they probably field a diet of milkshakes and pastries. Do they live in a post-apocalyptic world surrounded by para-militants who give more of a fuck about surviving than looking good? What about access to good makeup and fashionable clothes?
Yes, your local Target lass may look fetching now, but give her a year in TLOU's world, and you might think differently.
