Front and center in a Sony showcase among the likes of God of War, Star Wars and Spider-Man no less. What message does this send to women who are into (or thinking about getting into) games?

Project Eve first trailer (PS5/PC)
- Thread starter Rosebud
- Start date
The animation seems worth highlighting, what with these weird squiddy flesh machine monsters of all shapes and sizes having detailed and believable movement. And it looks proficient in its character action ambitions, which is something I rarely have an interest in. And while the enemy designs are kind of distinct, fighting lumpy flesh monsters is not something I find appealing. I wouldn't be interested in this even if it wasn't for the tacky, trite and embarrassing player character design and camera focus. This game is quite offputting overall.
Man, red barrels. They've probably stuck around in games, just they look different to disguise their red barrel-ness, but those are just some gosh darn straight up red barrels. Feels like I haven't seen those since Half-Life 2.

For me the highlight of the trailer was the mechsuit girl at the end. With the skull helmet. Really neat. The monsters shown were maybe a bit on the dull side, but they looked fun enough to hack to bits. The saw mouth stuff was kinda gnarly.
that as long as there are people on forums going "i like ass" we will show it! Like I do not know how this passed muster to show next to Tachia.
The difference is so stark that when they posted the Rogue picture I didn't understand their point....at all.
Dismissing concerns over sexualised designs and depictions of women protagonists with "if you don't like it, you don't like it," seems far more reductive.
Imagine comparing Rogue to this character who you can literally see the contour lines of her vulva in her suit.
Come on.
cool scene but with no chest armor I don't see why she will defend her biggest hit box.
That not all games are like this and they don't have to buy this one if they're turned off by the character design? We have games like Bayonetta and Nier that mostly only got popular due to their protagonist designs and are a lot worse than this, and yet they're endlessly PRAISED on this forum. I want someone to finally explain that to me.
What's Sony supposed to do? Force them to change their design so that then everybody can whine about how Sony is censoring video games and creative vision? Sony loves action games and wanted to show this. That is all. Imagine attacking Sony over this when it's not even their game. I hope Sony keeps showing it any chance they get because the game itself looks great.

I couldn't roll my eyes hard enough when I saw the character and the leering camera gaze.
No kidding.
No kidding.
I didn't initially, but since you said it....wow.
This doesn't have a release date but I did really like all the gameplay I saw. Hopefully the game itself is good whenever it finally drops.
I honestly didn't expect it out of Sony. Yea, yea big corporations and all that, but did no one at Sony look at this trailer?
It goes again so much of the design sensibilities in their very own games.
I didn't think the character sexualization was that gratuitous? Nier has significantly more sexualized characters and those games get nothing but praise here. I had to watch the trailer again just to pick out the complaints. The monster designs and combat are what initially stood out to me 🤷🏻♂️
Edit: Upon re-watching I definitely see the issues others have here. The character design can definitely be improved, especially the latex suit.

I'm all for coomers coomin, but it definitely felt weird having this front row in a PS showcase.
Pretty sure they're coming from the butts and not the gameplay.
Official Staff Communication
This thread is now re-opened to further discussion. We've noticed many posts making light of the blatant sexist design decisions in the game. This kind of talk is insulting to our women posters and fosters an unwelcoming environment all around. Any further posts dismissing the sexism in the game will be met with strict moderation.
for 1 second my brain have read this thread as parasite eve first trailer, and my heart skipped a bit
This was my reaction as well. It made me uncomfortable from the get-go, and then just felt embarrassed that Sony would give that trailer a platform.
they talked about saving humanity and i thought it was something Nier related. That music too.

Thanks!
Asked for a title change
I could do without the bastardized Bayonetta-esque sexy design of the main protagonist (that the camera enjoys leering at) but otherwise I thought this looked solid. Would like to see more.
Nier gets shit about its sexualized character designs. You can just google Nier Sexualized Resetera to find threads and posts.
Can you find confirmation of other platform releases? I'm looking online and not finding anything other than PS5. It looks like it was originally announced for other consoles, but unsure if that's changed or not since all the new wording is PS5 / PC
Im really glad the human characters shown so far look Asian and not that anime white person look.
Wacky enemy design and shiny butt aside, this looks promising but very generic. The combat lacks a distinct flair. But there's no real action tradition outside of RPGs and MMOs in Asian game dev outside of Japan, so devs gotta start somewhere.
I can tell you right now that this doesn't play like either of those. This is closer to Souls and God of War 2018 in style.

The original reveal trailer literally had EVE come down in a drop pod, narrating how she and others are being sent to take the Earth back.
Sexy female android wielding a sword sent to Earth to defeat the monsters that have overrun it, and reclaim it for humanity. There's a pretty clear inspiration here.
Not that I think it's a bad thing. I still wanna see more of AI Limit, too, which is a Nier-like from Sony's China Hero Project.

Yeah I searched yesterday and could only find this from 9 months ago:
Project Eve Japanese Press Release Hints At Xbox One, PS5 Release, More Beautiful Screenshots Revealed
The new screenshots for Project Eve show its beautiful yet devastated world, and how protagonist Eve can change outfits.

So it's likely that Sony bought it, but not sure.
