What's your opinion on Jill's new design?
- Thread starter The Last One
- Start date
are people honestly saying this design looks like anime titty bait?
a little stylized maybe, but other than that she doesn't look sexualized at all while still not just looking boring as the new jill
This. I like the new Design, even if it could be a tad more interesting, but the REmake Jill is still my favorite. I also dontreally get the Anime/Waifu-criticism at least towards REmake. RE3 Outfit and especially 5 are on a different level though.
So it's okay for people on this forum to judge a woman on their looks? She can wear whatever she wants, and she's probably not sorry that she doesn't please you.
I wonder what you can do with her bottom half other thrn Jean's.
The blue tank top and white undershirt is probably the best you can do to keep the feel of the old design in 2020. But obviously a miniskirt would be real dumb now. But Jean's and tank top combo just make her look like every other female protagonist this generation.
It's a hard one. Maybe if she still had a shirt around her waist that could work to give it a little extra something?

I always felt like Jill's classic outfit was the worst, by far, of all the main RE characters, so I never managed to take her seriously. Them replacing that with something more sensible was way up there on my wishlist for this remake. It almost doesn't matter what they changed it to (though I like it), only that they changed it.
From the leaked boxart i was totally in, looking at the trailer it looks so baaaaaaad.
Not that modern-old Jill looked good, i think the last time she looked good was REmake on GC and even then... meh.

Yes. Absolutely. Looks like she's having a bad hair day.
Which I guess on a meta level makes sense considering the apocalypse at hand.
I like it a lot design wise. Facial stuff seems inconsistent to me sometimes but so did Claire's at first so I'm not worried.
The new costume does nothing to protect her arms, shoulders, neck, so it no better than the tube top and holster.
Except it looks like something a human woman actually wears...
People are discussing the design of a videogame character, who happens to be female. Not "judging a woman on her looks".
Eh, imagine some of these comments being targeted towards a real person, "oh they look boring in that outfit" "I prefer her when she had the miniskirt on" "her face looks wrong" etc. It's kinda gross imo, and I just don't think someone being fictional suddenly justifies it. But I just won't look in this topic again and that should fix it.
Tank top action girl is design run into the ground. Movies have been doing it for decades and now the design has infected games as they chase 'realism' more and more and give up stylised designs.

Cargo pants and a tight tank top = the uniform of a sexy badass.
Even found an article from 2000 commenting on the overuse, especially white ones (omg they not all white tops now, innovation isn't dead!)
It's just.... Boring.
I wish she had her white jacked around her waist, since it would lighten up the dark blue top - black jeans combo and make her design a little less boring. The main problem with her new design is that it doesn't stand out in any way.
Old design (STARS uniform, BSAA uniform, RE3 tube top and miniskirt) were recognizable even if the character was drawn in different art styles, or were just a bunch of pixels. This one doesn't look so distinctive.

Except we are discussing a video game character design, not real person's clothing preferences.
You know that there are people who specialize in criticizing people's way of dressing and advicing people what they should wear to look their best? There are also plenty of tv shows about that.
A human woman wouldn't wear a tube top or a tank top in a zombie apocalypse. They're both bad.
Like how can you criticize the tube while at the same time praise the tank top.
I loved the original design but it was a product of its time. I 100% expect them to change it to a more practical clothing but they kinda forgot about the upper body.
They left her waist jacket. Her boots aren't brown. Like it's pretty hard to identify it as Jill.
I wouldn't imagine those comments made against a real person because they are not being made against a real person. I can separate fact and fiction pretty easy. Things I do/think in games are not what I do/think in the real world. A real person has real feelings to consider, at worst the real person to consider here are the artists, who should expect criticism. I say this thinking the old design is trash, and the new is boring.
They could try anything but a tank top and be infinitely more original than this.
Many things that in games are terrible if you imagine them to happen to real people. If we can justify killing people in games I'm sure we can justify criticizing designs of people in games.
Yes, i'm honest :D
The new design got small eyes that are far apart, which looks masculine to me.
Jill wasn't expecting a zombie apocalypse. She was laying low and investigating Umbrella. The original design conveys none of that premise.
Maybe you gave an incredibly skewed and limited view of femininity.
Just what is it with these comments, lol
Clearly this must be an alien
I think it's so funny that we are heading into the third RE game using Capcom's new engine and people still can't grasp that everyone is being modeled after different people and may not look like their past counterparts. The fact people were expecting Voth to reprise her role was even funnier given Chris, Ada, Claire, and Leon were modeled using different people.
Also the comments about Jill being too masculine or not feminine enough are fucking dumb. LOL It reminds me of how many people tried to say that her skirt and tube top made sense if you imagined her going to the club and living her life normally just before the events of RE3, which itself was stupid because it suggested that women ONLY wear skirts to the club. Have any of you mother fuckers ever gone out or what? Do you think women are some monolith who dress the same for sex appeal or some shit?

Not while doing something active, no. Tube tops aren't exactly stable and liable to move, you'd know if you ever wore one you have to keep pull them up. That kind of tight mini skirt makes it hard to move your thighs, and you really can't run or even really make large strides in it. If you had ever worn these types of clothes, you'd know why if you had to be active you never wear a tube top and mini skirt.
If anything it highlights how silly the design would look with modern rendering.Just what is it with these comments, lol

I think they literally just cut his hair and gave him a shave for the classic costume. Nothing else.
Maybe the preorder outfit comes with the hard mode. Just walk fast, no running alowed.
I think leon looks great personally, but I never thought his re4 look was super amazing.
Considering the redesigns I think Leon's conveys him as straight laced and naive, Ada's conveys her as seductive and overtly as a spy, Claire at a glance looks cool and confident.
I do think the old RE3 design for Jill did a better job of conveying someone caught by surprise but capable. There's a sweater tied around her waist so it looks at a glance like an outfit 'modified' to better cope with the situation (even though you would logically drop it).
It's a tough redesign. I think maybe you do something with her hair, like it's hastily cut to keep away from her eyes. Or you change the sweater/shirt in the original design to something with pockets, so you have a reason why it might be kept.

People also say modern lara is masculine, lol. Does feminine mean literal runway super model to some people?
Wont she have alternate outfits? I love the way she looks as i love everyhtign about the remakes so far but lets not forget. These designs are far more grounded yes, but the games are still absolutely silly and surreal. Let's be honest, if theres a teddy bear outfit people will be playing in that. Slightly over designed characters are right at home here and shes the most plain out of all the new designs. Absolutely love her model though.
That it's something a human would never wear is just plain silly
It's funnier because voth wasn't even brought back for revelations, 7 years ago way before re having this reboot phase/era.
Not bad. But I prefer the REmake design.
Regarding the original RE3 clothing not being realistic, in the end is a f* zombie videogame. Many things are not realistic and we are fine with it.
At least let the player choose the outfit.

My favourite Leon design was him in RE6
Is, it's a bad game but probably with my favourite character designs in the series
Well keep in mind thats like what, 15 years after re2 in canon? So he is a lot older there.
I agree, she looks so beautiful in this shot especially.NuJill look soooo good when she's actually emoting.
You can choose.
