Character artists and mostly animators on the project. Really simplify things by a great length.I would've understood them changing it if it wasn't based on a real person, but it was. Could've just updated it. Sad to see it gone.
I don't get the "to make him look more like Lowenthal" reasoning...who cares? It feels like a deepfake to me now and worse fitting than before.
The lighting looks like it got a really nice upgrade here, and this is a really nice comparison shot. Looks honestly pretty great.Yeah, people claiming the new model is "horrible" need to lighten up.
Really interesting being able to see this fully blown up.
Idk how many 23 year olds y'all hangout with but he actually looks 23 now. Before he looked like he was going on 30. I dig it.
He actually looks 23 in the remaster. Old Peter looked way too old.
Young Face Peter is worse because he's more conventionally attractive. Preferred the average looking Peter, fits the character better IMO.
"This does bring us to one of the bigger changes. In order to bring the best performances to players with our next-generation Marvel's Spider-Man games, we have recast the face of Peter Parker. We loved working with John Bubniak on the original game; however, to get a better match to Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal's facial capture, we have cast Ben Jordan to be the face model for Peter Parker on the PS5 console. He looks incredible in-game, and Yuri's moving performances take on a new life."
I think OP should edit this in. At least theres a reason for the change
How old do 23 year old people look lol? I am not saying this guy doesn't have a young face but I've seen plenty of people in their early 20s look like this.He looks so much younger. Will it still fit to the game's story/lore and in relation to the other characters' ages?
Yes. Peter is supposed to be 23 in the first game iirc.He looks so much younger. Will it still fit to the game's story/lore and in relation to the other characters' ages?
I'm a proponent of matching character models to voice actors:
This usually results in mo-cap/animation feeling like it matches the character more.
Just finding reasons to complain I guess. 🤔😂
New Peter looks like a 23 year old playing his age. Old Peter looks like a 29 year old playing 23. I got used to old Peter but if they had to recast I'm glad they went with a younger looking actor.New guy looks like he is 5-7 years younger, I don't get why they would make this change
Yes. Yes they did.Didnt Naughty Dog change up Ellie's model a bit to bring her more in line with Ashley Johnson for TLOU2? I remember reading something about that (could also have been for TLOU1)
I cannot fathom that so many are saying they prefer the old model to the new one.
Its not, its a static loading screen.How on earth is this an in-game shot. This looks ridiculous.
Wish they showed gameplay at night.
