They're Making Aloy Ugly in the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster That We Didn't Ask For

[Jack_InnaBox]

They made Aloy to challenge conventional beauty standards set in media. I think they exceeded everyone's expectations. 😆

They're basically saying "we can't have beautiful heroines, no no no. We must eliminate the threat of the male gaze"

Aloy's face model (dutch actress Hannah Hoekstra) is absolutely gorgeous.

A friend once told me that the reason characters were getting uglier in video games was to avoid triggering trans people. I'm starting to think he had a point.

Remastering a game that's been out for less than a decade tells you how creatively bankrupt the entertainment industry has become.

OG looks way better then remasterd and its not just the face. Her clothing also looks better in OG

Two things are occurring -

The law of diminishing returns + progressive activist = disaster

[TheRaven-WingGaming]

This is why I just like games like Space Marine 2.

It's a remake alright. They've recast her with Nikocado Avocado.

Cant wait for the PS6 remaster when Alloy finalises her slow transformation into a man. 🤣

[RandallDG]

How did they get that far away from the concept art 😳😳 ?

[josephcrabtree]

So they're copying Naughty Dog (TLOU)? At least they aren't doing a remaster of a classic and ruining it.
That concept art is amazing.

When gaming studios do this stuff, it reminds me of a football team fumbling at the goal line.

All remasters are cash grabs. When Witcher 3 can release a completely free "next gen" update, with a new quest and countless upgrades and fixes, and not have it cost a dime, then yeah it's all a cash grabs.

Anyone ever watch how I met your mother? The scene where Ted was asked to design a room identical to the room he was in, just one floor up. And then he totally redesigned it and gets fired.
That’s how I feel modern game remakes are going at this point. Give me the exact same thing, just on the next gen up. Stop rethinking it

I played the first one earlier this year and it basically looked like it came out last week, graphics have barely progressed in 10 years. The fact they're reselling it is hilarious. All to nerf her jaw line some more I bet

[rebelliousgrayfox]

Talking to my girlfriend, who played both of those games start to finish (even completing the first) she referred to Aloy's Forbidden West appearance as "DEI chin"

[hatefuleightyseven]

I don't think Aloy was unattractive in Forbidden West.

[seamcub]

1:10 ngl Concept Alloy was BEAUTIFUL.
I'd DEFINITELY buy a remastered version with her in it.

And add Alexandra Daddario's blue eyes. 😉

i love how creatively bankrupt all these people are that we are remastering games that came out less than 10 years ago.. this is just sad
