This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Is it just me or is her face a bit weird? Like too much jaw?

I'd love to play the game as Ciri though, hope they make up a good story, it felt the Wild Hunt was her story, IDK what can top that.

Might be a character redesign. Geralt definitely got that treatment from 2 to 3.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

And from 1 to 2, which was desperately needed.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I agree.

As someone else pointed out, Geralt looked quite different in the game vs the first cinematic launch trailer.

So who knows, time will tell. Also keep in mind it’s a new engine

Her face looks longer to me. I assume they're trying to make her look more like a real person.

Problem is (well, not really, but still), she already looked like a real person. Personally know people who look a lot like Ciri, it's not the most uncommon look in Slavic countries.

It may be just the trailer. In some scenes, she looks like herself from the 3rd game, just aged, but in most, she looks a bit... weird. It's really hard to tell what's going on because when you try to compare the models, they do match up.

Reminds me of xiv. It always looks great ingame but half the time their cgi trailers mess up peoples face anatomy

It looks like they created a monster trying to fit a bunch of features in a face. It's on all thumbnails, same as clickbait videos. It's a marketing stunt.
