Sex Appeal was 'Not the Right Direction' Resident Evil 3 remake Art Director Says

"There were a lot of discussions internally about that direction," RE3 remake Art Director Yonghee Cho told Game Informer. "The original design of Jill Valentine was clearly going for sex appeal, but that was not the right direction. This is a very strong character, and it is a character that's going through a lot of adversity, so we wanted to home in on that and make sure that there's a certain level of believability in what she's wearing, a certain level of practicality."

It worked in the original RE3 why not this one? All we want is the original Jill back for fucks sake

>...and they still keep the classic costume as a preorder bonus
so why even say that

sex appeal is fine but not everything needs to be coom material either

She looks like that tranny called Jazz.

Gonna boop those cats.

because capcom knows real gamers don't care about kotaku articles

Whatever, they’ll release mods like the nude sherry one and everything will be altight

virtue signal

How is the new model not sexually appealing?

Cool. Can't wait for more games to do this, and Yas Forums to seethe more. :)

> Women can't be sexually attractive & capable of doing things on their own
Wasn't this the entire reason that Samus & Lara Croft were so iconic? How the fuck have westerners regressed this much?

>implying they mean what they say when they were too coward not to put her classic in anyway

There's nothing wrong with new carlos though, he's one of the better redesigns

>"This is a very strong character, and it is a character that's going through a lot of adversity"
>so we made her design a very boring proto nu-Lara Croft, who was a complete regression and not actually strong at all despite similar rhetoric

They always say this with female characters and you can tell they don't really know how to write said female characters. If you need a radical redesign and "ew, sex" to hammer home unsubtly that a character is "strong", a good chance is that they aren't.

Ignoring the inaccuracies of this post, I find it funny how every single time an interview like this pops someone always comes in with "4d chess" tier damage controlling.

>That back
Pst! You finding something sexually appealing doesn't mean that that's what the devs were centering everything around.

The original RE3 was marketed on sex appeal. Hot girl up against the hulking ugly zombie. Claire has always been marketed this way.

this is nu-carlos. the guy in the classic costume is a completely different person

>Yonghee Cho

Resident Evil was never about the sex appeal so I don't see why it's such a big problem to give her pants. This site is very nitpicky.

ok

The new Carlos is cool. The Classic Clarlos is an abomination and the old Carlos was cool.

That's because ye olde carlos had 0 role and character besides "im le sexy spaniard all foxxeh ladehs want me xDD" and I'm glad they went far away from that

fuck off pedo.

Cool. More reasons to pirate this.

I think we played very different games.

Ugly hag compared to my wife, Claire.

>if a woman has sex appeal, she is not a strong character who can go through a lot of adversity
what bullshit, spoken like some soiboi who brainwashed themselves with internalized female jealousy of sexier, more endowed women that aren't chestlets

also reminder that this is literally a non-issue anyways because they're putting the fucking club dress outfit in the game anyways

yes, they are retarded and should all be gassed.

What fucking inaccuracies? The classic costume IS available. she DOES have big tits with jiggle. She DOES have a big ass.

Gooks are literally knock off Americans, they drank the western culture kool aid harder than the Japanese.

>The original design of Jill Valentine was clearly going for sex appeal, but that was not the right direction.

Modders are going to say otherwise.

It's literally ok when Japan does it.

>implying they mean what they say when they were too coward not to put her classic in anyway
Putting it as a pre-order instead of an unlockable like RE2 remake. Clear regression (unless they revealed it can be unlocked in game and I missed it). Also if they didn't mean it they would not say it. They believe what they are saying, because otherwise why would they just virtual signal when the classic costume is still in the game? Them still saying this despite that makes it clear they believe it.
>implying they didn't give her massive tits and ass anyway, tits with literal jiggle physics
Jill always had tit physics, her continuing to have them isn't new. And I disagree about her ass being as big.
>implying buff lady cops and THAT back aren't sexual
Subjective.

Similar to MK and other games of current, the developers went out of their way to attempt to "desexualize" (even though she's not really that sexual to begin with) because of Kool-aid and "realism" that strong characters can't show sexuality.

It's true. This scene in REmake 2 was cringe

The original costume is censored just lie Jill face and body is no longer attractive

"Believability" meaning that they homed in on the trope of Generic Tanktop Lara Croft #2261

Are they saying strong characters can't be sexy?

>strong women must cover up thieir entire body or they're not strong anymore because they showed their sinful female forms

Literally horseshoe theory, they went so far around liberalism they ended up puritanical.

yes suddenly japs care about strong woman and respecting woman and not fanservice sure, we all know you are pleasing the white man you selfhatng gooks.

I think you're overthinking this

those arms, back and butt tick all of my boxes.

This is by far the worst thing about Jill's redesign. It's so generic. Re1 & re3 Jill was distinct. Re1 more serious, Re3 more casual. Generic tanktop is just boring and terrible.

>stronk can't be sexy
>but also buy this DLC
why nobody calls them out on this, they are literally lying their asses off with that shit

you don't think at all, retarded nigger

literally how

yea and thats why theyre not getting my money. somehow carlos redesign looks cool but im sure they probably ruined his personality somehow too, probably by removing his "macho problematic" jokes or something.

It's more about believability. Someone in the middle of a zombie apocalypse wouldn't be wearing anything that isn't practical because that runs the very real risk of dying. The only excuse you could give for something skimpy would be if the character was a streetwalker or a stripper straight out of their shift, neither of which Jill is.

Jill's outfit in 3 was dogshit, if you're gonna try and sell me nostalgia DLC at least make it something good like her S.T.A.R.S. outfit or something. also, if you're gonna replace her old outfit make it something a bit more inspired than 'nu-lara palette swap'

Good thing we're not talking about Claire

I'm pretty sure Raccoon City was going through a major heat wave at the time. I remember reading that in a book.

You know if you can't defend your new design without attacking the old one then that's a clear sign that the new design doesn't have a leg to stand on. especially when you try to sell it as an extra anyways.

a zombie apocalypses is not believable in the first place you dumbshit

The original design always screamed "campy action flick". Was that not the intention?

that was the only scene i hated in the game, it was the only poorly done part in the whole game and you can tell it came from some female or some onions boy. leon is fighting the monster because he was tricked by that scientist lady so he has to survive a brutal monster fight. compare to claire's story, bitch literally jumps down and says :"im gonna kick this monsters ass girl power!" so awful.

so have times changed and "normie gamers" legit don't want attractive women in games?
you'd think having some boobs in a game helps it sell, but if normies are so against that, they might be where the money is.

Jesus christ you fucking robot

explain your logic. How do you justify a new design choice for an old character without comparing it to the old one and explaining your reasons for the change?

This is because the feminists got angry over the REmake giving Jill jiggle physics.

>this scene was cringe
You are impossibly gay, literally the worst post on Yas Forums this week

normies love it too. It's just the industry that feels the need to self-justify itself to needlessly please the woke crowd.

Yeah man so "dogshit" that Capcom hung onto it for 20 years in countless other games as an easter egg bonus.

Canon tits size DLC when

But why jeans+tanktop? That's so overdone.
Why not go full jacket since she needs to protect her skin from random bites?

Two things.

1. If you're remaking the game then you should stick to the intent and tone of the original. Small updates are one thing but altering the design past a certain point is effectively making a new character entirely.

2. If the new design had any merit it would speak for itself. All you're doing is inviting the comparison and even further scrutiny. You're declaring to the world "I DON'T BELIEVE IN MY OWN VISION BUT THE OLD ONE WAS BAD BECAUSE WAH WAH WAH"

>being brave is cringe
>if you are a female
no, you are cringe friend

but she is still gonna have jiggle physics

i hope the virus kills us all, start over

Yes excactly. They made him 10x sexier. He was a cringelord withh nothing sexy about him in the old RE3 so I'm happy

Lara croft has long hair and Jill ALWAYS had short hair in RE3, what the fuck is your ordeal?

>Canon tits size DLC when
PC mod.

t. cuck that donates to twitch girls

She still looks hot tho?

the whole point of the character before retcons was that she was in her civilian clothes

Giving her a military/police style default outfit is retarded, because no woman walks around in full paramilitary gear like the remake outside of feminist wank fest fiction

But she literally still has those

I don't see how her original outfit was impractical. They just butchered Jill to appease a few screeching trannies on twitter. Even Claire had a more feminine and cuter outfit, despite looking ugly herself.

>Yonghee Cho
Does he have a resetera account?

Bravery isn't the absence of fear, it's overcoming fear. Old Claire showed fear lot's of times but she gritted her teeth and stood against the monsters. She didn't just pose and drop a one liner because TEE HEE IM BRAVE.

they know mods will fix it anyway
so why not get some easy virtue signaling points?

no woman walks around and does what she does in the game, no woman would

Resident Evil was a Japanese attempt at making a jump-scare horror movie that was popular at the time.
The fuck do they mean, "Not the Right Direction?" It's a huge part of horror movies. Fuckers can fuck off.

>YOU LOSE BIG GUY
woah so scared

They just gave her pants. And if you're talking about Carlos, I guarantee you everything they're doing is a direct improvement.

What exactly is supposed to be "sex appeal" about her old design? Is a strapless top automatically sex appeal? Is a skirt automatically sex appeal? She looks like she's just wearing a casual light outfit, it's not like her tits are front and center or she's running around in a bikini.

Are you actually retarded?

wow, huge mistake that this interview came out before the release, i unironically cancelled my preorder

they don't want to cater to me anymore, that's fine i won't give them my money

>you can't display any bravado
>if you are a female
ok boomer

I was hyped as fuck in this scene. Badass fuckin boss battle.

They should have grabbed their nuts and had a Yuri scene to trick Claire.

Women putting their hair up in ponytails or cutting it short is basically the same thing, it shows they're gonna get 'down and dirty' just like the boys do.

The point of this redesign for jill is not to reduce sex appeal, but to follow trends in western gaming because it worked extremely well for RE2's rebecca.

Who?

Didn't the Raccoon outbreak come out of nowhere? Why would anyone be prepared with practical wear?

normalfags unironically think RE3 remake Jill is hot and will attack you if say she looks like a man. Westerners never got away from the "realism = better" push.

What?
