How did we go from this to this?
Ayy lmao nuValve
When does it take place? People get older
she looks the same
Before the events of HL2
Alyx had fantastic and detailed mocap.
this
Op is being retarded to be honest
nevermind then
The Realism increased. Alyx was only attractive in HL2 because the graphics were shit. The person she's modeled after isn't attractive.
gross
the curse of face capture. people are ugly.
>different lighting
>supposed to be 5 years younger
>higher poly count
She looked perfect in Cinematic Mod
i never liked alyx much
VALVE HIRE THIS MAN
FULLY
Looks fine, what's the issue incels?
MODELED
looks the same to me op
BADA BING BADA BOOM
its so soulless. she doesn't have the little red streaks in her hair anymore
The Alyx model from the right is seen at the end of the game. That scene supposed to be the same scene from the end of HL2: Episode 2. That occurs minutes after the scene from the image on the left.
Different eyebrows, eye shape, eye size, jawline, cheekbones, nose, hair color, missing scars, and skin tone. She now has the spottled skin and enlarged pores of someone who had bad acne as if she's been gorging on burgers which isn't possible during Combine occupation. And she looks 47 instead of 19 or 24.

Really? Pic related.
i dont really see a problem, she was never a cute bimbo. Just some rando girl although theres more jaw now
ASHES
Does it *really* matter though?
She might have got those later
>she was never a cute
WRONG
The new model literally looks more like the actress then the old one
Dios mio....
>The Alyx model from the right is seen at the end of the game.
You don't see Alyx at all at the end of the game.
for u
What's with the giraffe neck and lighter skin complexion? I can see getting the SJWs to join our side by riling them up about "colorism" or "erasure" or whatever marxist indoctrination they're teaching now. Tell them it's a shame that Valve is sending a message that an AfroAsian heroine can't be beautiful.
Speaking of which she no longer looks black and asian.
yes you do. did you even play the game? you see alyx holding her dad when he died in Episode 2, and her rendered face looks absolutety terrible. good thing we didn't see more of it throughout
You didn't play it? The new Alyx model only appears only once in a flash forward where she is supposed to be the same old Alyx seen on the left at the exact same period of time.
>less details make you prettier
You don't fucking say, why do you think girls are always blurry in selfies? Those filters remove detail and therefore remove skin imperfections, wrinkles, bags under eyes etc.
you'd have a point if it was the same model
Oh right, I forgot about that two second vision during gman's monologue. In any case, it does look a lot like the original model, so what's the big deal?
they negroided her up
It's a higher poly model and they wanted to flex with it by adding texture to the skin and adding details like little wrinkles and shit.
Did they replicate the proportions of everything pefcetly? No.
Did they do a decent job, especially considering you see this model for like 10 seconds from a distance? Yes.
Alyx wouldn't look right in this new engine and artstyle if they just copied the model and slapped higher res texture on it.
Look at this in thumbnail form then. The one on the right is still noticably uglier.
The 2007 Alyx is still fairly detailed. Sure the new one has more polys, a higher res texture and some more advanced lighting tech. But that's not what makes her uglier. It is the off proportions and scary, cold, and menacing dead eyes.
And Valve recasted her voice actress and seriously issued (then retracted) a statement saying that's because they wanted Alyx to sound younger (she's only five years younger) when their recast is a woman in her forties who is less that 3 years younger than the original actress who sounds almost exactly the same.
Her original actress came in, almost all her lines were recorded. But they were tossed away because she was too old when this is her new model.
She hit the wall in reverse...
i seriously think years ago this game started out as playing alyx's mom but then it all changed somewhere
Realistic graphics were a mistake.
that's the problem
I think the issue with the eyes is the tech and lack of animation.
I know about that voice actress stuff. Why the fuck did they do it? Is it just because the new voice actress is full black, while the old one was mixed (just like Alyx)? I listened to the interview Tyler made with her and it made me sad.
You mean they denegroided her up. The original Alyx looked far more African and far more Asian.
This new Alyx looks like a European-Indian mix, a Mediterranean white, a Mid Easterner, or Latino.
Fixed.
They said they wanted her to sound younger, I guess. I can sort of hear it. I hope they bring back Merle for HL3 or whatever comes next though because this new girl is basically doing a very good impression of Merle.
That's decent. Now if we can shorten the length of her head and round out her jawline.
Right side is even more ugly as those old blender models.. whoever remade that should get a new job. That is seriously disgusting. What a skillfree clown. Taking a foto of some granny and copying it into 3d. Don't need a human for shit like that.
>half life 3 vr playing as gordon
>that part where you find alyx
>and have to use the touch sensitive controllers to fingerbang her
Was it too much?
>black don't cra-
>whites age like mil-
>>half life 3 vr playing as gordon

>Was it too much?
If she is old Alyx then it is not enough. If she is nuAlyx...then it is too much.
Negras tend to have rounder jaws, flatter noses, and darker skin like Alyx had before.
Whites tend to have sharper jaws, pointier noses, and lighter skins like Alyx has now.
Valve caucasoided her up.
Creamed.
>but she HAS to be ugly because her age or because the HD graphics or because-
nope
Based op calling out the sjw 4channel shills. Take the red pill you dumb shits. Nu-channel sucks it feels like get woke and shit will unironically be shilled here soon.
Lara isn't bad looking now. But since the Reboot began in 2013 she's been made more and more plain.
HD doesn't make a character look ugly. The artist and/or model is responsible.
see? exactly what i said
Wtf user new thing bad get mad
Where the fuck are people getting the pictures on the right from?
Both this image and the Gordon image have them in this super unnatural, super bright light that doesn't appear in the game.
She looks 20 years older wtf
but that's retarded and almost certainly isn't the real reason
19 and 24 years isn't big enough difference for a character to sound too different, both actressess are in their 40s and Valve could've just told Merle to try and sound younger, VAs do that all the time. But they didn't.
but nu-lara IS ugly, they uglied her up since the 2013 reboot, even in the original game remaster
