Jacqui render reveal

greedface

Beat SonicFox in a first to 100 and I have proof.
That's not how game development game works
I guess your ears went deaf when they mentioned they changed the inputs for amplifying moves based on the negative feedback. "We listened to the community"

I doubt this is true lol They are obviously still working on the graphics
Did the graphics improve or did they change the art direction of a characters face?

Changing an input is 100 times easier then modeling a face. I guarantee you that the model we saw at the reveal was from an older build and they probably had a significantly improved model behind the scenes. And it's not a chance in direction lol, it's the same model they scanned in it's just been polished and improved the lighting on it

All I will say is wait for gameplay

then make your decisions on her
People seem pretty determined to dislike her, so I'm not sure her gameplay trailer is going to sway too many people. It could be the sickest gameplay trailer, and we'll likely still see the same complaints.

I’m not sure what you mean lol But when They revealed Cassie in MKX she looked busted af because it was an early model, by the end they always look better, almost every character does. It’s the same for MK11. I’m assuming some characters like Scarlet look good out of the gate because they have been working on them the longest/first hence revealing them first.

I have the Shining. Wanna know what else the Shining tells me? That Jacqui Briggs will remain one of the least popular and least played characters.
Yet she was around the middle in character usage, one spot under D'Vorah, and the chart covers a 12 month period. You Jacqui haters will say anything to not hold the L.
 
How do ppl hate on jacqui but not cassie. Anything you can say about one applies to the other. They’re both cool looking females with slightly generic spec ops armor. Its better than mkx atleast.

I dislike both Jacqui and Cassie for similar reasons. I just don't have the energy to constantly whine about it on the internet is all.

It being easier or harder doesn't make them stop listening feedback. They listen to the community and that plays a part in the direction the game takes, both visually and gameplay wise.

It's more of a matter of recourses. When your 4 months away from launch you can't just pull a team aside and tell them to remodel a face. I promise you the old model was just the one that was ready when they put the trailer together and was probably out of date when the reveal happened. And literally every model in the game is being improved and this happened in mkx and injustice 2. The model's would have improved regardless of what we say

You are wrong. The dude you are trying to argue with is right. Modeling a face takes much longer. When you even move one single polygon vertex around, whole stuff fucks up, you have to remodel the face, and that is called "retopology". Creating a face is annoying enough, and you have to rebuild it (retopology) because of the massive polycount. I dont know how character development works since I do hard surface modeling and work on environments, but from what I know, you have to rig the face again to make it work as well. Possibly match the mo-cap data again as well. I can be wrong, but its the bits and pieces I have heard during courses.

Shit is rough. Even the simplest thing takes time. You just think game development is too easy, dont you?

There's a reason why DMC's creators said a character sometimes takes up to 1 year to make. For props and environments, sure, its kind-of easy, but theres a reason why they say "3D character artist" is probably the most difficult art job in the game industry

Man, i was hoping they would knock her default skin out of the park because the hate her character recieves is reflective of how racist/misogynistic this awful fan base is. Sadly, it's pretty bland. Blegh.

Hoping her other skins are good and her personality shines in her gameplay reveal.
Stop that nonsense man. Its just a character from the video game. If somebody dislikes a character from a video game doesn't mean he is "racist/misogynistic" and "awful"... I liked Jax, he is ok. Jax is black. My favorite mk characjter-Sindel. Sindel is a female. But i just dislike Jacque. Am i rasist/misogonistic awful fan after that?

Reading comprehension is important.

Where did i say you're racist/misogynistic if you dislike her as a character?

I think jacqui needs to get more hate on the fact she is a product of Nepotism.

I bet she couldn't even pass basic training yet Daddy Jax pulling strings from the netherrealm while he's a revenant to make sure she gets the job.
 
NRS better knock it out of the park with her gameplay trailer and design since the hate for her is real across social media Twitter, Facebook even TYM.
On Twitter the tweet for her render has a lot of likes and retweets though. And i've seen a lot of people saying they love the new design too.

So it's not one sided.

Jax didn't want her joining Special Forces though.

Like i stated in a post after that, simply disliking the character because you find her to be bland isn't what i was talking about. Her design in X was objectively bad. But disliking her because "her tits are small and she's not fuckable" is pretty misogynistic, no? Just go on twitter for two seconds and you'll see plenty of nasty comments about the colour of her skin, her hair, her black features. If you were a black girl and part of this community, don't you think reading hundreds of comments like that would make you feel pretty alienated?

Human jax sure
Revenant jax opened the door for her and sent a lot of telegrams to his old army buddies to make sure she got in the easy way, bypassing what normal soldiers have to go through to make the army. Jacqui coasted through while others suffered!!!
