The bottom ones are based off real actresses. The top ones are based off real actresses and edited to look less attractive.

If you look at the models for the top characters they are gorgeous.

A couple things:

1. Yeah her voice acting was trash. I said before that I didn't even think she herself was a bad VA, moreso that Ada was not the role for her.

2. The truth of the matter is, that part of what social media is for is to state your opinion. I'm not gonna lie, I was tempted to mute her every time she came on screen. I should be able to say that on social media so the company sees how I feel.

3. Following that, we need to work out where it is acceptable to say these things and where it is not. Personally, I don't believe that a person's DMs or personal spaces are a place for professional criticism. I do, however, believe that professional spaces are a place where criticism is valid.

4. Criticism should be civil -- and they certianly shouldnt be an attack on someone as a person (unless warranted). I've had interviews with directors where I've told them I didn't like their work, but explained it in a way that makes it rational and not seem like I'm foaming at the mouth.

5. Just as a side note, that article played dumb about the whole "seductive" aspect to her voice. That was disingenuous.

I wouldnt blame it on direction since its a remake so the VA had a pretty good reference for how to perform the voice already. Its just bad casting by Capcom and its not right to harass her for it.

Hmm. After listening, her voice doesnt fit the character too much but not bad

that are some parts where it sounds like she needed better direction because it was terrible, but not bad

It was terrible, but not bad? You know terrible is worse than bad right?

Could be something like what happened in Tales of Xillia where Milla's voice actress sounded off compared to the rest, like she had a strong lisp, but really it was more like she was recorded on a lower quality microphone or something. Sounded perfectly fine in Xillia 2.

I have a hot take. As someone that hasn't played any RE game and isn't interested, I think the new voice is way better than the older one in this video comparison.

Some of the most God-awful voice acting I've ever heard. Especially compared to the past VAs

Yeah they did the same with Aloy in the new Horizon game

I find that so incredibly bizarre. Why not just use a less attractive person for the model? They'd save money as opposed to using a gorgeous professional model. And what's the objective of this anyway? They're taking actual people that really exist and then implying they represent unrealistic beauty standards by making them uglier in the fictional piece of media they appear in, lmao

I see the chuds saying that the left is trying to destroy beauty as a concept and that viewpoint seems to have more merit by the day tbh

One is active and the other is passive. If you hire an average looking person and model the in-game character after them, people will simply think that you've hired a person who isn't particularly attractive. If you hire an attractive person and actively de-sexualize or de-beautify their in-game likeness, people will know that you're making a point to remove titilation as a factor.

In short, it's virtue signaling. How will people know that you've done the right thing if you don't call attention to it?

Boy, it's almost like the top two exist in a world where it's well into the apocalypse and things like "makeup" and "soap" are likely in short supply.

But expecting chud gamers to...what's the word? "think"? is clearly asking to much of them.

No it's not.

It's a game with zombies in it. Not a zombie apocalypse.

In the Last of Us 2 the entire world is affected, infrastructure has collapsed and is no more.

In Resident Evil 4 the world at large beyond the game is rolling along just fine.

Maybe it was the voice direction that was given to her too. It might not have even been her fault her performance turned out that way
Her voice is terrible, yet everyone else in this game absolutely nails it. Even Krauser, who feels purposefully hammy, feels like he fits in the game, extremely hammy but entirely well acted.

Plus the audio quality for her stuff specifically seems to drop significantly too compared to everyone else.

None of this justifies her harassment, though.
