Another thread about sexism in video games.

I think "sex" might be the least of the problems with a game called "Sex with Hitler"
I dunno about Kotaku themselves, but their twitter acc delivers some good shots from time to time

You must love really putting your foot in your mouth, don't you?
Yep.Though getting a window to her boobs, have been there since the beginning. The only difference is her ballistics were of actual realistic proportions. I like Baiken, but if they wanted to give her bigger sex appeal, the chest size increase was not needed.
Her victory screen, btw.
Giovanna fills that roll now. Though her skin is darker than a tan. Also, I remember when Dante had a slight tan in DMC1&2. Capcom dropped that aspect of him from 3 and onward.
Dark-Skinned Redhead - TV Tropes
Like most character design decisions in anime, colors are often chosen to reflect personalities more than to be realistic depictions. Although dark skin is not a particularly alien choice, it's more often used to reflect a bouncy, energetic, …

Kei from Dirty Pair being one of the first well known examples in anime/manga history.

Bland, blatant pandering. Which is fine if you're into that sort of thing
That's what most of these threads are, at the brass tacks level: "I am now going to complain about other people not liking a thing"
Like:
Dev 1: "How do we revamp Baiken's design?"
Dev 2: "Whiter and more booba"
Dev 1: "Brilliant!"
I'm not a sociologist but that's sad. But hey: at least they aren't sexualizing a kid.
You might as well be eating your own toes at this point.
Not that I'm defending Arc System, but the first game really does reek of early installment weirdness. If you look at the artwork for the sequels and updates to the 2D games, she got paler each time. Not to mention, there was a good amount of radical designs in future sequels and later iterations and updates for a good amount of characters. It still would have been nice though. At least there's color swaps. Also, you got 2 hot dark skin babes in Strive. One that wears booty shorts, and has toeless socks. I think everyone will manage just fine.
Question, can it be that not only in video games but in films and shows, too, women sort of have to be attractive more often than men? Just thought about a comment on Star Trek TNG, the male admirals could be fat, but the female ones, while at least older, apparently could not.
As a rule, yes. The stereotypical male scientist in fiction is an old guy who either wears a suit with leather patches on the sleeves and smokes a pipe, or has Einstein hair. The stereotypical female scientist is some 20-30 years younger and could have been a model.
To grow bigger boobs she had to lose her tan because that is the law of Equivalent Exchange.
Speaking to tan loss I still believe Vanessa from Vitura Fighter got skin bleached after 4 and no one will tell me otherwise.
That sucks so hard and I don't know why Sega did that. For the Virtual Fighter 5 remake, they do make her skin slightly darker again. At least darker than the original iteration of 5 anyway. Dead or Alive 6 did the same thing with Lisa Hamilton. And she's not even really playable in that one. She didn't get it as bad as Vanessa, but it's still annoying. What the hell Team Ninja? What the hell are you guys trying to appeal to, the KKK and Mainland China? That goes for you too Sega. At least Capcom bothers to keep their ladies that are dark skinned or black, keep them that way. Namco as well.

Maybe they just got really sick for a while like Birdie from Street Fighter.
Birdie is like the reverse. Started white, and then turned black. Capcom has weird habit of doing that too. Morrison from the DMC Anime went from old blonde white guy to old black bald dude in DMC5. The main reason they did that is so they can have an equivalent to Rodin from Bayonetta.
I find it funny that they can give Jill D size breasts but putting her in a skirt again or something other than the standard, safe jeans and tank top is a giant no-no. Such an uninteresting look.
The "classic" outfit (now with a skort) wasn't well updated and is very out of place within the photorealism.

Dude, get over yourself. That was going to be her original outfit in OG RE3, but changed to mini skirt for rule of sexy. I like the mini skirt outfit, but I do not mind a change up. Plus, it's nice callback for ideas they did not get to use. At players get the skirt as an option (through DLC or pre-order). If you have the PC version, start downloading fan mods that have the more accurate costume.

Older Than They Think:
- Jill's new default tank top and jeans outfit appears to be lifted from a beta version
◊ of the original game's intro.
Another reminder that sexism is still a problem in this industry. People tried to actually sue over dumb shit like this. They did not even get far. The YouTube reactionaries can fuck off and die as always.

Who cares if that was one of the original concept versions? They should have gone with something else after dressing Claire in a tank top and jeans in RE2 only a year before.Dude, get over yourself.

The fan mods are bad. Most only alter the textures.

Capcom does, and most sensible RE fans that don't get hung up on dumb shit. I certainly don't mind.
You mean something else in terms clothing? Or a different character? Sounds like grammar trouble.
Also, Claire's tank top and coat outfit was another concept they had, but did not get put in the original RE2.
Christ, you're so spoiled. Be happy you got actual games and remakes of RE2 and RE3. Not without their flaws, but I love these games. Don't like the costumes; too bad. Deal with it. Capcom clearly does not give a shit and have 0 fucks. I agree.
