Russian Cosplayer Becomes Bioshock: Infinite's Elizabeth
- Thread starter Karloff
- Start date
I appreciate that we are supposed to be looking at the pretty lady (who, I should add is very pretty), but what is annoying me is the fact that the clothing on the chap on the front cover is...very wrong. Coat fronted shirt, attached wing collar, white cuffs, hip hugging trousers...come on Irrational, do some research.
Very impressive cosplay, that would make things difficult with the dev changing outfits I imagine.
Also that cover art, can we stop getting the stupid manly gun posed for camera covers?
My origin account has 4 soldiers walking at the cover looking angry and to make matters worse, even Dragon Age 2 does the SAME THING.

A man of that age in that period with that background wearing a wing collar and cravat is unlikely, such a man keeping his collar on borders on implausible, but a shirt that buttons all the way down and the hipsters...that's an anachronismStikibunn said:
That is true however we're also talking steampunk here. The lady's costume isn't very accurate either.GonvilleBromhead said:A man of that age in that period with that background wearing a wing collar and cravat is unlikely, such a man keeping his collar on borders on implausible, but a shirt that buttons all the way down and the hipsters...that's an anachronismStikibunn said:
Very few people would recognize his shirt is wrong (I did but that just sounds like bragging) as long as they get in the ballpark it's ok I think.
It's more a stylistic choice to me - Elizabeth dressing that way makes sense to my fuzzy logic as Columbia is a steampunk world. However, DeWitt is meant to be an outsider, and the world away from Columbia a closer parallel to reality.
Plus, I feel a higher trouser waist, no collar (but retaining a tie), would be more visually interesting, less of an air of "cosplayer without the eye for detail" look as well as give off a greater air of the fish out of water 1912 everyman getting down to nitty gritty.
I appreciate it's not a major thing, and a very minor irritation, and I'm hardly going to stand outside the developers offices shouting "do not buy this shameful game" or boycott it. Just seems that there is no harm in getting it right...

Milla Jovovich? Oh, I love Milla Jovovich, everything she makes is pure gold... I love her so...DVS BSTrD said:
OT: That's really impressive, but on account of her being attractive she's obviously just doing this for attention and so the evil feminists can implant mind controlling ovaries in out innocent male heads... Burn her! Burn them all! *sarcasm*
Granted, it's not the end of the world, but it's a huge and annoying lack of imagination... And when we talk FANTASY, if there is something everyone should DEMAND is a shit load of amounts of imagination. I mean, Emile Autumn IMPERSONATES a "wayward victorian girl", but really, EVERY woman is gonna look like that? Even a character that so far seems to be a by-the-book good girl (even if she has badass powers and can take care of herself)?blackrave said:
Heh, her cosplay for Mass Effect should be in a fucking AAA MOVIE lol
I don't typically express this sentiment publicly, and I apologize if anyone finds it offensive/misogynistic/chauvanistic/etc., but... sweet jumpin' jehoshaphat, that woman is gorgeous. And her cosplay is pretty top-notch as well.
It's pretty sad the gaming community has been so shamed by outside sources and writers/hosts within gaming journalism lately that people are terrified of finding a female character or model for a character attractive, or at least voicing it. Fearing the finger pointing and labeled an "objectifier".The Rogue Wolf said:
You're not a bad person or obectifying her for just thinking she's beautiful and appreciating her work. It's other people that have the problem if they take issue with so basic.
By generic and bland he of course actually means normal and realistic. If you compare the two images..Tarkand said:
The screenshot has a stylised cartoon-like quality to it. The wallpaper on the other hand takes exactly the same concepts and delivers something more in the direction of Hollywood-style realism. This is of course as the saying goes horses for courses. There really isn't a hard, solid right answer to this sort of decision of art direction unless the market decides to bankrupt your ass.Dexter111 said:I dno, I liked the character art more when they were showing it off in the Trailers:

She looks kind of bland and generic now.
I do wonder however just exactly how long it will take the feminist collective to start harping on companies that hire good lookin' geeky seamstresses like this lady instead of your normal run of the mill booth babes.
I'm sure as hell not going to. I don't see why some of us would in the first place. Good on the company for hiring a gamer dedicated to cosplay.Paradoxrifts said:
Despite what you might see on the internet, feminists are comprised of women (and men) that have differing opinions on different issues. We don't all think nor act the same.
