I took his comment to mean that the lack of connection with his mother is why they can't establish connections with other females. Not that they were to bed their mother.

I'm still flabbergasted by this ridiculous outrage, like, it was crazy. Calling a bit of natural peach fuzz a beard, crazy work. These incels and weirdos really are twisted ass dudes.

Humans are mammals, so we're a bit hairy, that's genuinely not out of the ordinary for a regular woman to have a bit of peach fuzz. What isn't normal is making it seem abnormal, these chuds, they're truly tragic in so many ways.

I didn't take this seriously, it's just confusing that this caused people to actually lose their minds. There's no rage to be felt about this as all I feel is absolutely confused this passes for something to feel outrage over. ROFL It's just weird to me that they never saw a woman up close, and knew that peach fuzz is a thing women have on their faces. I did call them names, but, incel does seem fitting in this case. More than ever.

Nah, this one is more homophobic. Same reason why these people are obsessed with absurdly out of proportion breast implants. They need to signal to themselves and to the world that they definitely definitely aren't ever even thinking of men as attractive.

Look again. Cox wrote the tweet and shared the image from the guy questioning the hair. Cox is woke as can be. This is another comment from him:

Also the tweet is from 2022 and I dearly hope he left the nazi cesspool by now.

Chimp fur is quite coarse and awfully similar to thick, dense human body hair. I'd prefer something softer, like cat hair, but not chinchilla hair. That is too high maintenance.

Eh... Very visually beautiful, but for some reason, the gameplay just didn't appeal to me much and I couldn't really get into it much. Didn't help that (at least in the beginning of the one I played) the story seemed bland, vague, and a bit confusing.

Still, though, visually wonderful. Amazing graphics and art.

Just wait until they find out about how pubic hair works!

When I was a teenager, my porn obsessed guy friend eventually... tried to hook up with a girl (he was eventually unsuccessful). Hours later, his disgusted shocked complaints and confusion about the overgrowth amused and embarrassed us all. Like he expected this normal person to be like what he saw in the videos online.

I had a guy friend who made out with a girl he thought was hot, and he was shocked and disgusted by the amount of peach fuzz that was visible on her face up close. He lost interest in her because of it.

I hooked up with this guy later on, and he made a comment about how much arm hair I had. It seemed weird to me because we'd known each other for years. The fact that I don't wax my arms shouldn't have been a shock.

There was a similar reddit thread about this game character a couple of years ago in which a guy had posted his screenshot of his "improved" model of her for everyone to admire his work and was defending his modding of the character to "beautify" her because he didn't like her "masculine" qualities such as facial hair, not having a "feminine shaped face", skinny waist, voluptuous bosom, etc. The consensus through most of the thread was that the guy was a chud. But he really ground his heels in on the fact that he didn't think female video game characters should be in any way "ugly" (to how he saw them).

Things like that are usually photo mode or cinematic only. Things where you can either expect the player to not notice mild latency, and you can turn off the rest of the universe except for what's on screen.

Games are shockingly good at hiding absolutely everything that doesn't need to be sent to the render system.

The studio probably doesn't set out with an exact artistic vision, and then arrive there as quickly as possible. Much more likely they decided 15 (or whatever) artists is enough for this project, and they are paying them until the project is done. For the artists, that means if they've met the bare minimum, then chasing smaller and smaller things to keep busy... Keeps them busy.

Likewise, the studio is (hopefully) still within their estimate for the art budget, so there's no one breathing down their neck about cutting costs there. It's not worth it to fire people just because the work is done, especially if they might need that capacity for something close to release.

Technically, the director (or someone) probably could tell them "That's everything for now. Doomscroll until we need you again", but that's not really best for anyone - so effort spent on meaningless detail wins.

I didn't mind that part of the sequel.

However to gripe at that, one would tend to want there to be evidence of the game being seen as particularly poorly performing. Horizon is not a game series known as struggling to keep up, so it's silly to try to blame a non-existant problem on the model detail.

It could make more sense if the game was known to struggle that they couldn't afford the performance budget to do such a subtle detail, or they didn't manage LoD right.

Was it cut scene or in game graphics? In game sure sure but cut scene probably ok with the render farm the devs have.

I doubt you can see that in game unless it photo mode and even then it may only render if close. If they didnt do it that way that'd blow my mind on the efficiency of code.

Wouldn't it be a similar amount of graphics used as putting in a man's beard?

Horizon Forbidden West was designed to run on most people's PCs and the PS5.

Real representation of women in media is important, yes.

With Horizon Forbidden West now available on PC, benchmarks have revealed whether the game plays better on AMD or Nvidia hardware. While GeForce GPUs put in a respectable performance, it's clear that the port runs best on Radeon graphics cards.

Despite its origins as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, you don't need the best graphics card to play Horizon Forbidden West. In fact, the game appears to run well on aging pixel pushers, providing you're willing to turn down a few settings and make use of dynamic resolution scaling (DRS).

AMD's victory in Forbidden West has been certified by Computer Base, which tested more than ten graphics cards across multiple generations and manufacturers, using a Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU to get its results.

Actually starting about ten fifteen years ago it was a big trend in games to add realistic hair that models individual strands and how they react to movement and gravity. Bunch of games have a real hair setting or something like that, Witcher 3 did it and boy did you need a beefy rig to handle that when it came out.

Because it's part of how you get realistic light scattering in the photo modes and visuals that people like?
You can't have realistic graphics without doing the things that make something look realistic.

It's the same reason they spend time figuring out how light moves through cheek skin: if the light doesn't do that you look like a plastic sculpture and it's wrong.

I've always seen the argument coming from incels who want their game women to look like anime, but this is the first realistic take on it.

Yes, but a beard on a man makes up a significant part of his appearance. A few barely visible hair do nothing for graphics except waste performance - a negligible amount tho, tbf.

Horizon Forbidden West added a "photo mode", I think mostly just to show off how good the graphics can be (when nothing is being animated). It does look awesome. If you zoom the camera in, you get anatomically correct facial features.

There might also be some conversation scenes with close-ups of Aloy. Depending on your graphics settings, you might get some extra details rendered.

I am absolutely convinced that the game is not rendering fine hairs while you're fighting robot dinosaurs, since, as you suggest, that would be kind of ridiculous.

But, hey, you really kicked the shit out of that straw man! Great job!

Part of the problem is everyone is on UE5 and UE5 does everything for you, which means the art of designing a game engine to efficiently do exactly what you want it to do for your unique game is a dead art.
