And if they really wanted a Tom Holland look alike, they could have just done it in the first game

They said the reason they changed the face was that the current one didn't fit the next gen updates they were going for, so instead they found someone who had a similar shape as Yuri to make it easier

Let me find the proper quote

i dont think they wanted to do it in the first game, i think disney caught wind of how popular spiderman ps4 was and said to make him look more like tom holland spiderman

or sony

one or the other

> This does bring us to one of the bigger changes. In order to bring the best performances to players with our next-generation Marvel’s Spider-Man games, we have recast the face of Peter Parker. We loved working with John Bubniak on the original game; however, to get a better match to Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal’s facial capture, we have cast Ben Jordan to be the face model for Peter Parker on the PS5 console. He looks incredible in-game, and Yuri’s moving performances take on a new life.

See, that doesn't make sense

[Otti#8624 26]

Sony went to Insomniac to make the game

[Otti#8624 26]

They trusted them to do it

[Otti#8624 26]

And Sony is very hands off with the developers

[Otti#8624 26]

They just give them the stuff they need and they do whatever they want

Maybe it was Disney, but then again they could have just done it in the first game already

Y’know that new face can (supposedly) emote better all it wants, but I’ll never understand why on earth there’s any reason he should even look that young or how it makes any sense in the context of the game or anything, the decisions feels entirely influenced by factors far outside of what was best for this iteration of spidey to me

[Otti#8624 26]

I mean, it's fair if people find him to look too young

It's an easy thing to fix, just add some wrinkles and you are more or less done

But I feel like thinking up conspiracies on why they changed it isn't gonna do anything when there isn't any proof or official talk about it.

What we do know is that they changed it so Peter can actually do some proper facial expressions

Cause let's be real, he barely could do it in the first game

Every other model didn't have this issue, just Peter

Which was weird

[Superslash 5]

I mean the hair, skin complexion, stuff like that matters too, it ain’t just a handful of wrinkles that solves it

[Otti#8624 26]

Those are still easy to fix too

[Noleen#7811 4]

I think it's just that higher end facial capture running on higher end hardware need to have similar face to look the best

[Otti#8624 26]

I do agree on the new model looking younger

But the old one looked so much older than he should be

Which isn't a bad thing

It's just they went the complete opposite direction in the new one

[Noleen#7811 4]

from an unbiased standpoint since i didn't play the game, new one looks better for a peter parker

if he acts like the usual marvel one

[Superslash 5]

All they had to do really was relax the eyebrows a bit on the old model ?✊

Apparently it's free this time, so at least they learned something from that mulan incident

[Leamax 762]

What do you mean? The reason why the inital run is $30 is to make back some money since the movie wasn't aired in theaters due to the pandemic

[Superslash 5]

But I thought they were asking $30 for the original Mulan
