The new Hitomi...

[synce]

I don't think I've seen a direct comparison yet, so here it is

Looks like they rounded out her face and reduced her dome and ear size.

Who knew little changes could make a big difference

 

[ErickBello]

Well now She doesn't look like a Monkey with the ears, and the rounded face makes her look more Natural in my opinion.

 

[Kasumi]

She looks like Hitomi now, very happy that they listen.

 

[Echo01]

Looks a lot better, imo. Also, dat see through technology.

From the initial videos, I thought they made her look more Asian. Glad to see that isn't the case and she still looks somewhat caucasian.

 

[Orange Pork]

Meh, I liked her old monkey face better. It was unique. Now it's like they moved the slider a little bit more towards generic.

 

[RikWeaN]

I'm with you on this. Sure, the Alpha version wasn't perfect and a bit clumsy, but at least they tried to go for something more unique. Also, having a retarded face kinda matched her personality in my opinion.
She didn't look that bad, especially on the character selection screen...

Oh well, it's history now anyway.

 

[EMPEROR_COW]

its weird ..
she has angles where she looks absolutely fine now .. and others where she looks like a plastic toy as if shes a minor upgrade from doa4 ..

but regardless .. im ok with this new look now ..

and to the guys that still dont like it.. give her the clown nose n we're settled

 

[Allan Paris]

I like the way she looks now and her jester costume is my favorite costume in the game right now. I can't wait to see the rest casts costumes.

 

[RoboJoe]

I think TM went sideways with her new look. Not better, not worse, just different.

Lol, she looks way better now. Im glad she had that plastic surgery.

 

[CyberEvil]

I honestly couldn't care less that they changed her in the first place. She looked fine the first time out and she looks fine now. People obsessed a bit too much.

 

[Kronin]

Sincerely I like both the versions, the latter is more near to the Hitomi of the previous games so more "faithful", while the alpha demo build seems more oriented to a realistic face but so also more distant from the original model.

If something, personally I feel more decisive the change realized for the Sigma2 version of Ayane: the original model used -I don't talk about the NG2 version- had something in her face that imo made her appear a completely different person (here the comparison):

Also in that case I know that the fans' complaints have convinced TN to change drastically her look.

Yeah i remember seeing that. I thought she looked more manish and mean.

Personally, I think Hitomi looked better in the alpha model. All TN had to do was fix the camera angles. I like the new hitomi model but, now the wet T-shirt looks awkward on the new model imo, she just looks to cute to be sexy

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

Hitomi is one of my favorite characters, so I'm really happy that they actually listened and made her look like Hitomi again.

Who would've thought that a developer would actually listen to their fanbase? First they brought back the 4-point holds, and now they brought back the real Hitomi. This game is going to be awesome.

 

[MaxwellMouse]

I'm glad they listened to the outcry. She looked wierd before and nothing like Hitomi. This new look is perfect. I'm loving the new look in general.

 

[Blazeincarnated]

TN should be proud, this is an amazing job!
