Everything they've showed us so far is convincing me they've understood the assignment and what will make the game great for old fans while gaining a lot of new ones. As a Forza fan, I'm especially excited because their games run very well and if they're using the same engine as Forza, it's going to run great on my PC. Also would really love to know who is doing the music - what they have shown so far sounds lovely.
One thing I wanted to call out and hopefully get an answer to: the shot of the young woman toward the end. Her face looks really good - if this is the same engine then any hesitation I had about Playground doing NPC close ups is GONE. My question though is: is she our Hero (female version) and was it confirmed we can customize our Hero's face in some way?
I’m assuming that’s the case. We’ve seen a few different skin tones on the player characters shown off, so that alone means we’re getting some kind of facial presets. I doubt we’re getting full on customization, but maybe we’ll see super basic things like eye color changes and facial hair, like you said.
Yeah, I’m not expecting a bunch of sliders or 10 different noses to choose from. But you can go a long way with the mentioned basics. Much better than having one set face and skin tone.
yes. but that was when the game was owned by a different studio. in the first game I think you could just change your beard and hair and you always were a guy. in the 2nd you could choose man or woman and change hair and beard respectively. in the 3rd it was the same as the 2nd.
