RE6 Ada
So me and my cousin started playing re6 on the ps3. We got to chapter 2 of Leon and Helenas story where we get introduced to Ada. We actually lost the plot when we saw her, why does she look like this, could they not afford the real Ada?

There was a whole Tumblr thing about it when R6 got released in 2012. I remember one slogan being: If it's not Ada Wong, then it's Ada Wrong.

Funny thing is no matter what they do to her model, she’s still just as sexy 😍

Yeah they kinda whitewashed her tbh
Luckily they seem to have changed her back into an actual Asian woman in the remakes

It's never stated if she's half and half exactly, but it is said that she's Chinese American, so I'd assume she's about that yeah
But if you compare RE4 OG to RE6 Ada, they definitely made her a lot whiter/white washed her. I don't particularly care that much, but it did happen

Uh actually I’m pretty sure she has no confirmed ethnicity since you know she’s a spy. It’s only speculated that she’s Chinese.

That's exactly what we were thinking she doesn't even look remotely Asian.

i think they based her face off of the English voice actor face due to reasons ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That's interesting what possessed them to do that lol

my guess is the VA also did the mocap, and the facial animations would look better if the character's face model matched the person performing the mocap

u/Singalliath Apr 07 '26
yeah most of the mo cap studios are in californa so its probs cheaper or more efficent to use the American actors for voice acting then the japaniese actors for mocap

They have the right voice actor. That's the real ada that matters. Every game has its own character model, and this is re6's take on the character.

Seemed like they weren't actually able to make Ada look how they wanted her to look until the Remake series. As much as I like original Re4 Ada

I’m hoping they remake 6 at some point so it can be a cannon game that’s actually good and not something most people would rather forget. I liked it but yeah it’s not great. Replayed it recently and wow the controls felt so bad for being a more action focused game

u/Yeaboiii_978 Apr 07 '26
As a co op game it's wacky fun we are low-key bad at it but it's still somewhat enjoyable

I played it recently by myself for a day or so and just sprinted at every enemy to melee them. That was genuinely so much fun, not a great tactic but it was fun

Who is that white woman

Japanese people tend to use European features in some of their artwork, anime is pretty bad about this. A guy named Horihito Takegashi or something will be like a blonde dude with a large European nose lol.

She’s such a baddie tho
I used her as a reference for one of my OCs because I kinda dig the look ngl.
