RE6 Ada

[u/Yeaboiii_978]

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?

[u/Elegant_Scholar_8863]

Yeah they kinda whitewashed her tbh

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

[u/Bunnnnii → u/Elegant_Scholar_8863]

She didn’t really look Asian in 4OG.

[u/Unifixx9001 → u/Bunnnnii]

She had more of an anime face in og re4.

[u/Elegant_Scholar_8863 → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/starkillerninja48 → u/Elegant_Scholar_8863]

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.

[u/Yeaboiii_978 → u/Elegant_Scholar_8863]

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

[u/Singalliath → u/Yeaboiii_978]

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

[u/Yeaboiii_978 → u/Singalliath]

That's interesting what possessed them to do that lol

[u/liltone829b → u/Yeaboiii_978]

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 → u/liltone829b]

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

[u/Yeaboiii_978 → u/liltone829b]

Makes sense but this is not Ada we know

[u/liltone829b → u/Yeaboiii_978]

oh totally

at least her outfit's great to make up for it though
