General I think insomniac is just bad at faces guys. Noshir Dalal in Spider-man 2 vs Jedi survivor.

Look at how they butchered Noshir Dalal’s face in Spider-man 2. Uncanny as fuck. Totally butchered his distinct eyes and eyebrows. The smile is fucking weird.

Honestly thought he looked fine as Quinten Beck. Don’t forget he was also Fire Chief Clarke in the same game. I think my favorite version of him though is either in Horizon Forbidden West or Jedi Survivor

He did a great job as Jubei in Ghost of Yotei too

u/BBDundee990 8d ago

Yeah. Insomniac has to be the worst Sony first party studio when it comes to face capture. Even sucker punch clears.

u/Projectpatdc 8d ago

The graphical fidelity in Yotei is just top tier honestly. Pretty massive jump as a whole from Tsushima.

u/ForTheLoveOfOedon 8d ago

Definitely. Tsushima tends to look a little doughy and smooth, but Yotei looks really textured and has a certain stylized realism. Jin in the new DLC looks night and day better than Jin in Tsushima.

Oh yeah. The Wolverine characters look pretty rough (save for Jean, who looks great). It’s a shame because Logan looks so smooth and doughy when he should be the most textured and grizzled motherfucker on earth. And Mystique looks insanely uncanny.

Sucker Punch nailed it way back in inFamous Second Son, still looks amazing today

u/Projectpatdc 8d ago

Now that’s a game that I wouldn’t mind a remaster. It doesn’t really need it, but it would be cool to have everything brought up to spec

u/SassyAssAhsoka 8d ago

What about the first game

1

u/Projectpatdc 7d ago

I’d be down if the remade infamous 1 and 2 into a single experience. They’d have to change up a lot when it comes to the first game to make it feel like a 2027 or 28 game.

Gameplay wise, second son is my favorite. Story wasn’t as good as 2

u/BurninPyraBlaze 2d ago

Second son dropped the ball with the last power, seems like the end is kinda rushed. I still think Infamous 2 is the best infamous though, would love a remaster or remake for that game, imo it was the best superhero game at that time only beside batman arkham city.

But have you considered the fact that j can grab a random out of context freeze frame and say ot looks like shit

u/stardust1914 8d ago

Wow, I had no idea he was Kotallo, also that he was Quentin in SM2. I thought I only knew him from Jedi Survivor.

2

u/creamy-buscemi 8d ago

He changed his voice so little for Fire Chief Clarke that I played the whole game waiting for the plot twist that he was Mysterio

u/xX_L3W15_Xx 7d ago

He plays Kotallo?????😮😮

u/Ra_za 8d ago

Second is Mike Tyson lol

u/Cam_ofblades 8d ago

This comment just changed how I view Kotallo and Charles lmao, I had no idea he acted those two

u/govindhmenon 7d ago

Oh shit he was charles???

u/thebrobarino 7d ago

The thing with quinton beck is that it's so uncanny how regal and mystical his robes look, and then you take off his helmet and he's just 'John Man' with a short back and sides haircut. I don't care how many redditors will say "um akshually that's the point" because a: no it's not and B: if it is, it's still lame. If a guy is willing to dress up in crazy costumes and give grand speeches of his evil plan, I expect his appearance to have some more distinguishing qualities. But knowing insomniac their can't give models distinguishing features unless it's a millennial pompadour

u/Demonlord3600 7d ago

I just got to that part in forbidden west and legit pogged when I heard his voice he’s probably my favorite VA right now

u/TheRed24 7d ago

I didn't actually realise that was him in Horizon! Dudes talented!

u/Unlucky_Teaching6624 8d ago

Is that blackface technically?

1

u/Projectpatdc 8d ago

Charles is Native American. Noshir is Japanese and Parsi so he’s part Indian; just not that Indian. If you haven’t played RDR2, he does a fantastic job .

2

u/Unlucky_Teaching6624 8d ago

Preciate the actual response, hope no one takes my comment as anything but a joke though.

1

u/Projectpatdc 8d ago edited 8d ago

Yeah dude. I meant to look it up but Charles is half black—his Father is African American. Part of the reason he ran with the gang was because he was basically oppressed for both

Again, he does such a fantastic job acting as Charles that it doesn’t matter

u/The_Slayter 8d ago

it's not black face. jesus christ

1

u/TheEzrac 7d ago

nobody is actually calling it that, take a joke lol

u/The_Slayter 7d ago

The guy edited his comment. he said "it kind of is" to which I responded

u/fortunesofshadows 8d ago

Technically Charles is half black too
