Sony Hires Superstar Korean Cheerleader to Cosplay as Stellar Blade's Eve

Sony is sparing no expense on the promotion of upcoming PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade in Asia, as it’s hired Korean cheerleading sensation Lee Dahye to cosplay as protagonist Eve as part of a meet and greet in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Those who pre-order the game will have an opportunity to attend an event with the Dragon Beauties dancer, who’s one of the most prominent models in Taipei right now.

Funny, I know her lol. Excellent taste Sony.

blackblades165d ago

Its more funny that Sony advertising the hell outta this game knowing how "you know what".......

gigoran8165d ago

I don't know. what is it?

jlove4life165d ago

Just like WWE going back to attitude era kinda so is sony

Cacabunga164d ago

Game def has potential.. gameplay is very good

mudakoshaka164d ago

Do you know her? As in personally. Or you know of her?

shaenoide165d ago

Don't know if it's good taste or not. But kind of afraid of where Sony is going recently.

RNTody164d ago

How is this different from CD Projekt RED hiring Keanu Reeves to punt their game? Or is it only a crime when it's a hot woman?

Enlighten us as to where Sony is going that's a problem.

Michiel1989164d ago

not that I agree with Shae, but he actually mocapped a character in the game. Dressing up as one of the characters and making pics of yourself is quite different.

RNTody164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

That's an arbitrary difference?

Hiring a celeb to promote the game. It's been done since the dawn of time, as far back as Doritogate and further.

What about live action trailers where the actors aren't in the game? What about the skit with Ben Stiller dressing up as Kratos?

All I see around Stellar Blade is fake controversy from people who don't actually care about the issue they're talking about, they just want the clicks.

Michiel1989164d ago

Hiring an actual actor to do a performance in their game you mean? Keanu Reeves besides being a celebrity, is also a great actor. The best performance we gonna get from a cosplayers is them making hearts with their hands. Cosplayers make costumes, actors give performances.

Yeah the controversy is stupid, I totally agree but that doesn't make cosplayers and actors the same profession. You could have picked any game where an actor made a commercial to promote a game, but you chose an example that didn't make sense at all because the guy actually plays a character in the game and a disservice to his great performance in cyberpunk.

I wouldn't have batted an eye if you said Ben Stiller from the get go but no one talks badly about Jesus.

RNTody164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

@Michiel1989 Hey I love Keanu Reeves to death, and I know he was an actor in the game, John Wick and The Matrix all the way, but I'm talking specifically about having him on stage to promote it, not about his actual performance in game- he certainly isn't there to tell you about the game mechanics. Obviously there's a "difference" because he's a character in the game and an actor, but the principle is little different to all the other countless examples, like getting influencers to talk up the game. This is a non-story, and cosplay even though it means very little to me, I can't deny there's a culture about it and there's talent behind it and its purpose is promotion.

What irks me is that this practice has probably been done a million times but journalists are drawing attention to anything to do with Eve and her physical appearance, to overshadow what an awesome game this is looking like. Anyone who played the demo would know.

RNTody164d ago

@Michiel1989 To clarify, Keanu wasn't giving an in-depth interview about bringing his character to life and what he put into Johnny Silverman during development. He was hyping the game, hence the "you're breathtaking" meme was born.

I don't see any cause for worry? Why would game promotion worry you?

TheCaptainKuchiki164d ago

Have you ever watched anime? Idk why people are acting surprised?

Flakegriffin164d ago

Afraid?

gold_drake164d ago

Now I am definitely becoming a passport bro.

Michiel1989164d ago

didn't realize this was newsworthy. Imagine getting an announcement for each cosplayer hired to promote a game

Futureshark164d ago

A strong, independent, successful woman promoting a strong, independent videogame character.

What's wrong with that?

Chocoburger164d ago

Nothing.

Hoping the game turns out great.

But, but, but ... the PC people only pirate their games /s

shinoff218333d ago

I don't think anyone ever said all pc people pirate their games. A good amount do, but steam wouldn't be as successful as it is without people buying.

Vits33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

PC is mostly about piracy.
Physical media accounts for more than half of the total revenue.
+25 million potential customers aren’t enough to justify the cost of porting.
The Switch is mainly bought by parents for their kids.
Releasing games later on a platform doesn’t impact their sales.

And many other terrible opinions that you only see here.

Jingsing33d ago

Given the current state of world economics and PC hardware costs it is pretty reasonable to assume PC piracy has only become larger. Piracy on PC is just as easy as buying but without letting go of your money.

Babadook733d ago (Edited 33d ago )

PC in general is a smaller market than PS5 when comparing on a game by game basis. When it's the other way around it's newsworthy. Maybe this game will be above average for its PC sales but I kind of doubt it.

phoenixwing33d ago

some pc people do in fact pirate their games, it's probably the reason why they waited to do a port. i own a gaming pc but i'm not going to act like piracy isn't an issue for pc gaming. I will probably buy this when it comes to pc tho

FinalFantasyFanatic32d ago

I really hope no one actually has that hot take, considering Steam has more or less eliminated the majority of PC pirating.

Successful as in selling more or successful as in a better experience? If only the author could actually record the Q&A and provide a direct quote rather than second-hand paraphrasing.

I’m still playing through the PS5 version which already runs and looks great. I just got to the Great desert so it’s a slow burn for me.

Tacoboto33d ago

When I played through it back at launch, the Great Desert was the only area that had performance issues (Balanced Mode).

It seemed to be related to maybe a memory leak in that region; it only happened there with unstable framerate at times, and performance would be solid again after closing and relaunching the game.

10/10 game otherwise, loved everything about it and I'll be Day One for whatever they have next.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH33d ago

I haven’t noticed any performance issues in the Great Dessert yet so maybe it’s been patched. Excellent game I’m loving it. I’ve had it since launch just haven’t gotten around to playing it.

No Kill Bill suit? Opportunity missed

Seth_hun33d ago

Its No.4 on the list. Ok, its not exactly that, but it was the inspiration

YourMommySpoils34d ago

Everyone's got different tastes, but the suits this editor chose are the least ones I would use. It's even clickbait of a link, cause the suit in the image link isn't part of the list.
