Elena's Character model is not up to Uncharted 2 standards

VGarabia.com: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is so much perfect! And such minor let downs shouldn't be there.

[Greywulf]

opinion...without any proof, or pictures of UC1...

[Bzone24]

you just discribed 80% of the articles posted to this site.

[biloz]

If u played Uncharted 2...u can use ur eyes as a proof ;)

[gaffyh]

I actually think Chloe's character model is messed up. Why didn't they just model the people doing the voice acting.

[CaptainKratos]

spoiler ALERT!!!! Jmare , i hate gamers like that.

[The_Nameless_One]

"Why didn't they just model the people doing the voice acting?"

Because there is copy rights issues when you use a person's face. The makers of this game wanted (as they should have) complete control over those characters. If they would have used the actors faces then they [Naughty Dog] would have to ask permission from the actors, or if the actors didn't like how their characters behaved (or anything else for that matter) then Sony and Naughty Dog would have had to comply and change the game's story accordingly.

P.S - I do agree that this "article" is nothing more then an opinion of some one with access to a web site. This was poorly researched indeed.

[karan8624]

1. Its looks fine. I dont know what the hell this guy is talking about, did he even PLAY the first game? The character model is SOOOO much more detailed. You can really tell this in the close up scenes
2. HeroicJanitor, I feel for you, I have had crap spoiled for me in comments and forums because somebody wrote it and I read it before I even realized what was going on. But dont worry, its not even that huge of a thing. Once Elena gets back in the game, it becomes obvious who he is going to choose. There are bigger twists and plot points nobody spoiled yet

[blind-reaper]

@1.1 thanks for the spoil...

[electricshadow]

That made me LOL so much. Bubbles for you. I have the platinum for it so there was no spoilers for me. Just the way you typed it. HA. XD

[LarVanian]

Funny comment, didn't bother me since I also have the platinum. But because of it there is a possibility you'll get suspended since you basically blurted out almost all the shocking moments of the game lol.

[erathaol]

Elena did make a joke about being last year's model.

[Cernunnos]

Leyego that was damn unneccesary for those who havn't played it...

WARNING DO NOT READ HIS COMMENT IF YOU HAVN'T PLAYED THE GAME AND SOMEHOW ALREADY SCROLLED PAST IT!

[sunnygrg]

e-l-E-n-a

not Elina

[ThanatosDMC]

If you dont want anything spoiled, dont read anything related about U2 or any games you dont want spoiled.

[Timesplitter14]

Elena > Chloe

[mal_tez92]

If there was any real problems, I'd say Chloe's eyes sparkled too much, Nates eyes were a tiny bit too far apart and that we never got to see any good close ups of Chloe's as... I mean that's it.

[Xbox Avatars Shoe]

What?! I thought her model looked great! Especially her hair.

[jmare]

How is what I said a spoiler? I'm sorry, did you not gain your common sense trophy? Half way through the game you can tell what's going to happen. Remember, the game is based off of the summer blockbuster formula. Idiots.

EDIT: Below: If you read the article, then what I wrote isn't a spoiler. I was talking about the same thing. And how is that a spoiler? I don't get it. Knowing who ends up with who isn't a spoiler. A spoiler is telling who lives or dies or how the game ends. The fact that Nate ends up with one girl or another or none at all isn't a spoiler. You people need to chill the fvck out. I didn't tell any of the jokes or spoil the scenario that leads up to the ending. Man up.

[heroicjanitor]

The main thing was the huge spoiler in the article about chloe, but you shouldn't have said what you said even if you think we could predict it if we played it.

[ultimolu]

...I'm at lost of words. Now we're attacking the character models?!

[sikbeta]

Always is something to complaint about...

Yeah this article is right, they must put a big macho like Marcus Fenix instead of Elena... lol

[Sevir04]

Elena looked hot as always, but chloe, while Claudia black did a good job voicing her, Chloe simply didn't look hot to me... her jaw line was just too much for me.. LOL!!! i Love Elena, and that little love triangle was hilarious,

"Oh, OHHHH, Casinova arent you?" i loved that part of the game. had me rolling

[Raptor]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Spoiler Warning)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just kidding.

Personally I find Elena physically unattractive.

(Blond hair = meh)
(Pale = meh)
(Pony tail = gross)
(Really annoying Maine accent = 0/10)

I like her personality more though, and I really tried to like her throughout the game. She helps Nate and is very sweet <3
..............

Chloe on the other hand, 10/10

(Black shiny hair = sexy)
(Tanned skin = hawt)
(Hair down = nice choice)
(Exotic accent = awesome bro)
(DAT ASS)

PUT ELENA INTO CHLOE'S BODY

Well done my friends.
A goddess is born.

[ico92]

i think the character model looks amazing

[Sarcasm]

Definitely Elena > Chloe in both looks and personality. I think they tried to make Chloe look exotic but her face didn't come out all that beautiful. But I do like her accent.

[thesummerofgeorge]

Hate to break it to you but revealing who ends up with whom is a spoiler, and I don't see how you figure it's not. In a story arc there's the inside (emotional) story, and the outside (action) story, they both have an arc and intertwine, you giving away the conclusion to the romantic story arc is indeed a spoiler, anything that you wouldn't have known before playing the game is a potential spoiler, and who ends up with whom is a big one. I didn't see the original message, but if you gave that information away it's as much a spoiler as saying who did or didn't die.

[Delta]

little? LOL

[hardcore1912]

maybe its really true!

[topgun33]

Well, when Elena meets Chloe for the first time, she plays on with the words " I am last years model". Personally I would have chosen Chloe too.

[jc48573]

because she prettier to me. Chloe too much make up and kinda ugly, and nothing but ass.

[LONEWOLF231]

Yeah, Elena all the way!
Chloes face seems more on the masculine side.

[HelghastKid]

F@K U GUYS! CHLOE ALL THE WAY

[TheDudeAbides]

i wanna thumb down this article

[MAGNUM-RAM]

Elena is a cutie.

what this website needs is a HDTV.

just saying...

[Rowsdower]

is not up to N4G standards

actually I guess it is

[lordgodalming]

DAMMIT, Rowsdower! You got me again with that mullet and stache combo. Bubbles.

[Rowsdower]

thanks for keeping his memory alive.... in your heart

peace

[Sarcasm]

WAIT, N4G has standards!?

[Cernunnos]

You know the game is looking good when they have to pick on induvidual character models to prove their cause.

Damn bots...

OMFG I SPOTTED A LOW RES TEXTURE IN HALO3!!
*runs to post on n4...* wait... err? -.-

[Sarcasm]

True, when ALL of the human characters in Halo 3 or ODST look like they have crap smeared on their faces.

[monkey602]

leyego

Not cool man!

[Got2bemad2behere]

Guys deliver one of the best games of all time and this what people complain about? Lame, there is no another word for this than lame.

[NotSoSilentBob]

Isn't that the normal thing for 360 fans to NitPick the smallest details? heck SF4 was Better on the 360 when you Zoomed in what was it 300 times?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I'd choose Elena too.

Chloe's kinda cute, but her eyes are too-far inset. It's not attractive.

Elena's a BAMF.

[Persistantthug]

by far.

[Timesplitter14]

butts are overrated.

[PotNoodle]

Pfft, its all about the ass.

[jmare]

But Elena would look better rockin' the mic, if you know what I mean.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Yeah...

Chloe takes it there.

Yeah, I know what you mean...and Elena definitely takes it there. : )

[The_Zeitgeist]

Talk about nitpicking. This is just ridiculous.

[Noah]

I agreed, But I most say the chloe is the best one in the game.

[Cernunnos]

Did you guys notice the stair railing in Mass Effect that doesn't get a scratch on it if you shoot it? Talk about horrible game, what a low quality production!

/SARCASM

[karan8624]

Why is everybody arguing if Elena is better or Chloe?

They are both good, but personally........

Can you say Threesome?

[Deacon]

So you both like and don't care that you spoiled the ending for some of the people who haven't played or haven't finished UC 2? Okay. I thank you for spoiling the ending for the people who read your comment (luckily I scrolled past your crap before anything was ruined for me). I would also like to thank you for your bubbles. They will be an excellent addition to my collection.

[Wolf873]

I have always wondered about Elena's model myself, well her face to be specific. Something about her face just doesn't seem realistic enough. Every other character has pretty good finishing touches but Elena has always come about as "still needs some fine tuning". That's just me though.

But the character model certainly looks updated in U2.

[bjornbear]

I think they are bother digital perfections ;) however of course theres always room for more realism
*hint: gravity*

[GamerSciz]

Elena- Uncharted 1
http://cdawgownd.files.word...

Elena- Uncharted 2
http://i44.tinypic.com/11j3...

I would say they quite improved on her overall look.

Also, keep in mind the graphics in terms of the engines (lighting and such) look much better as well so the characters look better overall regardless. But honestly, I would get with Elena from Uncharted 1 or 2...especially the voice over of her character. She's hot too :)

Elena's voice over- http://www1.pictures.gi.zim...

[Nateh8sYou]

her voice actress is even cute..i can see where they modeled the char's look after her too

but I think Chloe is hotter

[peeps]

says it all really lol makes you wonder why the writer didn't take the time to get some pics for comparison. Good to see that returning to N4G after no net for a month see's it in the same state of ridiculous articles being approved

[Agheil]

Someone has too much time on there hands

[Downandout]

I know right?
Again, another article approved on the sole reason it is either:

A) Uncharted 2 related
B) PS3 related
C) Both

even if the article is a complete waste of time to read ¬¬

[Ngai]

lol.. are.. u.. kidding me?
seems hard to find any decent negative things about this game huh?

[Fade_Walker]

I think Chloe is hot, granted.

But Elena...wow! It takes a special lady to actually come back and attempt such a dangerous job just for a story, and actually picks up a gun and joins the fight.

Elena is bad ass, she has a nice ass and she didn't shoot Nathan!

[Fade_Walker]

Oh, and thank god she doesn't look like this any more.

http://www.gamesetwatch.com...

[wildcat]

Yeah or this...
http://www.blogcdn.com/www....

Remember that one on the left? Rather masculine

[dragonelite]

lol blonde is more fun they say.

[Fade_Walker]

Still looks better then the one in the magazine.

The one in the magazine looks like a dude in the middle of a sex change operation.

[marcindpol]

well i really like her, she's kind of a natural girl which i like, leave her alone!, i would love her to be my girlfriend!!! i would do unimaginable things to her!!!:)

[MonopolyRSV]

Tasty little scene there if I do say so myself, which I do say so.

[jc48573]

the only thing they need to fix is her eyes and reduce the make up! oh yea, it's kinda late to say this now. what's done is done f**k

[xg-ei8ht]

Soz, but i think Elena has the better a$$

[dragonelite]

lame calling personality a quality fault stupid writers come on.

[peeps]

would of actually been worth a read if the article included comparisons to back up the claims.

[tripewire]

Elana ftw!

[RetroPietro]

...

[ATm32]

fictional character , who cares ?

[level 360]

I think it is up to Naughty Dog standards... what I did notice though comparing this to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is that all the characters eyes have more blacks and very little highlights, but that's about it everything is just better.

I do think they based Elena's looks with that of Jennifer Aniston ( Friends ) and Nathan either with David Boreanaz ( Angel ) or Nathan Fillion ( Firefly ) or both.

[Justin_bristoe]

fail... elena is beautiful

[Hercules]

its cool that fans of the same game can agrue against one another...but chloe eyes does scare me a little..but they both are attractive in their own ways...elena has the edge though cause she was rated a FOUR!!! man i love this game

[JD_Shadow]

I agree. Something is wrong with that Elena model...

...her clothes are still on!

[kraze07]

Chloe was the character that needed extra work put into her model. She just looks weird as hell to me. I wish the female characters in Uncharted 2 looked as good as the ones in MGS4.

[ZBlacktt]

I want my 5 mins back please.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

...where's the redhead?

[gtamike123]

Elena's Character model is rendered/looks better in the Uncharted 2 engine.

Anyway why do people nit pick small things.

[PainisCupcake]

Cant say I noticed, I played the game for fun not to seek out minor bloody imperfections.

[RealtorMDandDC]

and it has to be one of the best games I have played in my 34 years on this earth.................

[PS360PCROCKS]

I know huh? It's like a mission impossible/Indiana Jones hybrid. A mix between exploration, action, explosions, comedy and suspense all with a great story.

[PS360PCROCKS]

I actually kinda thought the same thing. I thought Chloe and Drake looked way better. But not that she looked imported from UC1, she still looks good.

[xtheblackparade]

Elena is the hottest of the 2 girls imo...so I don't see the point.

[PS360PCROCKS]

I prefer brunettes

[itsralf]

i thought elena looked better than chloe.

[resistance022]

Although I agree (her hair is just a couple large strands of flat spaghetti) I really don't think it matters

[maniacf40]

.

[dredgewalker]

Wow....this game is so good that idiots look at it with a microscope just to find a flaw. This article isn't up to standard and a waste of my time. Please do not give this moron a hit, better yet find the guy and give him a good hit.

[Grandreaper9999]

Nathan should just surprise them all and get some Lara Croft.

[Brock Danger]

She looks a hell of a lot better than she did in UC1. Actually thought he was cute this go around.

[jonnyp777]

The whole first paragraph is one sentence.
