So THAT'S why all his casts are 99% white.

You think the average Jap buys this shit or do they just roll their eyes? Sometimes, I feel like they are way too trusting. At least on social media.

>>713935068 (OP)
Kojima is actually very sensitive to criticism, the fact that he felt a need to make an excuse for this tells me his next game is going to be very Japanese.

He doesn't want it to look like the Flowers of Evil anime but more realistic.

>>713935319
They looooove having people jerk them off, almost as much as third worlders love when firsties give them validation. It's a delicate culture.

>>713935506
DS2 is already easily the most Japanese game he's made

>>713935319
Do japs play these westaboo games? I'm watching someone "play" and it's like a /v/ shitpost.
Kojima is like an alien to me

Ultimately. At the end of the day. He cannot say why wouldn't do such a thing. Games that are only asian and only have asian characters typically do very poorly in the west.

So yes. Your skins too smooth, smooth skin. Yes.. that's the reason. Not because the rest of the world outside japan doesn't have much of an interest in asian people.

white blonde women are just superior

>It's surprisingly hard to get Asian faces to look right in CG. When we scan them, there's not much facial contour, and especially with women and younger people - their skin is so smooth and clear that it ends up looking overly synthetic and glossy in CG. This isn't just true for Japanese people - but also Koreans and East Asians have beautifully-refined, fine-textured skin that can appear too 'CG-like' and artificial when modeled. On the other hand, older people or those with lots of wrinkles and freckles are easier to capture and work better because those visible details help add realism to CG.

>>713935818
that's not a woman.

That doesn't make any sense though. Smoother skin is easier to recreate. Mario on the N64 has smooth skin. Fewer imperfections means fewer details.

>>713935862
no wonder they accused the stellar balde actress of looking like a barbie doll, I hope that they wont uglify themselves from this

Meanwhile....Kojima

>>713935798
Anon, that's not the reason either.
The reason is that Kojima himself is deeply in love with Western cinema and wants as many buddies from there as he possibly can. He himself doesn't give a fuck about the idea of Japanese actors when he could be mocapping these worldwide celebrities instead.

>>713935506
Kek
Kojima is a terminal westaboo amd everyone in Japan is aware

>>713935068 (OP)
This guy always cooks up some over the top excuse for everything he does, and none of it ever sounds convincing. Just admit you like something without sounding like a socially inept tryhard. For a old guy that idolizes western culture so bad, he sure sucks at assimilating it.

The insane smoothing filters asians use anytime they are filmed tells me this is not true.

>>713937707
tbf the filters probably work better on them cause they aren't as unsmooth

>>713935068 (OP)
He lost his touch.

>>713935319
Slants are dumb as shit. Literal slave tier. They buy and do whatever they are told

>>713935068 (OP)
Lmao Kojima calling white women haggard

>>713935068 (OP)
he is very obviously a westaboo, bet he would walk around in a cowboy hat if he was more shameless

>The game director stated (via machine translation from Japanese to English): “It’s really hard to recreate Asian faces accurately in CG. Especially women and younger people, their skin is so smooth and beautiful that it ends up looking too artificial. This isn’t just limited to Japanese people; many Asians have incredibly fine and delicate skin, so when it’s rendered in CG, it tends to look fake.”
gee kojimbo, if only video games allowed for different kinds of artstyles, particularly of the stylized kind.

>>713935068 (OP)
Makes Sense. Norman Rhedus' face skin is a mess.

Why can't he just be honest and say he just wants to suck off his celebrity friends

>>713937707
Anon have you actually met an asian person? At least one that actually lives in asia? The 20 year olds look like 5 years younger.
Also this is why people say Team Ninja characters look like dolls because they actually scan irl Japanese models.

>>713941964
I find it funny. Most people no used to asian people keep saying that stellar blade looks fake and unrealistic but anyone who consumes a lot of asian media just says hey that looks like a kpop/jpop idol!

>>713943198
>Anon have you actually met an asian person?
Yes a lot of them have acne scarring

>>713943496
I really doubt that because asians are incredibly conscious about their skin and use a lot of skin care products. Even the men have pristine skin unless they work in hard labor and are like 40+ years old.

>>713943198
>this is why people say Team Ninja characters look like dolls because they actually scan irl Japanese models
you know they don't just use the raw face scans and touch up the models, right?

>>713943672
And what makes you think Kojima doesn't? Hell people keep bitching that western devs keep making female characters uglier than the irl female mocap models.

>>713941964
His answer is even more absurd in this light because even in his old games where characters were completely designed to order he had like 1 unambiguous Asian character but a whole bunch of "half-Japs" who looked 100% White.

>>713943887
Yeah wanted to post this too. RGG is fucking amazing at capturing asian live drama feels.
Kojimbo is bullshitting to make his western friends feel good.

>>713935506
All of his games are Japanese drama with western settings. I don’t care how much of a westaboo he is, he can’t stop doing Jap writing and drama.

>>713943952
Because kojimbo is a westaboo through and through. None of the 80s action movies he watched had notable asian characters he can rip off. So the obligatoru asian token character in his games also look like token asians in those old movies.

>>713943887
it just seems like a roundabout side-stepping of saying
>japs too mundane/boring
>western actors interesting (but really i just have romantic nostalgia for them because of old hollywood movies)

>>713943856
I'm sure he does too. I'm just saying that the models are stylized and not true to reality. It's not a bad thing just the truth.

>>713935623
Shut up, Disney

>>713935068 (OP)
Real reason is there aren't many Hollywood Asians he can find for his movies. Maybe Shang Chi guy unless he's under the leash of Disney.
