Where's the grime and decay? What was the point of making him so clean looking? Where's the eye hole on the front of the helmet?

100% agree, I don't like how he moved in the trailer either, he literally looks like a cosplayer.

And what's up with his animations? completely moves like a normal human, and where is the great knife?

Masahiro Ito made this new version though.

This is what masahiro ito believe the pyramid looked like with updated graphics. He is the creature designer after all.

He's coming in from the pouring rain. It's not like taking a nap in the washing machine, but he wouldn't be covered in dirt, either. The way he moved rather realistically caught my attention as well and while I understand people don't want such changes, it got me excited, to be honest. The thought of PH moving like a regular guy makes him even more creepy to me. Don't even know why, probably just seems unnatural with that helmet,

I will take your post seriously, I don't think you're trolling.

but I disagree, it made it look like a animated cosplayer, like it's a joke ending, he'll remove his helmet and it'll be Kojima under the helmet kind of joke ending.

pyramid head had that weird tongue thing that would come out from one of the holes in the helmet, not to mention the mound of flesh hanging out the back, walking around like he's a guy wearing a orange traffic cone and looking so clean really worries me.

it's strange to me that most people don't like james new look, but seemun phased by pyramid heads seemingly normal look.

But to each their own I suppose

No one realized that PH has a tongue. It was too obscure and small that you couldn't realize it without zooming at it's 3D model.

This guy had no idea what scene he was watching lol

Ito didn't personally render and texture this model. Him designing something does not mean that Bloober is going accurately recreate that design. Given how the art he posts on Twitter is so textured looking, including new art of Pyramid Head, I'm going to go ahead and say that Bloober is responsible for his overly sanitized appearance here.

He was overlooking the monster design... Stop being so nitpicky. What if Ito likes it? Would you still hate it?

[KripTed]

I mean in that part in the trailer. It was raining. Do you expect him not to get wet?

[The Professor]

All the creature designs look too clean, with normal, human skin tones.

he has a grab attack where he literally attacks james with it, it's cannon in the original SH2

I can't complain, anything is better than this:

PH never had an eye though, that's a bolt and something similar is actually right there on the model:

funny enough, as I fully disagree, at least you'd think twice before attacking the pyramid head from the movie, this new one... I'd whoop his as the first encounter if I didn't think it was a prank or homeless cultist in a rusty helmet.

the dead by daylight model is better, and that's not even unreal 4 engine.

that being said, I'd like a upgrade of the original, or at least a more other world design of him, this remake pyramid head feels like someone who has never played the game copied a picture of a cosplayer when designing him.

I get some people like it, but I'm really put off by it, its the main thing that has me questioning the overall quality of the game, everything felt ok, good enough or even great, but that design is giving me warning signals.
