What did they do to Bayley??

[shonasof]

I know a lot of the faces aren't terribly accurate, but I nearly spit out my drink the first time I saw poor Bayley!

They made her look like a balloon with a receding hairline that makes me think of a doll that a 3 year old gave a haircut to.

I really hope they fix this because she doesn't deserve this kind of representation. No one does.

What you are seeing is actually the second version of Bayley as the original one they showed right before the game came out was even worse.

They always do Bayley dirty, but 2020 version was the worse. This is actually an step up lol

I'm going to have to go pull that up. Wow.... x.x

I pulled out 2k20 and I don't think she's that bad. But to be fair, EVERYONE looks like a semi-amateur CAW. Not using actual photos in the character selection really hurts the presentation.

One thing they did better then 2K24 is that the women's champions wear their belts properly in 20, where in 24 the belts are oversized and orbit a distance away from the woman's waist.

I too think she looked relatively accurate in this one. For the days when Baley got less makeup on. These existed. Compared with older games it's really good.

Io Sky on the other hand. Like damn, she has such a beautiful even face iRL, but the ingame version looks like someone flattened the front to pancake levels. From the side it looks okay, but I can't get over the frontal view.

I just hope the will make a decent Kairi... like the last time she appeared in the 2k series was a while ago and did not really look like her in the face. I mean we're waiting until September for her and pay extra, she better be on a level with CM Punk accuracy levels.

They still can't get Bret Hart's hair right either.

What's wrong with it?

It's too fluffy. Looks really weird specially in motion.

2k19 and older games had better looking (sleeker) Bret Hart hair.

EDIT: Fixed image link

Hair is hard to pull off well with how they're trying to layer it and give it somewhat realistic physics. It's always the weakest part of these models.

But there's still no excuse for Bayley's half-bald head. Apparently Bayley herself had a reaction to it: https://imgur.com/a/nkZvP4C

Now that you mention it... it does look very fluffy! Had not thought about it before. But then again really long hair for example on Becky Lynch looks strange too. As if strains of hair were being glued together and then move independently from another.

In fact now that I think about it - I can't name one single game where hair was not being problematic. In older games the hair was not moving but then clipped through clothing. In Unreal 4 games the hair had terrible textures. In Unreal 5 the movement is wack.

That image is the first version and after Bayley posted that 2K actually updated the model to what is in game now.

What's in game now really isn't much better, sadly.
