"...More lore is coming, but we took a Cowboy Bebop direction with the characters: they're outcasts and freelancers and working class, not millionaire superheroes."

they designed the game for the working class in mind, not focused on billionaires wannabe designs like D.Va and Juno. they just like me fr fr

Huh... it might be just me, but I am seriously missing the obese person with trash glued to them in this show? The dog is a little round but that's just corgis.

So why is there no character inspired by Faye Valentine?

No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kidding.

[methoxetamine]

absolutely disrespectful to even utter the words "Cowboy Bebop" alongside this pozzed SLOP. they must be talking about the Netflix version.

Leave it to Muricans to chop one of the best Japanese anime.

Yeah, the irony of it. I bet if they (or the consultancy company they engage) could have their way with Faye, they would do away entirely with her iconic cleavage and make her obese and her face all pimply, darken her skin tone, while wrapped up in a business suit.

If one thinks that the netlix version of her was bad (too far away from her original design), the concord version would likely be even worse.

this is an insult to cowboy bebop which had an excellent art direction and character design. this game's character design looks nothing like cowboy bebop.

That's the main point they took away from cowboy bebop? Lol.

It's such a generic and superficial takeaway that practically any game could claim to be "inspired" by it because most characters could fit that bill. Witcher game characters such as Geralt, characters from the Last Of Us, characters from Resident Evil, characters from Star Wars, even freaking naruto and bob the builder.

This is just sheer desperate name-dropping of a storied franchise.

[Star Rain]

Hmm this is true but only because the GOTG game took a similar approach, where the starship is like the motley crew's apartment, etc.

Haha even an skinny as a rail one like the show would help haha.

[Termix]

Haha even comparing this game in any point to Cowboy Bebop is freaking offensive.

Also nice to see that they copied the general setting of something successful and turned it into something unsuccessful.
