Lead Character Animator says he will still have his smile (he's in t-pose so has no facial expressions attached)


Enjoy

    Only one big difference that I noticed is that he has a different emotion on his face (in old version, he's smiling).

    The size difference between the two heads alone is the most extreme change from these reworks yet.

    I'm not an Ace player, but for this update, I like what they've done.

    As Ace main I'd say it's look pretty good.

    The only little problem I have with it is that they've taken a bit of Ace's goatee away on the sides. I'd like to have that back but it wouldn't be big deal if they didn't.

    He's still smiling,the problem is that the edges of his mouth are not defined anymore so it's hard to see.

    He doesn't look as happy or as confident and that's really his character... They took that grin off his face.

    This is great, he actually looks serious now rather than a joker that doesnt care about the threat of death

    They gave him depression and made his head bigger.

    only thing I notice slightly different is his facial hair.

    That and they made his head bigger,otherwise it's just good old Ace but with improved textures.

    I'm interested to see what his other heads will look like with the new model

    Of this batch, I'd say this is the best one. Nea looks depressed, Min went from an Asian girl to a white dude (that's honestly what it looks like to me), and David's face doesn't look as beat up as it should and his head is too long.

    The only real complaint I have for Ace's rework is his goatee being too bright and not being complete. Oh, and his smile was removed... I think that's the biggest problem with any of these. The characters as they are now have vibrant personalities in the way their faces are. Now, these are being removed for a bland, uninteresting appearance.

    The best of the batch, but that's not saying much of anything.

    Ill miss the overt cocky smile.

    Some faces clearly needed reworks like Nea's. You dont have to change every character. Make his face more HD or whatever thats fine. I just don't get changing things for the sake of changing them.

    As long as I still have the Burt Reynolds head, I'm fine with changes.

    The tone deafness of BHVR is on full display with this one.

    I. Hate. His. Smile.

    I never wanted to play him outside of doing his adept or challenges tied to him because of his smile. I found it truly creepy.

    I'm glad they changed it. I might play with him to see how I feel now. I know, I'd see only his back while playing but I can't remove his smile from my mind.

    God, I pray to all the gods that his smile will return. Seriously that was his thing

    They say its a work in progress and subject to changes, but I can totally see them saying that this took "months of work" and changing it again just isn't an option.

    His smile and optimism: Gone.

    Oh no, he's hot!

    As an Ace main, I think this one is pretty good. However his goatee is a bit too light in color, and his facial animation looks incomplete. Other than that, not bad! I just hope they make his goatee darker.

    The smile needs to come back. That's what made Ace great, is the smile. Without that, the punch of character is missing. He's just... an old dude now.

    For what it's worth the screenshots are of a t-posed 0 animation or facial expression, he'll likely have the smirk.

    I don't get why they gave him Grey beard/hair instead of the black he had before. Pretty disappointing there. He also needs his smirk back.

    people really failing to grasp to concept of a default face without any specific emotion tied to it...


    you can see on the "old" one. it was always grey/greying now it's just more grey.

    I have not liked any of these and I don't like this one. They just look worse every time they change them.

    He looks pretty much the same to me.

    He doesn't look as smug and optimistic as he did prior - I don't like it. The video helps get an idea but just something about the way his lips are it looks like duck face if anything. What sells it on the older Ace model is the smirk kind of favors one side a bit more like a crooked grin. New model doesn't look like that.

    I'm fine with the other adjustments but Ace just looks angry now tbh.

    Loved it, always disliked Ace now I might give him a go

    Love it a lot...that's why I completely stopped playing "old" characters cause their faces had just 2 expressions...a regular one...and screaming on hook one. Ace always looked to me like a creepy uncle tbh, now he actually looks normal...same with other old style characters, cause they no longer will loook like having something up their butts.

    I'm wondering if their portrait will change as well to fit the remodel.

    Was there an ETA for these model reworks? If so I've missed it. Thanks.
