The RE Engine is the best thing that happened to Capcom since MT Framework. Just as efficient, can pull insane graphics at high framerates and they're using it for most of their IPs now.
She finally looks like she actually fits the premise of the game. And Capcom has been going ham with making their characters look more human than typical video game protagonists.
Actually Jill was supposed to be flying out of Raccoon City before the shit hit the fan. I'm not saying it's a proper travel attire but she wasn't going to RPD dressed like that.
Show this image to anyone before the game reveal and ask them which video game character this is. They will say Lara Croft. What was distinguishing about Jill Valentine in RE3 is not there. Even something as simple as the jacket round the waist would have helped a lot. Nothing about the design of new Jill is memorable. She's literally 2013 Lara Croft.

I love how she actually has some definition to her arms.

lol okay looking at it from the female version of generic white guy angle, this is pretty funny.
It's not just the photorealism but the clothing choices that don't sexualize or objectify the character that add to my appreciation of Jill's design. I appreciate that in my games, especially when you have so many games leveraging the female body as a tool to sell games. Here, Jill's form follows function and that's a breath of fresh air.
Well, aren't these renders? These are definitely not what the characters look like during actual gameplay. In gameplay, REMake 2 and ReMake 3 have DMC5 beat in terms of facial detail.
What was distinguishing about Jill was that she was a blatantly pandering character design made with a primarily straight male audience in mind. Which, considering the gaming industry's history with the character designs of women, right down to not even being able to design a giant spider as an actual giant spider.....
These are CG renders and Jill's face, outfit, an body in this game all used the same tech as RE7, 8, and DMC5.Looking at what Capcom can achieve, yeah something is def off about Jills face
God I hate what they made with NeroLooking at what Capcom can achieve, yeah something is def off about Jills face
Her hair is completely different. Her gear is different. Her tank tops are different.
Exactly, the classic outfit looks really bad and out-of-place with the more realistic character models.She's just about what I pictured, actually. Essentially reboot Lara with a blend of Milla Jovovich from the RE films. They're going for realism, not stylised.
Her classic outfit is an example of that. It looks silly and doesn't translate well. The default outfit is way more fitting and practical at the expense of being "generic", which is fine. If you don't like it, there'll be alternate outfits.
It really does. I’m glad it’s an option, but it looks super out of place in the RE Engine. Felt the same about Claire and Leon’s classic costumes in RE2Remake as well
Just reading this and other posts like it is mind boggling to me. Like, I look at the classic costume on new Jill and it's so clearly LEAGUES better than the drab outfit they put her in for the redesign. I'll 100% take a design that stands out and looks good over something being generic just for the sake of practicality any day of the week.
I guess it's just different mindsets. I don't care personally about characters having to look super flashy and hot and stand out all over.
Yeah, I mean I definitely get people having their own preferences and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm also the kind of person whose favorite design for Dante is still his DMC3 look.
The reason this looks odd on her is because the entire outfit is baggy. Compare with the old render pictured above of how it's supposed to fit. Kind of surprised they missed the mark a bit here.She's just about what I pictured, actually. Essentially reboot Lara with a blend of Milla Jovovich from the RE films.

I mean it's not unreal to wear that, but it kind of is in that situation, when dealing with zombies going to grab and bite you, and explosions and fire.
Leon's classic was okay. Claire's was only wrong because she doesn't wear the black t-shirt under or have gloves.
Yeah, I get that, it's just I don't really care about realism or practicality honestly. It's not what I want from my character designs. It's why I always enjoyed the snazzier and unrealistic bonus costumes in the RE games. Playing RE6 and having Chris run around in a kimono was awesome lol.
I guess this is what happens when you take series with a certain style and bring it next gen.
