"Marvel's Wolverine" will launch exclusively on PS5 on September 15. A new trailer was recently revealed at the State of Play event, featuring characters like the mutant Mystique. The character models immediately sparked heated discussion online.
Mystique's classic look in the comics and X-Men films features blue skin, vibrant red short hair, a seductive and dangerous appearance, and highly recognizable feminine curves. However, her model in this game has sharp facial features, an overall androgynous vibe, and conservative clothing design. Many players criticized the model for losing the character's original charm, finding the look jarring. Some players compared her and other female characters like Lady Deathstrike side-by-side, pointing out the huge discrepancy between these designs and their comic book counterparts. Some even stated that this has shaken their intention to pre-order.
A gaming content creator shared fan-made edits restoring Mystique to her classic look as recognized by fans. Placing these alongside screenshots from the game's original version further amplified the topic's热度 due to the stark contrast. Community discussions have split: some players believe the realistic design completely ruins Mystique's character identity, while others argue that the trailer showcases specific angles and lighting conditions, noting that expressions and lighting affect visual perception, and suggest waiting until the game's release to make a final judgment.
