Everyone is talking about a daring outfit

earthpressnews

The new PlayStation 5 game, Stellar Blade, has made headlines with its heroine Eve, who is based on a body scan of a South Korean model. After a demo started accidentally, Eve is the topic of the hour again: This time it’s about one of her outfits in the demo, a skin suit that hides very little.

This is the discussion about Stellar Blade:

  • Stellar Blade is an action-adventure game set to release on April 26th for the PS5. The big theme of the game is the heroine Eve: She was created based on a body scan of a South Korean model.
  • The images of the heroine have sparked a discussion that games from Asia rely on attractive, perhaps even unrealistic, beautiful figures, while in the West such models have been recognized and criticized as an “unrealistic beauty ideal” and studios are trying to draw protagonists more realistically – for example with the heroine Aloy.
  • However, the developers of Stellar Blade take a clear opposing stance, saying they wanted to play characters that are prettier than themselves.

    A demo accidentally started in the PS Store

    This is the new topic: A demo of Stellar Blade went live in the PS5 store for a very short time on March 9th. This was apparently just an oversight and Sony quickly removed the demo, but some users were able to download and play the demo for Stellar Blade from the PlayStation Store.

    The short time the demo was online was enough for players to take a look at Stellar Blade skins and spread them on social media.

    The “skin suit” in particular is being discussed. A video about the skin received 9,415 likes and 562 comments on Twitter.

    As US site Dexerto writes, the outfit “leaves very little to the player’s imagination.”

    So in other words: the figure is almost naked.

    Other outfits from the demo, which show Eve in black or a diving suit, trigger far fewer reactions.

    Apparently Stellar Blade has found a way to attract attention.

    We have already reported on the debate about beauty standards: New PS5 game uses 3D scan of a model as a template for heroine – scoffers say: “In the West she would be ugly”
