@Beelzeblob. 2 жыл бұрын
From what I remember, and to be fair, I only looked into this briefly when the game first got remastered, but they changed the model to more resemble the voice actor. Maybe it helped the facial animations and expressions? Idk, I'm not even sure if they used face motion capture. But it would make some type of sense, from a design standpoint.
@woteveruk1 2 жыл бұрын
@@Beelzeblob. yeah, thats the reason they gave, that the bones in the face didnt match up correctly, but to be honest, i never believed that, he looked and sounded great in the original, and if they really felt the face didnt match the voice correctly, why not use a different face or different voice to begin with, it would make sense if they changed it halfway through making the original, but releasing the original, and then 2 years alter changing it, that makes less sense to me
@koconnell968 2 жыл бұрын
I didn't particularly love the original, but at least it did its own thing. The face update was definitely to look like Tom Holland and also had the added effect of making him look like a baby when he's an adult man in a grad research program or whatever. It was especially noticeable in the Miles Morales game when seeing them next to each other and looking almost the same age.

X-2 is underrated as heck.
