This is pretty random and i'm sure the answer is pretty obvious, but does anybody else think that Alessa looked really cheezy in this game.

Yeah, the original was for psp but everybody else looked somewhat great, and she just looked kinda round and unscary. Even on my PS2 where the graphics are "better" she still looks a mess.

as you can see, I voted that I didn't care because I thought since she was 7 years old, she would have a pudgy face, right?
but i am confused on why in origins the astral projection image of her is 7 while in 1st she's 17?

wait, I think i just answered my own question...
because during those times the alessa that is 7 is using astral projection from the very minute just like the burned alessa used her projection at that very minute!
DUH-DA-DE! :idea:

Hmm, that's true. You always answer my questions.
I would just think they'd work on her a bit more so she didn't look so 'normal'

There is no denying that the art concepts for the characters were completely different from that of the other series. Lisa didn't look at all like the original SH game, even if she was supposed to portray a younger version of herself. I did like The Orders robes and costume concept. It completed the ceremonial perspective of the cult.

Oh gosh, I hated their robes!

I do not understand the question. How would you expect a normal seven year old girl to look? She looks normal. Why would she look different? She does become more sinister looking toward the end of the game when she gains more control over her powers.

Think about. She was a natural born witch. She grew up being anything but normal, so when she had the chance to project the image of herself as a normal girl, why would she do anything else. And toward the end of the game, she embrases her powers to get back at her mother and the cult, she becomes darker, because she wants them to fear her. Even her hair grows darker to reflect her dark intentions.

I am just making a comparison in art, not necessarily the general look of a seven year old girl.

In Origins, she's 7. In the 1st game, she's 14, just like the Astral Image. The games are 7 years apart, do the math.

For once I agree with Aura, I"m not good at math. But I can definately see the addition there.. 7 plus 7 14. Sometimes 14 year olds look a bit older than they are.. it all depends on genetics.

I do think she looked completely different, even considering she was 7 years younger. I mean, I know kids change their looks as they get older but I think they totally changed her apart from the clothes on Origins. Oh well, it didn't bother me anyway, just something I noticed.

I was just answering your question on why she looked different ages, you don't need to get huffy.

In 0rigins, Alessa looks a little bit more gothish, nearly the same as Alice in "American McGee's Alice". But she doesn't look nothing like Cheryl, Alessa or Heather.

I don't like the face, it kinda gives me the creeps. Little girls really are evil.

Honestly, weather she was 7 or whatever it's obvious that she kept showing up when everything went wrong. So why should she look so average. I would think that some girl that keeps crossing over with my memories (if i were travis) would have to look alittle more creepier than that.

sorry about that earlier, I had a rough night last night at work and I guess I was still iffy about it this morning, and when people nitpick about the small things, I snapped. it was uncalled for.
again sorry for aura and david :oops:

Aww. Well sorry that I 'nitpick on small things,' if you were refering to me.
I was just wondering on what other people though. I didn't want to upset anyone or anything.

I was angry at them and I got easily offended when they were right that she wasn't 17 but 14.
I was kind of a sore loser there for a minute, but I'm letting it slide.

No one is a loser on these forums, we're all winners. We all just have different opinions.. and that's the purpose of a forum to discuss all our different opinions. So you're cool, and no offense was taken whatsoever. :wink:

I agree. I hated how the characters look in this. Alessa or Lisa didn't look like them. "Original" Silent Hills have something special in each face and it looks like they have been designed by professionals. Of course it's pretty obvious it's from the different team so it looks different. But I don't like it.
