That, in my mind makes sense. That is the generalist shape. What I am saying is that the giants are deities in Norse Mythology. In the Greek trilogy, they did not hesitate to give inhuman characteristics to supernatural beings. What changed this time? Why make these guys indistinguishable from humans even undisguised? Why not make them somewhat inhuman?

Good question and I'm going to take the lazy route out and blame it on incompetence. It's probably at least 90% of the reason. Artists, programmers etc don't have the creativity or ability to make anything other than "human but blue" or "human, but with horns".

Are Indians allowed to draw/create non-human entities? Or is it against their religions? (Clutching at straws I know but I wonder if there's an ideological component to having no cool alien designs, because you're right, there aren't any).

What was the last, cool, non-human design that worked well? Khajits? Cyberpunk? Witcher?
 
Some GTA VI news from Sony:

Rockstar Games has added "title IDs" for GTA VI onto the PlayStation Store, which evidently indicates that preorders would come soon.

And this screenshot of a tweet:

More credence that Sony is all-in regarding GTA VI in association for/with PlayStation.

I mean, even that is fine. Hermes was just a Super Saiyan (a design that should have been used for Helios but anyway), I would not complain if it was "human but something". Giants are natural shape-shifters after all. Loki has that ability in spades. Maybe he got it from mom. Even Baldur saw Kratos as a pale-as-a-ghost muscleman and assumed he was a giant. Maybe giants should be tall, muscular and have weird skin colors. But nope, Faye is just human.

Yes! Asuras for one! Or did you forget how inhuman their gods tend to look?

Hard to say... Depends?

I know they look cool, from a design standpoint, but I didn't know if drawing other creatures similar was blasphemy, like how you can't draw allah,

First or third person AAA games. Not indie slop or budget games. Proper blockbusters.

I mean, they ARE shape-shifters. The truly gigantic one were rare. Just a bit tall would be fine. At least tall that ancient humans would exaggerate their size. Like what we did with the Lastrigonians.

We know what they look like BECAUSE we have seen drawing of them. Asura's Wrath, Zoro from One Piece, Final Fantasy, Naruto had that too.

I will go the cheating route and say Tieflings. People know those now due BG3. They ARE a bit old but not to the mainstream. The Avatar aliens are also well known.

But from videogames SPECIFICALLY? The Asari.

How long until they revert that decision because its leaving too much money on the table ? Especially with the high probability that a potential PS6 might get pushed even farther into the future like 2029/2030 ? Because apart from third party (GTA 6) and their already established revenue streams ( PS+) I don't really see what's going to keep the shareholders happy.

too little, way too fucking late to do that because now the PS5 will have games.... after most of what should have been it's games went to PC and the PS5 is dead in the water because there is no fucking games for it.

How much do you want to bet that they're doing this because the Switch 2 is still outselling the PS5 even with the Black Friday "win" just like that fucking Japan region locked PS5 model?
 
Considering only a couple of weeks ago the latest SIE financial report went on record saying they were going to nickle and dime their existing playstation fanbase to make up for increased component costs I doubt these rumors are anything but sony fanboy coping.
 
I just love how Sony's strategy to combat rising RAM and storage prices boils down to squeezing their existing users for everything they are worth. It is so fitting because their user base is so ideologically invested on the brand that they'll not be dissuaded by these rising costs without any added benefits and will continue paying out the ass for the privilege of being undiscerning consumers.
 
VideoCardz: Modder turns PlayStation 5 into Linux gaming PC, runs GTA 5
Nguyen said the setup only works with a full chain exploit such as Byepervisor, which is aimed at older firmware. The public Byepervisor repository says that support for PS5 firmware in the 1.xx to 2.xx range. That means this remains limited to a small pool of older, unpatched systems.

I ported Linux to the PS5 and turned it into a Steam Machine. Running GTA 5 Enhanced with Ray Tracing. 🤯

✅ 4K HDMI Video + Audio
✅ All USB ports

Currently running at 3.2 GHz CPU & 2.0 GHz GPU. It can be boosted to 3.5 GHz CPU and 2.23 Ghz GPU, but my PS5 slim model overheats too quickly.

I would have picked up some cheap used PS5 to use as a PC years ago if it were possible.
