As I flipped through updated video and still shots of Heavenly Sword something occured to me -- as the game is being developed and refined, the lead character Nariko has changed a bit. She no longer looked like the angry stylized toon we first saw last year. In fact, the last update by Ninja Theory featured a near photo-realistic image of her. I ran through some of the older screenshots and posted a comparison of the noted changes.
They're all similar, but I think I prefer the older fiery haired one a bit. Maybe they're just environmental lighting differences, but some things (like the headband) are definitely different. In-game item wardrobe changes perhaps?
(Note: No relation to Nagiko)

reminds me of the look of jade from half life vs. the jade from boyde good and evil
wait what's going on? Near photo-realistic image rox my cox I say.
But the 1st picture looks better. The hair in the latest looks like lame, although theres not a lot of games than get the hair right.
Grim : thinking the exact same thing!
the initial 2006 stuff was all based around a more powerful PS3. the orignial shots are easily more stylistic, but they are more detailed when you look at it. The shadows are better, the bandanna looks like it has depth, the hair is more details. the new shot has a lot softer look and maybe that is why it looks more realistic.
but i think this is the result of the PS3 under performing initial thoughts.
Apparently I'm the only person on this planet that is sick and tired of the same look on female video game characters
Nagiko's not.
