More Black hairstyles

Post » Tue Dec 01, 2015 10:10 pm

Well, we haven't seen all hairstyles yet but we can hope. Black men's hairstyles have never been represented well in videogames yet. They either go way overboard with a certain cut like in gtav.. (pattern cuts for everyone!) or they give you 3 options.. bald, low fro and high fro. Curly hair in general might be hard to do and make it look good or something. Loose curly hair, tight curly hair.. you just don't see much curly hair in video games. Hair color, eye color and skin color has never been all that well represented either.. it's why the first mods to usually come out are recolors of skin, eyes and hair.

I concur. It isn't like there's a bunch of hair relaxer in the post apoc or anything.

Not racist at all to want these, I am from Nashville and these haircuts are the norm around here. I know white people with corn rows. I don't see a problem.

If I can't make my character rock a boss hightop then I'm not buying this game. I only purchase games where I can role play as Kid at Play.

Yeah it would be cool to have more hairstyles like the OP suggests. A fade would take the same effort to cut and maintain as a mohawk (but would obviously easier to style), and dreads (I'm sure a lot of people of every race would have the kind that result from neglecting your hair in the post apocalyptic world) or cornrows make a lot more sense as far as ease/maintenance than the mohawk, fairy tails, pompadour, tunnel snake, etc...or relaxed/straightened hair.

I felt like there was too little variation in the hair of FO3/NV. You had the scraggly straight medium-short styles with a vew variations, the slicked back or pompadours(for women shoulder length girly hair) with a few variations, the bald/shaved with a few variations and the crazy ones like the mohawk.

So long as they have a full compliment of Argonian Spines/Spikes "hairstyles", full body modifications like piercings, tattoos etc, a whole range of contact lenses or just eye colour/design variations.

Yeah, and proper Lo Pan glowing eyes or light shooting out of my mouth, customisable sets of wings, an actual 3 headed guardian of hell dog, dragons, a whole cornucopia of mythological beasts, a kraken that hunts you through temporal rifts and a final overlord boss that consists of Nyan Cat breaking the fourth wall by manipulating your character like a kind of marionette.

Totally reasonable if you think about it.

I heard they were making a remake

OT: I wouldn't be surprised if they brought some of the Redguard specific hairstyles over from Skyrim, in an updated way of course.

How about fuller beards? more of us have full beards than wear them.

Post apocalypse they make sense, given conditions like razor burn (which you can get a profile for in the military) and a probable lack of chemical beard removers.

My beard and hair naturally grows in the pattern of Frederick Douglass.

Comb the hair back with an easy to make afro pick, the beard forward with same, do so good morning and night to keep it from getting tangled, pack down with palm, trim weekly at desired length, no special chemicals asude who a decent soap weelky or as needed. Combs out easier when wet, best with warm water, Probably how Mr. Douglass did it most of the time in the mid 1800s.

This

You ever try to rock a pomp IRL. As a person who uses pomade regularly I must say most greaser styles require a lot of work to look right, especially pomps.

Im all for more hairstyles if their going to include other styles that require styling.

Black people don't really seem to have that many hairstyles, to be fair.

Another Hollywood sacrilege. They should leave that classic alone. It'll no doubt be awful, just like that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake with "I'm so crazy" Johnny Depp.

Makes me sick and very, very angry.

I've never understood this mentality.

It in no way has an effect on your experience with the existing version, but somehow you feel upset enough about a remake you could care less about, to freak out about it.

You could just.. idk, not watch it, and enjoy the (still intact) version of it you've always appreciated, instead of stewing and carrying on about how sick a remake makes you?

You don't have to like a remake, you can say its garbage, doesn't stay true to the source, or whatever other problems remakes generally have , but to go on about how oh so very sick and angry it makes you?

Please...

the more styles the better, as for 'black' styles we don't know if a black culture excited (R and B, black power etc) so its up in the air about them been invented but why not chuck a few in just for a bit of fun

Yeah I can't imagine anybody but Kurt Russell as Jack Burton. I probably won't see the new one.

Why make a remake?

For money.

Take a cult classic that actually has some personality and flavour to it, make a crap new film as a "remake" and rake in the profits.

It's the worst kind of scum. Soulless, avaricious and it defecates upon the original.

Let's have Damian Hirst remake Van Gogh's Sunflowers with Rabbit Intestines. Mmmmm, classy. And yet, it'll make a fortune.

There is an inconceivably vast difference in the Art world between something that is genuinely entertaining or thought-provoking, and something that is a sanctimonious, pseudo-intellectual, disingenuous cash-in and it GREATLY offends a lot of artists to see a hack be lauded and praised because of industry nepotism and viral marketing!

I am offended because they cheapen the artistic merit by even being considered to be the same caliber as others who have put real passion into their work.

It is not art, it is poor entertainment and it is a sickening mockery of any form of quality.

THAT is why people hate such tasteless garbage as hollow remakes and your opinion actively damages and hurts the people trying to create something valuable. Hollywood will continue to produce this fecal matter if people continue to watch it and it turns a profit.

It's the American Dream; rampant consumerism turning art into industry. "Manufacturing innovation". It's a sham and it's a joke.

Edit : @TheCheshireKhajiit : Yeah, Kurt Russell is definitely one of my favourite actors from that era. I thoroughly enjoy John Candy's films too. Let's hope they don't try to remake those with some obnoxious turd like James Corden taking his role.

I'll probably not watch the new movie either. Out of protest. :P
