Just looked Celebrity Character Creation video from Guild Wars 2 Beta and was really suprised to see there face of Slayers_MMA

Creator also made some very famous faces like Liam Neeson, Clint Eastwood, Megan Fox and Scarlett Johansson.

Damn... beat me to it.

I really could have done more with the last 3 minutes of my life though. Not really impressed to be honest.

Looks nothing alike to be honest. If I was to meet any of these characters in game I wouldn't recognize them. Not sure what the point of that vid was...

I really like the character creator, I'll give it that. Other than that I wouldn't say these characters are that similar to their real-life models, more likely I'd say it's a commercial stunt. I'm sure there would be lots of people interested in a game if they hear that you can play as a perfect replica of Megan Fox or Scarlett Johansson for example.

That doesn't even look like MMA. It looks like a kid going to a Linkin Park concert.

It's always surprising how you can't make an asian looking character is most games while a major portion of consumers are probably asian. And yea, looks nothing like MMA ;\

Oh come on you guys -.- It doesn't even matter whether he looks like MMA. The average Guild Wars buyer has probably little exposure to competitive starcraft, especially the korean scene, this is free advertising forr Slayers, MMA, every league he ever played in and Starcraft 2. If anything we should be super happy and grateful, and not bitch about whether the ingame char actually looks like him or not. If only one person who watched this video and has no idea about esports/competitive starcraft googles MMA and becomes interested, this is already super awesome in my eyes.

Does guild wars not have asian skin?

Also hairstyles that look good on Asians look terrible on white kids. If there isn't a Tumblr with a collection of pictures with white guys trying to rock kpop hairstyles there should be.

I thought both Liam Neeson and Clint Eastwood were amazing, looked a ton like the real deals. Least impressive was definitely MMA.

It's not bitching, people just comment on the video based on what they think about it, because why wouldn't they? Not everyone has this esports agenda wired into their brain to look at everything as advertising and be excited and grateful every time somebody does something possibly related to Starcraft outside of TL.net. (for reference, this was bitching -_-)

Besides, it's not just MMA, none of the others really look anything like the person they're modeled on either.

It doesn't matter at all if the character looks like MMA or not - matters that MMA was actually mentioned and his real photo was in this video. However, given that he won Blizzard Cup 2011 and also the GSL Final at Blizzcon 2011 - he's quite likely to be recognized by gamers that aren't even that interested in SC2, so it's not that surprising. Still kinda cool about the popularity of SC2 and thanks for sharing!

Well it's quite hard to be positive looking at that character creator, or in the least the poor job that the person making the characters did. If you are going to be making a "look-a-like" stuff for promotion of your game, you better make sure that they actually look a like.

Sadly they didn't make it public it'd seem, but when EVE was updating their character creator, the developers had a contest who could replicate themselves the best using it. That was actually truly cool, because the amount of detail that can be done in the EVE creator is astounding. Maybe it is also in guild wars, but then that video did extremely poorly in showing it.

On a positive note, good to see MMA in a random video like that...

I don't see how this is true at all. There's no way someone could see the neeson and eastwood characters and not know which celibrity they represented, it's clear as day, which means it does look a like. Few character editors can even get close.

The editor looks nice and I can at least see that they tried to make MMA, so it's not bad.

I quite liked it, sure it's not the most detailed or accurate but anything more is just superfluous and unnecessary. Even faces of your characters in the first game were rather pointless outside of towns since the only thing you really see is the hair and whatever armour they're wearing

That's mainly to do with the "Asian" continent in the GW universe isn't playable in GW2 and will be touched on in the expansions. Very much like in GW1, where the asian themes characters and their homeland were introduced in the first expansion
