Mainly, it's just the generic body type of a hero, coupled with blandly handsome looks. Oh yeah, he used to be bald too. | ||

He still has the same nose. -_-;; That must be Raynor. If Rock can go 180, Raynor can too. | ||

I don't think the new look is bad but I always associated Raynor with Bruce Willis and now he doesn't look like bad ass Bruce at all. Let's see what they will make of it. | ||

Increasingly, its becoming more clear by recent events and designs, that this games seems to be more oriented to more idiotic denizens of the Bnet forums and the stupid ignorant dicks of WCreplays. This got me thinking about what is happening to the Fallout series. The companies of today are killing the classics of yesterday. | ||

The fact is, if they hire a new person to voice Raynor, it's going to force a psychological reset and that, coupled with his new appearance will make him completely different from the old raynor. Actually, essentially, he would be a completely new character, the only thing in common being the name. Let's hope they bring back the voice actor. Well, they need to strike a balance between the old players (smaller base) and new (larger potential base) | ||

Raynor was a lot more interesting before, he looked like a scrub, but a scrub that was trying to save the world. Now he looks like an handsome older gentleman that drinks a bit too much a la Mel Gibson. They totally made him cliche. (I think I'll stop posting in this thread since I've repeated myself a couple of times already.) | ||

In other words, if you were harassed constantly by someone with endless resources and picking up the scum of the universe to finance a resistance save people who probably don't give a crap out about you, most people would have done it KC-style by now. | ||

SC on the other hand is grittier. The original Raynor looked like a normal guy. As did most of the other characters in the universe. Now, Blizzard is eroding that gritty, realistic feeling by making Raynor a suave looking, but internally tortured, hero. Pretty cliché. Just make Raynor look ordinary again, and have his actions be dramatic; as they are in SC. It's far more sophisticated that way, and that's why Blizzard is choosing the other route. For the kiddies. If you want an example of how this works, think of Alien. Would the series be as interesting if a more blandly beautiful actress played Ripley? No, because your first reaction would've been, "Oh I get it. Another beautiful woman is getting chased a monster/killer/stalker." And you would've stopped actively watching the movie. Now obviously, there are other things that make Alien a good movie, but the look of the all the actors and the sets and everything affect how your expectations and how you feel when you're watching it. Do a thought experiment for yourself. Take any movie you like and in your mind imagine how the certain scenes would go if you replaced the original actors with different ones. I guess this isn't super important since the single player story is more like a minor feature to the multiplayer part, but I think it's a boring, safer artistic direction to take. | ||

It's a slightly more sophisticated way of molding a hero. The first thing most people think of are handsome, muscular heroes; look at comic books for christ sake. Having a physically ordinary hero in the middle of great drama is a little less expected. Try thinking sometime, you might enjoy it | ||

But in the end its a matter of taste. Personally I prefer the old Jim over this new one. Remove the hair, less muscles / more fat. | ||

They need to go read the history that they wrote in starcraft. Jim Raynor according to Starcraft is 29 years old. Update says Jim Raynor and Tychus Findley fought in the same squad over 20 years ago..... So Jim Raynor was 9 years old when he was fighting with Tychus Findley??? | ||

Most of the errors can be 'explained away' with phrases like "halted aging during hypersleep" and "Protoss Dear Blizzard: Being thirty-three years old is not enough to qualify you of gray hair and having served time in a brig for insubordination twenty years ago. Lucy, you've got some 'splaining to do. | ||
