How come RE or some/most games don't create long haired girls?

Just a useless nonsense question..

I'm Pretty "Hmmp" that some games including RE don't make a lot of long haired girls.. If they do..
she's either just an extra, a lusty NPC, or the hair is tied

How come? even new chars. like Sherry/Helena.. Is it because they're in an action packed world
that they don't have time to grow pretty hairs? Or it's logical because they're gonna think their hair
would just get in the way? Or is it because she'd look too flashy?? But when i see leading ladies on action MOVIES. most of them have Long hair..

Even the new ones in Operation raccoon don't have even ONE char. that has a long wavy hair.

I for one think introducing a girl char. with long untied hair would "refresh" the games characters.. Though i also think it's pretty late considering they've already introduced a lot of new characters (piers, helena, carla, jessica etc.)

Making this topic kind of reminds me of "Rachel" the one with bangs.. hahaa..

Bingo.Ponytails are more practical on the battlefield,because the long hair get in the way...a lot.

I wonder why Leon covers his eye with his hair. Wouldn't aiming be harder?

Well that explains why he needs a laser to aim.

Seriously though while it would be a little bit harder, he'd still be able to see through his hair enough to aim, and he could just move it out of the way when he uses a scope.

What? Sherry does have short hair. Sherry, Ada, Rebecca, Jill had short hair, and when she grew it out she put it in a pony tail. What do you mean? Claire and Sheva have ponytails. Even Ashley has short hair.

I knew i was right on that part!

But then? RE and their girls are pretty unexpected anyways.. Jill wearing a skirt, or Ada wearing a red dress. It's understandable if zombies appeared on a party or something.. Don't you think having LONG hair is more practical and it fits much more on the game than a long dress(not to mention the heels)?

So, If Capcom had the guts to make their girls wear something not "fit-for-battlefield." How is a girl with naturally long hair affect the "Realism" of the series? If their intention was to make their characters look more marketable for the people.. wouldn't long haired girls HELP?

Even Ashley has short hair? She's not even an agent or something.. Hahaa..

What? I didn't say that the new introduced characters have LONG hair. I meant that it's sorta late to introduce a new long haired character that will last in to the series.. cause they have already put a lot of new characters.. So I don't see them making a new one.. they'll probably just "recycle" the characters they have, for now..

Avoid double posting. It's some sort of forum rule. I'm still not sure why it's outlawed, but hey, Tv.com was like this at some point as well.

Cuz he's a Scene Kid.

@Papeface, idk, but I'm not a fan of short hair. Becca, Sherry, etc.

I wondered what Jill might look like with long hair, I've seen Julia Voth with long hair, it might look ok. Alexia had long hair, but she was a crazy hoe.

You mean what she might look like if she had her hair down? Because she definitely does have fairly long hair.


It's weird how there are no pictures of her without the ponytail anywhere online. I tried my best and only found this ridiculous thing:

Uhh… okay. You lost me. I have no idea what point you're trying to drive at, and it makes little sense.

@Mass: my word, that is incredibly creepy.

We've seen her with her hair down, REmake, and we've seen her with long hair, RE5, though it was up in a ponytail. But we haven't seen it long and down, that's what I mean. Though I've seen Julia Voth with her hair long and down, so I have an idea of what Jill would look like. It's pretty, but maybe it wouldn't get in the way too much, I mean Helena has fairly long hair. And it's down.

Not really. A ponytail can get caught on something or be grabbed just as easily as hair worn out can. The typical regulation for long-haired women, at least in the US military, is a sock bun (or whatever it's called).



The most practical course would be to shave your head, but very few women are going to go that route.

Edit: And besides, long flowing hair isn't exactly easy to animate.

Awwwh, GL knows all the cute hairstyles.

Maybe you can gimme some tips.

Thought that too.. It's going to be hard to make the caracters hair move a lot while still looking the way it should be..
But the DOA girls have pretty accurate hair.. Bangs don't move but the ends do.. So the her hair's moving but it's still the way it should be

Cause you have no idea how hard it is to make a hair that high definition, CG animated and 3D graphics what so ever that called. Imagine if all the ladies of RE had long hair probably the sketch artists and the game designer called it quits. That is so freaking hard.

As a matter of fact. Ask Pixar about hair animation and how hard it is.

You're right Missy. I liked you're hair work on, which game was it again?

I think they did good with Helena in RE6.

I actually do I think they're getting the hang of it though.. Deborah's hair movements on her CG cutscene was pretty good.. I'm still hoping they'd have atleast ONE character that has TIFA length hair. If Enix can do it(they have a lot).. why can't capcom right?
And in RE:1 - 3. Their hairs don't even move at all(except in cg cutscenes)..

EDIT:
search "realistic character hair" on youtube.. wish they had one that looks like that!

Haha because people consider girls with short hair hotter?... Idk, i dont have short hair. But lol, hey, consider this, that Curtis guy from Degeneration had long hair and he's a guy...

Curtis Miller was kinda lame.

BTW, you got a cool sig and avy. Where'd you get those from. It looks like DSC Claire, but I don't recognize those scenes from DSC...it certainly isn't from Degeneration.

Her signature is definitely from Operation Raccon City. But I can't tell where her avatar is from…

K figured it out. I din't recognize the ORC one. Go figure. But her avy is totally from DSC. It's the scene where Chief Irons mutates, or rather that G creature tears him apart from the inside. And it's head hit the light, very cool and creepy scene.

Yea, he is. Haha.

Oh and i got my signature gif from tumblr . I looked for it specifically cos one of my favourite greetings of Claire was 'hi there. BOOM.' from RE:ORC. Yea, it looks like from DSC cos of the costume, but the scene itself was from ORC .

Ah. I never actually played DSC. I didn't want to spend the money for Resident Evil Sparknotes, I felt that Umbrella Chronicles was a let down.
