Will you be able to leverage the assets you've captured/created for your hero characters, into the player character customization? We know we'll be able to blend between various predefined faces in order to create our own for instance. Will these predefined ones include the hero faces that you've made for SQ42?asked by Amontillado

TL;DRPlayers will not get the celebrity character faces, but hundreds of scanned individuals can be blended, so a player could build a lookalike from them; the specific hero assets stay reserved.

Like could you have Mark Hamill's nose?

[Laughs] No. So the players will not have access to the celebrity character list from what I've been told, so no. But we have scanned hundreds.

Including me!

Yes, hundreds of individuals so you can blend between those. Potentially you could frankenstein a Mark Hamill's nose if you wanted I guess, but you would have to, you can't just be like "Oh mark hamill's nose", you would have to construct it together with your creativity.

I have to say it was really awesome to be able to be head scanned, it was one of my favourite experiences so far when I was out in England. I got a chance to sit in a chair and have all those cameras go off and it was really cool and really creepy to see a 3D version of my head rotating around so hopefully all of you will be able to play using my enchanting eyes.

A bunch of mini wills running around the universe [laughs]. I think Metal Gear Phantom Pain they had a similar customization type of thing. Can I do spoilers?

Depends on what they are.

For the game, not our game.

If it's not for Star Citizen ****ing feel free!

Oh sweet! Alright.

Maybe I would say, "Hey I'm about to spoil Metal Gear Phantom."

We'll put a spoiler tag, there will probably be nothing here again.

Yeah, spoiler tag, alright spoiler figure, spoiler. For Metal Gear Phantom Pain there's a scene where snake has to have plastic surgery so the enemies won't recognize him. I literally flipped the table, how dare you do this to my snake. So what I did was I customized the character for him to look exactly like the original snake [laughs]. So I literally spent like 3 hours, I printed a picture of snake, slapped it on my TV and almost make it exact. So kind of how this leads into your question is you could probably stitch something together with our big database of scans to make the face that you want. So you might look like Mark Hamill, but we won't be giving you that specific asset.

We want to keep those reserved for the special characters.

It would be weird wouldn't it if in Squadron 42 Mark Hamill is mentoring you and you look like Mark Hamill.

Then you would just assume he went to the same plastic surgeon as you did [laughs]. Especially picked out nose number 4.

Mark Hamill is a robot everybody, he is a clone.

Both

[Laugh]
