Stellar Blade director Kim Hyung-tae was inspired to start making games by PS1 classics like Ridge Racer and Final Fantasy after being "too poor" to afford a gaming console as a child.
Stellar Blade Director Recommends Players Wear Clothes, Where Possible | Push Square
05.04.2024 - 09:17 / pushsquare.com / Hyung-Tae Kim
Stellar Blade is launching exclusively on PS5 at the end of the month, on 26th of April, and anticipation is high amongst enthusiasts for the appealing action RPG. We love what we've played so far. Still, not an insignificant amount of attention is directed at the game due to its more aesthetic attributes and the many eye-catching outfits on offer for protagonist Eve.
Shift Up director Hyung-Tae Kim is aware of the effect these outfits have had upon the fanbase. In an interview with Famitsu (thanks, GamesRadar+), he reiterated that the rather revealing NSFW Skin Suit, in particular, is not for the faint of heart. Masochistically, it will remove players' shielding, and «the gameplay difficulty will increase dramatically, so I recommend that you wear clothes as much as possible».
Kim goes on to explain that the Skin Suit is, in fact, made of a skin-like fabric, which is why it is spread so very tightly across Eve's body. This passes muster for us. We're glad Kim hasn't gone the Kojima Metal Gear Solid V route on this one. Who could forget when the auteur creator suggested we would all feel ashamed for wondering why Quiet had to wear her <a href=«https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/597687270284468224?ref_src=» https:>unique outfit
? Spoilers: it ended up being because she needed to breathe through her skin.
Finally some good f*cking food
Would you Adam and Eve it?
What will you be wearing while playing Stellar Blade? What's the most out-there justification for a particular outfit in gaming? Present your case in the comments section below.

With five years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.
I mean this is practically like any RPG where you take off all of your armor you take more damage so it's whatever.
Where can I see this skin? You see I'm very interested in keeping up with video game news. I'm something of an enthusiast… and I neeed to see it
It looks like the skin suit has more jiggle physics… so yea, worth the extra pain
