Damn! Ayane is my fav girl in DOA simply because she did have the slightly rounder face and baby fat cheeks. now shes just another purple haired generic anime girl!
Yes, the Ayane on the left (the colored picture) is much, much, much better. She looks great. A lot like how she appears in the DOA series -- if not better since she actually looks even more grown up. DOA 3 had Kasumi and Ayane and girls looking younger and more Ivy-boob'd, IMO. A look I didn't like at all.
So, they must had pushed up the 360 performance to render Ayane like that, but given the PS3 supperior processor, they beffed up and rendered her like they wanted in the begining, nice!!!
I actually thought the one on the right was the Sigma version.. Bleh, I got both consoles, glad I waited for the Sigma release :) I like the updated look because it's more in-line with how Ayane looks in DoA 4.. The one on the right makes her look a few years younger and as some has said, "fatty".
@paradox: The left one doesn't look that bad at all. The right one doesn't even look plastic like, it just looks like she's got pale and pasty skin with some odd hazy lighting.
@xxXX_Insanities_Birth_XXxx: True, it's not nearly as bad ar the DOA games, but you know that the picture is only 1/3 the size it would have been if it included her chest,
It just annoys me. Her previous aparence, with the more athletic build and long hair, was fine. I understand what whatever she was wearing under that armor had to be pretty snugg, but they could have presented it a bit more tastefully.
@mrantimatter: Well, her games weren't turning that much of a profit, so rather than putting more effort into into making or marketing her games, they just decided to sex her up. That's what the Fans Want!
Though the one on the right isn't awful, the left one is definitely an improvement - her features are less squashed and she looks like more of an ass kicker.
Well I've played Ninja gaiden 2 quite a bit and she doesn't look that bad. Clearly a bad shot but I do see the graphical update and think that's good. She looks a bit thinner too which is nice.

PS: I'd rahter had Kasumi than Ayane. Any time.

She looks better on Sigma 2. I'm sure it has nothing to do with system performance but 3d modeling.

Nintendo leaving one of gaming's first and greatest female heroes in their grabby hands should be some kind of criminal offense.

The same nintendo that stuck their strongest female character in a skin tight bodysuit and a ponytail, right?
As for plastic characters in DOA, they aren't trying to be fully realistic. It's always been a very anime inspired series.

Really? I thought sigma was just like the 360 release but with some extra features.

Oh I would have noticed that if a comma replaced the period in the last two sentences.
Forgive my broken sarcasm meter.

She has always looked anime dollish, ever since at least DoA 2 and she looks more like her NG1 version.
Right one is a attempt at making a more realistic face and failing horribly.
