I didn't see anything wrong with the lady's clothes. The armor part didn't look that realistic, but it's fine that it wasn't showing any skin. I don't mind if some of the outfits are basically bikinis but I'm glad at least some of them aren't! There is definitely something up with the below the waist shots - I counted about 5 male rear shots, 1 panning male crotch shot, and 1 panning female rear shot - and one very weird close up at waist level from the side of a man walking. It's fine I guess, I suppose they are trying to cover all the bases and include some eye candy for everyone.
I do think Lords of the Fallen looks more interesting though - but I'm most interested in Deep Down! If Lords of the Fallen comes out first though I will definitely be playing that.
She is absolutely 100% wearing long pants. You can see the folds in the cloth in the image you posted! And in the immediately previous frame (2:04) you can clearly see the stitching of the pant running all the way down from the waist.
I'm not surprised you think the designs are horrible if you think they are naked when they are clearly wearing clothes.

My take on the sexist tone for the women (and I really don't want to start that argument again) is that it depends on the setting itself. Basically if it follows through and is shown as an innate part of the realm, I don't have an issue with it. If there's no background to it at all and is clearly there just to pander to young males, then there's a problem.
People don't call out the sexist overtones of shows like Boardwalk Empire or Game of Thrones, because their setting or era is consistent with the ideals, and there's almost always exceptions to the stereotype brought to the forefront. The Witcher is a game series that also treads that line very well. I need more info to know if Bound by Flame uses it right or wrong.
I'm not going to accept full blame for thinking the lady is naked when they put her in the tightest flesh tone pants they could possibly choose. Looks exactly like her ass. I thought for sure she was wearing some weird thong deal. There's no need for her pants to be that tight in the first place, but I can deal with it. I noticed you didn't have any defense for the mage's double Ds spilling out of her top while she does battle. =P
The terrible narrator's use of the word companions as they show the two women and then he kisses one of them also gives me a vibe that the game could be going for a pick one of 5 women to bang and otherwise they'll have no distinguishing characteristics beyond how sexy they are thing, but it's way too early to make those assumptions.
The worst thing about that trailer to me is how bad the combat looks to be honest. Around the 1:30 mark they start "showing off" the combat and it looks so bad. Floaty character models, and when he does the 2 handed upward backstab thing and the enemy just ragdoll flies away like he ran into him with a car just look comically awful.

I think tight flesh colored pants should make a comeback. These jeans are too loose IMO

As I'm neither an 18th Century New England Puritan nor a 19th century Victorian Prude, I don't consider that they need a defense At least it makes more sense on a mage than on a physical fighter. And close fitting pants is exactly what I would expect to see on a fighter - you wouldn't want billowy fabric that could get caught on things.
I will concur that if she was wearing a weird thong deal then the dress decisions would be highly questionable indeed so I can definitely understand your initial reaction.

Definitely agree with you on this. I watched the Fallen Lords trailer immediately after and the combat and character movement just looked SO much better in the latter game.
Hell Kingdoms of Amalur had way better looking combat and that was by no means a great game.
I'd also like to confirm for anybody who might not know that if you have Playstation plus, you can in fact pre-buy the free games for systems you don't yet own. Last week I went on the playstation store website(can't do it from PS3 for PS4 games obviously) and purchased Resogun and Don't Starve. Then yesterday when I got my PS4, I downloaded them straight away. Actually, after I set up the system they were already ready to immediately start downloading which was nice.
Will this work if you pre-buy a game that is removed from IGC before getting the console?
I did this with Don't Starve before it was removed, but my PS4 won't be delivered until tomorrow, most likely (thanks, Snow!).

As long as you 'bought' it before it was removed it should work just fine.
If you buy a new console, you can immediately load up all the old IGC games you bought in the past. They'll all still be in your 'downloads' list.
Now, on the PS3, that list has no sort options at all and is horrendously difficult to navigate. I haven't tried on the PS4 but hopefully the list will be short enough to not make it difficult.

You can always just search for whatever title you want to go back and download too, it'll have the little shopping bag next to it instead of a price if you've "bought" it before for free via PS Plus. Beats scrolling through the download history.

I'm not a prude. All I'm saying is that it could be more tasteful. That's all.
Oh we have all seen FAR FAR worse than this... I found the lady designs a little tame
they are trying to make them attractive with them not being dressed like strippers

Pretty sure my PS4 download list will be: Don't Starve, Outlast, Warframe. So, it shouldn't be too difficult.
I'm thinking about buying AC4 digitally as well. All PS4 discs require an install, right? So I'm not saving any disc space if I go with a physical copy instead?

The Red Sox have moved Fenway Park from Boston to Uncanny Valley, eh? Looks good.
Yes, but if you go digital you avoid the inconvenience of housing all those discs and switching around when you want to play something different.
Is it really all that inconvenient? I mean, I switch my consoles on via the eject button now anyway since there's a chance there's a movie in there. If there is, or a different game, I grab the game I want and put it in.
But then, I have a few things going for me with using physical disks - I almost never decide to keep gaming but swap games. I play what I want to play at that moment and then turn it off when I'm done. I keep my games in a drawer beneath my TV, and never have games wander around in different cases.
I thought about going Digital this generation, but I realized physical disks just don't irritate me, and I enjoy collecting games in cases. There's exceptions - I'll totally get a digital edition of a game if Sony are giving it to me for free. Most of my Vita collection is from PS+ at the moment. I've got a serious amount of awesome PS3 games to play once I download them from PS+, and have digital versions of Contrast, Resogun and Outlast because Sony didn't want me to pay for them.
But going digital on the basis of having to swap disks or disks being otherwise inconvenient I just don't get.
I would love to go all digital this generation. In fact, I had planned on it.
But it turns out that the backwater I moved into has a data cap that makes that laughably impractical.
Yeah, my internet connection speed is so dire that it's incredibly impractical (probably a week for something of the size of Killzone, took 4 days or so for FIFA and NFS:Rivals) even though we don't get data caps. When Fibre broadband comes in 3 months that'll remove that obstacle.
However you'll find that Amazon will quite often have the game for cheaper in physical than it is in the playstation store. Lego Marvel Super Heroes I got for less than half the price.
Wasn't planning to go all-digital this generation, but now kinda leaning that direction to keep the few new games I pick up consistent with all the free stuff Sony is loading me down with on Plus.

The convenience of having all my stuff on the PS3 without having to change discs would do that, but bandwidth limits basically prevent me doing that.
But if I ever get enough bandwidth, it would be hugely tempting but I also like the human interaction I get at the store I go to.
Maybe I'm wierd, but I want a couple games on disc and then everything else digital.
Like, if EVERY game involves me switching a disc, that gets obnoxious. But if I have two games on disc, I can leave the disc in there and I only have to swap if I want to play the other disc based game.
And then I have some games to loan/trade with friends. Plus I just like having a couple actual physical discs laying around.
Lately I've been leaving warframe running on the PS4 while playing something on the PS3 and switching back over to the PS4 whenever the right type of alert comes up That's even MORE convenient!
Can we talk about how scary Outlast is? I can only play it five minutes at a time.
As soon as I downloaded it, I turned off all of the lights and my wife watched me play it. Right at the first jump-scare I said "Well this can fuck right off!" and switched to Netflix.
I've had it for about five days and am only 20 minutes into it.
I played about 10 minutes with my daughter on Saturday, I basically made it into the stupid asylum and then just said "forget this" and turned it off while my kid called me a pansy.
Do you ever get a weapon? I don't know if that would make me feel better about it, but I am curious if it's basically just a "run and hide when you see something scary" game.

No, and the game gets significantly less frightening after the first hour or so. If you can make it past that, you're good.

Comically large spilling out breasts in mage ladies battle outfit.
A panning shot of this lady's bare naked ass.
Both of these are terrible designs to me.

I agree the narrator is horrible though.
