官方说法:
"After delving further into the game’s narrative over the past few months, we decided to modify Ellie’s model to better reflect [actress] Ashley [Johnson]’s personality, and also resemble a slightly younger teen more fitting to the story," said creative director Neil Druckmann. "We're happy with the final result shown in the cinematic we have released today, and hope the fans like her too."
Ellie“变幼齿”是为了更贴切“故事情节”和“动作捕捉女演员的个性”
IGN会员们对此说法并不买账,大多数还是喜欢旧的Ellie face model
更有人爆料,官方说法只是掩饰内幕的措辞,真正原因是旧模型确实和Ellen Page过于相似,为避免玩家的误会(很多人以为原型和动作捕捉就是Ellen Page)和游戏上市后可能引起肖像权的诉讼等麻烦,所以被迫临阵调整模型。
