Blondes...they know a lot about "US Americans" and "places like such as" and "the Iraq" and South Africa and why "US Americans" don't have maps. ha ha.

From Jennifer Connelly to Jewel. I didn't like her face graphics in the early trailers; her face looked unfinished. It looks much more detailed now. That would make sense considering the game's not done yet.

But does this mean we'll have more fun? ;)

Her face looked too generic in the beginning, but now I say thumbs up! She doesn’t have to be blonde, but it helps that they filled in her features.

I agree with nih, making her blonde didn't make her look better. They just rendered her better in the second pic. She would have looked just as complete in the second pic as a brunette.

Looking at the version on the left, I was wondering if this would be the first videogame heroine that would travel from place to place on the short bus... Thankfully she looks a bit "better" now!

Yeah, I remember noticing this on the last trailer on the PSN. Pretty crazy. What's even funnier is that PS3FB once posted a series of screens for Uncharted that showed an even earlier version of the character that looked like Randy Jackson with a bowl haircut. Considering that all that's changed on Drake since the initial concepts is the color of his shirt, Naughty Dog sure can't make up their minds on this girl.

Now if they can only work on her acting skills, or lack thereof.

Randy Jackson should be Randy Johnson. And Doug, you haven't seen the bad ones yet.

She does look better... maybe just the facial expression... before she looking really ugly...

I think the first one is more believable for this kind of adventure. Your not gonna find too many blondes treasure hunting.

Holy crap, she got hot. I like the details they added to her face and what-not, and now she looks like she's gotten to Nathan's level of detail.

Wow, she suddenly turned hot! And she seems to look more detailed now...

The change was made quite a while back...
No one notice the change in the e3 trailer and pre e3?

I'm thinking one of the graphic artists got a new girlfriend and this is modeled after her. Believe it or not, those guys do stuff like that all the time. The founder of Hansen Robotics modeled his first realistic robot face after his girlfriend.
