Aussie girl gets gig for Borderlands 2

Featured 32 Comments 39 Votes 1959 Views 19/01/2012 Back to News

Gearbox have shown off their choice today for the new live model of their current Lilith character and its an Australian cosplayer from Sydney named Yasemin Arsal.
Not much else is known about this girl yet but I'm sure she will impress.

Check out the video here and be the judge.
Does she do the character justice?

I don't get the point? why'd they need a live model of a relatively unknown gaming character?
Plus is it just me or does the chick look nothing like Lilith and more like a freak with them eyes? :E

Yeah the eyes didn't really appeal to me either (on lilith) @_@

A live model could be used for promoting the game(which was probably going to be the most obvious one)? maybe assist in making cutscenes? I think it could be a number of things but from what they were doing it looks like it was mostly a photoshoot :S

We'll probably find out later.

Remember the Guardian Angel in the first game? Little live action video clips in the top corner. Any money that'll be it.

It could just be for promotions and stuff as well. Although that is good thinking Kerp, yeah I said Kerp.

Yes she needs to learn how to say her characters name correctly. Clearly shes a HUGE Borderlands fan [Facepalm]

Still, she looks alright when the make up is applied and her body shape is right :D

i Don't see much of a resemblance either, also she's not the first aussie girl to be in a game, GOW 3 had 2, Mercenaries 2, just to name a few.

Didn't Gearbox state that characters in Borderlands 2 are different? Seems they changed their minds and bringing back Lilith.
Looked at the video, and the chosen girl doesn't look anywhere near Lilith. Doesn't fair well as Gearbox cannot even get the 'real-life' girl right.
