Old news is no news is good news, eh?

Eh, Prototype 2 has a black male lead. There are plaenty of games out there that give you the option, but whatevs. I don't really care as long as the game is good.

As a white male, your oppinion doesn't count. I believe Merc wants to "blackmale" the game industry. :semicolonpee:


Seriously, though i like the games available with fem-centric player characters, I would really really like more.

My favorites are Tomb Raider, Kameo, Heavenly Blade, and X-Blades (wasn't horrible). Technially Okami's wolf character is a femlse but it's also white. lol

Totally right.

I often choose to be a non-whitey in games where you can choose race. Usually always pick azns tbh. Especially where I'm a villainous character because Oceania always fears them slanty eyes invading. Totally joking here don't get mad bro.

Someone's been watching/reading Tomorrow, The Day After The War Began a little too much if you ask me!

I'm going to name Shenmue here, I'll also point out that in games such as Dragon Age, Never Winter Nights, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls so forth colour is irrelevant as it can be chosen by the player.

Games in which the player character can't be seen/heard or games in which the player chooses the character's race/gender don't count.

Why? Because you never get a true sense of who the character could really be as an individual. No matter what race/gender you choose, you're destined to walk the same path and speak the same dialogue (minus experimenting to reach branching paths, but those are still the same actions and same dialogue no matter your race/gender). A designer having the sense to decide a character's race/gender before the game finishes development means more consideration went into that character's characterization/what makes he/she an individual set apart from the rest of the NPC-schlubs in the game or even apart from the characters of other games. Without that consideration, the character is just a mindless clone with no real role to play save to serve as a host to a player who may or may not really care about the events taking place in the game. So, then, what was the point of writing a backstory, a continuing story, a plot? What was the point of creating a world?

Never read Tomorrow, When the War Began or the rest of the series but I did watch the movie. It's been a prevailing fear in white-Australians since the Chinese flocked to Australia during the Gold Rush.

To take this further off topic here, I know that it's part one of like a series but I've never heard if they're making the rest of the books in to films. It'd be silly not to since the first book/movie adaptation ends on a clear cliff hanger.

The film was moderately successful but I don't think there's been any progress on making the follow-ups. I'm not sure why. It's really disappointing. I liked what was going on, Australian filmmaking doesn't usually have that much success.

The main character of the next KH trilogy should be a black girl, lol.
