Get what?I’m not sure you get it.
Because Naughty dog is a woke trash company.
I guess you already forgot Deathloop?Because there hasnt been a real AAA game with a black lead since like... GTA San Andreas? It was news with Ghosts of Tsushima too except Asian lead. Its good to see
People here would still be crying even if they didn’t mention it once and just showed gameplay. Look how a rumour has people acting already and calling ND woke trash LOLWhy does race have to be mentioned?
THIS.It's good to see but doesn't need to be pointed out.

If you have to ask, you’ll never know.Get what?
She’s Caucasian and Indian
is Deathloop considered triple A?Deathloop?
is Deathloop considered triple A?
And the purple shall rejoice.I hope it's a they/them
It's almost like there is a history to do with black representation that makes it matter. Because of the fact that representation matters. Because black people being represented in media matters. Because for the first 50 or so years of any media, black representation was made specifically to caricature, denigrate, disparage black image. So yes it matters, it matters that naughtydog wants to create their first lead black character. They are some of the best storytellers in the industry and it matters that they want to put a black face as the lead in their story.THIS.
I have nothing against any race, black white asian arabe i mean WHO CARES???? As long as the game is great and the character design have some fitting and sens. Reading thing like "featuring their first Black Lead" as the first thing to introduce a game just make me "EW Okay but why doesn't matter?" and there is nothing to get excited about.
Who are they and who is doing the teasing?They seriously have to use racial identity as a tease? It is actually a hype killer. Strange times.
Hmmmm……..I think it is. It’s a full priced $60 release which seems to have a decent budget behind it, so probably? Maybe?is Deathloop considered triple A?
I want YOU to tell me.If you have to ask, you’ll never know.
This is why I wish Naughty Dog made a narrative focused game where you can build (character creator) any type of character and it would fit to gameplay and narrative they built. It’s the only way forward in this medium and it would appease everybody.
In big companies I think they traditionally design their products (so characters too) thinking on the tastes of their target user. So they offer what they think that type of customer demographics prefers to buy, what they think it's going to sell more between the main kind of people who traditionally or potentially could buy this product.
So in a market like rap, not sure about its market but I'd bet it sells a majority of its copies in USA and the majority of their customers I assume are black, so it makes sense to have mostly black artists.
For a PlayStation Studios game, their main market is Europe and they want to grow big in the biggest gaming market of the world, Asia (which means mostly China). They are selling a $80 game for a $500 toy. So between this type of customer black people is a tiny minority. It isn't like in USA, where black people is over 10% of the population.
In any case I think it's impossible to make everyone happy unless you go via the character editor route.
Yes, but not anymore. Why does representation matter as much in 2021? if it was a few decades ago I would be with you, but right now it's used as a weapon.It's almost like there is a history to do with black representation that makes it matter.

they've never made a shooter? Maybe just 1Hopefully it's not a shooter focused game and they differentiate themselves more from their other entries
This There some serious Snowflaking in this thread. I joke around with Snowflakes (Instant meltdown/fragility) not to worry, if there not Aliens then over 90% lead characters in games are White, so no need to panic. Lol.People here would still be crying even if they didn’t mention it once and just showed gameplay. Look how a rumour has people acting already and calling ND woke trash LOL
Why does race have to be mentioned?
Again those who point out all time on this and talk all days about races are the most racists
This post dont even deserve a Response.Yes, but not anymore. Why does representation matter as much in 2021? if it was a few decades ago I would be with you, but right now it's used as a weapon.
White people are put down as slave owners and racists constantly. That's misrepresentation too, and it's broad and ugly and featured in music, movies, tv shows, and comedy shows on a daily basis.
My point is, black representation has progressed and been discussed more than any other culture by far, at this point in time, it's probably the last "culture" or "people" that need representation in media. The work has already been done. There has been a bigger push to get black people into every part of society than any other people in history, people can't keep using argumentation from the 1970s on why you need to push black people into media, they are already there.
Hey look, it's a racist.Naughty Dog has said nothing nor is the person making the tweet a verified source but here we are on page 4 with nothing but butthurt her Caucasians in an uproar. As much as y'all bitch about "WOKENESS" you're the ones stoking the fire because it makes you angry on a personal level.
lol What?Because there hasnt been a real AAA game with a black lead since like... GTA San Andreas? It was news with Ghosts of Tsushima too except Asian lead. Its good to see
Here is a little tip for those "why does it matter" folks.
If it does not matter to you, simply shut the fuck up and ignore and let people that it matters, appreciate it.
Yes but not anymore? I used the first 50 years just as a representation of longevity, it didn't end after the first 50 years just like how even when slavery was abolished after 400 years of it, it didn't just simply stop and everything was ok from then on. The effects of things from the past are still well and alive to this day. There are actual people who are alive today who experienced slavery. To this day there are racist representations of black characters in media. For the record, I don't need you to be with me on this issue, if it doesn't affect you personally that's fine.Yes, but not anymore. Why does representation matter as much in 2021? if it was a few decades ago I would be with you, but right now it's used as a weapon.
