Didn't look too bad, I'll play to honor the guys dad at the very least, my dad also got me into games, buying our first computer, an Amiga 500.
He didn't really understand them and he still doesn't at 75 but he knew I loved them so I'll be forever grateful to him for that. I don't know if I'd be here without them to keep me going during the worst times I've had.

This is the main game that looks good to me on the Xbox Partner Preview . . . guess I'm playing it on my stacked PS+ Premium instead.

Because black people in a game? In a fantastical setting that has an African tone in nature?
Oh the horror............You guys don't even hide it anymore.

"Eventually, we all will contend with grief. It can come in many forms and from many different sources. Surgent Studios’ (founded by Abubakar Salim) debut game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau, is a 2.5D story-driven, action-exploration game all about facing those emotions..."
Ah, an indie depression simulator. About as rare and interesting as a Red Hot Chili Peppers song about California.

Don't be silly. We all know by now that SBI are openly racist against Europeans and even Asians.
There is no reason to support racism in videogames, no matter the target.

So it's not the content of game itself, but rather that SBI has any form of involvement? If that's the case, I stand corrected and apologize.
Though I dont agree that they are racist against Europeans. I think they often go too far and try to overcorrect things in the industry.

European decent. Whites. Caucasians.

People are free to boycott who they want, but personally like the Hogwarts Legacy situation, I hate seeing Devs getting punished for the actions of others particularly when they've worked on something with a more unique setting. Plus it just looks fun to play.

Demo?

Ugh, they consulted for this game? I was interested, but if they are involved, it'll be a pass for me.

they did but it looks interesting, not like we have to pay for it since its on plus.
I don't think its fair to boycott small indie studios (I know its published by EA, but still its's a small passion project), they likely get larger funding and influence from big studios - boycott those instead.

This only works if you speak with your wallet and boycott...
It's either all SBI (and other DEI consulting studios) or we are just wasting our time Here.
We are going to have to have a backbone and avoid the games that we do want to play

Banning and not promoting are 2 different things.
The hint is that they are two different words

Maybe you're right, i can't really say anything otherwise and say i'm right without making assumptionsThis only works if you speak with your wallet and boycott...

I just feel bad cause the devs are so passionate about this game.

Downloaded the demo. Will give it a spin at least. I swear, however, if I see one person in an African mythology-inspired setting refer to themselves as "they/them" or nonbinary, I'm deleting this shit pronto.

You can feel bad for the devs for sure...
We don't have to give up our humanity. Just like... you don't have to play absolutely everything, some times games can just flop.
If the studio and the team are talented enough then they'll find an audience and next game they'll learn not to have DEI

People in this thread are talking about the game being "free" on PS Plus......and you say "Let's not promote it".
You sure you don't want it banned? lol
Is this GAFs anti version of the Stellar Blade Demo thread on reee?

Oof your gotcha kinda backfired didn't it
... now your trying to infer and lead to something which I didn't say.Honestly if you don't know the difference between promoting something and banning it then maybe you should be at resetera
100s of indie games release everyday, not every game gets its own thread and special promotion on gaf...
Well start promoting those games then. You have the power to create threads just like the others here.Oof your gotcha kinda backfired didn't it

Well, tbf there's nothing to stop that but posters on Gaf choosing not to.

Yeah, I mean I don't agree with this either. I'm going to play games that look good to me. Spider-Man 2 was great, God of War Ragnarok was great, and I'll get around to Alan Wake II at some point.
I'm not going to deny myself great experiences just because some chodes worked on the game. If I did that, I'd never be able to play anything.
That said, this game just sounds like the same "sadness = art" navel-gazing we've seen a thousand times from developers who mistakenly think they have something unique to say.

Exactly... and we can choose to not promote a racist company with racist employees

Or... we can just let the game made by racists just exist and not really shine a spotlight on it and see what naturally happens.

Well sure, that's your prerogative to do so. It's not getting special treatment as you're implying lol.Exactly... and we can choose to not support a racist company with racist employees
You can just as easily highlight more indie games. Nothing is stopping you or anyone else on here from making threads like

Looks good, reminds me a lot of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown which was fantastic. Not really too worried about a game set within African mythology starring black characters, some of you starting to lose the plot a little bit.

I mean why not?
You already decided you will buy sbi games and it's cool if you wanna support them but why should those who don't want to not know this information?
Let people do, buy, and play what they want. We don't need disclaimers and tags because you're doing nothing but reverting to THAT site that you all so highly despise.

Well, then you'd just be treading down the same path that Reset Era is on. If you want that then be my guest, but I don't want that practice here.
You already have the Sweet Baby Inc. detector to make use of, as well as your discernment.
