Richard Bailey Jr. Jakejames Lugo and I had many interesting discussions including Dan Houser's quote about the masculinity in GTA 5. As gamers we would love to see a female protagonist in a GTA game, but Houser's quote suggests that the story has to make sense for it to happen.
But with the touchy stigma surrounding women in video games and how they are portrayed, can a female lead in GTA work? - Let us know what you think, and check out Richard Bailey's article based on this subject.
We also discussed Sony's reveal of both the PS Vita TV and the new PS Vita 2000. We breakdown what makes these devices appealing to us. Will you be buying one?
We also list some of the new games announced for all Playstation platforms, including Soul Sacrifice Delta for PS Vita, Phantasy Star Nova for PS Vita, and Yakuza Ishinfor PS4. We also speak on the new details regarding Capcom's PS4 exclusive Deep Down.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "Thanks to the recent PlayStation Store promotion, these seven games with discounted pricing are worth a shot any day of the week."
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
This is a good podcast about games.
A female lead can work if the story and missions are structured properly. Rockstar should try it though, I don't think we've seen a open world crime game starring a female (at least not to my knowledge).
Even though a female lead can work in GTA, I highly doubt that Houser will go that route now. Given that GTA V has 3 lead protagonists, it would have made the most logical sense to explore this option now in order to switch things up and emphasize the differences between all 3 characters. Of course, I could be wrong and GTA 6 could have a female lead but I highly doubt it.
Cruising around picking male-hoes and getting banged? Umm no.
