The devs at Pumpkin Jack return with a much more evolved adventure!
The Test Drive Unlimited series returns after 13 years, but in all honesty, it should have stayed a relic on the Xbox 360.
An early look at the character creation system includes plenty of options for transgender fans of the franchise.
There's thousands of Twitter users and three gamers really excited for this.
No. But don't sit here and spew inclusion, and at the same time make it so that you can't make top or bottom heavy characters.
Then maybe instead of being like "booo I hate trans shit" we can say boo where's my big ass and titties. Or are we speaking about being fat. We could do that too. Trans people love big ass and titties to you know.
If you watch the gameplay for the customization the sliders they have literally do nothing. Like they went out of their way to model these scars or include pronouns but your female character is stuck with a male body type no matter what. Really shows their priorities. Or should i say narrative?
This will make the Tater Tots and all the sweaty basement dwellers have a melt-down.
I can hear the collective "REEEEEE" building.
No, I just won't purchase it or allow my son to purchase it, other than that it won't effect me in anyway. Stop trying to force negative discourse where there isn't any.
I was already planning on passing on this game, this just makes it that much easier.
This is fucking weird NGL not least because the game is set in a fantasy world with magic very prevalent..... As if people couldn't just drink a potion or cast a spell and literally be the opposite sex. Makes no sense.
Proof that leftist developers simply cannot detach themselves or their world view from their creations and the reason everything they make or write sucks. I bet trans who actually play games would like that kind of spell because it fulfils a fantasy in a so-called fantasy RPG.
Lol you can wrap your mind around all that but this is where you draw the line. You don't have to make your character a trans person with top surgery scars. What happened to live and let live tho?
This site is 90% soft, triggered conservative dudes. Just take a look at their idols and all the whining makes sense.
That's not a very strong argument. By that logic no characters should ever have any kind of scars, missing limbs, etc, in fantasy games because magic exists.
But why would anyone put themselves through such a process in a fantasy setting when you could use magic to do the same thing likely far faster and far less painfully? It doesn't make sense in the context of the world they've created.
Well I’m not to heavy on dragon age lore but I’m pretty sure there isn’t one… yet.
Maybe if they make it canon but either way I don’t care. I just hope they focus on perfecting the game to please the gamers and not focus on stuff like this.
Tbh I do feel like that’s a dumb option. Can’t they just add a feature to add multiple scars and then let the user place it anywhere they want.
So other scars, wear & tear and signs of aging are perfectly acceptable, but an additional feature that gives more ways for people to feel seen and included is where you draw the line?
I think the point is that they're being inclusive for a very, very small minority of people yet still won't include other visual options. Like, women with big boobs exists. So do hunchbacks. People with facial deformities. Double-jointed people. People without a left hand. Albinos. So if they're going to be inclusive, they should really go all out, because then it just seems like they're trying to make a statement. And maybe they are, given who the game director is. They needed those scars in the game, but also let's not try to create a biological female that looks like an actual biological female of various sizes and shapes. Nah, that'd be crazy! And if you don't agree with them you're a bigot. Or some MAGA hat wearing lunatic. Or a Nazi? Who knows anymore.
@DreadfulHero: But that's not the point Extermin8tor3_ was making though.
That said, yeah, I agreee that the more options we have the better. That does not give people the excuse to bash on this added feature. I personally think they could have been more inclusive with body shapes and sizes in general, but I do understand some options are limited by gameplay mechanics and animations.
And to answer a few of your examples:
"Like, women with big boobs exists": Okay let's not pretend there is a very specific type of people asking for this.
"So do hunchbacks.": To some degree this should be doable, agreed.
"People with facial deformities." I think to some degree this are possible in the character creator? I suspect this however is limited because of facial animations.
"Double-jointed people. People without a left hand." I suspect these would be rather difficult to make work with animations, but also feels like something they could have adapted with some creativity.
"Albinos." Pretty sure you can re-create albinism even in previous games
"They needed those scars in the game, but also let's not try to create a biological female that looks like an actual biological female of various sizes and shapes."
Not sure where you get the idea that you can't create a cis woman. Again, more body sizes and shapes would be great, but claiming you can't create a female character is a bit of a stretch.
136 million Switch sales. That's crazy. I remember predicting the Switch would be a success and sell around 65 million. They've more than doubled that now. I'm excited to see what they're doing with the Switch 2.
I would like to know what Satya’s take on these numbers.
Wow almost 4 million sold for PS5 during December.
I can't believe that PS5 and Switch both got 3 million+ sales in just 1 month! I hope this will not stop Nintendo from delaying the release of Switch 2.
Don't worry Xbots, the tide will turn when the new COD game hits Gamepass. All those casuals love paying 200 dollars a year to play COD.
