PSX Extreme: This is exactly what happens when sensitivity reaches a critical point and begins to crush artistic inspiration. Patrick Garratt's article concerning the problem of sexism in video games has struck a sour note with me, because it only proves just how insidious and counter-productive extreme sensitivity can be.
Been watching season 4 of The Boys and find Firecracker's face familiar? As a gamer, where you know her from might surprise you.
I did have one of those "where do I know her from...?" feelings.
It's funny how a different hair style changes a person. I saw some pictures of her with short or blond hair and it made me remember Kara, but making her a redhead AND with long hair, just bugged my brain.
Here's hoping her character survives until the end of the show (even though her character is a horrible person).
No doubt homelander will get pissed and show her his appreciation.
Episode 3 i was expecting a bitch slap death but it never happened he was zoned out then.
Would it not buy the boys still comedy she fight's back with that lame finger snap power he is like bitch really then just takes her out with one hit LOL
The only image from the show in my mind is the multiplying dudes eating each others butts in the sauna
Valorie Curry is her name... not sure why that's not even in the short summary. Why is this gaming news though?
I couldn't for the life of me remember what I remembered her from and then I saw The Tick in her acting credits. That's why she looked so familiar. I loved that short lived Amazon show.
Quantic Dream's upcoming Detroit Become Human, will no doubt be another success in their portfolio. Check this short video comparison of PS3 Kara and PS4 trailer of Detroit, both realtime animations.
I can't wait to play some of the games from this year, but the year Detroit comes out, oh man! I want it to be that year already. I love QD's approach to video games.
David Cage and team captured my interest since Omikron:Nomad Soul. The fact the team and the actress were able to make me care about Kara in less than five minutes from a tech demo, makes me want the game day one.
Just like the first tech demo of heavy rain with the woman in the kitchen.

Couldn't wait to buy that game after that too. Can't wait to buy this one also.she looks good for a bot. Reminds me of Humans. Seeing their improvements in capture technology is also great.
I really hope Quantic Dreams makes The Dark Sorceror, that tech demo they showed off for the PS4 at E3 2013, into a full fledged videogame. I would love to see this studio produce something very comedic for once. It would be a nice change of pace from all their overly dramatic titles, and diversity is always a great thing on a resume and keeping things fresh.
Clipping Error discuss why they're excited about Quantic Dream's upcoming game, Detroit. The game builds upon the world and character created in the tech demo Kara, released a few years ago as an example of what Quantic Dream could do. However, now it looks like that demo was part of a larger game, meaning that nowmany eager fans are getting what they want.
The tech demo was shown 3 yrs ago so im pretty sure they've been working on it for a while. I'm really optimistic that the game will release towards the end of next yr.
I fell in love with the character so I'm really looking forward to the closure of her story. Valorie captivated me with her performance so my expectations are high. Modify and keep the fundamental mechanics from heavy rain and give us an amazing presentation like in Beyond and we'll have an amazing experience.
The behind the scenes video of the tech demo is on youtube, auditions and motion capturing started in 2010!
I've been hoping they would make this game ever since the Kara tech demo arrived in 2012. The concept is just too good not to make a game out of. Could also become a brilliant motion picture if hollywood ever makes it. And if 27 million youtube plays of the Kara tech demo is anything to go by, I think there is a market for such a movie. But let's not get a head of ourselves here. Game first, and for me at least, day one for sure.
Very excited for this game. Interesting that she says 'I'm one of them and this is OUR story'
Hmmm you are suggesting that there are more of them like her... Plausible, yes, intriguing, yes, planet of the bots anyone? Hell yes
I hope David took some notes on the success of Until Dawn and what made it a hit for both hardcore and casual gamers- the game that is massively influenced by his games.
I'm pretty sure that most of PS4's sales are to the core gaming audience. $399 is not a price point for a gaming device aimed at casual players (anyone willing to spend $300+ for a gaming device shouldn't be considered a casual gamer).
Oh, how quaint: a reactionary article to a reactionary article to a reactionary article.
Jesus ****ing Christ.
I am also sensitive to sexism, but lately there is really a hysteria that tends to attack anyone who represents a woman even if in a non-offensive way.
What' s going on?
I agree with this article, I don' t see what Kara demo has to do with sexism.
I must also say that I think is beginning to irritate me this whole story, for a long time many women have used their body to get things that were wrongly closed or ( and if so we men should be ashamed of ourself ); less justifiable, for things that are not due to ( I don' t care if you are beautiful or ugly, if you don' t deserve something you should not have it. Both woman or man, I claim meritocracy ).
Until that is comfortable all goes well, but stop having benefits begin to point fingers crying "sexism!".
I know that many women are not like this ( although let's face it: usually are not attractive, if appealing they often take advantage to some extent, however small ), and I am myself often disgusted of how women's bodies are used ( almost always from greedy and unscrupulous men ). But I am more disgusted with the double standard, to be honest.
When - how - did a tech demo become an argument about sexism?
Except the VG247 piece never states that Kara is a sexist work in itself. Pat presents it as a portrayal of sexism.
People need to learn to read.
Kara demo was not sexist, @ all!
I think everyone is screaming sexist because of that small nude scene, where she covers her pooch.
How is that sexist?
I don't think there was any 'mishandling' of her parts, other than her being dismantled.
It's always sexist if the woman is not properly clothed, doesn't express an exuberant level of intelligence, or appear incompetent (compared to men) in any degree.
