Why wouldnt they have used the resources used in making one of the four generic male assassins female? Its not extra work, instead of making three male characters you make one female two male.

Just playing devils advocate.

Can you name a game that doesnt have men in it??? I cant think of one.

Are you saying that if the next game has a female lead the game will somehow be hindered by that? That it will be a worse game for it?

If they choose to have a female protagonist what difference does that make to the game? Why would it be seen as being "butchered"?

I think the argument isnt about wether a Dev should be forced to include women in games, but where they choose not to what are their reasons for that, and when they do whats their motive.

Too many devs, or more likely publishers, believe a female lead harms sales. They see gaming as a male audience who react better to male protagonists. Thats an outdated opinion that needs to change.

Likewise when women are included they are too often oversexualised and are...

Like it or not, there is gender equality in the world. As a guy, im guessing you dont experience that, but trust me, its true. And like it or not, games, like tv, film and music, influence peoples thinking. So its absolutely right that gaming should be looking at itself as an industry and fighting inequality where it can.

Note, thats "where it can". Personally I think AC Unity made a design decision and they can back that up with a reasonable argument as to why the...

Becauase Timesplitters was one of the most fun FPS games ever made. Im guessing you're about 12 though and have never played one. I feel for you.

Personally I dont want Crytek to make Timesplitters 4, they'll turn it into a very pretty game thats dull and boring. Id rather they sold the license to someone with a better history of making fun games
games.

Granted that includes pretty much every developer past present and future. Heck even Hanuma...

Its their own fault, simply because they're sitting on the timesplitters licence and refusing to make a game with it. Thats a licence to print money and they wasted it.

Serves them right. Shame for the staff though.

"Nintendo UK Says Mario Kart 8 Is A “Catalyst” For Elevating Wii U Sales"

It isnt. Sorry, as great a game as it is, it wont sell the millions of consoles Nintendo hope for.

One word: Crytek

Pretty pretty graphics. Dull as dishwater gameplay.

Id just like to throw in here that we're talking about a small tweak to the coding to allow these relationships. A couple of days work tops. When people talk of having to cater to a minority lets realise just how little work that would really take. Why not spend a couple of days coding and be all inclusive?

I might agree with what you're saying Agarycolemanclone, but you're saying it like a douche so disagree it is.

Im sorry but who walks around with a Vr headset on? Most of the time you'll be sat down as normal. Games won't track your footsteps, you wont have to walk around your living room to explore.

I think Im just ever so slightly in love with Amy. Im sure whatever she does she'll be just fine.

They're different styles of writing. Amy is awesome, its a shame that she's left, but I wish her all the best. Im certain she'll have no shortage of job offers.

Civilization is a great game. Thats not the issue. The issue is you can pick it up for a fiver online (including postage) so its hardly offering great value. It gives the impression that Microsoft are being tight.

The fact that its old means a lot of people have played it too.

Two years from now Im expecting a £299 PS4. The market is incredibly aggressive now, I doubt they can hold that value for two years. Once supply isnt an issue we'll start to see £349 with a game bundles, then by next year it'll be £299 solus kits. Heck you can get £329 solus kits now.

Sony dont need to react right now, there will be a surge of Xbox One sales then they'll go back to normal levels as they are now. We'll see this with every e...

Xbox One wins fair and square.

Im still not buying one.

I dont care if everyone in America bought one and declared it the second coming of Jesus, I still wouldnt buy it.

I will take some Sunlight Lemon Oxi though. That stuffs fresh.
