WTF? Did I say weapons instead of women? Where did that come from?

Oh well, same difference. :p

I don't understand why it's females OR clothes. Wouldn't it make more sense for the most powerful customization engine to have females ONLY?

Or do you not have the tech for all the customization even using only female characters would require?

Also you know that even though the lack of female PC's would make it make sense for there to be a ridiculous amount of gay men, there will be less of them there than at the WBC.

No one cared you couldn't play as female soldiers in any other multiplayer game...

Brink is now joining the list of all shooters that don't offer female avatars:

COD, Battlefield, Halo (unless pink armor counts as female), Team Fortress 2 (sorry, gents), Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament, ect.

So, what's the problem again?
The pyro is a girl.

It'd suck if they do add females as DLC you have to pay for. How's that for fun, you need to pay more just to have a gender fittings yours.
yes. not very fun at all.

Good call. Their art direction of exaggerated proportions and faces that really have a life drawn into them works better on male heads anyway.

I am personally hoping they focus on the actual game rather than just paying attention to the looks. They also said that Brink will be a series in the future. So I am assuming the option will become available in the next game.

So far I am quite interested in the game. But even though they promised an extensive singleplayer component, I remain quite unconvinced in that respect. It does look like it is going to be extremely fun in multiplayer. Perhaps I can finally leave the hat-mania known as TF2.

I personally couldn't care less what a character looks like.

People complain when you leave girls out, and when you put them in they complain anyway. What odds. Would Bioshock have been any better if you had the option to be a woman?

It's dumb, but at least they have dodged the small cup size equals kiddie porn controversy from the Star Trek game...

Maybe not but then Bioshock didn't hype it's character customization options.

This

I usually pick a girl avatar for one of two reasons:
The first is that they are usually smaller and harder to hit.
And the second reason is that most guys usually think that if you're using a girl avatar that you're a girl and play worse because they want to be gentlemen. It doesn't matter if you're male as long as you have a girl avatar you'll be hit on by adolescent boys. Maybe it's not a fair thing to do but it's an interesting social experiment.
Pretty much, it can really break the balance and feel of the game and you see all of the most competitive in some games playing as the female avatar with the best weapon, because it gives a noticeable advantage to them.

Edit: your broken quoting seems to be contagious :p

I've been saying this for years. Bungie and Microsoft are SEXIST for not having the option to play a female masterchief in halo. I smell a class action lawsuit...

Ok, I got several replies, so I'm gonna show you what a heavy looks like in Brink. Click on this link and see how heavy the heavies actually are, and make that look normal on a woman without the developers getting flak for it.

It's simply budget based, i mean a game that sells itself over the customisation isn't going to ruin its chances by trying to include both genders but end up destroying its budget along the way trying to make the girls look and move differently to the guys.

Now a sequel however...

Oh my gods, they're being so sexist!

Geez, really? I understand that it is nice to have both sexs as an option in character customization. And that going with more clothes over making another gender does seem pretty weird. But considering how much movement that the characters undergo in the game (this game is putting itself forward as a RPS-Parkour hybrid), that would mean that they would have to create 3 new body types (or else gets more complaints about how "they are favoring men") which would take alot more work then putting in clothes. And none of us are the people making the game so we don't know if their claimed reasons for leaving out females as a playable character are legit or not. Maybe they can't afford to put them in. I mean it's not like every other game out there includes both male and female characters.

It would be nice if they included females in, but sometimes you just got to roll with what you got. Of course this is coming from a dude, so maybe my opinion isn't as important...

They didn't lie though. You can still customize the men as much as you want.

I gotta say I was disappointed. I wanted to make a badass female resistance member, but now I guess I'll make a feminine male resistance soldier. *shrugs*
