you do realize alot of the characters used in these were predefined for decades, right? (as in, all the DC characters like batman and such) and that BLUR has more than likely no say in regards to that? Hell did you not notice the incredible amount of characters with hoods/armor/helmets that you couldn't tell were any race?The Madman said:Stern faced white dude fights stuff, the game.
Seriously though highlight reels like this just serve to illustrate how pervasive that stereotype is in AAA gaming (And to an extent media in general). I think I saw a black dude in there once, a lady once or twice, and a talking baked treat just as often. How novel!
But then I'm probably missing the point, it's all very pretty to look at. Guess I'm just in a grumpy mood today that all I could think of after watching the trailer was the silly white dude thing mentioned above.
If you meant some of the people, then yeah a few clips from Thor 2: The Dark World were live action with CGI effect in them.Micalas said:Wow, some of those looked real rather than CGI. Amazing work.

Maybe it's just because I've been doing a lot of reading lately, but it's just so booooring to have the same generic stereotype featured so often compared to the rich diversity I've been enjoying in literature. And no, saying 'they have a helmet so it could be anyone underneath' doesn't really make things any more diverse either.gmaverick019 said:you do realize alot of the characters used in these were predefined for decades, right?

I would definitely say a grumpy mood and a very odd bone to pick with race at the moment is the issue here considering the first line and main chunk of your post was about that.
Ah, cool, thanks... can't say I've ever heard of it. Seems to have gotten pretty average scores, except for IGN who panned it (not triple A enough I guess). Might check it out for rentals.Caiphus said:Reverse Google image search brings up Knight's Contract.Shinkicker444 said:Who was the girl at around the 2:47-48 mark?
Never played it, dunno how good it is, here's the trailer they took the clip from:
No problem! If you check it out, I hope you have more fun than IGN did ;DShinkicker444 said:Ah, cool, thanks... can't say I've ever heard of it. Seems to have gotten pretty average scores, except for IGN who panned it (not triple A enough I guess). Might check it out for rentals.
