DING-DING-DINGI think it's great that SuperMassive are empowering their Black employees to create a game that speaks to their culture and unique perspective.
...oh.
Seems we have some diversity issues here, boyos!

It's impressive, really.
They will do this for every game they don't like now and going forward.

Why we should ignore this shit? I'm interested in this game, and that woke idiocy is a major minus to me.

BlackRock, woke publishers (influenced by BR), woke devs (young from universities, influenced by publishers), woke gaming media promoting this shit and punishing non woke games.

Because any reaction, positive or negative, is engagement. It's a polarization marketing tactic. They want you talking about this.
It's the old saying: "Any press is good press"
But yeah, don't buy the game if you're not interested. I mean, that's an easy decision man.

It really doesn't work like that. All games that got big anti woke push back bombed hard, that sends the message to publishers...
This video explains why publishers hate indepentent media (youtube) with a passion:

I have to say I have played a few Supermassive games and have never really felt they were woke, but maybe I am not seeing it.
The quarry and Until Dawn certainly didn't feel woke, they had black and Asian characters but that doesn't make the game woke IMO, as long as it makes sense in the world building.

I myself hate playing ugly characters, heck I skipped GTA 5 for that very reason but ugly characters doesn't make the game "woke".

I thought she was an alien at first.I am dead serious, do you really think these shoulders are normal in a woman?
Yup. All they have to do is put a black lesbian with short hair as the lead and they're guaranteed to get an 8/10 at the very least by the access media.

There is more stuff than just ugly people in this game. I mentioned a few not just the beauty of the characters

It doesn't work, but that doesn't mean they don't use it as a tactic. Maybe this studio hasn't gotten the memo lol
I know those other games bombed hard. Their plan clearly backfired. Totally aware by all of the threads on here about them.
These woke threads are getting a bit tiresome though. I'm glad you find value in them, but like…I get it guys.

You mean this?
So does that mean Dragon Quest XI is "woke"?Why do men look so feminine?
Or Unicorn Overlord is woke as well?Why the masculine bodies?

True...asian men designs are sometimes very weird...but they nail the girls quite good.

That's because JRPGs usually have male characters who fuck absolute babes. So they get respect just for that. XD

Some monitor things like heart rate and breathing too. In the game I think they're in cryo and it tracks their vitals.

Yeah, just like the Asian character, the Black character doesn't look bad to me. Personally, I just don't like when studios reduce all criticism or apprehension to "people just hate Black protagonists." The issue is usually whether the character is actually well written, likable, and believable. Too often studios focus more on the identity checklist surrounding the character than on making the character genuinely compelling on their own.

Yes, they are.
But even more tiresome are getting the woke devs who won't stop pumping this trash into our hobby.
They all deserve to be called out and get out of business and let that investors money go to better devs.

Apparently, black women make up the majority of the gaming demographic going by Western dev's retarded view of the world.

Never heard of this game, but thanks for solidifying the fact that I'll never waste my money on this trash.

I've only played Until Dawn, Man of Medan, Little Hope and The Quarry.
IMO only UD is a 7/10 experience. The others are like a 5, they are like UD without the novelty, with shittier production values and worse writing/acting.
I've heard House of Ashes is supposedly good, but at this point I'm done with the studio. I might try it out if it ever comes to the basic Ps+ tier.

Even in older games, a lot of women in Western games were kind of homely.

I'm gonna get something else off my chest. Just because I'm not personally into gay relationships or themes in entertainment doesn't mean I hate gay people.
I'm straight. I'm attracted to women, and that naturally influences the kind of shit I connect with. So when a game leans heavily into themes I don't personally relate to, I'm highly likely not gonna be interested in that shit.
At the same time, I can understand that people on the other end want representation and stories they connect with too. I don't give a flying fuck about developers making those themes available to you. Personally I actually encourage it. There's a big difference between "this content isn't for me" and hating people. There's also a major difference between optional content and mandatory content, and I think a lot of the industry backlash comes from developers not understanding how to properly execute those two.

Let the wokies have their games. They clearly hate me as a "cis white male* so they will not get my money or support.

The characters look like they've definitely been run through the usual DEI checklist, but the plot of the game sounds interesting. I'm a horror fan, though, so I'm looking at it through that lens. Based on that, it's hard to say whether it contains the typical activist drivel without more information.

Never stop calling it out, we can't expect things to change if we don't.
