Did they manage to find a way to capture Vita footage well? I have this fantasy that Patrick and Ryan will go for a Persona 4 Golden Endurance Run.
It's sad if you think it's true. Elena and Bonnie are both drastically better characters. And Glados if you count her as a female.
No. Sony is still not releasing capture gear to the gaming press.

I would argue of most characters in general, though.
It's not like there's a huge number of great male characters. Alyx is a wonderfully written character and I wish we had more like her, regardless of gender.
All valid choices, too. I just got a soft spot for Alyx!
Elena would be my #2 I think.

A female lead in GTA5 would have been really interesting since Rockstar have really been trying hard with there characters recently.
Would be interesting seeing a female character reaction to GTA staples like hookers, strip clubs, pimps and so on.
Hope they try it with DLC.

Duh, of course. My character of the year! How did that slip my mind. Probably because it's so recent.
I just hope they don't POTENTIAL SPOILERS
use her in season 2.
Sadly, I don't think Rockstar is brave enough to try a female playable character. They know if they do, every action, every line of dialogue and every piece of marketing material will be under incredible scrutiny from all directions.
As shit of a game Dragon Age 2 was they really did a good job on her. Head of the guards, strong, dignified, intelligent, never wore skimpy clothing and wasn't even a romance choice.

Luna and Phi from vlr are great well written females as well

Yeah maybe not for in GTA.
Maybe they could try it with red dead?
Still with Rockstars current trend of serious, mostly believable characters they are probably one of the few studios who could do something really interesting with a female lead.
Thanks for the update!

Aveline was ok, but she also spent half of the game being a creeper and sexually harassing her subordinate while neglecting her responsibilities as city watch captain of one of the most crime ridden and shitty cities in Thedas.
Oh. Collusion.

What's Brazen?
Bully 2. 2014. Female lead. Believe.

She was good because she was so normal.
But when I think of BG+E I can't really remember anything she did. I liked the overall story, but her character isn't memorable to me. That's not bad because she was meant to just be an average person, and they succeeded in that, but as a result I don't rate her character that highly, if you know what I mean.

Double Fine's making Monster Hunter? What?

I'd agree with this. She seemed very normal, but still had a more feminine touch to her motivations (the mothering role she takes on with all of the children on the island) than most female characters. (Unlike most female characters [Samus, Chell, FemShep], who could be swapped out for a male character with ease.)
Double Fine making a MonHun clone? That's brazen.
The day Muir stops smiling is the day the world ends.
that's true, but unlike Alyx or Bonnie or the DA2 characters, she is the protagonist

That is actually quite interesting, only because is a western developer creating a game of genre/game that is specially associated with eastern fandom.

Does this mean that Double Fine are going ahead with Brazen? Muir plus that concept are just to good to die at the prototype level. It'll take some of the sting away from Kaiju Piledriver not making it too.
Jeff has two lists on the site. Jeff's All-Time Favorites and Games I Will Accept As Your Answer to the Question "What Is The Greatest Game Ever Made?". Drew has a similar list. I wish the others would make lists like these, I always find them quite interesting.

God I hope so I almost paid for the game bundle after I saw the Brazen video.

A DF produced monster hunter game might be the perfect gatway into these games. im intrested for sure
yeah, pretty much
I was going to make that joke.
Spoilers: they will consider the DF version smartly "streamlined".

fuckin' called it, man
Why would you search like that Caesar?
Tonight's bombast; "Double Fine ostensibly makes the systems of a Monster Hunter game work in the context of a Harryhousen universe."
To be fair. It will be the "first" MH type game with online integration. I'm just glad that Double Fine has at least one part of the company that ostensibly cares about systems.
Edit: Damn you to the 8th circle of hell Mr. F!
How so?
