nah, taboo and mature subjects won't hurt Ground Zeroes's sales in any way. MGS series are quite famous for its story which always touching sensitive objects. Keep up the good work Mr. Kojima, kudos for developer like you who would take the risk and put creativity above all. And don't be a coward Konami!
@Smokescreened84 @sensei_hEnRY exactly, so unless developer wants to make a super power woman, please design female character as realistic as you can. I believe Ellie would envy Isaac for wrapping himself in awesome armored suit while she only wear tanktop (DS2) and shirt that show most of her chest (DS3).
Just counting how many female character i've ever played...damn i only play less than 30 of 'em! To be honest there are a lot other famous female characters i don't play like Cate Archer, Samus Aran, April Ryan, Zoe Castillo, Heather Mason, Bayonetta, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, etc.
In my opinion, the rarity of female lead characters make each of 'em mostly awesome and unique. One thing that actually worries me is no matter how awesome or deep the female character is, she will always presented as a sexy babe with skimpy outfit. Lara Croft is an athletic girl that could defeat any olympic athletes but of course she needs a big breast and a tanktop, Seong Mina is a master of staff who's always on a quest to destroy an evil sword but wearing pants is just not part of the deal (and of course she have a big breast), Aya, Shevaa, and Juliet must fight for her life through zombie apocalypse but they can't do it without bikinis, tanktop, and cowboy hat (to show her big breast apparently), Madison Paige is a journalist that only know one way to get information, open up her clothes and show her cleavage, even Samus Aran at certain point must get out of her Power Suit and wearing only pink bikini, or skin tight Zero Suit (and again she have a big...well you know).
Japanese games usually the victim for these female-character-must-wear-less-syndrome, that's why i'm pretty surprise when i play MGS4 (this is the only MGS title i've ever played) because up until the end of the first mission, there are no cleavage anywhere! Of course in the end, Dr. Naomi Hunter must unbutton most of her shirt for whatever reason, so is Big Mama.
Don't get me wrong, i like sexy woman, but in video games, sexiness seems more important than reality. I'm waiting for the time where game developer can realize that breasts --no matter how big they are-- are not armor!
I believe Microsoft could come out with just as awesome console as Sony PS4, xbox 360 is a prove that they can make an absolutely awesome console despite it's major flaw on the first gen. My only hope is Microsoft can learn from their experience and come out with a much more reliable console this time. And please stop focusing on Kinect.
with the integration with PS Move and a touch screen, i hope Dual Shock 4 would be bulkier and heavier. Love DS3 and Xbox 360 controller, both have pros and cons, but i love the xbox controller more due to its ergonomic design and much,much better trigger buttons
@jeroent123 @sensei_hEnRY many good games are there on PS3, to be honest Killzone is my least favorite. Resistance is the best PS3 FPS exclusive imho, Uncharted series, Heavy Rain, Journey, and of course Metal Gear Solid 4. Not to forget The Last of Us which will come in June.
Watch Dogs will come to PS3, so is Beyond: Two Souls so i might gonna get both of 'em on current gen.
@jeroent123 @sensei_hEnRY start saving up for both consoles too. Love Xbox 360 and PS3.
I had my hope for Aliens: Colonial Marines, especially after Dead Space 3 quite failed to be the successor of my beloved survival horror franchise. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. I would love to see Gearbox try again with the franchise.
@jeroent123 @sensei_hEnRY if you compared it with console port of those games of course Shadow Fall will be better :D. Crytek said that launch titles of next gen consoles won't be too far away from Crysis 3 (especially on PC), so i just curious how next gen console exclusive game can compete with games that specifically made for PC like those 3 games i mentioned.
