Thoughts?

http://www.gamespot.com/news/women-are-the-new-core-says-microsoft-narrative-designer-6406037

 

I can kinda' see where he's going but it can either be good or really really bad and when I say really really bad I mean Kinect and Dancing Family on stage at E3 Bad. And if they actually put a dancing family on stage at E3 I will...I don't know what I'll do.

What a tool. He should have said women are PART OF the core, saying they are the new core is like saying men are not. Dumbass.

Thank you for posting the article, I had not read it and I did read all of GS articles earlier.

People are angry about the link.

I think this link can be helpful.

This link helps paint a picture of the thinking going on by the suits controlling the brand over at X-HQ.

Pretty sure I said I see where he's going with it. And are you saying don't be sexism or don't be sexy or don't be a sexy sexism because if sexism isn't sexy then being a sexy sexist is going to take a lot of skill, and between this forum and my ps3 and my guitar and my drums and my job and training and Taylor Swift, I don't know if I can squeeze off enough time to pull this off. But I have been known to be sexy. NOT SEXIST

Hard to disagree with. Though I wonder what popular games there have been that have "female appeal." Is there really a difference in terms of gameplay between a game made for girls vs guys? Or is it just a matter of characters and stories?

whiskeystrike
It doesn't really explain what they mean. Either they're going for a casual audience that involved getting more women into gaming, they're integrating more strong female characters into their games, or they ARE actually saying that women ARE the core gamers. Ok first of all, half the girls who claim to be gamers are fakers who only say that to attract guys because they know most guys find girls who play video games attractive and every guy wants a girlfriend he can play co op with once a while. Not being sexist but being realistic and honest. And It's funny cause with this news Lems at this point who've been defending MS must be thinking "Come on M$ you're killing me here." But I do want to point out that SOny has had a lot of strong female protagonists exclusives. Heavenly Sword, Heavy Rain, That upcoming Quantic Dream Game, Uncharted's Nathan's girlfriends, Meryl from MGS4. So this is something Sony has already been doing. IDK Lems this isn't looking too good.

In story-driven games I think girls, and guys like them equally, but in competitive multiplayer gaming it seems girls don't really make up much of the audience.
