Thats so true, Shadow Man is Black and you didn't see any hip hop related stuff.

come on! he can't be ignored!

Yeah black is ok but i agree about less hip hop rubbish, i despise anything to do with rap or gangsta culture. Also we need to get over the whole resi evil dramas, if black people are going to be equal then we can shoot them in games and also make jokes about them. it's ok about making jokes about gays but you make a joke about blacks in some company and your treated like your a hater or something, I'd like to see true equality and none of that positive discrimination BS.

I'm not black nor white! I want a freaking latino protagonist!!! Oh man, alcohol and marijuana are so good...

if marcus fenix was black i would have never bought the video game.....

come on what if marcus fenix was black?there are many multi racial characters in gaming if your gonna make a rant,rant about something like seal clubbing or something i think things are fine just like they are this article just sounds kinda selfish to me there are plenty of ethnic races in games why should any developer have to cater to someone else s whims just because they feel they a being treated unfairly i can't believe people like this throwing pity parties like this all the time always thinking race is an issue

dont-rag

So you bought the game because of marcus fenix, screw the gameplay/graphics/story?

I hope you're a chick. Otherwise a kid loving a steroid man is well....sick.

They need to make a gears spin off with Cole being the main character. Fenix is da man but we need some new sh!t. Cole train "bring it on sucka! that's my kind of Sh!t"

All right! TImes Up! Let's Do This! LEROY JENKINS!!!!!

I really don't care because this kind of sh!t never crosses my mind.

Doesn't matter black, white, tan! is da prince of persia white? we just need good games! plus a cole train spin off!

...he die within the 1st 15 minutes of the game, right before he says where's my fried chicken and grape drank.

half of you people on here are undercover racist any way...if the protagonist of a game was black half of you wouldn't buy it just based on that...an thats being real...97% of all games have white leading characters, even when it was a black leading character ( san adreas) he was portrayed as a gangster and thug...and it got a pass...if solid snake and Marcus fenix was black it wouldn't have sold as well...fact. society may be ready for a black president..but, society still has a long way to go.I'm black and i swear some of the comments on here be racist especially when HHG or 50cent story is up.

lol its crazy that people are still racist these days

im white and the character i picked for knights of the old republic 1 was black not because of his skin color but the way he looks was better then the white looking people and i picked the same one in the sequal though i didn't like the beard they added on the same characters lol

so yeah racist stuff needs to end at some point because it is getting ridiculous

I asked when white history month was and someone told me the other 11 months of the year. I called that person a racist because he made no mention of asian history month.

Anyways, who cares if the main character is black or not? Stop crying about it. It's these same people that probably cry about shooting Kijuju in RE5.

How about a female black homosexual midget, then we will cover it all

Why do I say this? It's simple, because most people now-a-days who live in a real non-racist way of life tend to live and interact with people from all types of races and ethnicity. If your a white kid in school or an employee in any job that does things right it's most likely that your friends, co-workers are from different races than you.

Diversity in games should not have to be pushed it should be natural to have main characters from all races. Developers and some people try to justify racism with statistics and money these days, for example some devs would say that most gamers are white male yet they sell their games all over the world and around 40% of gamers are female.

If you VALUE what makes sense you would agree that nothing should make racism acceptable. Why should foward thinking society accept racism cuz someone's making money off of it or accept it cuz of devs catering to racist's fear of other races?

Like I said: Race diversity in games should be a natural thing.

Is Master Chief black? We'll never know.
