The upcoming movie Gods of Egypt features an all white cast portraying African Gods.

It has nothing to do with political correctness, and everything to do with privilege and willful ignorance.

99% of the characters in film, tv, or video games are White. This is another FACT.

So why would it matter if an underrepresented group plays a white character? EG. Cleveland being played by a white man. That is a straw man argument.

Video games probably have less than 10 well known Black characters, thus the characters themselves are underrepresented. I mean Barrett and Marlene were like 2 of the 5 black people on the entire planet in all of FF7. So when a ...

Black women and white women have distinct voices. This is a fact. Don't sit here and lie and say a black females voice wouldn't do anything to enhance the authenticity of a black female character. If they wanted a white woman's voice make the character white and keep it moving. It's not like having this one black female is going to do much to dispel the obvious white washing of film, TV, and video games.

Who cares? People who aren't white should care. Here...

Sorry it makes no fucking sense. Give people of color the chance to play the characters of color portrayed in media. It's hard enough just to get developers to put diverse characters in games, now it's a problem of getting a qualified actor of color to play a character of color. I call bullshit.

I think the standard is high for 3rd party exclusives that people think are 1st party games.

Games like Killzone, Knack, Driveclub, Infamous and the Order were average to decent games but not really great games. The best games from Sony first parties are Until Dawn, ND Games, MLB, and LBP.

Last guardian is a PS3 game
RIME and Wild aren't 1st party.
Bloodborne isn't first party.

Better at what exactly?

Microsoft's bread and butter are either the best/ or very high touted in the genre. They especially excel at multiplayer. This doesn't even include 2nd party games by studios like Remedy who did Alan Wake and soon Quantum Break, or Moon Studios who did Ori.

FPS - Halo
Racing Sim - Forza
3rd Person Shooter - Gears
Sandbox 3rd person - Crackdown
Action WRPG - Fable

It's fun but very repetitive. The guns feel awkward compared to other games but this isn't a real shooter. Good framerate. Doesn't seem to take much skill either so great for casuals.

They didn't say that. They said that the focus would be Live subscribers, but if they have strong sales numbers there is nothing stopping them from reporting the numbers.

Microsoft needs to pull out the proposal and ring for Remedy. They are a crown jewel studio.

I'd actually buy a PS4 if it could play PS3 games.
