beanie boos are huge with kids right now. As an adult male I also think they are much cuter than regular beanie babies

The octopus is kind of awesome.

I care because these SJWs decided to stir up controversy where there is none and paint companies and people as racists/bigots/sexist when they have no reason or justification to do. These people just want to get a nice big 'justice' boner on.

Just FYI. As a 3D artist who has worked in games? Ubisoft is actually right. If you're gonna add a whole new female PC, doing it RIGHT takes a lot of time (and time is something which, when moving up to a next-gen platform, can get eaten up fast).
Of course, just reusing the male animations etc and generally crapping…

It's because they have a slightly more yellowish tint than other races, white people have a bit of yellow to them, sort of beige-ish but it's in there, it's just that asians are a slight bit more in that direction.

Okay just to clarify one point: you do realize it wasn't "girls are too hard to animate", right? They weren't saying that female playable characters would take MORE work than male playable characters. They were saying that they take the same amount of work, and it's a HUGE amount of work in this case (high level of…

We've become a generation of entitlement. Instead of trying to make change, we outrage until someone changes it for us.

What restriction are people imposing here?

What restriction are people imposing here? Is someone stopping Ubisoft from making another game with a male protagonist? Are they being heavily fined by people that want something different in their ideal game? Is Ubisoft, who wants nothing more than to make a good game that everybody wants, not allowed to make games…

Because no matter what you do, you can't cater for every single group out there, and someone is going to get offended and flip their shit over it.

don't call people of color people of color, we're not. that's still assuming that white is the "standard" for people, everyone who isn't white is "people of colour".

It's insanity. Yes people have the right to be offended, but everyone seems to be coming off as a delicate little flower in regards to the stupidest perceived slights against race/sex/creed X.

God can you imagine if games like Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior or Conker's Bad Fur Day were released in this day and age with current graphics...we'd never hear the end of it.

I (as someone who isn't white) have to empathise with your frustration here. It's like damned if you do damned if you don't.

So what shall I call them Mister Internet Political Correctness man? I'm not up on the current terms that we're allowed to use.

I thought Ubisoft were making Assassins Creed, not The Life and Times of Charlotte Corday

Am I missing why Kotaku is trying to tell me that is a huge deal? Is this really such a civil rights problem that in the kind of story that Assassin's Creed runs with in the times of history that they go through, that there isn't a major female protagonist? You don't need to shoehorn every group into something for…

OK, that's understandable. But why not do the legwork with the trailer yourself to facilitate discussion, rather than taking a video with all of these hypotheticals? This is just a person talking over a video; that person has no connection to anything. You write for a fairly reputable gaming website; the same…

I think there's a right way to do it, absolutely. Hell, in this video alone there are thematic elements that have been in the saga for ages. Those statues the VO guys seem to like so much have points in common with the intros to a bunch of older Zelda games. Link's cape does, too. Want my attention? Go scrutinize and…

So you didn't publish an article for lack of information and then you turned around and published this?
