Do you know about the Special Forces thing and females.

Just had to mention it, your military mention reminded me of it.

Odd, I can't imagine this.

You know what's weird? This is one of the few (if only) games I've seen where people got all upset over the lack of female character models.

I never once heard any complaints about the lack of females in Black Ops or the Battlefield games.

Anyway, if SD decided to just give in and make female character models, the game would be pushed back the end of summer or even the holiday season.

That's because you couldn't dress them according to your liking anyway.


Remember that scene from Iron Man in the very beginning, with the female soldier?

I think people are crying about the lack of female characters becuse they can't find anything else to complain about kinda sad really.

If there were female characters all the competition would be played with them, because of smaller hitboxes. Forget heavy, how could there even be a woman with as broad shoulders as the medium.

lol this thread is getting pretty sixist.

Carry on.

lol, I got banned for saying less

In Rainbow Six Vegas, there is only males in the main story, but when you hop online you can make a female character. I linked my girl with a 360 so we can play games online. I got her Vegas so we can do Terrorist Hunt together, a coop game. When we started the game I noticed she was using a female model character lol

I dont think upset is the right word.

...vegas 2 you can make fem chars in story without any online interactions at all including ranks and armor Brink's thing with you single is your multi-player char RB6-Vegas2 kinda had that goin you look the same get the same unlocks online or off but way less exp unless you play on hardest setting only 2 person co0op and 1P is Bishop 2P is Knight (your model they're names) ,RB6-Vegas 1 the only way to get YOUR char is by going online making him THAN going single and choosing in options your Custom Character.

As a female gamer who usually prefers playing as females, I hope they add female characters in the far future in the sequel. (I don't have online access on my consoles, so DLC's are out of the question for me).

well like i've said twice before the more content people want the longer BRIINK will take and a fem char in Brink is not possible right now DLC's don't come big enough so no hope of Fems in part one maybe BRIINK.

Yeah, I'm hoping in Brink 2, there would be females. I agree with you that having female characters (with their own animations, hit boxes, and customizations and balancing) would be too much content for a DLC. Soooo... I hope Brink 2, pretty please? :icecream:

Regarding the "time" thing, I'd rather a game company take their time making as much content as possible instead of rushing the game out the door and then expect people to pay tons of DLC's to make up for the lack of content, lol. =P

I'd rather have an awesome game with as much content as possible, even if I have to wait longer. (Hey, Pixar take about 4-5 YEARS making their movies, and their movies are the best animated movies I have ever seen.)

Crackdown suffered from the same issues that I can see with Brink in regards to female characters. How do you handle big characters? In Crackdown, you level up to be a huuuuge 9 foot tall behemoth that makes Arnold Schwarzenegger look like a pansy, but it's cool because they just make him unfeasibly muscular. With a woman you either make her incredibly muscular or bulky and result in having ugly freaks for girls (remember what being evil and being a female was like in Fable?) or you make them big boobed, weird proportioned females that video games have been bogged down with for years now. How to you make a heavy customizable female?

mmmm I love me a heavy female

I think it's fine to not have females in brink if you say that all the woman and children are hiding in the houses

Yeah but that's a traditional, conservative view of weak women that aren't equal to the men and can't fight or stand up for themselves that shouldn't be reflected in games and stuff. That represents women as inferior. I know that's far from that they mean, but it is what is conveyed, and I know people shouldn't read into it so deep, but people always do.

well i haven't seen any videos saying there's no women because they can't fight or are to weak but because they can't afford it or don't have the time.

It's not impossible to do a large female character without her looking grotesque, a 6ft 4 woman can still be proportional and look quite normal unless a 5ft 8 guy is standing beside her, then she looks big, it's the time and effort not to mention money, to do the motion capture for 3 bodytypes, set the animations and cofigure at least as many outfit customizations to make no difference in gameplay or replayability that can make a publisher wonder if the cost is acceptable. Richard Ham, creative director for Splash Damage already stated a new class would be too much for DLC, I doubt a new set of archetypes with full customization would be remotely possible

in short D.L.C. impossible, BRIINK unlikely but maybe.
i don't think it a huge idea cause kinda not supposed to focus on gender so much as capability said it before and i'll say that again.
although I'm a guy so maybe not as huge for me I know I've had fem chars not for model but for design and clothing options just wanting to explore all the options as a natural treasure hunter.

On the Ark, an unnamed disease has run rampant. This disease is devastating to whoever contracts it, to such a degree that makes the bubonic plague seem as threatening as the common cold. However, due to something which can only be described as extraordinary luck, men of ages 18 and older are somehow immune. Upon further research, it was discovered that this immunity was brought about by the men's fully developed immune systems working in tandem with an irregularity present on every grown man's Y-chromosome. Because the combined efforts of a fully matured immune system and an irregularity which is only present on the Y-chromosome is the only known way to combat this disease, all women and children have been forced to either flee the Ark or succumb to the disease. As a result, all that remains to be portrayed in Brink is men aged 18 or older.

Brink 2, if it happens, will quite likely have female characters, or at least one. The developers listen

Why are people thinking of brink 2, brink isnt even out yet!

The reason they cannot put females is because they needed to make a choice.

1.severly reduce customization options to create female characters and have the same amout of cloths and such, as males(which would be down to lik 3 archtypes to make room for females).

2. Keep males and the large amount of customization options but have no females.

So lots of customization options which what brink is about.
Or have females and very few customization options.

I think the choice is clear.

It also causes sick free running skills.

I could buy something like that.

All males are immune, or women are sacred and being held hostage inside shacks (lololo jokes), or something of that sort. It would work.

While it's a very nice story, it doesn't really fit in with the current story.
They won't even have to flee the ark, because they will die anyways, because there are no women left.
Or do they have In vitro Fertilisation there? Perhaps cloning?
