I couldn't imagine a girl in brink's art style looking cute. Brink's universe is full of homely people. The rest of the world is actually fine, the Ark is just where they exile the really ugly people, like a leper colony.

You, sir, win an internet. I completely forgot to add this to the discussion.

Sadly, I think it's one of the better bad examples. Snyder will try to achieve what he did before with 300 and Watchmen, but I guess he will end up with something like Tim Burton's Alice, which I consider a complete let down.

I suppose I'm the only one who thinks Olivier-style girls wouldn't be "cute" anyways.

Is this thread still going? Haven't we disscused this like 10 BILLION times before? We know why they cant add female characters, its not the end of the world, LOTS of games don't have female characters in them, yes brink is supposed to be revolutionary and have very deep customization, why not girls? because doing a crappy job on making female characters and lessing the customization options for males is not what SD wants to do, ITS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL! If they do make a expansion (i doubt it, they will probably just make add-ons) or a sequel, they will probably add females, its not certain because they could have the same problem as they do now when the time comes, but if they can, they will.

I support any people, male or female, who wants to protest against this game and such for not having females but still, its not like hundreds of other games haven't added or cut out woman, and SD are the first developers that ive seen that actually acknowlege that there fans are disapointed about this.

Anywho can we be done with these "WHY NO FEMALES1!?!?!!1111111one11111" topics?

Putting female models into an FPS just seems so... pointless. It'd be so underused it wouldn't even be worth the time it took to craft the basic models out, never mind creating customizations for it and hiring female voice actors. There are female models in Halo and the only time I see a female model in game is when the person playing is actually a girl...

And I don't see very many girls playing at all.

Watch what you say, there are plenty of female gamers, and quite a few on these forums, and Brink is supposed to be deep in customization, thats why everyone was disapointed when females were cut, yes its not THAT big of a deal but its still disapointing, i myself would like to see females in the future tho.

I award you, my dear sir, with a :ninja:.

I do not want to be treated like some lusty thirteen year old because I am certainly not one. I would rather BRINK have no representation of women than treat women as if they were six objects. I'm not here for that. If that is what SD will have to stoop down to in order to get people to play, then count me out.

The ratio of Male to female gamers means that the average gamer will come across very, very few female gamers playing. Even less who actually care that they're playing as a guy. I really don't see why it's so disappointing. The game can be better without them wasting their time making female models and customizations for it...

I really don't see why people are still complaining about this, especially since SD have a legitimate excuse not to have women in the game.

Some people don't see it as a legitimate excuse.

I agree whole-heartedly. Considering they have all of those customization opens I was extremely surprised to note that there is not an option for gender. It only makes sense with the level of depth of customization. It is as in depth as you would find it some of the very best RPGs (Single or MMOs).

I was hoping that SD could break many of the FPS molds present now, including the lack of gender options but sadly not at this time.

Perhaps we will have DLC that will incoroporate gender options.

I believe I said they have NPC female characters in Brink in an earlier post. So yes there are female characters, but not playable ones.

And TreISGod when I play Halo I see guys with female chars all the time, because they have slim bodies or they are pervy old men.

ill say it once again BRINK 2= FEMALES

I heard a really lame excuse that some players used females so they could tell when the 98% of the rest of the gamer populace who plays male characters sprints or evades towards them, they'll be able to differentiate the sounds of their character versus the attacker. Which is a load, because I can tell the difference between my character sprinting and another guy sprinting next to or behind me. The audio cues are subtle, yes, but they exist for those sharp enough to notice. I am reminded of this every time my brother (poor little nub) comes over and plays; I see all these small, quick signals that he is about to get his ass handed to him on a silver platter and he never sees it coming.

Actually one time some people said they played as a fem because their slim body was harder to hit. haha

I despise the supremely and willfuly ignorant that way.

The only reason I toyed with a female model was to hear her campaign dialogue lines (in some cases it is AWESOME, especially "I aim to please" at the end of ONI Sword Base), but I'm quite alright with my male model.

Still, having a distinctly different physique for female characters was a nice touch by Bungie for their final Halo game. It would be great to see a Brink 2 do the same.

can u guys keep on the topic of brink every topic i go in someone starts talking about halo or cod talk about brink in the BRINK FORUMSA IF U WANNA TALK ABOUT THOSE GAMES GO TO THIER FORUMS

I still don't understand when people say heavy female characters, other people think fat or big boned. When I say heavy female character, I think female char that has the same body type as the heavy (Which is big and has muscle). So I don't mean fat when I say heavy fem.

Although we all hope for this to be true, that hasn't been guaranteed yet.


Caps lock won't get you very far on these forums, nor will dissuading others from talking about a certain subject. People will anologize to Halo or COD whether you like it or not.

idc thier just gonna get banned and then we wont have to worry about them now will we?

They won't.

I've been getting off topic all the time and I'm not banned. And no one really worries about when people get off topic except if they won't want the topic locked.

And I tied my final post back in to Brink anyway after our brief Halo tangent.

Besides, it was rather relevant once you consider that despite the differences in build and appearance, male and female models have the same hitboxes. This is important: if a female had a smaller hitbox, everyone would be playing a female becuase they'd be harder to hit. In Brink, this wouldn't be an issue so much because hitbox size and health would be related to build, not gender. So now 8 out of 10 potential Brink players wants to be a Light character. Coincidence? I think not.

Every topic I go in some kid starts telling people to stop talking about anything else but BRINK completely ignoring the thread. <_<
