ND said that Ellie is the protagonist. And yeah, Kratos only looks white because of the ashes but the creator said that he was a mixture of white, black, asian and middle eastern and he does look non-white before the ashes.

Oh damn really? That's pretty sick. I know Kratos is voiced by a black dude(I know it's a new voice actor but iirc the last one was black as well). 

I for one am happy to hear you play as Ellie. Kind of expected 50% Ellie 50% joel though. hm........

I'm thinking something i hope is not true right now :( 

I didn't realise that games like Watch Dogs 2 or The Last of Us 2 were being made with China in mind. And have to capture those ~150,000 PS4 owners in India, right. Give me the Asian market mainly China and South Korea have their own developers making games for them and aren't the primary audience for the games we're talking about.

How are you ariving to the 45% conclusion?

I think I know what you're thinking.

Btw, I was just watching PS Access's 20 confirmed 2017 games to play. If we ignore games without default characters, games where we have diversity:

Horizon
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Persona 5
Prey
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Nier: Automata
Gravity Rush

Games where you can only play as a white male characters
RE7
Ni No Kuni 2
NiOh
Outlast 2

Funnily enough most of the games with a white male are Asian games.

Red Dead 2, we don't know who the main character is yet.

Why do you guys want diversity?
Never heard a black person complain about diversity in video games. Never heard anyone complain except white males and politically deranged feminists.

I can say that I couldn't care less about the diversity portrayed... as long as the characters are believable and their gender/race/religion/etc is adherent to the story being told, or set period I'm ok with it. Besides that I don't bother too much thinking "own I don't want to play with a black chick". I loved playing Mirror's Edge even though the protagonist was a hot asian female

In the grand scheme of things, what difference does it make whether a generic main character's skin is white, brown, black, yellow, green, etc or are male or female? Diversity for diversity's sake isn't a huge deal until you want to gender swap or race swap an established character just because, I mean what does that really accomplish?

I have no issue with a more diverse cast in games but I believe storytelling and gameplay are far more important than racial diversity or lack thereof imo. Plus if skin color or gender are deal breakers for some, than they should stick to playing games where you can create your own character like Skyrim and Minecraft.

I don't care honestly, but I think that if the developer is able to, they should at least do a minimum of black/white and male/female. Not for every game, but for ones where you explore and grow( Pokemon, skyrim, MMO's, etc.)

Games can just make customizing your character more often to please everyone. Just have it like Monster Hunter or most MMOs where you tinker with the characters looks at the start of the game.
