Here is an article from euro gamer where Capcom game remember me was rejected by lots of publishers just because it has a female lead.
http://www.eurogamer.net/artic…..otagonists
I think this is ridiculous. If the game is good i want to play it regardless if the lead is male, female or other. I want to be able to play interesting stories and i hate to think these are being stopped by publishers because of there preconceptions that only x sells. Especially if they only spend the marketing money on male lead first person shooters because that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
After reading this it makes me want to buy remember me day one just to prove a point.
What does everyone else think ?

And they do so well with the diversity in their male heros.

Generally in games that give you a choice of male or female lead, I pick female. I use to play a lot of resident evil and just liked jill over chris because she could pick locks and get more ammo. That and female characters are much better to look at, well nowadays anyway.
But on the topic, publishers like Ubisoft have said they are holding back new IP because they want to introduce it in the next gen. So I'd say there is a lot of that going on right now.
Kickstarter is great for this sort of thing though!

Has tomb raider moved things forward do you think? I feel it could rejuvinate the female lead, the new Lara's not as ridiculously endowed and is a far more believable charachter, flaws, weaknesses and all… Theres also the female cast in the Uncharted games who play a key role and are also not some hyper sexualised distortion of femininity.

Yea Metalshed i hope the fact the new god of war didn't knock tomb raider off the top of the chart starts to dispel this, and that it was the second highest selling god of war.
