Naughty Dog har modtaget stor fanfare fra både fans og presse for at introducere stærke kvindelige karakterer i deres spil, men det lader alle ikke at være helt tilfredse med.
Via et interview hos Gixel med Neil Druckmann, fortæller han hvordan én bestemt fokustester reagerede på bestemte scener.
Endnu en gang - her er tale om spoilers - sidste chance folkens!
Gixel spurgte:
"You've said in the past that you've been influenced by Anita Sarkeesian's Feminist Frequency videos and the larger conversation about diversity and representation in games. How did that affect Uncharted 4?"
Her svarede Druckmann:
"When I'm introducing and describing a new character to our lead character concept artist, constantly she will ask, "What if it was a girl?" And I'm like, Oh, I didn't think about that. Let me think, does that affect or change anything? No? Cool, that's different. Yeah, let's do it.
"Initially, in the epilogue, it was Nate's son. Something similar happened with the mansion they go into. That was an old English guy's house. She asked: Well, what if it was a woman?
"You have some sexist focus testers who were really upset by Nadine beating up Nate, and really upset at the end when it was Nate's daughter. To the point where we had to ask one guy to leave. In his core, it just affected him. He was cursing, "Not you, too, Naughty Dog! Goddammit. I guess I'm done with Uncharted, if you guys ever make another one, with his daughter. This fucking bullshit.""
"And I was like, Wow, why does that matter?"
Ja tak.
