#RATCHET AND CLANK RIVET PIRN SERIES#

(Then again, the series isn't exactly known for its character writing, so that story probably wouldn't have panned out anyway.)

I think it would've been an interesting dynamic for police chief Talwyn to realize that her boyfriend's alternate dimension self was a happy-go-lucky career thief, while her own hero boyfriend seems to have been getting more and more emotionally exhausted over a dozen-ish games of trying to do the most good. They seem like the most fun, especially if they had the chance to meet Talwyn. These are all good, but most of them after the first row seem more like side characters than a main playable character for a run-n-gunner.įrom a writing standpoint, though, I would've liked to meet one of the three Rivets on the bottom left. I think they landed on the right design for Rivet on a gameplay standpoint. Many of them are just plain, old, gruff, downright ugly or even better, simply devoid of human characteristics.įind me a space opera about a balding overweight man. Male characters do not suffer from this injonction. There is next to no female main character who isn't conventionally attractive in some way. slippery to say female Rachni, Krogan, Turians, Salarians, Angara can't be used to refute this 'because their most prominent characters aren't women.' One, you're looking at a game that was inspired by campy sci-fi from the 60's and 70's, so yeah, Tali and Liara both have boobs, but it's also kind of. Is it a coincidence every race whose most proeminent character is female has human sexual characteristics ? I could cite many examples. I.e : look at Mass Effect and the design for Garrus vs Tali. (Not necessarily accusing you of this, by the way, but I need to include an obligatory 'yes I know male game developers often do things that HR doesn't like' because this is Reddit and someone will, sooner or later 'um, well ACTUALLY' me.) This definitely isn't how professionals are supposed to behave in the workplace. It's the Hideo Kojima 'she breathes through her skin', but in reverse.Īt one point my CD yelled at me in front of the whole office because I kept saying “Lombax Tiddies” very loudly in the office whenever anyone would bring up Rivet’s design and it Made People Uncomfortable Don't suddenly pretend like you give a damn about science in a series that is definitely not hard sci-fi. If you want to censor a character design because feminist theory says it's offensive to women, then just say that's why you're doing it. I really doubt she sent any emails complaining about the negative energy requirements needed to get an Alcubierre drive working, or about how the starships don't have nearly enough radiators to manage waste heat. Rachet and Clank games also feature FTL travel. “Why would an alien mousedog have human female secondary sex characteristics? Are Lombax mammals? Do they breast feed their young? If we don’t answer these questions, THE INTERNET SURE WILL” this is a real thing!!!!!!! I had to email!!!!!!!!! At my real job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think being apalled a 3D Lombax needs boobs and make up is a legitimate thing. Many of them are just plain, old, gruff, downright ugly or even better, simply devoid of human characteristics. That's what is inherently wrong with a female character being attractive.

I don't think a chara designer for an AAA company ever went 'hmmm how can I make this male alien fuckable ?'.

Plus her final design and most of the concepts still retain the same design philosophy : make an alien look like an attractive woman.Īlso please don't use the ' but men too ' argument.
