Re: New MALE and FEMALE version skins for heroes like Mirage, Bangladore, Crypto, Wr

What you on about male and female?? I thought we were all gender neutral these days and male and female didn't exist anymore??

  • Its those ironic comments that make it even more a thing :/ . I think it would give nice options to people on their preferences

    Warframe tried this, and after one character they said, "f'ck this time consuming sh't, new frames only", or something along those lines. Lore aside "cause respawn does care about it, and will not rip it apart for a surprise sibling" I doubt hit boxes will survive, let alone the process of hiring a new voice actor just for alt version of an already established character.

    You also bring up this idea adding diversity but it's not real diversity, just lazy pandering. Close example "it's using race instead of gender, but the reaction would be similar" was when warner bros decided to make a movie with a black superman, did fans hate the idea ? No, superman has been around for decades with few multiversal doppelgangers or clone characters, so surely they did a bit of research to - then the stupidity came, instead bringing any of them to spotlight, they decided to just make Clarke Kent black -_- . Out of all the possibilities, they use Kal-el simply because people recognize him. Do you think people accepted with anticipation let alone black comic book readers ? No, but you could google it to see for yourself.

    If respawn decided to announce a male french character, only to reveal later on that it's a Wattson skin, the reaction wouldn't be pretty.

    You are not compering Black Superman to my sibling gender skin are you ?? Cause its frogs and elephants man, stop it. All reasons you mentioned are stupid really, just give a female mirage a hitbox of wrath and viceverse, also a new voice actor is a problem, really ? chances are all of their voice actors at this stage can do different voices as all voice actors can. So its a few hour extra job for them. As for lore, i can see your point but a i myself would not mind a filler char without lore, idk why would anyone

  • @lDarrekl You’re last post really shows you know barely anything about graphical designing, game development or even voice acting... “few hour extra job”... yea right, “just give female mirage hitbox of wraith”... yup, it’s really that easy

    @lDarrekl They could spend the hundreds of hours you mention and throw all the lore in the trash or some people could stop being sexist.......🤷‍♂️
  • @lDarrekl You realise there are lots of voice actors, one for each language available? Not sure the English language version of Revenant can do a Spanish female one.
  • I am a graphic desinger so i do acctualy, don't know other skills that good but its not that big of a problem you make it, and you cant make this big game without investing in it so please stop.
