Perhaps we should wait for gameplay footage before judging? There's nothing wrong with a game featuring a female protagonist.It's about time I get to play as a strong woman of color who gets to kill the white man.
THE FUTURE IS FEMALE.
Aren't the characters on the latest covers Far Cry games usually the Villains?

NPC's are going haywire - POC's good, but Far Cry only shows villains on the covers! I wonder what the Resetera takes are.
Cant believe he wasnt banned yet.Comment # 3 in the Resetera thread
now i have to subscribe to this thread to read all the great faux outrage from the gaming purists here.
i hope for their sake that the game is historically accurate!
Racist bigot!
The cover is kinda crap but let's not devolve into identity politics guys (From both sides lol)

I don't think the cover is crap. What would be crap is if a black female was tied to the car and two white males had weapons and were smirking at the chance to shoot her. I'm just glad the freaking video game industry has slowly started to mature a little bit.
Lol? Why would that be crap and this isnt?
Is it now impossible for a game to have black protagonists without it causing outrage from certain people?
The logical solution to quieten the outrage would surely be to revert back to having exclusively white male leads and then people can relax again. Nothing politically dodgy about that at all.
The whole furore over this and BFV is so creepy when recontextualised by asking those people aggreived what their solution would be ... because the answer could only be "don't be so woke" eg don't use women or people of colour as lead protagonists.
The assumption that the only reason for a developer using women or a black person as a lead is to "be woke and PC" is essentially saying there's no other reason why a game would star a black/female lead.
So this gamer gate culture creates an impossible environment for developers where they can either have white male leads...or be a bunch of SJW virtue signalling fakers. No middle ground? When is it acceptable to have female lead characters? (Maybe games about being a mum, or a teacher, or fashion or dating Sims).

Please tell us how you really feelPlease tell me it’s fake. Please. Please.
cant say wrong but some of us prefer to play as males.

Who is outraged here?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out. People in here talking about outrage and I’m not seeing any outrage over anything but a lame cover for a game probably no one wants.

Source? Reverse image search yielded nothing. Seems more is pointing towards this being legit than anything else.I have seen that cover in the past. like. before farcry 5 was announced
Not sure if serious... That kind of imagery would have never happened at any point in history and in any medium.I don't think the cover is crap. What would be crap is if a black female was tied to the car and two white males had weapons and were smirking at the chance to shoot her. I'm just glad the freaking video game industry has slowly started to mature a little bit.
Tomb raider has existed for years and nobody ever gave a shit. You know BF V had backlash because of other reasons that had nothing to do with "girls in my videa games"
Good points. Tomb Raider existed before this weird GG notion that the only reason devs would use a female lead would be to be "PC". Using threads like this, if it came out as a new AAA action adventure franchise this year, they'd be posters here going "Eidos trying so hard to be woke".
As for BFV...I really never bought the whole"it's not historically accurate line". I like checking post histories, lot's of the most vocal angry people seem to be against representation in general. Even without female characters, the BF series has recently been far from historically accurate. It's an arcade shooter FFS with respawns, perks etc. If people wanting to criticize it's lack of historical accuracy why just stop at the inclusion of women? Because for some people it's not about that, it's about that gamergate feeling that "their hobby" is getting watered down for political reasons... (As opposed to simply being made more inclusive and accessible for more people)
This is great.
Loving the diversity in games now.
This didn't exist 10 years ago
Guess this goes with Ubisofts new agenda
This hasn't even been announced yet and could be fake. But if the game is good I really don't care who my protagonist is.
Somehow it will be the fault of gaming journalism or these elusive SJWs I always hear about but never meet.
Who's the character top left ? really digging it
New agenda ? like you know they didn't make people play POC characters back then in the very first prince of persia, or in Assassin's Creed ? or in Watch Dogs 2 / other games ?
they've always been like that for the sake of diversity, which is welcomed
Your right it's just 3, 4 & 5

it would be even funnier if there is actual edit in your comment.Yassss! Fuck white men.
Edit: Disregard I thought I was on a different forum.
