USGamer: "There aren't many of us Indians around the gaming industry, much less so in leading roles in blockbuster, triple-A games. So when I sat down to talk with Janina Gavankar recently, I was intrigued as to how her heritage had impacted her gaming in childhood, as it did mine, as well as how she landed the role of Commander Iden Versio in Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Following a recent interview with Sony, Naughty Dog head Neil Druckmann claims the original intent was “unfortunately lost” in the process.
Glad he clarified it but i'm still somewhat skeptical. Plus, his comments about how Ai will revolutionize storytelling were still pretty iffy.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
CD Projekt RED and Yigsoft have launched The Witcher 3 REDkit on PC. We interviewed both studios to discuss the release of these mod tools.
There would be if thats what people cared about.
We dont care about diversity. Just good games. You want a lead indian chick thats fine but make it a good game first and foremost. Nobody identifies with these characters...they can perhaps identify with the story surrounding the character but not with the physical appearance of the character.
Same with movies. You dont watch them because you identify with the lead roles. You watch it for the story.
And im not sure you want to compare hollywood to gaming. A bunch of pedophiles in that industry so i wouldnt take it as a good thing if this actress thinks gaming is ahead of hollywood...definitely ahead with all the bullshit though.
Good for you. *slow clap*
The Shiba!
Bloody hell. She's bloody hot. Now I suppose I better read the story :)

This might have something to do with Indians making up only 1% of the US population. Interestingly enough though, despite the relative shortage of forced diversity by progressives, Indian-Americans are still the highest income earning ethnic group in the US. With the average Indian household making $107,000 per year, compared to the average "white" household making about $60,000 a year.
