First Transgender Protagonist in a Video Game?

Love seeing LGBT+ content from rt 🌈

The trans protagonist is admittedly pretty neat. Now all the game needs to do is, like... be good. Hopefully they can manage to do that so I won't have to claim it's a game that prioritized the LGBTQ+ identity of its main character over being a quality product...

yes, the thing every trans person loves. people hyperfocusing on their medical situation.

good vibes

I mean that's nice and all but what is the game? I don't really care if one of the characters is trans, I just want to know what the game is.

HIS LEVEL'S OVER 9000!!!

not the first

Did anyone else try to line up their cursor over the cursor on the laptop in the video? Please tell me I'm not the only one. On topic: Neat! Though what matters isn't the fact that there is a trans protagonist. No, what matters is the overall handling of that subject matter(look at Atlus; they have added important gay and trans characters to many of their games and while I do believe they have good intentions, they have handled those characters VERY poorly over the years with no sign of improving anytime soon), and the quality of the game itself. This is coming from the creators of Life is Strange, so I'm imagining it'll still feel like a cheesy show from the CW. Not that that's a bad thing. Just hoping it'll be like a GOOD cheesy show on the CW, much like Life is Strange. Sadly, since it's from DONTNOD, that means I won't be able to play it anytime soon. I have Life is Strange on my PC, and it barely runs well on minimum settings. Before the Storm and LiS2, forget it. My computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for those games... Looks like I'll miss out yet again. Oh well.

AAA; hmm... One hit does not make a AAA, I'll give them AA, at best. I hit that is cheesy as all meaning they can pull off a good treatment of a main character from one of the more reviled minorities in the world... and they haven't done much in the way of treatments of side characters from that same minority? Things that make you go hmm... That and the dozen other glaring issues starting with, but not at all limited to, them suggesting in the strongest terms that they have no-one with personal experience on the teams involved... the little things really do matter and lack of personal experience is going to make that very hard to replicate... hell, AAA games still churn out terrible female characters in games with great male characters when there _are_ females on the teams involved in the game... so you can see my reticence for being optimistic... I want to be optimistic but life is not a fantasy so... I'll wait and see with popcorn on standby because might as well get something out of it even if it does make things worse for us in the end... (no longer would we be unrepresented - however shitty that representation is *sigh at stupid arguement that always gets trotted out against more inclusiveness in games*) If they can make the level of "one night, hot springs": https://npckc.itch.io/one-night-hot-springs then it would be miraculous, which reminds me I really need to play the sequel... it might not be perfect but, damn, if it isn't good... and I'm not even it's core audience. P.S. Gender is a scale, not a binary... biology agrees (now an intersex or non-binary AAA protagonist dealing with life issues in the real world... defintely fantasy... hey, wait, games are fantasy, aren't they... heh, not fantastical enough I guess - you can be a dragon or a pokemon or a superhuman but only as long as you want to be male or female... and then you wonder why trans people say it is a win to NOT have gender options in a game!!! At least we can imagine even if the devs can't code it then).

Ok. So this is gaming news. I can dig.

Well is the game out and all I care about is how this game will been the knee so yea we will see.

Because it more and likely will
