On the other hand, this interview is from 2016 and the statement was never been corrected by anyone at Battlestate Games until pressed for comment recently. Since there are still only men as playable characters in the game, one could easily lean towards there being truth to the initial comments made by Dyatlov as representative of the studio’s mental
It is important to say at the top that this promotional event won’t last long. The event runs from now until January 5, at 2:59 pm CST, meaning that players only have about two more days to capitalize on this opportunity for free loot drops. It’s a brilliant move by the development team, as it capitalizes on the game’s current popularity online and gives new players an incentive to join
In Ubisoft’s case, former animator Jonathan Cooper weighed in to disagree, informing fans that adding female animations should really only take a couple of extra days of production; funnily enough, Ubisoft’s next game Assassin’s Creed Syndicate featured the female PC, Evie Frye. Battlestate hasn’t immediately commented on its own decision, but given that the old “too much work” excuse doesn’t seem to work as well these days, perhaps the company will also take a cue from those who have been in their position bef
Battlestate Games’ hardcore online shooter Escape From Tarkov hasn’t reached its full PC release date yet, but the developer has already announced that it doesn’t plan to include any sort of female playable characters into the game. Battlestate has stated two reasons for this decision, including the claim that it would be too much work to create female PCs, though neither of its excuses has gone over well with players who had requested this feat
While Escape From Tarkov has been in development for over a few years now, the game is still in a beta development state. Features are not fully implemented yet and the game isn’t in the most optimized state eit
Escape from Tarkov is a pretty unique title, as it’s a first person MMO-like shooter with story content and quests. Players can unlock special NPC vendors who hand out quests. One unlockable NPC called Jaeger is actually fairly easy to unlock and has quite a few beneficial quests attached to him. Hopefully, this even gives players some great loot to take into their next ra
Now, the developers behind Escape from Tarkov , Battlestate Games, are giving out free in-game loot drops to players who tune in to watch streamers playing their game on Twitch. A fitting move by the development team, now that the holiday season is officially wrapping up. Getting those free loot drops isn’t all too difficult, but there are a few steps that players need to go through before they can snag their free g
The past decade in gaming has seen this problem arise in many different game development studios, excluding female player characters due to the projected workload it would add, and this isn’t even Battlestate’s first time running into a controversy over it. Comments from the company made in 2016, about Escape From Tarkov ‘s vision of war being too stressful for women and only a place for “hardened men,” are now also getting negative attent
Over Twitter, Battlestate recently responded to queries over whether or not Escape From Tarkov would get female PCs with a definitive no, writing that playable female characters wouldn’t fit the “game lore,” and adding that the “huge amount of work” it would take to add in extra animations and gear fitting eliminates the possibility. The game has been growing in popularity recently due to Twitch streamers broadcasting their gameplay, and the heavier spotlight led to Battlestate’s female character comments from 2016 being uneart
With Tarkov having a massive focus on realistic gameplay mechanics, it seems counterproductive that it would include any RPG systems. Paradoxically, having persistent mechanics in Tarkov makes it even more engagi
Russian studio Battlestate Games is in hot water today following the resurfacing of an interview with one of its developers from 2016 and accusations of sexism in the development of Escape From Tarkov . In an interview with Alessio Palumbo at WCCF Tech , developer Pavel Dyatlov spoke about the game and its features, playstyle, platform release plans, https://Tarkovescapezone.Com/ and towards the end of the interview, the absence of wo
Whether or not that–along with the company’s reasoning for denying female PCs–is actually true has been called into question, however, given that Escape From Tarkov does actually have women in it. They’re present as NPCs, and given that the game’s main factions are military-based, it would stand to reason that women might be involved in that. Plus, it’s not as though women haven’t been prominent members of the Russian military for decades, and even though the game’s Russia is technically fictional, its “lore” would still reflect that of the real Russia. Then there’s the fact that Battlestate isn’t the first company to say that adding female characters is too much work; Ubisoft famously said the same in 2014 when discussing Assassin’s Creed: Unity ‘s online mode and Far Cry 4 ‘s director said it again later that y
