And we made all the characters basically interchangeable and generic looking, because we know how much you Westerners hate diversity.
I really hope this is good, but there's something, I can't point exactly what, that makes me worry about it.

Uniforms typically DO make people look the same. Sorry, but I'll take people that at least look like they're supposed to be in combat versus whatever the hell FF has turned into at times.

You mean beside the fact that they're diving headfirst into a bloated market instead of relying on their unique and awesome brawling system?
Or that developing this is holding back the next Yakuza game?
Or that this probably won't have a crane machine or Boxcelios.

Drakengard, I was more referring to the all white ensemble with obligatory female eye-candy and a token minority.
But yeah, I understand that they're going for the whole North American action movie thing, so why not employ the same tropes we end up using too?

This isn't a blog about designing Binary Domain for a western market, this is a blog about whats in his game and why we should like it.
MASSIVE letdown. I was hoping for some real insight into this games process, and how they are using their knowledge of the western market to cater this game to us exclusively. Instead, I got an advertisement.
Fucking lame.

To be fair, we've been receiving Yakuza games quite often. We'll have had 3 within a few years. The demo for Binary Domain is really good and I'm glad they're doing something different for their studio. The robot enemies are a lot of fun.
I tried the demo yesterday (via Japan's PSN) and had a really good time. Other than no inverted aim and no knowledge of Japanese to make use of the voice recognition, it's a really solid shooter.
Hell, if the Yakuza team made a puzzle/dating sim/monster collection game, I'd probably like it. They've proven themselves time and again with the classic Yakuza series, which this 'Westerner' (me) is a huge fan of.

@bodybreak I dont agree, there are only 5 characters plus a robot and to me the roster looks well balanced since they are supposed to be elite soldiers from around the world, just like street fighter 2 is where funnily enough ive never heard the same criticism. Also that character on the left is a women aswell.
I put this and the racist crap from Resident Evil 5 as the same PC BS.
I think games can be stereotypical as the next man but the games that ppl single out are examples where the the characterisation is fitting to the game

@StMcDuck
But if you want a solid shooter, it seems like there are better candidates unless this game really is among the cream of the crop. Liking the demo is one thing. Dropping $60 on it when Gears of War 3 is out is another thing altogether.

Well tbh with so many ppl like bodybreak having negative pre conceptions about the game I cant really fault the devs for putting this kind of PR out.

I just want a shooter that
A) Isn't broken, and
B) has a good story with believable characters that I care about and to whom I can feel emotionally invested in their plight.
Is that asking for too much?

Sounds like what you need is a double dose of Uncharted.
Now about this game. I think the charatsrs are better suited for a game of this type. Plus it's better than having annoying screaming 15 year olds in skirts as playable characters.
Ima right?

When I first read about Binary Domain sometime last year, I added it to my list of games to keep an eye on. Since then, it seems like everything's gotten so sterile-looking and white-washed. I only hope the best for this game, especially since I absolutely loved the first Yakuza game on my old PS2. Only time will tell, though. 4 weeks and we'll see.
I believe Binary Domain will be one of the underdog hits of the 2012. Everything about it sounds so good, but then again, everything sounded good about Alpha Protocol until I played it....
Remaining optimistic, though!
