What happened to the Magic City Man genre of games such as Infamous and Prototype?

too problematic to have a straight white male gain ANOTHER privilege

>>719193363 (OP)
It's crazy there's not a single good run up buildings comfy parkour thing since then

>>719193736
Why not just make him Black or Native American or smth

>>719193835
they tried that with heller and delsin and they both sucked

>>719193835
now no one will play it

>management forces you to make the protagonist a stronk black man

Make him Mexican instead

All this games had the angry [insert race here] man character.

A lot of them were open world and that was the ginmick, but nowdays open world is not as impressive, so they kind of stopped making them. Also they were kind of AA games and those just aren't made as much anymore

No one wanted to play as a generic angry black army man that says the fuck word. They wanted to play as the edgelord Alex Mercer.

>>719193997
That they ruined Alex's character developement from first game for this, is unforgivable.

>>719193829
Possibly everyone saw it as a ripoff of Assassins Creed

>by the end of the first game it's revealed that the real Alex Mercer was a sociopath who doomed the city to begin with and Zeus is a more humane and empathetic person than he was
>even after assimilating the memories of the worst black ops murderers and mad scientists to ever live
>Zeus risked its continuing existence to protect innocent people from being nuked
>in a supplemental comic book, Zeus meets a woman and is robbed by her
>this convinces him that humanity is an unsalvageable blight and must be exterminated
Now that's what I call character assassination

Imagine being a woman and killing and eating other women to take their appearance and climb the social ladder
