Empathy Video Games

This article talks more about creating characters and how gamers can identify and empathize with them. The two main examples are Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider franchise and Elizabeth from Bio-Shock Infinite, theres a little bit about new game release The Last Of Us as well.

'I've never cared for characters as much as I've cared for Joel and Ellie,' " Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann
This is a nice quote taken from the article which shows that game developers/ creative directors are taking more care and attention in developing their games character.


This article has showed me that i should narrow down my search on games in general and pick some well known characters and see how the game developers make them so well known and loved.
