So yea, just keep requesting who you want if its something that hasnt been said over and over again (like Crash Bandicoot). Happy gaming and I hope you get character you are looking for
Reasons to have him:
1. Sony Santa Monica owns the character so it isn't hard to get the rights to the IP, unlike other products (even other Sony IP's are hard to get, since you still have to go through their holder)
2. It's cheaper to get Graves, a first party character from inhouse, than a 3rd party character, which allows them to give him away for free instead of charging for DLC. They aren't going to give away Snake.
Reasons not to have him:
1. Starhawk sold less than 200k games worldwide, which was the reason Lightbox, the studio that developed the game, didn't have its contract renewed with Sony and had to lay off a majority of its workers and now is going to try to focus on IOS games.
2. To quote IGN's review of Starhawk and Graves, "...these characters suck..." Basically every critic who reviewed this game said the characters were lame and 2 dimensional.
3. The character design is bland and generic. He looks like basically any other soldier we have seen a thousand times the last decade. Doesn't look cool and has no charm at all.
4. He is not an all-star. His game was a flop, he was widely criticized as a character, most people don't know him and he caused the studio that created him to basically shutter its doors.
I'm not saying he won't be fun to play gameplay wise, but he is a absolutely horrible choice from a character standpoint.
Heisenberg_35_56 wroteThough I do agree with some of your points, Although it flopped Starhawk was a really fun game and felt really tight. Also Emmet is not only a rep for Starhawk but also for Warhawk (even though he isn't actually in those ones) which is a really famous and well liked series
ALSO HE IS FREE!
Well, no, he isn't free. He costs money and time to develop. After the first two weeks, he will cost money. He is free for a limited time. And, as I said, that is one of the reasons he was chosen, because he is a cheap IP to use. This all doesn't change the fact that time that could be used to develop other more liked and popular characters is instead being used on him.
Starhawk may be fun, but that doesn't change the fact that the character is lame. The multiplayer is where Starhawk shined, not the singleplayer.
I don't associate Graves with Warhawk at all, no matter how much you try to fit him in there. He wasn't in the game and he was only in the "spiritual" successor to it, not even a sequel.
Whether I like the character or not, it doesn't matter, as long as he is fun to use. I just think it is an odd choice. If they are going to choose a character from a game that has a cult following, choose someone like Tomba, Dart or Selvaria from Valkyria Chronicles, people have actually asked for those characters.
