Glad someone said it lol, because the recent prince of persia character was the last straw for me

Ironically AC Origins (also Ubisoft) had a Bayek hair style that was like an early draft of that before Black Panther even came out.

Almost comparable to the white bald space guy marine design that plagued gen 7's boxart and games

At least they've finally moved past bald, cornrows, or afro
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

It's because the devs that make these games never actually met any black people and they are just forcing stereotypes of what they think black people look like.

If gaming companies followed DEI standards this wouldn't be an issue.

About a year ago, there was something in IIRC, WIRED about a small studio made up of blacks, latinos and Asian Americans that was working on hair and skin tone code that would be available as freeware or something for game developers. It's clear developers don't really GAF otherwise. Not sure how the studio's progress is going.

of everything that came out of left field, killmonger destroying black video game characters definitely comes out at top.

Yeah, I'm kinda sick of the Killmonger cut myself. Like, as someone who's been black and been around black people for 30 years, I haven't seen anyone rock that hairstyle IRL

Every white chad in the 2000s looked like Eminem or the linkin park guy so that trend carried over to video games. Lack of hair animation requirements were merely a plus for devs.

I've seen it on one or two people irl, but that was at work (I work at a college), and it wasn't too long after the first Black Panther came out.

anyway, I think it can look good, but the person with the style has to be good looking in the first place for it to work.
Don't you agree, Zach?

I know a guy at work who wears his hair that way. It doesn't hang down his face though, but it's definitely what he's going for.

I forget which game it was, but they had a surprising amounts of black specific styles. I think Hogwarts had some good ones, but I could be mistaken.

The Kilmonger needs to go though. There are plenty of ways to style dreads both short and long. I'd gladly take the fro over it at this point.

I think the hairstyle looks cool but devs already spammed that shit and ruined it in record time.

I give Tekken a pass since they have 2 other black guys and their hair is all different. But they still even got Eddie.
If you say I am wrong, then prove that you are right.

Yeah certain hair styles are over used at certain times. So what?

I haven't played Hogwarts but did see the character creator and yes, they have a lot of different black hair styles. It's pretty cool.

Remember when even Robin from Arkham City looked like Eminem? That was awfully strange
