Lesbian in The Precursors game?

When many people think about the personification of the ‘traditional’ lesbian, it comes with it connotations of a certain appearance: chunky shoes, short hair, plain colored clothing, jeans / combats and a non overly made-up face. Sure we don’t all fit that traditional mold, but it still makes our gaydars twang when we see it right?

So what has this got to do with the long delayed PC / Xbox 360 title ‘The Precursors’ from Kiev based developers Deep Shadows? We’ll let the screenshot after the jump speak for itself. We couldn’t not post it when we saw it. We’ll also include the press release for those actually interested in this game.

The Precursors is a male playable character (as usual – YAWN!), but we spotted the following female character buried in amongst screenshots for the game.. what do you think… we think she ticks a lot of ‘traditional’ boxes.

In-game lesbian? Say it aint so!

Precursors Press Info for those that might care:

Moscow-based software entertainment publisher and developer Play Ten Interactive (PTI) unveiled today a new trailer for its upcoming 360 and PC game “The Precursors”, developed by Deep Shadows.

Precursors combines first-person shooter gameplay based around a deep and rich role-playing game experience with an exciting plot, hundreds of NPCs, an intricate variety of quests, huge open terrains, multitude of fantastic weapons and is scheduled for release in Q1 2009 (was scheduled for release in 2007 – Ed.).

In this highly cinematic movie, the immense sci-fi world of “The Precursors” is presented to the viewers through interactions with sentient birds, a giant mech robot battle, 4+4 driving across merciless alien desert, loading your weapon with creepy crawlies and finally blasting your way in space.

The players take on the role of a young fighter pilot who immediately after graduation becomes involved in a terrible war that is about to consume the known Universe. Using an assortment of weapons and perks, ranging from dinosaur riding to computer hacking, the player and his (ARGHHH!!!! Ed.) three teammates will set out to uncover a secret of ancient races that threatens the balance of powers in the galaxy.

Eight beautiful and detailed planets, a variety of space ships, flyers and other vehicles, and a host of weapons ranging from standard plasma rifles to bizarre spider cannons, are not the only features that make “The Precursors” unique. A well-balanced blend of role-playing engagement and dynamic FPS-style action in a completely open world are characteristic for “The Precursors.”

The thrill of exploring space, adventuring on faraway planets and fighting in great wars between rival galactic empires make for a compelling experience.
In a striking description by Xbox Official Magazine, “Precursors takes a Knights of the Old Republic-style setting and then lets you play through it in a Deus-Ex manner – that is, an FPS with role-playing elements… It looks set to offer all that “more” a gamer could desire”.
