White Characters?
I'm not sure if I wanna try this game. Anyone know if there's any white characters? Even British?
I never loved Eva Braun

Its a game about a undercover Hong Kong Cop infiltrating and Taking out a Triad in a city that is over 90% Chinese.

Naw not racists. Just saying based on the trailer and the setting of the game; it doesnt seem there are many non-Chinese characters.
The trailer shows and states the main Character is an undercover cop in Hong Kong inflitrating the Triads. Hong Kong is a mostly Chinese City, The Triads a Chinese Based Organized Crime Organization or any Mafia Type Organizations are not known for being ethinacally diverse. A white cop in Hong Kong isn't going to be let in the the ranks of the Hong Kong Triads.
It is like Don Corleon in The GodFather taking in a Black Protege or Making a Japanese Ganster into a "Made Man". Another movie example is "The Departed" replace Leonardo's DiCaprios character. A white Bostonian inflitrating the Irish Mob with Bruce Lee a Chinese Guy.
I know White people has always been part of Hong Kong as well as Indian. They just don't seem to fit in as the main characters an undercove hong kong cop in this game.
If their are non-chinese characters in the game they would probally be everday people office workers if native hong kongers or tourists.
Hell if they type casted the white guy as the mob boss now that would be slightly racists. Any time a white guy is in hing kong film he is the hidden betrayer crime boss of the main chinese lead.
Hell I love Grand Theft Auto for its ethnic diversity of gangster A-Holes.
Damn in need to grammar check and spell check my post.
shareIf you want to play a Caucasian character... play pretty much ANY other game in existence.

Lol Wataru beat me to it...I doubt this game has any black characters in the game nor do I care, I'm still going to want to play it. Who knows if Kenji is either a legit racist, or a troll, or a self-hating Asian lol
Please I beg you to look into my history and make fun of me. It will definitely show me...
because we can't have a single videogame or movie without white people...
shareThere are 6 non Chinese/East Asian characters in the game:
Pendrew: Middle aged white British man who works as a police superintendent and supervises Wei Shen while he's working undercover- voiced by British actor Tom Wilkinson
Amanda: A young American woman living in Hong Kong who is a potential girlfriend for Wei Shen- voiced by American actress Emma Stone
King: An African-American record producer who's ostensibly come to Hong Kong to produce an album for pop star Vivienne Lu. However, he reveals to Wei that his real reason for coming to Hong Kong is to set up a drug connection in the area- voiced by American actor James C. Mathis III
Naz: An East Indian triad associate who moonlights as a police informant- voiced by British actor T.J. Ramini
Ilyana: A Russian immigrant who works at K-Bar. She is also a potential girlfriend for Wei- voiced by American actress Megan Goldsmith
Katushka: Another Russian immigrant who works at K-Bar. She is not a potential girlfriend, but Wei encounters her a few times in the game-
it would have been nice to have a bit more diversity in the NPCs, a few random tourists or something, but it's not a big deal
it's definitely a nice change to experience a different culture and setting as opposed to GTA and Saints Row which are almost all based in USA
