Master Chief vs Samus

I just get the feeling they'd lose a lot of their fan base. A lot of the fanboys would be distraught knowing their video game hero isn't a hero, but a heroine.

Samus is different, though, because she's been established as female from the start.

Funny you say that, as that is exactly what happened in Metroid. That was one of the hooks of the original game -- the player had no real idea of Samus' gender until the end of the game, when she took off her suit. Saying that her gender was established from the start is flat-out wrong.

Also, it turns out that I know the guy who did this video... small world. -_-;;
