Going back to E3 2012, for example, we saw the first
playable female character in an Assassin's Creed game, a lead based
on Academy Award nominee Ellen Page in Beyond: Two Souls, and even a strong teenaged female character in The Last of Us (we'll reserve judgment for Tomb Raider's actual treatment of Lara Croft for a
later date).
