Awesome, so Japanese settings will soon be oversaturated in games. We already got Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima (and will presumably get a sequel), and whatever that other Monster Hunter style game was. We will also be getting an Assassin’s Creed in Japan. Sounds like Santa Monica doesn’t know what to do so they are following trends. Really don’t think Kratos belongs in Japan.
It is 😬 I really appreciated the nuance they covered the topic with because holy shit
It was also weird to hear one of the interviewed players talk about how people were moved to tears because of how patriotic some of the stories were. Really curious what that even means
I guess a “patriotic story” could be made in any country about its respective fight for independence, and/or any war. Something like every character having a well built background, then sacrificing it for the greater good.
Maybe with the goal being to unmask the traitor, but the traitor being an NPC, then everyone learning of everyone else’s sacrifices as the game progressed, empathizing and ending up crying?
Dunno, I guess there could be many ways to make a mostly scripted game a patriotic one, when nobody can say “I throw a box of lit dynamite sticks into the air and cry Leeeroooy!!”, or “A book? I read aloud whatever it says. Ph’nglui mglw’nafh…”
It’s always been a muscle man soap opera with stupid hair. (Though, in the realm of fighting games it still has one of the most fleshed out storylines.)
Visually, Tekken 8 is definitely for the fans of “bitchin van art”. Admittedly not everybody’s cup of tea.
But… if you like that sorta thing it’s got some pretty badass moments. Lightning, lava, giant demons - it’s the whole package!
When I played that game, it didn’t have a lobby. But it sounds like you had to basically pause the game to advance, which is just bad design if you ask me.
Really hope to see a jailbreak for it soon. The hardware is beautifully made and feels like a real PS5 controller. It’s just the software is awfully limiting.
