What do you mean, Lemmy users get feral when they see anything about AI mentioned.

All the visible bugs in the trailers aside, they used a lot of non- Japanese things to make their game set in Japan, which upset many including Japanese viewers, especially when they claimed the game was a historically accurate depiction of feudal Japan (they have since backpedaled from this and course corrected to a “fictional depiction of history”).

The architecture they featured was Chinese, not Japanese. Yes they are similar, but Japanese viewers were very fast to call this out. They also talked about how the season was inconsistent with the cherry blossoms blooming, as in Japan seasons are very culturally and agriculturally important. The special trailer designed “only for Japanese audience” had subtitles in Chinese. Ubisoft stole a historic reenactment groups logo (they later acknowledged this and apologized but IDK if they actually removed it from the game since it is still on physical promotional goods), they are reselling a replica of a character’s sword from the anime Bleach as if it was a sword from their game. Characters in the game bowing to Yasuke would never have happened historically, as he was a foreigner, but more importantly at that time Japanese towns would have killed a person wearing war armor because some at that time were raiding those towns wearing war armor.

This game has a plethora of other problems I won’t mention. Point is, there are a lot of problems. Problems that could easily have been solved had they asked for input from real Japanese historians or even just Japanese laypeople which they clearly refused to do.

Everything is in a tough spot. Wait for the global economy to not be literal garbage and you’ll see stuff like gaming consoles pick back up.

That’s not a good sign. I mean, I was expecting this, but it’s still embarrassing for Ubisoft.

I’d honestly prefer they just cancel it. People have wanted an AC in feudal Japan for ages, but not like this.

Its not dead. Bruised a bit, sure, but it isn’t dead.

I will only do this for games I know I will like, from studios I want to support.

I literally will wait until a sale ends to buy a game made by Yoko Taro or FromSoftware at full price.

“Concord hurt us really badly and we need the money. Please buy our game so you have to have a PSN account so we can sell your data to third parties.”

I’ll be real, this sounds like a question a criminal would ask.

Super Metroid.

Surface of Crateria has a thunderstorm for the entire length of the game.

Enhanced Edition mod on PC.

Okay, but to be honest DRM was not really something that was stopping me from buying it in the first place.

Bro really be skipping first names even. Literal psychopath behaviour.

Kim would need a brain bigger than the rockets he keeps testing to come up with this idea though.

Or how many ISPs are going to accuse people of illegal internet activity due to constant large data transfers when its literally just a Flight Simulator lol.

Yeah, GoldenEye (and Perfect Dark) with mouse injection has been around for a while. Same with TimeSplitters and Metroid Prime. Only for emulators on PC though.

Theyre not as good as the original sticks though. Bigger deadzone and a different gate. Cool, but not a very accurate replacement. Steel Sticks is a better, if more exclusive, option.

Too bad the N64 mouse only launched with the 64DD in Japan then. Either way, GoldenEye could never be played with a mouse back then. It only took someone creating a special build of an emulator to get it to support it only within the last like 5 years.

You’d rather use the four C Buttons to aim? Controllers don’t exactly have a lot of options. Sure, the most accurate option is “trackball,” but those were only on high end arcade cabinets and PCs at the time. Couldn’t get any of them for under $300 USD. And lightguns woyld have needed more inputs on them than they had at the time, not to mention the N64 never had a lightgun peripheral for it to my knowledge.

Gauntlet Legends.

Extremely expensive to upgrade to and broadcast. Most places that broadcast NFL games still do it in 1080p instead of 4k. NFL makes a lot of money, but not enough for that.

Plus it would take excitement out of the game and players would have more information than the referees. This would lead to disappointment when a play is called or not called or a foul happens the referees didn’t see, etc. This already happens a little bit and NFL fans are heated about it, I don’t think this kind of tech is viable for football.

The sport is an experience, and part of that experience is the current way it is broadcast.

Also:

What could possibly be more American than mock battles over an inflated pig carcass with military tech shit?

This is worded in an unnecessarily rude and inflammatory manner.
