I�m just blown away by all the code stuff going by a mile a minute. I�m completely naive to how game programming works so seeing all these lines and strings of text and math fly by is just borderline NASA levels baffling.

every video game is doing that all the time, forever, even when youre just standing still

�since when have they been called �Red Pyramid Thing?� Is this like when they pretended that Aeris has been called Aerith the whole time?

funfact: in the original psx ff7, she's named aerith before you get a chance to name her. when the game calls her name, it defaults to aerith. there's no battles before you get a chance to name her, but if you make one happen with her in the party via hacking, she'll be Aerith.

The writer of shf is some big hot shot novelist

visual novelist specifically, ryukishi07. he wrote higurashi and umineko which you may or may not have heard of.

I'm really liking the art design of Silent Hill F. It doesn't look much like any of the previous games, but that's probably a good thing. Does anyone know anything about Ryukishi07? Seems like he has a lot of fans.

hes a very indie guy. he was like 35 and he couldnt draw but he wrote a mystery horror visual novel, higurashi, about a small japanese town slowly going mad. he released it in parts at an indie art convention in japan, comiket, for 100 yen a part, and he'd give free copies of the sequels to people who emailed him their reviews of the first game. it got very very popular and got an anime. the sequel, umineko, is more a send-up of murder mysteries and locked room stuff than horror.

he's not the world's best writer in a prose sense and he fumbles endings a lot or goes in extremely weird directions with the ideas but hes good at writing characters with complex webs of relationships and how those relationships inform their decisions and thoughts, and higurashi does a good job setting up the tiny town where everyone knows everyone vibe and having that get twisted and corrupted by some kind of mysterious supernatural force preying on everyone's insecurities.

it would be interesting if F is set in a silent hill equivalent before it became full silent hill. like the stuff that's in the backstory of silent hill 1. and the slow twisting of it over time. i think that'd suit his style and would be an interesting direction for a silent hill game to take.

classic 16/32-bit jrpgs were also very anime tbh, its just a lot of the most obviously anime ones didnt get tl'd. 90% of tales of phantasia's marketing was about how they managed to get a single generic jpop song onto the cartridge.

yeah you're right the re2 remake was just a huge waste of time and the reason people don't debate it forever is because well, it's just boring, not because it was a satisfying 8-10 hours that had it's time and place and brought the atmosphere of re2 into the future in a fun way. they should have inserted an additional interdimensional umbrella conspiracy from the movies and revealed this was the second 1998, not the first, to give it that extra pop and potential for more sequels.

if you think those are the things ff7r did then you dont understand ff7r

the harry potter thing isnt really a practical thing (ie: rowling will still have money to do her bullshit even if the game flops) but rather an aesthetcis argument. the game has become publicly associated with insane transphobia and rowling is extremely, extremely loud about her opinions. obviously shes not the only figurehead of a major ip to have awful opinions, or be associated with weird poo poo. like the pokemon devs visited a shrine that mostly commemorates dudes who did war crimes on the chinese in ww2. so it isn't really about harry potter being the one questionable game ever.

its about, like i said, aesthetics. and i dont mean that to be dismissive. rowling is so publicly hateful that everything associated with her becomes part of that image. what people are really expressing is the hurt that comes with realizing how many people who both know about rowling's bullshit and pretend to be woke straight up dont care about them enough to just not buy a video game.

obviously there's trans people who don't give a poo poo either, but its easy to understand why a lot do, and those people have friends and associates who are fully aware of what's going down and straight up dont care and just sorta get defensive and dismissive when called on it. which is hurtful.

arguments about whether other devs are worse or material effect kinda miss the point. its a conversation about the personal hurt that comes with a major public figure spewing hate constantly and her brand basically continuing unabated, not about the personal morality of buying wizard game. people are seeking comfort and reassurance for that hurt and being told 'no ethical consumption under capitalism' and 'well call of duty is bad too' when that isnt really whats going on here.

The only aesthetic thing about buying Harry Potter is that you�re an infantilized adult who only read 1 book (maybe not even read and just watched the movies) and made it your whole personality imo. The rest is just very online stuff.

gently caress JK Rowling but a normal everyday person who grew up with it doesn�t know any of that stuff they want to be a in a wizard high school triple A rpg / action game

please reread my post again. i mentioned specifically 'people who know about rowling's bullshit and pretend to care but still buy the game.' people who dont keep up with that stuff are entirely separate.

that said rowling's views are very public knowledge in the uk, its not 'very online' stuff it comes up on the news and poo poo.

why aren't we discussing the REAL issues, like fujoshis harassing Genshin Impact voice actors

tbh it was really funny when genshin fans decided one of the characters was a racist stereotype of middle easterners so they harassed her va. who is middle eastern. enormous brains.

The REAL Goobusters posted:

Sorry I�m phone posting so I didn�t mean to come off as adversarial to your post. Public knowledge in the UK I don�t think translates to public knowledge in America. Like idk how it is over there but the people over here (at the border of US/Mexico) don�t ever talk about that or choose to ignore it. But that�s just anecdotal.

its not nearly as much of common knowledge in the us yea but like, idk why the us should take priority over other countries or anything. the idea that 'normal people dont know about rowlings views' is only partially true in parts of the world.

i can understand people not wanting to hear about the game because it is associated with bad poo poo i am just extremely jaded about the association of the purchase of consumer products with personal morality

i dont really associate the purchase of it with personal morality its more just like. ign's review has a paragraph going 'well rowling said some transphobic stuff... thats bad... anyway 9/10.' like gently caress off. you dont care. if you cared at all youd actually take a stand lol

or seeing people handwringing about how they wanna buy it but they heard rowling was bad... can anyone weigh in... like if you cared at all for real this wouldnt be a question

im pretty sure nobody is using comcast out of love for the brand but rather because they need high speed internet and its their only option
