Sony Online Entertainment's head of business development, David Christensen, has pointed to some naiveté when it comes to the Western understanding of other cultures.
He was speaking following the unveiling of the publisher's new MMO, which takes inspiration from a holy Hindu poem, and aims to promote awareness of the religion to Western audiences.
"Unfortunately I think most people - not just those in the gaming industry - are a bit naïve when it comes to any culture but their own, which is precisely why SOE believes it is of the utmost importance to partner with local talent in every foreign market we enter," David Christensen told Eurogamer. "To be successful in a territory you have to think like the consumers there."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Awesome. This is Mullet MadJack in a nutshell. It could have easily been just another first-person shooter with a neat visual gimmick, but its developers went above and beyond with a lot of style and a fantastic gameplay loop, which is equally enjoyable in either Easy or Hard difficulties, for completely different reasons. It doesn’t matter if you just want to feel overpowered against an army of robots, or if you’re looking for a challenge: Mullet MadJack delivers in spades. This one is an absolute must-have, and one of the most delightful hidden gems of the year so far."
Stunlock confirmed to Wccftech PC-PS5 crossplay for V Rising is 'pretty unlikely'. They also commented on potential ports to other consoles.
The cover art for Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows has been leaked online, and it confirms that the game will feature dual protagonists.
The samurai dude is black....because of course he is. Because that makes total f***ing sense. I honestly wouldn't expect anything less from Ubisoft.
Yasuke, he was a samurai who served under Nobunaga and was in fact black. However that is where his foot note in history begins and ends as he seemingly did nothing of note throughout his service.
There are far better general's they could have focused on who had major moments in history... But nope.
EDIT: I do want to add though, that since there is nothing of note from him in history, it does open up what you can do from a fictional writing stand point.
@Hofstaderman Would be interesting if that armor actually slowed you down during stealth gameplay.
You are such a dumb ass racist, I honestly wouldn't expect anything less from you either.
Good luck to them... I'm used to FFXI where you constantly see messages like "JPN ONLY" or "NA NO."
Some of the best parties I had were JPN parties, but there were lots around who wanted nothing to do with North Americans.
Making MMO's? Didn't Blizzard give them the boot? Come on, give up your MMO's suck.
