Has there been more of a franchise assassination than God of War? It used to be this metal power fantasy but got turned into complete neutered nu-soyshit, and now most normalnigs associate the series with it.

Is it possible that one fucking faggot from California and his company is responsible for this hideous practice of disrespecting the source material? Victor Ireland co-founded Wrecking Designs in 1990, during a time when most English vidya translations were sub-par machine translations mixed with some poor salary man trying his best with what little English knowledge he gained in Japanese high school. They took the western gaming scene by storm with their translations that actually read like proper English. Little did vidya enthusiasts know back then, that this egomaniac faggot didn't just translate the Japanese games he brought over, he actually made them into his own. So imagine this, you want to translate Japanese video games but the translators you hired aren't good enough so what do you do? Just make shit up and insert a bunch of shitty jokes everywhere and call it From former Wrecking Designs translator Tim Trzepacz: >The thing to remember is that Working Designs had really terrible translators until I came along. They were hiring some company out of San Francisco and the translators there didn’t really know English. They could translate the Japanese, but they didn’t really understand what the idiom was they were translating to. And everything was coming out of a spreadsheet so it wasn’t even in context. Japanese is a very context-sensitive language. So to a certain degree [Working Designs co-founder Victor Ireland] had no choice but to make things up as he went, because he had very little to go on. When I came in, I brought in two well-known fan-translators, C. Sue Shambaugh and Richard Kim, who ratcheted up the quality of the translations tremendously. Now things made sense! But by then Victor kinda already had his process down, he liked rewriting it and adding the comedy in. https://archive.md/TPVZX To quote the faggot himself: >Oh this script is really boring, let me put some funny stuff in here. So I would insert funny lines that really had nothing to do with what was going on. And that sort of evolved. I continued doing that, did more of it, and people generally liked it [because] they were seeing writing that they never saw in Japanese-localized or translated games, like ‘Holy crap, this is amazing’. Source https://archive.md/K5cvw Here's one of the most famous examples of localization from Lunar 2 on the Sega CD: >Girlie, if I were in the position to throw away cash on bums, you'd call me Clinton and I'd be president. I can't find the Japanese line online and I don't feel like searching through the Japanese script, but I assure you it's probably not a shitty Clinton joke.

These are the same niggers that have been raping fire emblem since its inception on the 3Ds, so much so that the rapes have been accepted as canon over the original material.

>>9753 I always thought old racing games were hell on earth in terms of licensing hence the lack of remakes, something like Midnight Club 3 would be a major pain in the ass due to the unholy amounts of licensed shit in it including the very comprehensive soundtrack and varied car list
>>4816 >>4819 >>5027 I enjoyed Gran Turismo The Movie. In fact I went knowing that I would enjoy it more at the cinema anticipating the stuff happening in it as a comedy than I would at home where I'd have the choice of functionally every movie ever made and have that in the back of my mind watching it - whereas if you go the cinema and (preferably) go in smiling, then it's exclusively the source material's fault or not in terms of coloring how you end up experiencing it, notwithstanding other people who cough & eat popcorn or what not. Orlando Bloom in it does great. Successfully carries some of the most diabolical lines given in a movie about car nerds. "Now Le Mans is a race lasting 24 whole hours.." Big respect for being able to carry it. The blacktor playing the character I will call "Angry Dad" actually had some range, that he could do. The script doesn't afford it. But he gave me the impression he could be given a chance. Ginger spice could GTFO and only improve the movie. The role's probably written bad. Casting didn't help matters though. May as well have changed the script to be about single Dad's clumsy paternalistic love for his son. There are sections that break the suspension of disbelief too much even for a comedy when the characters start mixing "foreign lingo" (sheeeeit fam) with "gamer talk" "they levelled up" etc. I think the kids are supposed to find forrin speak colloquial and gutteral and therefore relatable, but it twinges my English heart a bit whenever there's a butchering of the language like that. Those are insignificant & small moments that must be suffered through. I suppose I better wrap it up since no one wants to read an essay on Gran Turismo The Movie. Go in knowing what you're going to get. Go in with a small number of genuine friends who also know what they too are getting. Then you will ironically or otherwise enjoy the experience, if not (in each of your opinions) the movie proper. I'm glad I went out of respect for brand loyalty instead of buying Autosport/7 ruined by a bunch of incompetent Nipponese sino-Jews no time for ruining the series fuck off

>Playstation and the AAA market has driven itself into a corner and is in actual danger of collapsing with one single video game flop. on top of that, it alienated the japanese market (as well as the developers) by focusing entirely on the western market >Microsoft is hanging in there and is doubling down on becoming a massive publisher for video games on every platform, while still keeping close to the Xbox brand. we'll see how sustainable it'll be in the years to come >Nintendo is in the best position it's ever been, keeping development costs down while still bringing in massive profits from the revenue it's attained to continue pushing out games on a consistent basis. on top of that, their next console is right around the corner, furthering their market share if it hits big

It makes me sad that soytendo will likely reign supreme with an underpowered crappily made piece of junk like the soytch.
>>9889 As apposed the soyny's underpowered crappily made piece of junk or microshaft's underpowered crappily made piece of junk? Let the rats fight over who's the king of the trash heap.
>>9890 Because the death of consoles spells the further death of physical media anon.
>>9891 Unfortunately that's inevitable at this point. The convenience of just downloading a gayme or streaming movies and TV is just too enticingly easy to the niggercattle. No amount of '(((they))) can just censor your media whenever they want for any reason they want.' or 'they can just deny you access to the media you've paid for for any reason (((they))) want.' is going to get through to normalfags. I'm actually kind of surprised consoles still have disc drives and aren't download only. Best to just pirate everything and keep a redundancy or two. It'll be the closest thing to actually owning your media soon.
>>9892 I know, I was thinking about Spengler and Evola who I just finished listening to and how things are like organism and go round and round in cycles, and how you cannot always link the fire heckin dark souls reference!? and hold back the night or death of something. It is still sad to see it nonetheless. It is sad to see a unique form of entertainment, a sanctuary for good hearted men ruined.

Do you miss them? Or are they antiquated? On the one hand, they couldn't compete with the lightning fast and continuously updating information online, but on the other hand, I think they were more than just a printed slice of latest info and had an entire culture about them.

I am not crazy! I know he swapped those sarcophagi. I knew it was an antideluvian. Two generations after Caine. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got the Anarchs at the Last Round to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That werewolf! Are you telling me that a forest just happens to get set on fire like that and he is conveniently right there waiting for you? No! He orchestrated it! Jack! He had the coffin brought to LA! And I tolerated him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own domain! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was embraced, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the Jyhad! But not our Jack! Couldn’t be Smiling Jack! Anarching them blind! And HE gets to be called an elder? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop him! You-
