Fuck off. Anime is garbage. I liked it when I was a teenager.
Druckmann must hate women the way he portrays a lot of them. It's like he wants his audience to realize how obnoxious they can be.
Definitely a great game. And some of Akira Yamaoka's best music as well. It's extremely dark and gritty. If they had a larger budget I think it would have been something out of this world. But with what they had I think they did a fantastic job. It's very unique and I loving every second of it. Just have the true final boss to fight then I'm done. I suspect it will eventually become a cult classic and only appreciated years from now. Wonder what Bokeh has in store for us next.Yeah and I loved it. It's a shame about the budget the game was give, it could've done with a little more to fully voice it, since they use a lot of text and audio loops in certain scenarios. But I felt like they still managed to use the budget well, and it's charming for what it is. It's the type of game we just don't get anymore since the PS2 era. A weird Japanese sci-fi horror with a really cool tone and aesthetics inspired by 90s Hong Kong films. Brilliant music and a main character design ripped out of Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express. I would recommend this game to everyone!
That's not harsh. You're right.Not to sound harsh but it does sound like no matter what Sony does they will not sell a lot of PS5s in that school :/.
They are probably talking about the japanese market here. Good luck trying to win against Nintendo there I guess.
It was often a thing in my friend group. Late teens/early twenties money would often be spent on bars/pubs/alcohol every weekend. If someone had a ps3 they wouldn't bother with a 360 and borrow one for a weekend or whatever.I've never heard or seen anyone lending out a console after the early 2000s, and I am living in Europe.
Of course not. It happened at the end of last year. Did you expect them to pump out anime\games in that amount of time? This stuff takes time. Going over the IPs, see which one to develop a game for, finding a team for said game, etc. It's not like Sony just has studios on stand by waiting to make a game.The deal with Kadokawa hasn't really shown much of anything.
They're trying to figure out how to rope in the younger audience. This isn't for the older generations. I'm 45 - I don't care about this.
What's been interesting for me as a parent is talking to my son about his peers. He's 13 and will be in 7th grade next year. He has his own PS5, TV and gaming PC (hand-down parts from my previous build) in his room. I buy games on sale and pay for a PS+ sub for him. He goes to a public school with a few hundred kids in his grade. Out of everyone he talks to, only one kid has a PS4 and that kid has almost not games for it. None of his classmates have a PS5. One day last year he asked me "Dad, are we rich?" We're not, but he asked because his friends tell him he's a rich kid for having a current gen console and a PC. Most of his friends are resigned to playing Roblox on an old iPad.
By contrast, a lot of kids his age have watched anime on Netflix. It's one of the things they can talk about and bond over. We wound up watching several series his friends recommended to him. I can see the logic in taking a Sony IP and turning it into an anime in the hopes some kids will enjoy it and want to check out the games down the road.

That speaks to a bigger problem. Consoles are now seen as not affordable to a lot of people and consoles can only do one thing: play videogames. Meanwhile you can be a student and have a shitty computer that runs games at the worst possible settings.They're trying to figure out how to rope in the younger audience.

The deal wasn't limited to gaming.
Sure but everything the deal included takes years to produce not 6 months.

Why?Not necessarily.
I would have expected to hear about some publication shifts at this point.
Based taste.

All these edgelords in this thread shitting on Anime.
Anime has and continues to produce some of the best entertainment of all time. Is there fan servicey and cringy shit, sure! The world of anime is as varied and diverse as any art form. But at least the Anime medium gives latitude to its creators to explore their creative visions fully. Western media is fully captured by activist lunatic wankers from the extreme end of one specific ideological leaning.... and like overwhelmingly so outside of gaming.
I'll take sexy anime waifus any days of the fucking week, over the fucking ugly meathead masculine gripper women BS that Netflix puts in their shows/movies.
Very true I love anime. When I was single though I did keep it hidden because the one time I let a female see it she automatically assumed I was into Hentai and I can't have people thinking that.
If only they had a Japanese studio internally. But who could have foreseen such a need?
They're talking about turning their franchises into anime, not about making anime games like WuWa or Genshin.
They have two: Polyphony and Team Asobi.
And actually, Polyphony made Omega Boost way back in the day for PS1. Awesome game, very anime-inspired.
I say let the bitch know you're into hentai. The fact that she knows about hentai is an indication she probably secretly enjoys it herself.
Sitting down to watch some good hentai with your significant other, before getting worked up enough to do the dirty yourselves is an experience every young man must have once.
And you never know, you might get lucky and find out she's secretly into cosplaying hentai characters while she does the dirty with you...Hnnnnnggg!!
Can't be that one as the uncle is a Sega fan.Uncle From Another World RPG when?
Come on Sony/Kadokawa.
Yeah, but all Polyphony does now is GaaS Gran Turismo that's less fun than the franchise was like 20 years ago, and Asobi is making babby's first Mario clone. I recognize the creativity, but there's not much in the way of solid platforming fundamentals there.
Omega Boost was sick, though.
