Support NeoGAF

[xanaum]

The devs at TeamKill Media announced on X that their next game, Code Violet, which they call a "spiritual successor" to Dino Crisis, won’t be coming to PC because they want to prevent vulgar mods for the characters and protec their artistic vision.



Honestly, this is the first time I’ve seen this as a reason not to release a game on PC

 

[chakadave]

I’m all for stopping degenerate behavior in real life but this is stupid.

 

[Gaiff]

This might just be the stupidest tweet I read.

What are they gonna do against R34 fan art?

Also, they made this game.

Oh, no! What are we gonna do without this game?

 

[amigastar]

They can go fuck themselves.
Thats just a fake reason they are clearly console warriors.

 

[Generic]

Ironic because the character already have a huge ass.

 

[LordCBH]

That’s….an incredibly retarded reason lmao

 

[Gaiff]

Oh, those guys are the ones who made Quantum Error. Ain’t nobody asked for a PC version of this upcoming trash lmao. They do this shit to drum up controversy and generate publicity. Didn’t they also claim Quantum Error couldn’t run on PC or Xbox or some stupid shit like that?

 

[Hugare]

Good luck with that

* Change "Life" with "Porn"

Thing is, I doubt anyone would bother. Seems like a decent AA game that could get 5k copies sold.

 

[kiphalfton]

Ironic because the character already have a huge ass.

Ass is on point.

I think if that stays the same, and bump her boob size up, it's a fair compromise.

 

[{insert code here}]

How can they claim being a spiritual successor to Dino Crisis? They're a 4-man indie studio based in the US and unless any of them worked for Capcom 25 years ago then that's just a weird thing to say imo.

 

[nial]

Based.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Is it April 1st already? Seriously?

 

[Yerd]

Trailer says "footage captured on pc."

That trailer was full of scifi movie ripoff scenes. Looks like garbage anyway.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Gay af

 

[RoboFu]

I never understood how someone can call something a spiritual successor with anyone from the original team or even company that made the original?

It's just a game influenced by another (usually better) same. That's all.

 

[Aenima]

The funny thing is that in the trailer in the OP says at the end "Footage captured on PC"

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

- captured on PC
- not available on PC

Are devs retarded?

Im going to goon to this right now anyway.

I think it’s ok as if you are taking inspiration from those games

I think it’s worse to make sequels for well known successful series and no one from the original development team is there and they still claim it’s the same dev

 

[Gaiff]

Are devs retarded?

 

[Fake]

lmao. Imagine being that soft.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Ahh, we've reached peak retardation. I wasn't sure I would recognize it when the time came.

 

[ssringo]

Well damn, guess I'll have $__ to spend on someone else's games.

Like, just say it's exclusive and accept whatever heat comes from that. Now you just sound incredibly stupid.

 

[Ozriel]

these guys do this shit deliberate as a way to stoke some PR. They did the same thing for Quantum Error.

Marketing strategy. They’ll be saying some stuff about ‘woke’ soon enough.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Make them suffer

 

[Gp1]

5 days max until someone takes this generic piece of crap and adds some spiciness into it in one of "those" sites.

ps. that's if the game becomes any kind of success. if not, no one will even remember this 5 days after launch.

 

[willothedog]

This might just be the stupidest tweet I read.

Oh, no! What are we gonna do without this game?

Why are you shilling for this dev, pumping up its previous 'games' metascore

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Are these guys literally retarded?

 

[64gigabyteram]

its a dumb reason but just know that vanillaware has the exact same reason for preventing PC releases of their stuff and nobody's on their ass for it

 

[LordCBH]

Oh, those guys are the ones who made Quantum Error

Oh god. I can’t wait to see what a pathetic piece of shit this game turns out to be. Quantum Error was embarrassing levels of crap.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

That’s interesting and kind of unexpected. I figure developers would care more for the sales and the success of their game than how their fictional characters or protagonists are portrayed.

 

[Revolutionary]

I mean... that's essentially the reason why Vanillaware skips PC as well. At least these guys are forward about it.

 

[willothedog]

more likely scenario.

'if we dare release it on Steam people have rights and can refund it after they have downloaded and played it for under two hours, then we would be fucked'

Came here to comment on this too: Spiritual successor is supposed to mean that at least some of the original devs are trying to create a game similar to a previous game, for example, Bloodstained being a Spiritual successor of Castlevania because Iga, the director behind beloved Castlevania titles, no longer works with Konami and Konami had no interest in making more Castlevania’s and Iga did.

This “Code Violet” game crap looks like someone saw Dino Crisis in a magazine and decided to add dinosaurs to some crappy game they were already making. So if anything, is a game inspired by Dino Crisis and other RE-like games. Damn, the main character looks like a botched Cate Blanchett. This game could use a PC Port, then maybe some talented modded could fix her face.

 

[amigastar]

Maybe they are religious fanatics.

 

[GrayChild]

They know about R34 fanart, right? I'm 100% sure people will start making it for this game just to troll these idiots.

 

[poppabk]

Aren't these the guys who try to bait Playstation gamers into buying shit games by feeding console warrior bullshit?

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

I hope the raptors will all be running around in gym short to preserve their modesty

Overwatch said people weren't allowed to make porn of their characters, and that game sold great! I bet it will work for us too!

 

[VolticArchangel]

PC dataminers from the eventual console dump of the game:

Pretty much this. Didn't they already do that with FFVII remake before there was even a PC version?

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Oh, no! What are we gonna do without this game?

Game is also not coming to Switch 1/2 nor Xbox lol. It's a PS5 exclusive

 

[The Cockatrice]

Keep ur trash, thats ok.

 

[Radical_3d]

I mean... that's essentially the reason why Vanillaware skips PC as well. At least these guys are forward about it.

Really? Vanillaware? The king of taste games, uh?

These guys?​

Anyway I think the devs wanted a thread on GAF and they have it. So congrats for the rage bait.

 

[EDMIX]

Ironic because the character already have a huge ass.

This game looks like what we'll see when publishers start abusing Ai up the ass, we going to see like 15 of these games a month lol

 

[night13x]

"and another one..."

Also I had my purple neon light penis mod all ready for this game. oh well!!!

 

[El Muerto]

 

[Comandr]

Eh. Game looks like butt anyway. Characters are ugly and animations are rough. The modding community couldn’t do any worse here. But hey enjoy your next 40 on metacritic.

 

[bender]

Thank God

 

[Mattyp]

“artistic vision” the AI future can’t come quick enough we don’t need devs anymore.

 

[360fps]

They left on table, just like that? Nah, I believe the game is so trash that neither it would sell on Steam nor Epic will pay for exclusivity rights.

 

[CityHunter1981]

Oh man, at least think about a better excuse, if you don’t want to make a PC version. I heard many excuses from different devs over the years, but that must be one of the stupidest.
