Feel free to shitpost however I am going to keep the thread limit to 32 to keep things manageable without having to bring on vols, at least for now. Also, post banners I guess, but I doubt anyone else will use this board, so it will just be my personal public log of vidya activity. A /v/log, if you will :^).

PRODUCER OF SILENT, MOTOI OKAMOTO ADMITS THAT THE LATEST SILENT HILL HAS FEMINIST INSPIRATION! >Hinako Shimizu's arc in Silent Hill f is shaped by the Japanese women's rights movement of the 1960s and depicts 'how she musters the courage to combat' repression she encounters https://archive.is/4cCiY <"The game follows the torments and turmoils of Hinako [Shimizu], who is a repressed young woman," Motoi Okamoto, series producer of Silent Hill, tells me at Gamescom. "Hinako is an individual who's gone through a lot of repression, so there are a lot of things that are applying pressure to her. This is the source of many of her internal conflicts. The focus that we place on the story, and for Hinako, is how she musters the courage to combat that repression." <It's established straight away that Hinako doesn't want to conform to what society views as her role as the subservient wife or daughter. Unlike her older sister, it doesn't seem like she has much interest in marrying, and she has no love left for her abusive father, who seems to either ignore or yell at her depending on his mood. <Hinako's trauma-loaded backstory is largely in line with your average Silent Hill protagonist. Without a massive deposit of unresolved trauma or issues, the game would be too short and there'd be no iconic monsters to hide from. <But Silent Hill f does switch Hinako's story up a bit by turning back the clock. "The reason why we arrived at the 1960s is because this is an era that represents female repression in Japanese society," Okamoto says. "The 1960s were a time when this type of repression was prevalent, but it is also one of the hallmark eras in Japanese history for women's rights movements." <What makes her story all the more interesting isn't simply what Hinako has experienced in her life up until this moment, but her fears of what is to come, and her uncertain place in a world that is undergoing some huge societal changes.

This is NOT a thread for gacha-shit! If you want to discuss that type of content, make your own thread or take it to >>>/gacha/ The purpose of this thread is to talk about games playable on phones. There's really no restrictions on what can be discussed (Aside from already mentioned). The primary reason I made this thread was just see what "good" games actually exist on since no one really talks about it. Thus far, the games I can provide as reqs goes as far as: Providing links to Qoo-App because I used them to bypass the region-locking of the Goolag Play Store. They still provide links to the Play Store and the iOS App Store if you want to see the "proper" page. Also you should still be able to find "some" games through other third-party sites. >⑨Bullet Screen https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/14051 It's literally a 2hu fan game. >Card Thief https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/14387 It's a stealth-based card game where you attempt to sneak past guards and collect loot >Chimera Recollect https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/13280 Apparently it's a sort of "click to death" game where you play as a customizable monster that protects a child >City Connection Classic https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/17052 It's the classic arcade game City Connection with some new graphics elements. Mind the ads. You can avoid them by switching to "Airplane Mode".

>>794 >My circumstance is that the phone that I use for playing vidya is an old LG still running Android 6.0. As long as you don't update you should be fine, but APK Updater and Qoo-App might stop working if Google completely locks everything down. I think this also kicks down others that maintain alternate app stores like samsung, amazon and epic (I think), so there's definitely incentive from other companies to prevent that from happening. I think phone companies might just start shipping modified versions of android with their own app stores, in fact. Piracy is a very big factor in second and third world countries so I hope this wouldn't fly there as well. If this remains a "hey, this isn't certified by us, the jewish oligarchs google so you reaaaly reaaaly shouldnt install this app ok??? pls click ok to proceed" then I suppose it will be fine, but if it's the other thing then there won't be any other way around it except for installing a custom rom. Fuck Google.
>>796 >I think this also kicks down others that maintain alternate app stores like samsung, amazon and epic (I think) The Amazon app store for Android was shut down several months ago. >I think phone companies might just start shipping modified versions of android with their own app stores In some ways, that's actually an improvement, because it at least creates "some" competition for smartphone OSes. So thanks, Goolag. >Piracy is a very big factor in second and third world countries so I hope this wouldn't fly there as well. I don't see why those terrtiroties matter when they effectively have their own state-provided smartphone OSes and app stores. It's only in developed countries that "everyone" uses Google Play by default. >but if it's the other thing then there won't be any other way around it except for installing a custom rom That's sort of what I was thinking it would be, that Android is attempting to become as "locked down" as iOS. However I was curious how this would effect those of us on older versions. Like would this verification be implemented on both ends, that while you can no longer install apps unless they've been Goolag "verified", that it would also prevent you from installing apps unless you have a phone WITH the verification software needed to verify that an app is verified. Because I'm not willing to dismiss how stupid they'll make this shit.
>>797 >I don't see why those terrtiroties matter when they effectively have their own state-provided smartphone OSes and app stores. From what I know a majority of them (maybe excluding china) just run some version of Android with the standard google integrations, and pirating APKs for paid/pro version apps is just an everyday thing for those who know their way around their phone a bit (and everyone else is retarded). >a phone WITH the verification software needed to verify that an app is verified. That would probably require them to encrypt the APKs end-to-end, so they might also try to make reverse engineering impossible by doing that.

>>770 >>771 Isn't that a catch-22? If they announce the game's price at $100, is that going to be because Take2 thinks that can get away with that, or is it because we were EXPECTING it to be that price? Prior to the leak back in March, it seemed like everyone thought it would be your standard $70 game and Take2 believed that GTA6 originally was going to be $70. And the only reason for the "leak" was just to "test the waters" and prove that people wouldn't pay above that $70, but the fact that everyone seems so "accepting" of the idea that the GTA6 is going to be $100 says more about the tolerance the public has rather than any amount greed on the part of the game publishers. I mean, if they're discovering that a higher percentage of people would accept a $100 game than they initially theorized, why wouldn't they take advantage and follow through on increasing the price?
>>772 >Isn't that a catch-22 I don't think you're using that term right at all. It's more of a self-fulfilling prophecy, but even that isn't quite accurate.
>Games were expected to become more expensive with each console generation, according to the former head of PlayStation Studios https://archive.ph/G40gp <For the past 20 years, AAA game prices have stayed roughly at the same level, despite a significant increase in development costs, stated former PlayStation Studios head Shawn Layden in an interview with GamesIndustry. He believes that this has been a mistake for the gaming industry. <“I think it’s because everyone’s afraid. No one wants to be the first one to raise the price, because you’re afraid to lose traffic. So what you do is you just end up eating into your operating income, your profit margin,” said Layden. <In his view, the industry has now reached a critical point. Creating AAA games has become excessively expensive, and recouping the costs is now extremely difficult. For example, a game with a $200 million budget would ideally need to sell 25 million copies, but only a few can achieve this. Layden is confident: “Unless you’re Rockstar, [you] should not expect it.” <Layden believes that developers should have begun raising game prices long ago, doing so with each console generation. And announced at around the same time: https://archive.ph/mfOv0 >Sony announces price hikes on PlayStation 5 in US <Starting Aug. 21, the price of all PS5 consoles will go up by $50, an increase that Sony Interactive Entertainment VP of global marketing Isabelle Tomatis attributes to "a challenging economic environment." Keep in mind that the tariffs STILL haven't gone into effect. Meanwhile, back home in Japan: https://archive.ph/WWavn >Spike Chunsoft is in no rush to expand its overseas publishing. Long-term connections and a strong Japanese market are priorities, says executive <Instead of aggressively pursuing publishing deals, Iizuka says that Spike Chunsoft’s goal is to create connections with developers that can actually benefit from partnering with them. “Our goal as a publisher is to work with companies who view us as a business partner that can actually help them boost sales.” To this end, Iizuka openly turns away deals that won’t benefit developers. “I’ll say things like, Our company isnot good with this genre, so even if we work together, it won’t sell, or, If you sell 200,000 copies of this $5 title, here’s how much each of us would make. If your sales would be 200,000 copies with or without us, wouldn’t you be better off without us?” <Rather than short-term gains, Spike Chunsoft’s goal is to foster long-term connections within the industry. “We don’t want to exploit anyone. If one of our past business partners ends up making an even greater hit, and that leads to us getting another work opportunity with them – we’d only consider that a bonus. That’s our stance on the matter.” <... <“While we are actively working on our overseas expansion, the Japanese market is still the most important to us. Japanese games can only be made in Japan. Also, if the Japanese game industry wasn’t this strong, we wouldn’t have been able to enter the Steam market as steadily as we did, and our overseas businesses wouldn’t be going so smoothly.” <Iizuka also brings up how maintaining a strong Japanese game market is important for Western games too – if the Japanese market is stable, this creates more opportunities for overseas games to thrive in it. “I believe the strength of the Japanese market will also be of benefit to Western games. The costs that go into developing those games are huge, so we want to maintain a strong market in Japan in which such titles will also be able to succeed,” Iizuka said.

And we have our smoking gun: >Nintendo Rolls Out New eShop Publishing Guidelines for Switch 2 in Asia, Seemingly to Curb Spam Games https://archive.ph/1feBU <Many of the new guidelines discuss “sensitive content,” and include specific rules for what qualifies as sensitive content in the first place. Listed criteria that “would be considered damaging to the Nintendo brand” include sexualization of children, overly sexual content, discrimination and hate, exploitation of social issues (“Content that clearly exploits a topical and controversial social issue, tragedy, or catastrophic event”), instructing criminal activity, and political statements (“Content that overtly supports or criticizes real-life countries, organizations, or ideologies”). Nintendo states in the guidelines that it reserves the right not to distribute a game, but claims it offers the guidelines to help developers understand its reasoning in certain situations. “We encourage you to take this information into consideration when developing content for potential release on our platforms and before submitting such content to Nintendo,” the guidelines state. It also disclaims that the guidelines are not an exhaustive list, and that sometimes “determinations may be made on a regional basis.”

Very simple question: What do people actually want out of film and TV adaptations of video games? This concept has been tossed around for the past going on almost 40 years, and it seems like no one can really answer what makes something a "good adaptation". The "closest" I've seen is Anons parading around Postal as being the "best" film adaptation of a game ever made, but that movie was terrible. Mortal Kombat is another "good" one, but it changes significant aspects of the game's plot. Some of the one's I've liked, there was Angelina's Tomb Raider, Anderson's RE series, Prince of Persia, Double Dragon, Need for Speed, and The King Of Fighters. What are other Anon's takes on the "good" adaptations that have come out? Or what makes a "good" adaptation?

I want them to not exist, personally, as there's no such thing as a good live adaption, especially not of something as usually fantastic as video games. Maybe make an animated adaption and don't fill it with arbitrary popular voice actors and it won't make me vomit in disgust. I think normalfags just want catchphrases and good graphics, though.
>>622 >Vid Decided to look up people's reactions, and it seems like the only people even doing stupid shit like this are the literal and unironic oversized and above-age children trying to make themselves look cool on Titkok.
>but it changes significant aspects of the game's plot This is always going to happen, you can't fit a good plot into an hour and a half movie. That being said it was still about a tournament to protect earth from outworld, it was high energy and used relatively unknown actors for the roles (which video game movies should ALWAYS do). Mortal Kombat (the first one) will always be the best because the 'plot' of the game (and the characters) is so simplistic making it almost impossible to fuck up. You go in expecting cool fights and fun one liners and that's exactly what you get. Anything more complicated than 'earthlings fight warriors from other realms to keep earth from falling under their control' will ALWAYS get fucked up. Sure we might get the occasional fun movie like Resident Evil: Apocalypse that gave us Jill and S.T.A.R.S but generally if you like that movie (I do) it's because you didn't really care for RE games and don't care about the non-game add in stuff like Alice.

Nekopara publisher sucks off Steam while they rape his game in approval Anonymous 06/01/2025 (Sun) 01:02:29 Id: dc6f15 No. 629 [Reply]
https://xcancel.com/sekaipro_chris/status/1928315598150254772#m SekaiProject, publishers of the Nekopara series as well as several other visual novels, have run into issues with getting the latest Nekopara approved for Steam. Despite this and despite the mountains of evidence attesting to Valve's anti-anime and anti-Japan bias, they insist that nothing is wrong and that Valve TOTALLY doesn't hate them. They're even going as far as to justify the bans against other games. This is hardly the right attitude to take when your game is getting raped in approval and likely will be banned altogether. Why are these fucking publishers so averse to calling out this obvious censorship campaign against Japanese media? Why do they ALWAYS fucking cuck like this? This retard would watch from a corner while Gaben raped his wife. Again, there is MOUNTAINS of evidence, both H-games and PG games, attesting to Valve's anti-anime anti-Japanese bias and this moron does himself and his whole audience a disservice by attempting to cover for it. Bonus; he's justifying the bans on the basis of "loli is CP even if PG, therefore Valve is TOTALLY justified to ban Japanese otaku games", as he's publishing fucking Nekopara of all things that will likely be banned for the same reasons. I don't care what your stance is, don't fucking cuck to your abuser like this. Not just for you, but your whole audience that Valve thinks are a crowd of sex offenders for enjoying cute and ero anime girls. You disrespect not only yourself, but everyone who supports you. Posted this on 4Cuck /v/, thread got autosaged. Not going to try posting it on Mark /v/.

Yes, he's showing his total lack of respect for the source material, its culture, and its audience with this, and that's the problem. Why even deal in this material if you hate it so much? Why lie to your audience that Valve isn't biased against Japanese VNs and anime games when most of them know better? Some retard is probably going to call him a pedo anyway just because he's localizing Nekopara, so this performative hand-wringing will likely be pointless in the end anyway.

GOG censoring Japanese games, will not allow Tokyo Clanpool uncensored Anonymous 04/21/2025 (Mon) 01:26:46 Id: d25873 No. 499 [Reply]
GOG, a PC storefront that offers games DRM-free, has in recent years been one of the first stops for games unfortunate enough to be banned from Steam over its raging bias against Japanese anime bishoujo games. However, they now seem to be following Steam in unfairly discriminating against anime games. Tokyo Clanpool, a Vita game by Compile Heart that was recently picked up by Eastasiasoft for an English release on Switch and PC, has so far faced censorship on every platform it has tried to release on. First getting banned from Steam, then being censored and having its release restricted by Nintendo on Switch. Initially, Eastasiasoft tried to submit a censored version of the game to Steam, likely with the intention of releasing an off-site patch. However, since Steam banned the game anyway, they then submitted the censored version to GOG, initially merely out of paranoia since they had already been banned from Steam. They then eventually went back and tried to patch the game's content back in. Unfortunately, their initial paranoia proved well-founded as GOG refused to host the game's uncensored content. The content in question is a mildly erotic minigame called "Ether Induction", which involves using the controls or touch screen to rub the girls to gain stat bonuses in the main dungeon crawling gameplay. This type of minigame was typical of Compile Heart releases of the time. Steam, Nintendo and GOG all have other games featuring similar content that did not have to be censored. GOG in particular has full H-games with explicit loli content either uncensored or with on-site patches. Yet suddenly they will not allow this Vita game that was likely sold in general stores in Japan to have its content uncensored. It's seemingly indicative of a shift in policy towards Steam-level bias against Japanese games. For games like Tokyo Clanpool, options for release are becoming increasingly narrow as all four mainstream gaming platforms now block or censor them and even smaller PC storefronts like GOG are now joining the anti-anime, anti-ecchi bandwagon. Companies that used to specialize in such content like Compile Heart are now preemptively neutering their content in response, to the ire of long-time fans who are increasingly rejecting the sanitized content, manifesting in declining sales across the board. Eastasiasoft too, once one of the few remaining publishers proudly flying the flag of ecchi fanservice, are now throwing in the towel and declaring they will no longer publish games like Tokyo Clanpool. Their most recently-announced significant release is an otome game, indicating the direction they are likely to take, leaving the fans of Japanese ecchi games they once catered to hanging and reeling. All this while gacha games like Snowbreak and Brown Dust 2 taunt fans of old otaku bishoujo games by offering similar content on mobile, provided you are willing to sell your soul to the GaaS mobage model, of course, like a twisted siren song calling the once-loyal subculture of games like Senran Kagura, Gal*Gun and Neptunia to a soulless, predatory model of content that encapsulates almost all the worst trends of gaming in recent years. Yet another thing you can't talk about on Mark's /v/. Not even in the GamerGate thread.
I see. How the nigger finds the time to target shit like this when the entire board is a dumpsterfire of cuckchan posting is beyond me. In fact, ignoring the actual problems to micromanage things you don't like is exactly what the halfchan mods did that made their site so shit.

We are on the /nep/ board on trashchan now. It's the Neptunia board from old 8Chan that was rescued by another altchan site before 8Chan went down. Due to Mark's spergery, and because of how fast it is moving now, I discourage using this site's /v/ board for discussion of Neptunia and Compile Heart-related topics. https://trashchan.xyz/nep/index.html https://trashchan.xyz/nep/thread/7517.html
