Wait, he isn't even mute going by the FMV. So forget even that.

>>15690690 (OP)

>SE didn't even bother to put subtitles in a game involving a deaf protagonist.

So did they expect you to understand sign language and lip-reading throughout the ENTIRE game? For fucks' sake. Even Final Fantasy X-2 had those scrolls you could read to understand the (((Al-Bhed))) language, and for the most part it wasn't that important to the story. And 40 GB for a game literally without sound (except maybe music) and Denuvo. How do you fuck up on this up so badly?

>>15690690 (OP)

Anything with Soyny involved will be shit. All the main 3 console companies are shit. All third parties that work with any of those 3 are shit.

>>15690720

Seems so, and every scene it implies he can lip read and hold conversations, yet I'm sure some will attempt to knee jerk defend it sight unseen. Also, the entire game is maybe around ~3 hours.

the no audio part is apparently the gimmick

>>15690742

Yeah I get that. But why the fuck aren't there subtitles for the person playing the game, especially if the protag can hold conversations and lip-read/read sign language? That's the part I don't get.

>>15690773

Yeah this whole lack of sound choice is complete shit. The lip reading for subtitles especially is necessary because the audience can't read lips and real life lip reading is only 50/50 accurate. For sound not everyone who is deaf has total deafness some of them simply need an alternative method to stimulate the nerve so physical vibrations can still cause muted sounds or they need a hearing aid to filter to frequencies they can hear.

Like that sound when you place your ears against your hands or surfaces could be the ambiance. Or alternatively everything sounds like it's filtered through a synth which is what a hearing aid sounds like.

>>15690787

'>It's more like the audience is supposed to be deaf, or your speakers main channel speakers are broken.

That's fucking retarded. Whoever thought they should do that in an AUDIO-visual medium ought to be fucking fired.

>>15690795

Think of last E3 as Sony tickling a few udders at once waiting for release to see which ones lactate the most. They're a full on capeshit company now and probably have Disney's fist a good elbow deep up their asses by now.

>>15690807

>real life lip reading is only 50/50 accurate

Now that's something interesting they could have done something with, make it like some visual puzzle with only partial subtitles where you play some sort of Hangman clone. Would have been better than the walk-this-way-punch-this-way thing they called the game part.

>All silent because the main character is deaf

>No subtitles because the main character is deaf

>You're encouraged to interpret the story yourself

Could be a decent concept if not for

<Sign language isn't subtitled, aka the thing the main character (and by extension, you) can understand

<Uses the idea that he can read lips as a reveal, but again, still no damn subtitles

<Several minute long cutscenes of people saying shit you can't hear, interspersed with tiny gameplay sequences that are over before they begin

<Game doesn't use its main concept for anything but a surface value gimmick

>This is the second beat-em-up Square Enix has in their library

>Both of them are about a bouncer at a nightclub getting tied up in a greater conspiracy

>Both of them are 90% cutscene and 10% actual beating em up

>Both of them "encourage" replay to learn the full story, one by having multiple story branches based on which characters you play as, this one by leaving everything super fucking vague

would have been better if they offered you an a sort of minigame while the person is talking so you can lip read and select a list of words that combine and make sense, based on your accuracy you could be completely wrong or right.

Right from the get go this looked like a game that should have never left the idea phase

>>15690742

Hey I'm from the adgd thread, how would you guys feel about this cool idea I had for a game where the gimmick it has is no gameplay?

Contact me any time Sony.

>>15701513

Isn't that just every western indie game?

i feel like this is going to be MGS2 all over again

10 yearx from now someone is going to say "this was bad by design" and everyone is going to act like they liked it.

>>15701550

It didn't take 10 years for people to like MGS2.

MGS2 really pisses off kikes. As you can see >>15701550 here. It's amazing how the little yid still tries to fit in after time and time again.

>>15701189

The deaf audience got the story they wanted told, which was if they became the crow after hours of repetitive gameplay with no explanation to a story that is clearly different from the dropped movie source material they're using.

>>15690838

The studio's major developers left by 2014, the only ones left are the people who stayed for the IPs like Rune.

>>15690795

You can see why on any video uploaded for it. It’s a buggy, half finished mess I’m amazed they even allowed to be released. The final part of the game is honestly one of the worst looking things I have ever seen come out of vidya.

>>15690795

White male protagonist, not much disability advocacy, no SJW flavor of the month social issues and politics, and it's by a Japanese guy even if the studio is by Americans, and all Western Bloggers hate Japanese games.

>SE

>can't be square enix, op is probably a retard refering to an obscure sh

>>it's square enix

What in the goddamn…?

>ugly 56% woman with germanic manjaw

>press x to dodge bullet

>shitty lens flare and bloom to hide the fact we don't even have textures or any artistic vision

>press square to beat up niggers

>here's a cutscene for your troubles

What's next ? Tinitus simulator ? That's the only thing I know that's more annoying I wish it would stop, please tell me there'll be a cure someday

Was this supposed to be representation for deaf people? Did deaf lobbyists get the game greenlit?

I can't remember the last time i saw a game so clearly sent out to die. Even Lawbreakers seemed like it had a brighter future.

>look it up

>deaf consultant turned out to be faking and not deaf

>game is buggier than ass erect andromeda

>cant even get the little shit right, every use flag in the game has 96 stars and some people have no eyes in their model.

What an amazing mess.

>>15701785

>parkouring OVER some random dude

What the hell where these people smoking?

>>15702383

There's something called FX-322 that regenerates hair cells in your hear and fixes hearing loss that causes tinnitus, last time I've checked they said phase 2 was going to start or end in December this year, I forgot.

>>15702763

you don't measure file size in bits

They released a free update today that adds a new game plus option where you can actually hear what people are saying and read subtitles.

Or you could just watch the trailer, because that spoils the big twist already.

>>15705050

Could you just give me the big twist, I wanted to watch a playthrough but I cringed after 2 minutes.

>>15705104

The girl hired a guy to kidnap her because she was sad with her life and she wanted to make a fresh start.

Maybe there's another twist on top of that, but I can't be bothered to find out either.

>>15705050

Funny thing is that this update basically ruins the one interesting gimmick about the game.

>>15705851

is it just me or does it seem like some asian women just have powerful legs?

>>15706097

i'd be nice if her butt was rounder.

>>15706097

bud wyy? what is it about them and their strong legs?

>>15706097

Aren't those men?

>>15690838

t. Arkane/Bethesda shill

>>15706047

>Obviously it was a game that knew when to be a game and when to be a movie

I'd argue it didn't know how often to be a movie versus being a game. Because those cutscenes go on for ages with you not understanding a damn thing.

AAA GAMES ARE FUCKING RELEASED WITHOUT AUDIO THATS LATER PATCHED IN

WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING

>>15706240

No, it was a creepy shot some anon who lives in japan took, I was in the thread he posted. They are regular girls.

>>15707310

They thought it would be a neat narrative gimmick. It's not exactly difficult to figure out.

>>15690838

why is spacejin so fucking god-tier

>forget to record audio

WHAT

>>15707511

He's tempered by his unnerving need to ruin otherwise good pornography by adding his retarded ballbusting fetish.

It's such a shame because his style makes my dick diamonds otherwise.

>>15707524

they didn't, they released it without audio because it is "the intended narrative"

On a similar note, i ve seen extreme nutsack lickers use the words "personal narrative" to excuse defending practices that just fucks them in the ass, for example, an update for a game that instead of adding anything interesting, just over complicates and slows what already exists they say "it helps my personal narrative"

>>15707313

The narrow hips and splayed feet honestly make it look like a man.

>>15707541

>Spacejin primarily draws ballbusting meme

He has 44 pages on Danbooru. If you filter for testicles, that leaves only 3 pages. Of that three pages a lot of is implied crushing or just has testicles in the shot.

DO NOT BULLY SPACE JIN

>>15707560

I never said primarily, merely that some of his art would be good if not for it.

>>15707292

That’s why I was saying the delivery of everything was so terrible. Hell, even though I think the idea of the deaf scenes with ambient noise was a good one, they still delivered them wrong and put to much emphasis on the drama you couldn’t hear rather than the physical acting or attention to detail in the actions of the actors or the sets. You know, I’d go as far to say that the game has a lot of great ideas, but they couldn’t figure out how to put them all together for a cohesive game. For instance, one cool aspect of the combat is that you can’t hear anything other than the enemies impacts and even then you can barely hear those. In moments where the game almost comes together you start to get a feel for what the main character feels. The attacks feel powerless without much of the noise behind them so when the mc easily counters them there’s sort of a natural feeling there. He just doesn’t register the brutality of their attacks and neither do you so combat almost looks and feels rythmetic… BUT the combat is so clunky and half baked that you can only appreciate this effect for a moment before you’re back to awkward animations, weird hitboxes, and uncomfortable feeling “combos”.

>>15690742

Gimmicks aren't always good. Remember the Wii? Or Kinect?

>>15706185

Asians walk.

Americans drive.

>>15705324

>the girl was a fucking thot cunt who hired someone to kidnap her and cause this bullshit instead of having a chat with deaf faggot

Shocking, I bet it shows her in a positive light too.

>>15701025

the whole "interpret story" idea doesn't make any sense though as the story is clearly defined you just can't understand it. if i came in while you were watching goodfellas and muted the audio and then said interpret the story it wouldn't make the film any better or give you anymore enjoyment.

>>15708158

The Wii gimmick worked pretty well. Everyone trying to copy it was what went poorly.

>>15708158

The wii is good.
