We already know anime has had a big influence on pop culture in the last decade. For example, once i had a training job at school and was assigned with some art students...when asked to draw a realistic person or animal most of the students would end up drawing in the same anime inspired way.
It was like it was in their genes to do so even though the art teachers had never taught a lesson about anime (and I know, because i asked the teachers). I don’t think they (students) knew much about anime to begin with. The recollection of that event has led me to analyse the influence anime has had on the creation and appreciation of video games.
Its not just video games there were influenced by anime. Many Hollywood films have completely ripped their stories straight from anime's like: (1)The Matrix ripped of Ghost in the shell scene by scene (2)Lion King ripped of Kimba the white Lion (3)Inception ripped of Paprika and Black Swan ...and the list goes on. The truth is: Hollywood rips everything, not just anime.
In the video, Miyamoto admits he was inspired by anime and manga when making his video games. Its not just the games Miyamoto made like Zelda, Mario, Pokemon e.t.c that were inspired by anime, its all sorts of games
The mecha genre of anime and manga has proved an enormous influence on videogames, from Virtual-On to Metal Gear Solid. Metal gear Solid was inspired by Snatcher (an anime game), and Kojima also put in a well known anime freak into the MGS series called Otacon who mentions all the robots he made were inspired by anime.
Most JRPG games are influenced by anime, we can see that in the character design and stories of games like Persona 4, Tales of Vesperia, and FF series. What else has anime given video games? Generally, the anime influence with character emotions and expressions is a good element for games since it gives characters more personality. However...Some people say anime has also given us characters with: (1)no facial hair (2)barely any muscle (3)and borderline metrosexual. Am sorry for the people who have those views, but i dont want link looking like this (I think most people wouldn't)
Neither would I want Dante from Devil May cry looking like this:
I just feel anime doesn't get the praise it deserves. This is the purpose of this blog. Anime and video games work in tandem, people should know this. LONG LIVE ANIME !!!
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...
Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?
The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.
A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
If we didnt have anime/manga, Link & Dante would probably look like the guys in the pictures above.
If we didnt have anime/manga, FF7's story would be completely different
If we did have anime, there may not even been robots like Metal Gear Rex in the MGS series.
....most of the pokemon wouldn't exist
....Hollywood wouldnt have Ghost in the shell to ripp of when making the matrix
watch this is you don't believe me : http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Hell Matrix probably wouldn't exist.
No hentai, Comicon would be dead by now, No studio Ghibli movies, some of Miyamoto games might not exist...and the list goes on
SO LONG LIVE ANIME & MANGA !!!
I actually agree for once. Anime inspired games are usually very good. I like the art style for the most part. Chrono Trigger was very pleasing visually and I think the guy who did Chrono Trigger did Dragonball right? You were spot on when you touched on how characters in JRPGs are like anime characters. They have strong emotions and personalities. JRPGs and animes are usually far fetched and thats why I like them. Anime does deserve more credit for helping shape the best genre of video games.
The influence needs to go deeper. Tentacles deep.
You also forgot to mention the western influence on anime.
Early anime artists were inspired by the western comic industry without a doubt, and lots of western sci-fi and action movies from 70's and 80's are often referenced in anime.
