SMH "Its creator has called it ''one of the great untold stories of the twentieth century'' but the forthcoming Australian-made computer game Whore of The Orient has been slammed by a prominent member of the Australian-Chinese community as an ''attempt to disgrace Chinese culture, history and traditions''."
This week the crew got together to talk about the new Ghostbusters game in relation to the release of the film reboot and they might have had opinions you wouldn’t expect! They also introduced a new segment (that might be weekly… maybe) called Hideo Kojima Quote of the Show, or HKQOTS for short!
After the incredible success of Team Bondi’s L.A. Noire, the gaming world waited eagerly for its follow-up Whore of the Orient, but sadly it will never come.
I knew the game was in developmental hell, but didn't realise the whole thing had been given up on and everyone had moved on. Loved L.A. Noire, and this sounds like it would have been even better,
This is some disappointing news. I loved LA Noire and was looking forward to this. I just those involved are able to get jobs again. :(
That is disappointing. I love L.A. Noire, so I am hoping that Team Bondi will make another game similar to it.
EDIT: My mistake, the developer is KMM.
Overmental: We're right smack dab in between E3's at the moment, which leaves a lot of big 2015 games announced, but without confirmed release dates.
Battlefront 3 will most likely launch at the same day Star Wars 7 is launching. And so will Ratchet and Clank.
Quantum Break is a game that might get delayed. I mean Alan Wake was announced in 2005 and was released in 2010. So that's five years. Hopefully that doesn't happen here.
AC Victory and COD will definitely be released this year.
Final Fantasy XV? Persona 5? Kingdom Hearts 3? where are those games on the list?
Did the guy who made this list shake one of those magic 8-balls for the chance of every game slipping into 2016?
I use to have a friend who would get fighting mad whenever someone would call him or refer other Asians as oriental. For the longest time when I was younger I never even knew that that was a wrong and offensive term.
Honestly I only discovered that Oriental was an offensive term last year. Personally I dont think this "outrage" is entirely justified.
Isnt the comparison between "Oriental" and the "N-word" a bit off? Isnt Oriental partially a regional thing whereas the other is purely race? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong because this is a genuine question :)
People looking for things to complain and whine about. The title said Orient, as in the Orient Express, referring to the east. It didn't say "The Whore Oriental", as in calling someone oriental. This is like the difference between calling someone African and well, you know. As for the Chinese community take a hike. We'd all be shocked to hear what they refer to everyone else as.
"That was a very bad time in China, and people don't want or need to have that dragged up."
Really???
Every WWII game:
That was a very bad time in Germany, and people don't want or need to have that dragged up.
Never heard that one xD
Since when is "Orient" offensive or racist?

I think he is overreacting. Just remember the countless usage of the N-Word in Bioshock Infinite.
These articles are pointless and just cause arguments that are not solvable on a forum. Move on, nothing to see here.
