On Amazon stores across the globe, Assassin's Creed Shadows is rapidly climbing the best-sellers chart. It is currently the best-selling PS5 game on Amazon Japan, Amazon UK, and Amazon Germany. on Amazon France, it sits at #2, and on Amazon US, at #6.
Looking forward to hearing the full score as the artists involved sound amazing. Today, Ubisoft announced the composers involved in the making of Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ original soundtrack. Four exclusive tracks will be made available on Friday 14th.
Wccftech attended a behind-closed-doors session to get an extended look at Assassin's Creed Shadows beyond what was recently shown publicly.
"the music that builds up once Yasuke enters combat infuses the traditional Japanese shakuhachi and koto melodies with hip-hop beats" oh dear lord. DEI TRASH.
Wow sounds like something outta Samurai Champloo, but you know gotta pretend its an agenda instead just saying "Im racist"
so he's racist because it's dumb to put hiphop in a game in japan? i myself am from brooklyn nyc; im dark skin and even i find it dumb. just like when live action aladdin had hip hop instead of arab music.......maybe just not go for the whole cultural appropriation thing.....or is it only bad when white people do it?
It's more racist to me seeing hip hop being automatically associated with blackness, when it's more of an American thing and there are black people well outside America that have no cultural connection with hip hop. The more appropriate thing to do would be to incorporate whatever music, he as a real historical figure, would've most likely have a cultural connection to. So whatever music being performed in east Africa in the 1500s.
hip hop was created by black americans........it's factual.....LOL that's like saying western knights and armor being thought of with europeans is racist. like what
@lucian229
Idk if you lying, but in good faith Ill assume you arent.
Its the DEI comment, should be pretty apparent thats the racist part.
Kinda makes me question what you say since you gonna make it about "Hip Hop music in an asian setting." instead of the obvious dog whistle but hey, maybe as a dark skin brother, you are unaware of how DEI is a dog whistle for "black".
So SAMURAI CHAMPLOO is an JAPANESE ANIME set in EDO period. "The music of the 2004 anime series Samurai Champloo, created by the studio Manglobe, was produced by a team of four composers drawn from the hip hop musical scene. They were Shinji "Tsutchie" Tsuchida of Shakkazombie, Fat Jon, Nujabes and Force of Nature. The musical direction was chosen by series creator and director Shinichirō Watanabe as part of his planned blending of hip hop culture with the anime's setting in the Edo period, additionally incorporating contributions from guest artists."
Thats to the moron calling it DEI Trash, illustrating that Japanese themselves love hip hop so all of sudden when an french studio do it, its DEI, where Samurai Champloo is one of the classics.
@lucian229
Do you wanna have a conversation about cultural appropriation? Are you making the argument this is cultural appropriation?
Slow year this year, So this probably gonna be my GOTY, especially since they seem to be revamping the stealth in AC. Which is good. As much as I love the series, Ive always felt stealth has always been their weakest element, so its nice to see them fleshing it out mechanically. Yasuke looks pretty cool, but I think the new stealth stole the show.
The Nerd Stash: The dual protagonists of Assassins Creed shadows forego any conventions. Their unique backgrounds make for a fascinating look at feudal Japan.
I mean, samurai shamploo has a mostly hip hop soundtrack if I remember right. No opinion on the game itself, just saying there is a real world example of hip-hop samurai entertainment made by the Japanese.
Well has AC ever had non historically accurate music in its Animus sections?
And samurai Champloo doesn't give a greelight to use rap in every japanese setting game. If rap was playing when you encountered youske in Nioh 2 it would be cringe and the people calling it ok for AC shadows would call it racist in Nioh 2.
AC hasn't been historically accurate in years, and the last two have had magic stuff in them. Having modern influenced music in them hardly seems like a big deal at this point.
Interesting
Actual japanese gamers doesn´t seem to bother with all the controversy surrounding a black samurai as protagonist or history accuracy.
Shadows pre orders are pretty strong on US PS Store too.
Cry more haters 😂.
Japanese gamers are excited for the game. Turns out most of the hate is from people that aren't Japanese. Yasuke is in both Nioh games as well as Samurai Warriors 5. No one was outraged. There's also an Anime about him as well. He's popular there which is why he keeps popping up in entertainment media.
The best part of this fake outrage is he leaked last year as being one of two playable characters but because of his name most people probably assumed he was Japanese and not the historical figure Yasuke that hailed from Africa. 🤣
Funny considering the comments on all their Japan social media pages and the dislike ratios across all their Japan accounts on YouTube.
Clearly as a caucasian I'm not doing a good enough job of convincing them they should be outraged...
