Why There Are Barely Any 'Persona 5' Videos on YouTube

Japanese companies are infamously conservative about their games, even if that means punishing the very people who support them.

Nintendo.

The entire description sentence of this story is an synonym for Nintendo.

But in all seriousness, originally they wanted to do a worldwide release to avoid possible spoilers.

Except Nintendo let you upload. You just can monetize when it's a game from Nintendo In-House team. Outside studio is excluded except for Pokemon in some cases.

Nintendo doesn't prevent anyone from uploading nor do they give copyright strikes for uploading gameplay unless you were able to receive a review copy and break the guideline in stating you can do certain things the embargo lift.

Kreisen3194d ago

Wrong, they will take your video down regardless. Plenty learned that the hard way...

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3193d ago (Edited 3193d ago )

@Kreisen
Wrong. I've upload Several Splatoon videos they were claimed not taken down.
I even uploaded Mario Kart 8 and Donkey Kong Country they were only claimed because they are in-house or Miyamoto games.

Smash Bros. does not get claimed, neither did Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, or any other.

Yall don't upload Nintendo gameplay yet alone have a Wii U to upload them with a capture card.
Yall need to stop talking out your asses.

It's more Japanese companies in general while western and even eastern companies have embraced youtube lets plays and commentaries on games due to their own understanding of what falls within the excepted bound of transformative work for videos on their game Japanese companies are different.

In japan their understanding of copyright is different if any copyrighted material is used regardless of how little in any medium you have to pay the original owner first doesn't matter what or why you used their stuff,this kind of thing has probably informed most japanese game companies on how they approach youtube stuff.

Some take this to a disgusting level however like when Nintendo famously unveiled their YouTube creators program one of the most disgusting conflict of interests i have ever seen and it came from the big N they took that Japanese understanding of how copyright works to such an extreme degree that they have shacked up with youtubers who want to monetize their games on youtube it's one of the most disgusting things iv'e ever seen and the fact they have never once acknowledged how huge a conflict of interest something like that is truly speaks leagues to their arrogance.

Their are exceptions however I'm pretty sure marvelous games the guys who make senran kagura are cool with youtube videos along with a few other Japanese game companies like sega and capcom however in japan they are the exception to this conservative draconian approach of protecting their copyrights for their games by using youtubes one sided claim system to such a huge fault most probably don't realize they alienate alot of their fans outside of japan with such moves while the ones who do embrace fan stuff benefit from it.

Hoffmann3194d ago

Eh. Let's Play videos benefit almost comletely the uploaders and google/youtube.

dragonyght3193d ago

most japanese use their own video service instead of youtude. site such as niconico theirs no conspiracy there

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz149117d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga118d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero117d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga117d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g118d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor117d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos118d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv72117d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos117d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel1989117d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv72116d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

The list is missing Folklore.
