Between Sega forever damaging Sonic's reputation with Sonic The Hedgehog 06 or Gearbox putting out a game that should've stayed dead in Duke Nukem Forever.......this is essentially small potatoes. |

Xiaoyu trying to be DOA, but what's her background? With a name Chloe, so a Westerner dressed as weeaboo girl?
That's fine too so long as people are fine with Western style in their J-diversity. |

It's pretty sad that American gamers will [probably] never have a chance playing as Lucky Chloe simply for the conceived reason that she'll be met with negative reception from the American public. No wonder why a substantial chunk of the Western gaming community is in a state of polarization...
Surely now you don't mean that you want people to be comfortable with having Western sensibilities being shoehorned into Japanese-centered media, no? I don't think many folks would be satisfied with that sort of mentality... |

I'd be really disappointed if this turns out to be true and a vocal minority actually got content censored/removed from a western release. I can only hope those tweets was poking fun at the complainers.
What do you mean by "western style"? Western ethnicity girls like Chloe and Lili? Or western drawn/designed girls like them being modeled like the girls in western games? I don't have a problem with the former, in fact Lili is one of my favorite Tekken girls, but I'm not a fond of the latter. I generally don't find western aesthetics to be attractive, especially in video games. I do like recent trends of western companies hiring Japanese artists to designt their games like WayForward did with Shantae. I personally find Japanese Shantae cuter than Western Shantae. |

The anime levels of the 3DS game were amazing. |

I find it rather humorous to no end that ANN and even some of you all are taking Harada's tweets so seriously and that this is even front page news.
If any person here knows how Harada handles stuff like this over twitter, then you already know that he's trolling the living hell out of anyone willing to believe his statement. He does this every time controversy over certain aspects of his games are put into question. He's not the type of person who hides and waits for the big-wigs to come up with a solution or answer to the situation. He'll come back at people with stupid questions with a sarcastic or stupid question of his own. This is one of the reasons why I love him as a game designer because he knows what he wants to do with his games and wants to cater all types of demographics when it comes to Tekken....not just Westerners. Obviously, Americans (I'm included in this) and even some Europeans and such all think fighting games should always be serious with muscle bound, testosterone induced characters in order to be a acceptable game. This is what happened when Square-Enix brought Nier to the US and changed the lead character into some hulking pot of fail.....the game failed itself because it didn't target the people who really wanted the game and made it look rather generic. At any rate, ANN need to really do more research into this kind of stuff rather than just jumping at the first thing that seems like news when they don't know how people operate. Just saying....... |

I'm fairly certain Harada's just taunting people and she'll be in the game, but I find it funny how quick some of you jumped to blame the dreaded "people who care about social justice" when all of the people I know (and myself) who you'd call that that've talked about her actually really want her in the game. It was mainly GAF/fighting game players complaining; this didn't have anything to do with Gamergate, for once.

Yep, I'm going to assume that Play4real article about Tekken 7 being altered into a first-person-shooter title for Americans is little more than a joke. I've no doubt that if that were to truly occur, there will be outrage surging throughout the gaming community.

I was going to cite Atari's Pac-Man debacle, but then I read the "15 or so years" part. Looks like there've been some pretty good examples of corporate mishandling up there already. I'd like to add in Capcom pretending Mega Man never existed, which made an enemy out of Keiji Inafune, and Nintendo's mishandled marketing with the Wii U that created nothing but confusion for the Wii's expanded audience and turned them away from the system. I was also personally quite mad at The Pinball Arcade's third season doubling its prices while halving its output (the reason, apparently, is that Farsight Studios is having financial troubles, and this is its idea of remaining stable as a company), but I think I'm literally the only person who posts on the ANN forums who'd be concerned with that.
So it's business as usual? (It makes me wonder what their thoughts are on ACTUAL anime-esque fighting games. Dengeki Bunko Fighting Cimax must be like kryptonite to them.) |

I'm not even sure why we're getting into any ethical conversation about something so tame and stupid. GTA5 was banned in Australia not anywhere else and AUS has always been an exception not the rule. Faulty logic there. Also would Jack Thompson be more proud of Japan where they do actually censor games?

But DFC is obviously not a super serious game like Tekken so I'm sure it doesn't bother them. |

It would be just desserts for the American gaming crowd to just have a variety of muscle bound bald men as their avatar choices, while Europe and Asia get the full spectrum.
The Japanese are tired of hearing the same old complaints. That's why they region block their websites, and tell foreigners to stay away. That said, I hope Harada is just joking, because there are plenty of American gamers that are perfectly fine with anime centric characters. |
