Does it count as whitewashing if the people who made the game were actually Japanese, or is this triple-reverse-racism

Nioh 1? The protagonist is based on an actual person.

i'd have to reinstall the game to check so that's probably never going to happen but i know the boss that i died the most on was definitely the bonus match against both the ninjas simultaneously

Very excited for this. There is a dearth of pure horror games and Frictional is the best of the best.

Was there any buzz that this was coming? Or just a total announcement out of nowhere?

i think maybe i phrased my original post poorly and i'm getting misunderstood, i didn't mean to imply there was some weird racial component to the character having to be white, i'm saying you could have made william in nioh a black lady from cleveland ohio for all the "actual historical person" factored into their character was worth

I wasn't expecting a diatribe against historical fiction in here but I guess everyone's gotta have something they hate

Some people noticed funky stuff happening on their website last week. A few amnesia related pages updating and placeholder links being put up. Other than that, completely out of the blue.

Sure but in the same sense that Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is based on an actual person.

There was some kind of ARG happening that turned up mysterious video clips but I guess it never escaped the Frictional community.

So what you're telling me is that the Hitler in Inglorious Basterds wasn't actually based on Hitler just because different events happened

Bit of a nitpick, innit?

It's the best depiction of the role vampirism played in the american civil war, bar none.

It's a movie that I wouldnt' call great but it's also one of those movies where I get the feeling most people talking poo poo about it just thought it looked dumb and never saw it (though it is pretty dumb)

It is a movie that depicts correctly depicts slaveowners as literal vampires

Abraham Lincoln also channels qi force or some poo poo and Mary Todd kills vampires by firing silverware out of a blunderbuss

its been a long time since i watched it but i remember it being good cuz it didnt actively try to be funny, it just played the concept straight and let the comedy largely come from the absurdity of what was happening. But i was in high school at the time so maybe im wrong

Taking itself seriously would be the bad way to go about it imo, not that I�ve seen it

Yeah it has the same earnestness about its premise the way the Fast and Furious movies do which is what I think makes it work

What I'm saying is it's more of a Wolfenstein 3D mecha-Hitler-with-flying-clones-and-a-zombie-army situation than an Inglourious Basterds Hitler-died-in-a-different-place situation.
