ITT: Industry bunkum thats not common knowledge but still interesting

It's going to be shit and they'll make the protagonist a nigger.

My contribution to the thread is that one of the programmers for Silent Hill made the game run smoothly on the PlayStation through wizardry spells but Konami tried fuck him over and not give him credit because of his age so he blackmailed them by holding the game hostage or something like that. Some if not most of you already know that.

Tell me more.

There's no way the modern game industry's climate could do Fear Effect justice. They will make the women fat and ugly or trans or something.

One of the best from memory
The kicker?

That's only manly motherfucker.

In my heart i believe he was the IRL inspiration for Segata Sanshiro.

Gonna need some proofs to go with this

What is really sad is Bungie is now closer to becoming 343 then 343 has moved towards Bungie. People had such hope for them after leaving Microsoft too.

Yeah there was a reason all the old Japanese games had pseudonyms in the credits. All the studios were absolutely petrified about head hunting. The video game market at the time was fucking exploding and all the games were made by a handful of people. So if you lost a good developer to a rival studio it could cost you so much money. If not just destroy your company.

There was some anons with a pirate copy of the ebook doing the rounds on Holla Forums a while back i should have saved it.

The interviews are genuinely fantastic. Not all bad. Like a guy that made his first game on old PC88 demo kiosks in his local department store. He went in with a tape and a lunch and spent all day coding his first game on that demo, printed the code out and sent it to a magazine and won a coding competition to get a job at snk.

Sega must've also hired the yakuza to steal those launch-day Super Nintendos as well. I wonder what the yakuza think of Yakuza, spics and wops were flattered and even laughed at the portrayal of their families and syndicates in Godfather, Goodfellas, and Scarface.

and to think theres a whole sub culture in nippon now of people making dreamcast games in their rooms they burn and sell at comiket and the like. Shit we rarely ever see.

Don't forget the rumours that nintendo hired them to kill Gunpei, the creator of the gameboy, who left to make the Wonderswan for bandai.

You know the Kirby had its 25th anniversary last year right?

fyi, superbunnyhop is a faggot.
this is from someone who watched him until I couldn't stand his faggotry

Projects dont get made the year they come out. They go through multiple variations and in some case developers before its done. What he applied for could have been very very different to the final teams product.

And a Jew.

I think Sega hired actual Yakuza to play Yakuza 3 as part of a promotion.
The funniest part was when they got to see Kiryu running his orphanage, one of them remarked that he once knew a Yakuza that ran an orphanage, to which another quickly interjects with “Yeah, but wasn’t that just a tax shelter?”

I remember reading an article on some guy who was trying to dig up where the Metal Slug guys went, and he couldn't find anything.
Is that why all the old SNK artists vanished into thin air? Were they simply too good?

I don't know if that was an actual promotion, but some journalist did interview a bunch of yakuzas playing the game, yes.
"Yeah, but he ran it like it was a real thing." That whole interview is great.

I have some link to some user's vidya literature Mega and expected to find them there, but they're surprisingly not there despite him having an entire folder for other stuff HG101 published.

...

Jesus Christ, the Japanese are fucking insane.

I know some similar branding shit.

Getting hired at a company in Japan is basically like joining a family. You're pretty much in for life. Outright firings are rare, but they will give you shit work to do until you quit. I remember someone even saying they didn't even have to work, they were put in an empty room and told to stay there eight hours a day to earn their pay. Apparently that was the most effective technique because people simply couldn't stand the boredom.

And in the West they get infested by Jews, Nip-san. I'll take the Yakuza over Mr. Shlomo Goldstein and his genocidal agenda.

What a weird people.

They are usually guarded by one of their coworkers to ensure that they do nothing.

Way to ruin the moment

Bet you're too much of a coward to strap yourself with high-yield explosives, go to your former employer's HQ and threaten to execute every single one of them if they dare do that shit ever again, preferrably with their child strapped onto you as well.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is named as such because Nintendo wouldn't license Atlus the full rights to Fire Emblem

Also published by Namco back when they used the "Namcot" brand name for home console stuff.

...

I know from experience that if you work for an Italian family, they will do this, too.

Fun story, when Bungie decided to ship Myth 2 they got a message from their Japanese publisher that the game's uninstaller came with a bug which would delete your entire OS if you ran it and if you installed the game in your root directory which almost nobody ever does. Bungie already shipped 200,000 copies, and they had to decide whether they were just going to give it the silent treatment and patch it later since this bug probably wouldn't occur that often, or recall all copies and send out the fixed version instead which would cost them a shitton of money. Bungie opted to do the latter. According to Jason Jones:

Could you imagine modern Bungie doing this after the shit they pulled/are pulling in Destiny 2? Unfortunately this decision and the resulting financial hit was one of the main reasons why Bungie let themselves be bought out by Microsoft so they could stay afloat, only to slowly decline afterwards.

...

RIP Bungie

Tim Langdell. Wanker.

I'm not very familiar with OLD OS's, but just how the fuck would that happen? If anyone knows, please do indulge.

I can only make a random guess, but…
1. OS don't see things like humans do. So it might point to the memory address that is suppose to be where the game is. But if nothing is filled in, by default, a lot of the time it will go to your windows 98/Mac OS directory. Since it was a bug, the uninstaller might never have sent the correct memory address.

2. It goes up one directory of the current directory and deletes that folder. If its in the root base folder though, it might delete that entire harddrive?

Those are wild guesses though.

...

Something similar happened with save files with Diakaitan as well.

The former sounds most likely, but my guess is as good as yours. Thanks, user.

Xenogears disc 2 was also butchered by FF8

One of the expansions for EVE Online did this shit. CCP programmed the game with a structure similar to that of windows itself. One file was named identically to a file that managed windows boot loader. The uninstaller pointed at the C:\ drive instead of the EVE install directory, that file got deleted, and as a result you couldn't boot to windows.

It wasn't terribly difficult to fix, but it was incredibly bad press for CCP.

Here's the sauce;

Thanks for reminding me.

Reminder that Final Fantasy XIII-2 was originally Chrono 3.

I'm pretty sure just about anyone else would take aloof stockholders who just want to see returns on their investments over the fucking yakuza, pal.

I'd take the fucking mob's hard rules over Schlomo Goldstein's global mongrelisation plan where his tribe gets treated like gods any day. Lives are expendable, the fabric and future of societies isn't.

You also fucked Anita and John Flynt for male (((feminist))) brownie points

rm -rf / [path to game]
instead of
rm -rf /[path to game]

I don't fucking blame him.

I'm guessing that rather than removing just the game's files, the uninstaller takes the lazy route and just removes everything inside the installation folder. If your game folder happens to be your root, goodbye operating system.

I don't think Sega was part of it though. Also it's implied that to score the interview the interviewer had to have sex with one of the Yakuza's girlfriend while he watched.

Their overall consensus was that the plot, characters and dialogue felt very accurate. The level of action did not; anyone that gets into that many fights is getting killed by his own guys for starting trouble.

Champion Edition does have some good changes though. All the boss characters are now playable (four new playable total), it added mirror matches (two people couldn't pick the same character before) and there were some other balance changes and new art and music.

Of course the question is if they would have released it at that time, or added some of the content that was part of a later release.

(((same)))

The Yakuza thought Kiryu still was in the Yakuza though

When Final Fantasy came out a lot of people loved it and sent in letters to Square asking for jobs.

They saw that the game was programmed by some group called Nasir, so they asked to join Nasir, or the Nasir department.

Nasir is the first name of the single man that programmed the entire thing from scratch. He was just so goddamned good that everyone assumed he was a team of people.

...

...

Nasir Gebelli. He's Iranian.

If it was a Japanese name they would have figured it out. But since it wasn't obviously someone's name they had no idea.

Dude did the first few FF games, Secret of Mana, and a ton of influential (at the time) PC games before the crash of 83. He makes so much money off of royalties that he retired in `94.

That's why you always back up your shit. Project Zomboid (or some other zombie game I forget), Half Life 2 and more got fucked by the same problem.

Bullshit. It didn't stop him from hyping up his next games as God's gift to man.

HAHAHAHA WOW GUYS DID U KNOW MARYO 2 WAS CALLED DOKI DOKI PANIC XDDDDDDDDD=

Parasite Eve as a franchise isn't commonly known, trivia abut it sure as fuck isn't.

Stop shitposting so hard or I'll call the police.

Everyone>>14104480
knows about Nasir you underage faggot
You must be 18 years or older to post here >>>/reddit/

He used to more or less deliver though. Being stuck on MS's leash to make Fable sequels that had so little in common with what Fable was initially intended to be is probably the main issue.

Fucked up thing is the original xbox release of Fable had a bunch of incomplete content in it including enormous open world zones ranging from flat texture to actually populated with trees and plants. There was a group at the time called the LAN Pirates who were digging up all kinds of cool shit, then it all just kinda disappeared.

I'm only privy to the loss thanks to knowing one of their employees at the time as everyone panicked, rightly so, over losing their job when it happened.

...

...

Bungie bought their independence from Microshit just to sign a 3-game + season pass for each game contract with Activision. I had no hope because I could actually read between the lines.

I don't know if this works or not but I just googled it and found it in an archvied halchan /vr/ thread

lel this guy doesn't even know who runs organized crime

How murdery is the yakuza? Or do they mostly just break legs or something?

They'll make you fuck dogs to pay debt.

Oh, so they are basically just a japan crazy version of a regular organized crime gang.

for all intents and purposes yes.

Kikes don't run most of it, they profit a shitton from laundering the money of who they declare bad goyim through their Jewdicial system. That's the difference. I'm not talking about the Jewish crime syndicates straight from Israel though.

Can you fuck dogs until they owe you money?

From what I know, murder is rare unless you're part of one of the families and fuck up bad. They'll mostly have you do extremely humiliating and deviant things on camera and/or have your family do it if you don't pay your debts though. They are not above kidnapping loved ones to pass a message and extortion of local businesses is extremely common.

Even if you did, I'd advise against trying to claim that money.

What are they going to do? Not pay you? Make you fuck more dogs?

bungie was sound for awhile

Force your waifu into prostitution, cave your face in and throw you into Tokyo Bay while you're unconscious.

Only if you really fuck up, most of the other time they make you do some shameful shit.

So its more of a they can kill you but they don't get money, so they will make you do awful shit until you pay? Makes sense.

They can and will but usually not for debts. To many Japanese people doing shameful shit is considered worse than death. All has to do with their traditions which puts honor above almost all else. They make you do awful shit which they know they usually can profit off of too. You now know where the most fucked up Japanese porn comes from.

Oh fuck, for a good minute there I thought you guys were talking about the videogame.

we could talk about that kind of vidya if you want ;^)

Oh fuck, its all coming together.

Sorry to get off topic man, besides this is sorta kind slightly relevant to the thread.

Parasite Eve (the novel) also became a movie in Japan. The game is based more on the movie than the novel itself, being a game sequel to it.
The worst art of the deal was that they had the IP for 1 years and did nothing good with it after the first game.
Wasted money and wasted ideas.

They mostly only resort to violence on their own members.
If you want to see some really fucked up crimes from Japan though, look into the Amagasaki murders.

I've read in magazines at the time (so, lies were rampant, mind you) that the FF 8 team actively sabotaged Xenogears internally in Square's office because Xeno was attracting much more attention from Gamers than the brand new FF of the time.
Any reliable sources on that?

They aren't stockholders. They are propagandists.
Yakuza killing them and taking over their business is the best scenario.

then who guards the guard to watch someone do nothing?

NO YEN? NO HONOR. MAKE LOVE TO DOG! SHAMEFUR DISPRAY!

You make both of them watch eachother through a window, install a camera to make sure they do their job then livestream it on a Chinese gambling site where rich chinks bet on whoever they think will die of boredom first.

And I'll take someone who just wants their money (laundering opportunity) over someone with an agenda.

All the "guard" has to do is make sure that the person in isolation doesn't enter the room with a means of entertainment and check by irregularly to make sure that they didn't smuggle anything in. And on top of that, playing video games or reading books or sleeping or something when you're supposed to be "working" - even if your assignment is "sit quietly at this desk and do nothing" - gives the employer an excuse to fire you.

...

Learn about Japanese culture you lazy cunt. Everything is easily findable over the internet.

Knowledge about japan is a slippery slope to becoming a weeb.

And being born in the US is a sure way to have an education that makes you legally a retard in other western countries while directly contributing to ZOG through taxation. Kill yourself goon.

I'm talking about your claim the Yakuza make zoo porn, not Nip culture.

I'm not the one who mentioned dog fucking, that was the other user. I know for a fact about the gangbang ones and those who look like the girl is raped are usually produced by the yakuza.

I can think of one even stranger: the rights to various parts of the IP got split up between a bunch of different people/organizations, and AFAIK the only part of the rights anyone has been able to track down is the rights to the IP's name… which somehow wound up in the hands of an insurance company, of all things.

I speak, of course, of good old System Shock.

Tim Langdell's boner for mongering the word edge died forever when he tried fucking with EA over Mirror's Edge. EA in turn did the only good thing they've done in the last 15 years and blew his trademark out of the water

that's correct. IIRC it did something like
which meant it basically did something like
so if it was installed to c:\myth, there goes \
The employees opened every box by hand and replaced the CDs in each.

IIRC, the Project Zomboid guys had their studio broken into and all their gear (computers, external storage, etc) was stolen.

On-site backups probably wouldn't have helped much there, but an off-site/cloud one would.

real life yakuza reactions to the Yakuza series have ranged from death threats to admiration. It seems a number of yakuza aspire to be more like Kazuma than his enemies

Well shit, I guess it really is hard to convey things like sarcasm and humor through text alone. Or maybe it’s because everyone is just too serious. That is true about the US. I swung A’s and B’s, probably meaning I’d have a C average in Europe, but what are you going to do. sage for mild blog post

I'm also dead tired, drunk and legit retards (paid or not) swarm imageboards so sarcasm is kinda over my head at this point.

It's the old 3 2 1 rule for backing your shit up.
Three backups.
One at least two different forms of storage.
At least one stored off-site.

from the older guard and rivals of those who support Sega?

from neophytes and friends of Sega?

Indeed. And said backups should be tested regularly, to boot; if you don't test them, they don't exist.

Do you have any other information that's more specific regarding this lost Fable beta? I remember hearing about a fair few things cut from Black & White 2, so it's not unbelievable that this could have happened. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I remember that there were supposed to be animatic cutscenes centered around a prophet character that the player god hitched a ride inside the brain of, hence being able to mindread the enemy leaders outside your influence ring. Don't remember anything else that isn't more publically accessible- Black & White 1 style max creature size, scaleable wall thickness & height, the ability for the former to step over the latter- and I've unfortunately never been able to dig up the old ass articles regarding that content again. And considering that B&W2 information I've been snooping for, this is really fascinating.

Well thanks, asshole… as if my dick wasn't hard enough watching that shit already.

So that one video where they gave the girl an enema, then put a bunch of goldfish up her ass, and then filmed them trying to swim around in her rectum with an endoscope while she blows a middle-aged salary man… that was because some family member couldn't pay their loanshark.

Nice.

Didn't know it had an apparently DVD/video version. I've just had PDFs I found in a share thread some time back.

Bandai Namco WANTS to release DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 HD on the current consoles, but can't do it since the original source code is gone ever since they got the license from Atari.
I honestly don't understand some game industry taboos. Why the fuck is reverse engineering shit you entirely own so forbidden?

Some versions of half-life 1 supposedly had a similar problem. The game was expected to be installed in /sierra/half-life so the uninstaller deletes its own directory and the one above it, so if you don't install it two directories deep, you lose a bunch of shit (e.g. your games folder, or the entire drive if you installed it as C:\half-life\).

boot.ini was hilarious, mostly because it didn't happen to me. I think it only affected people who installed in on their system drive or something.

The gaming community is complete fucking ass when they throw around terms.

Fear Effect Reinvented is a full remake then? Not a remaster or an enhanced port?

DAE PUCKMAN XDDDD #GAMERTHINGS

Remake.
Examples: the Metal Gear Solid gamecube remake, the upcoming FFVII remake or the new King's Bounty the Legend.

Remaster/enchanced port.
Examples: Baldur's Gate EE, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth (ported from the PS1 to the PSP).

You're right about people throwing around terms without really understanding them.

It's a shame full-on remakes are rarer and rarer nowadays because casuals to whom PCs are completely foreign have no problems paying for "HD" compilations of old games where it's just the old games verbatim just ran at higher resolution. And some great old games out there have aged so much they really would benefit from some newer technology.

thanks dude (checked)

Depends.
Look at the MGS remake. It takes advantage of the new engine and mechanics, but the original environment and enemy placement was not designed with that immense amount of player freedom in mind.
Thus, the game suffers.
FFVII remake is going to be shit because they'll dial the kikery up to 11, but that's a problem of a different kind.

I'm really not sure whether I want to agree with you or not. On the one hand, I'd absolutely love to see some old PS1 era classics properly remade, but on the other I know it would likely turn into total fuckery and the game would end up being butchered.

You can never be sure whether or not the remake will stay true to the original, sometimes they make changes that ruin the moment. Webms related.
And lets not forget if the game has licensed music and the rights expire.

please, tell me this is all lies.

What the fuck is that music in the remake? Who the fuck thought that picking an eunuch singer who just discovered autotune was a good idea?

I actually looked into things for a bit later and found out that the original producer of VP had plans to make a proper third game (again).
What did Squeenix do?

Took the idea and moulded it into a mobile game.
A year afterwards, the guy left.

Can't into archive because I am a faggot, bully me.

The shit company and it's abysmal brand of JRPG faggotry can't die soon enough.
I'm honestly glad FFXV flopped.
Fuck FF.

And I'll add they even ruined the moment he get stabbed by adding a cartoon stab sound effect, while still playing the shitty music

team had a 10 year development cycle plus infinite money and yet it was an unpolished mess. and they're still releasing random bull-crap DLC for it. (until the inevitably broken PC port comes out)

it gets worse…they canceled a proper hd remake of deus ex with 1:1 asset recreation, revoiced dialog by the original actors with the option for the original in ue3.5 just to fund final fantasy 15.

also drakengard 4 got canceled to fund final fantasy 15.

and shenmue 3.

I never asked for this kind of suffering.

that actually might come out, it probably won't be "good" since I'm pretty sure it's going to be a barely finished Tech demo with less than five hours of actual unique gameplay, and an ending that literally says "please give us more money".

...

I'm fucking with you nigger, the way the industry works is far more complicated than the way Holla Forums wants you, and you appear to believe it.

...

Well if I was going to code something to remove files for the purpose of fubar (not sure if code formatting works here so forgive me)
```rm *``` which is remove all thing in my current path and all paths below it.
then ```cd .. rm ``` because that would be stored somewhere like regkeys so I'd pull it from there - or have it hard coded to have a given folder name

I remember reading about this. Its going to be some kind of srpg. To think Fear Effect 3 was being made and then got canceled, only for this crap to get created. Its Battlefront 1313 all over again.

...

Is the cover necessary? I know exactly what you're talking about and I believe I do have it, the books you talk about was a whole dump that kept getting taken down I have it.

post it then, nigs

dump it man, you can post pdfs so its not like they'll be taken down here until the thread 404s

I though it was supposed to be a twinstick shooter or something of the sort.

My attempts at pdf uploads always fails when doing it to 8ch.net, I'll post the link when it's finished uploading later today.

And it's done get it before it expires.

Looking at Deus Ex, didn't they have a Sonic easteregg that basically came to be because of the interaction between the two shitposters that run their respective twitter accounts?

If they aren't good enough friends with you to do this for you you shouldn't be there in the first place.

They're Japs, although from the security guards I've talked to at home you can't really get away with video games during the day shift. But it's much more lenient on the graveyard shift unless you have to stand the entire time then your options are more limited.

Got a question….is there a volume 1?

Putting you faggot ass … aside yes I do. It's fully uploaded and never do that again you fucking cock sucker.

They can also fuck up the remaster too.
hooktube.com/watch?v=cVAHfjIfj38

I guess I'll watch your video, Luke.

Oh..OK then. Cool..I thought it's one of those books that says Volume 2…but turns out that is actually the only existing volume. Sorry, user.

Thanks buddy

What are you on about? Volume 1 and 2 are uploaded there.

Protip: when Volafile updates uploaded files a (#) appears in the tab.

Yeah, I'd take aloof stockholders who just want to see returns on their investments over kikes any day, myself.

I gotta tell you, I still think they'd find a way to fuck that up. Gameplay mechanics being left out for being too complex for consoles. Dialogue cut for being too triggering. Steam Workshop added because paid mods would be a good source of revenue.

...

Fuck off. Archive or nothing.
Still, DX is better left as is or for fans to recreate. I wouldn't be able to stomach some landwhale bitch crying to square enix that "there aren't female jcs waaaaaaaa" or some fucking (((allied))) cunt publishing some bullshit like "Deus Ex hidden Alt-Right message".

They did in the most recent game

damn they trolling

Organized criminals have rules that they follow, the rules may be seen as illegitimate by the legitimate state, but they have have some honor/rules, and thats at least one thing they have on the stockholders.
If you fuck up hard in an organized crime group you get killed or worse
If you fuck up hard in stockholding you get a government bailout

Wait a second
Oh fuck, the Yakuza actually achieved some justice when their speculative-investor ruling-class fucked them over with speculative investment.

KC-tier autism

Fucking kek.

I still think they missed an opportunity not calling this FFXV with a release date of 2029

I am convinced that this is the backbone of niplandian economy.

Are you fucking stupid?

Have to remember that stuff on volafile expires after like four days. Try .
