Gears of War in Japanese: No big eyes, no small mouths |
Ó
One of the many cliches involved with Japanese adaptations of western franchises (Witchblade for example) is that often times the franchise/series gets adapted into something that's very anime-ish. You know, big-eyes, small mouths, and a lot of "emo"-drama gets injected and for some unknown reason there's always an unreasonably, androgynous, white-haired, villain carrying around an impractically long sword.
Anyway, we're very thankful that the Japanese Gears of War is essentially just a translation, and not an adaptation. We were a bit worried that Gears might end up looking like Ghost in the Shell or some other sci-fi anime.

What can we say? The game's got global appeal.

ur white arnt u ian
I'd like to hear one example of how a game was changed when translated to the Japanese Martket...
I know they sometimes get westernised when leaving Japan (Elite Beat Agents anyone?) but I've never heard of "Super Sentai Grand Theft Auto Tokyo Take-Over'
This article makes no sense
this article is so stupid. And RARELY is a western game even "adapted" to the jp market in the manner you are talking about.
Wow Ian. You're a jack-ass.
blablablablabla blablablablabla blablablablabla blablablablabla blablablablabla blablablablabla blablablablabla blablablablabla blablablablabla blablablablabla blblablablablab la blablablablabla blablablablaablablablablabla !!!!!
p.s. blabla bla
but really i hear he love to floss with co ck
honostly guys you should leave your childish comments to yourself. nobody cares, end of story. as for this video. the japs are notorious for having more difficult games. playing on casual = weak sauce
You make no sense....
Actually Sev, the Japanese gaming community prefers their games on easier difficulties. Games like DMC were tweaked from their Japanese counterparts to make them more difficult (and to appeal) for the Western gamers. People seem to think that because Japanese gamers play fighting games competitively, that they prefer harder difficulty games. It's all backwards.
Why is the word "emo embedded as a tag for this article?
