Big red flag with “cultural adaptation.” Old anime fans remember Brock’s “donut” from Pokémon and America’s One Piece replaced all guns references with candy canes…
Bitch, we want one to one translations or there will be a market for mods that replace subtitles with AI translations.
Idioms.
Slang.
Comedy.
Those are the only things acceptable for outright modification, only because it'd be things that 95% of consumers outside the development country would not even understand. Anything beyond that is destroying the creator's vision.
You don't understand, that's all we're doing. We replaced a joke in Japanese that wouldn't make any sense with one about misogynistic Gamergaters that the kiddos in America would understand. Just jokes man.
I don't want to even give them that at this point. Give me All Your Base over localization.
Exactly this. I wouldn't even let them have the foot in the door for translating idioms.
Nitter link for those who don't use twitter.
Surprisingly they haven't blocked replies yet.
I miss Ted Woolsey.
It was a different, more innocent time then. Even a blissfully ignorant time.
He was also talented and qualified, so that also helped a considerable amount.
so.. will they get rid of homos from saudi arabian/middle east versions? they go all pro f-ggot and virtue signal how pro f-ggot they are. but then bends the knee for middle east lol.
and it seems leftist and progressives arent screeching about pro f-ggot stuff being erased from middleeast versions.
Did they disparage Whites yet?
Leave it to Capcom once again maintaining their commitment to dive headfirst in yet another horribly unpopular business decision.
Remember when they unironically jammed on-disc DLC to their games?
How long until they slap together another megaman game to save their sorry asses again when they piss away even more consumers?
Don't forget their recent enigma bullshit.
Great news! The amount of sleep I've lost wondering when the Capcom Localization Team would finally get their own Twitter profile is indiscernable.
Apparently it's not a new account or anything, but this post just put the entire gaming sphere's eyes on them for ridicule.
Eradicate this team. But at least how there is a target to go after for our amusement.
