The only time I would ever want IPs like that is if it's some sort of timeless brand like Warhammer or Fallout. I'm being blunt, I don't think Assassins Creed is that special in terms of design. If you can pull off a copy-cat and nobody cares then it was never that amazing, just give me a non-woke Japanese game where I get to play as a shinobi taking down generals like it's Shogun Total War and I'd be thrilled. I would also go so far as to write this about the GTA series, I don't think anyone would care if somebody cloned a GTA game and made it better without the woke shite inserted in.
You know something? I'm keeping it close to the chest now because otherwise I'm a shit talker if I don't post up some gameplay footage. I've been seriously pondering it and studying up on my character meshes for precisely this reason. My main work is by the gods at the moment though because that's quite a passion project for me, I'm more veering towards a crime game because that market is ridiculously wide open. Some kind of assassin game these days wouldn't be insanely difficult to do.
The west has already been culturally conquered, Japan with a homogenous population and advanced culture that is being admired was the obvious next step.
One thing I find amusing is when white leftists talk about Japan's xenophobia is how fast they flip to that because for once they can play the victims as white foreigners. Then you realise that these are inevitably the types of inconsiderate dicks that think they can show up in a foreign country and smoke weed or deface priceless historical structures and yes that's a thing.
The ones playing victims also are successfully using that "xenophobia" bludgeon to convince Japanese people who like foreigners to be nice and protest with them.
Though I do wonder how many of those foreigners are white vs. (((white))) or other miscellaneous shade of brown.
They hate Japan, but loving moving there and experiencing all their nice things. Then they complain its not like the place they moved from. Sounds kinda familiar.
Lose a war where you ally with Nazis and you pay the price. Japan has been conquered. They should have thought about that before they sided with Hitler.
Yep, even Bethesda can capitalise better than them given all they did was provide a much needed patch to Fallout 4 and make a few Enclave related creation club stuff free after the Fallout show.
People put up with Bethesda for a long time because they provided real gameplay value in the long run and you could play their games for months and people still do. However that shine is coming off now thanks to Fallout 76 and Starfield and like other studios they're discovering with horror that normies at best will only hang around for a short while and aren't loyal customers. Can't wait to see the flailing about they do like with Disney and they try to salvage their reputation.

Yeah through other people's free work being put into fixing their broken buggy games. Anyone whose tried playing through a vanilla Bethesda game knows that there is a near 100% chance at least a handful of quests will be completely inaccessible because the game just broke and is unfixable. God help you if you aren't on PC with console commands to just break the game back into place.
The fact that people defended their games at any point past like 2010 is proof that there are no "principles" this consumer base. Its just outrage bait when the correct Eceleb says to be angry and the game is bad, and then "but but but I love this game, so it gets a pass on everything" when it inevitably comes for yours.
you know what? think of this as the same as how games that used to have pretty bikini girls was acceptable 15 years ago but now its not because of woke. now apply this to this "black samurai" thing. 15 years ago it wouldve been acceptable because this BLM bullshit and wokeness hasnt manifested to the level we see today. 15 years ago it would've been seen as cool, similar to the example people use, Afro Samurai.
Any game that attracts woke makes the game unattractive imo (even if it is not a woke game).. its like wearing your hat backwards is cool at school, but then your parents pick you up from school while wearing their hat backwards. suddenly its not cool. like they start trying to say "that character is trans coded" or some shit like that.
honestly.. at this point, ask black people why they have to rely on the japanese/white people to make games that have black characters? lawl. seems they always advocate for "black only" or "black owned" maybe they can make a black only game company and make a game.
This is the same reason why tattoos, piercings, neon hair, and just general "alt" fashion has become so cringe. Not because of the thing in itself, but because of the kind of insufferable weaselly shitbags who tend to wear that stuff. Conspicuous "diversity" used to just be an aesthetic quirk, but now it's a signal that some spoiled brats who only ended up in their positions because they got on the track from private high school to expensive liberal arts college to the corporate bureaucracy deliberately placed that shit in there as a middle finger to anyone who's not part of their soylennial bay area milieu.
also.. people that use "well, how come no one have issues with white main characters in a japanese setting".
well, japanese/asians and white people have similar skin tones, which works out fine in anime or games. most of the time you wouldnt know if a character is white or japanese until they say their names. and japanese/asians have a fascination with european history too since it is filled with interesting architecture, beauty of arts, language, food, and visually appealing people. basically european culture fits the fantasy setting. plus.. europeans have A LOT of recorded history, myths and lore.
a lot of games try to actually create asian characters with white beauty standards, asian characters with pointy noses and bigger eyes. im asian, and i do like that "hapa" look, the half asian-half white, look.
It is pretty hilarious how OBSESSED the left is over Yasuke. Bro wasn't even in Japan for a year.
They are obsessed with black people, period.
Negrophilia is like one of the core tenants of libtards
It's fucking creepy and weird how much they worship them.
The long awaited Assassin's Creed set in Japan, the one fans have been begging for a DECADE for...and they fucked it up to pander.
Wonder how long before Ubisoft's IPs become available.
The only time I would ever want IPs like that is if it's some sort of timeless brand like Warhammer or Fallout. I'm being blunt, I don't think Assassins Creed is that special in terms of design.

You should create it. The market is there.

Ghost of tsushima is basically a better AC japan
It's probably my nostalgia for Ezio that would make me want Assassin's Creed to be honest...
Though, they do have Tom Clancy rights..
They could have made the playable character Japanese and it would still be inclusive. Ubisoft is pretty dumb
With the Shogun show being a hit, this could have been a GREAT time to make an Assassin's Creed game set in Japan.
And Ubisoft fucked it up lol

Leftists hate Japan with a passion.
One thing I find amusing is when white leftists talk about Japan's xenophobia is how fast they flip to that because for once they can play the victims as white foreigners.

Like that matters to anyone. France and England have fallen way before Japan and they are the reason Israel even exists at the moment.
And that's how you're making THE argument that Hitler is a good guy. Congratulations, tool.
Yep, even Bethesda can capitalise better than them given all they did was provide a much needed patch to Fallout 4 and make a few Enclave related creation club stuff free after the Fallout show.
Which broke everything.
It wouldn't be Bethesda without fucking up the code...

Patricia Ford.
Just going to make asians actually more racist to blacks
It's pretty obvious that the woke cancer has targeted Japan to be next on the list for cultural appropriation.
Africans should've made way for the boers
