/vr/ - Retro Games

People always claim Kojima and more recognizable names as being the most ridiculous game makers but there is truly is no one quite as much of a mad man as Eno.

Some of my favorite Kenji Eno exploits include:
>While working at Warp games Eno would create bizarre marketing campaigns to advertise his games, such as including a bag of seed with Real Sound or, most famously, including condoms with condoms
>In order to ensure D would be shipped without any censorship he personally had a "clean" version without the most violent or gory scenes created specifically to only send to the ratings board of Japan who would approve it, then when it came time to actually produce copies he gave the original unaltered version.
>During a press conference to discuss how Enemy Zero would be a Playstation exclusive complete with Sony execs on stage, the trailer he ran went on past the end of the regular footage to a clip of the PlayStation logo morphing into the logo for Sega Saturn and announcing that Warp's latest game, Enemy Zero, would be a Saturn exclusive.
Did he make good games? Not really, but holy fuck did he love what he did and refused to give in to any compromises for his vision on games. It's truly tragic that he passed just as he finally really getting his footing in the industry after D2, I feel like he may have went on to produce genuine classics had he lived. Still, his legacy is amazing in itself and I really think he's among the most lovable devs in gaming, god bless this crazy fucker.
