Japanese Spyro Anonymous Sun Oct 30 23:11:24 2016 No.3592253 [Reply] [Original]

In the Japanese Spyro games the camera is always in the sky looking down at Spyro.
He is also very slow, to compensate for the lack of visibility I suppose.

For what purpose? Why would this camera angle be better for Japanese people?

>>3593154
it's because of ~mass feminization~ woahhhh muh fluoride

really, cute stuff in general is a very effective, sneaky marketing tool since seeing something cute instinctually makes you empathetic towards it. or i guess it's better to say that, as a consumer, your instinct towards empathy is hijacked by capitalists to make you purchase mass-produced kawaii stuff. why japan in particular? idk, i think the necessary need for japan to use as little resources as possible and as little land as possible (since japan's so small) in their agricultural advancement led to some weird fetishization of small (i.e. cute) things.

just a personal theory but i think it makes more sense than whatever alex jones non-answers youre getting so far

>>3597593
murder isn't cute. once you see past the kawaiideology, you really see that kirby's as fucked up and Not Cute as any war game. the fact that it tries to look cute while this pink xenophobic blob alien runs around eating and otherwise mutilating everything that moves only makes it creepier really

fun games tho

>>3597593
ffs even the games mostly have some third act twist where it's revealed that your murder-spree wasn't actually helping anyone and you end up accidentally unleashing some horrible evil. i think even the devs know how fucked up it is. the kirby games almost seem like weird commentaries on misleading appearances and the role of a hero in a game with a violent meta. spec ops the line ain't shit.

Anonymous Wed Nov 2 23:12:05 2016 No.3597631

Oh man, this Spyro looks like garbage to me. It looks like it's trying to be more like other successful 3d platformers of the day, but one of the things I loved about Spyro was charging ahead with the camera right behind you. It felt cool. That said, I wouldn't knock it without trying it. Maybe it would have it's very own cool feeling.
