Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
I think culture, religion and ethnicity being thrown into any entertainment explicitly, just for showcase look rather boring , same as period/costume dramas. Seen too many already. On the other hand something freshly constructed , totally invented and having just some distant historical yet recognizable reference looks… -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
I won't argue against your point here about how Indian culture can be viewed from that lens, but that could be said about other cultures too. Yet other cultures have or had major AAA titles in development, like Assassin's Creed Mirage touching on Islam Something like the cancelled Black Panther game which would have been… -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
Thanks for your reply. With question 2, I'm asking more about (And I don't like to compare games, because each one deserves to stand on its own merit) But comparing something like Black Myth Wukong to Raji... or Assassin's Creed Mirage to Raji. Black Myth was a brand new IP from a brand new studio same as Raji, but it… -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
I like to approach all works as new fantasy worlds by default. When written right, these will gradually draw you in, explain beliefs, fears and expected behavior without forcing an encyclopedia on you. What really matters is if the game and the story are actually good - the rest is merely a world-building style. I've seen… -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
1 - Easy: Is it fun? Does it catch my eye? How much do I gravitate? 50/50? I don't go out of my way, but I don't shy away from it. 2 - Maybe it's overall expectation from the audience that game development happens in Western countries, Japan and China? Games from India, Africa, Mexico and others might get passed over… -
Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
Hey all, I’ve been noticing more games featuring real-world religions, ethnic communities, and cultural settings. I’m curious how Western players perceive this trend. Games like Assassin’s Creed and God of War explore mythology or historical cultures and tend to get a lot of attention in the West. Japanese mythology games… -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
I've just played through the Raji demo. I love Ico, Journey, Bayonetta, and Genji therefore I am right in the target audience (I've played a bit of PS2-era God Of War games but not enough to have a firm opinion on them). The thing I liked the most about the demo is the way the game is not afraid to have a rather powerful… -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
that's a topic with a lot of complexity. From my perspective; a western gaming audience is US, UK, Western Europe, Australia, NZ - these are very individualistic, competitive people primarily white, aged 12-50, that hold morals, values, and prejudices that are actually very specific and nuanced. They don't relate to Indian… -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
As far as games on Indian culture incorporating religion go, this game might fare better, https://youtu.be/S33QPNm1yTE?si=6JjwVbMEfH7XLJfT Still with the market dominated by AAA a publisher buyout is likely what the devs would hope for though with the current situation we should see more independent teams. -
Re: Depiction and Inclusion of Religion, Culture and Ethnicities in games
I wonder if they're a games data analyst/monetization analyst at Netease for Where Winds Meet. It's one of the largest F2P games to release recently, but I think has a hard time penetrating the western market because... I'm not telling you, even though I know why
