Alex Hutchinson claims plenty of Japanese games have "gibberish" narratives, but are not criticized by "subtly racist" gambling press.
Assassin's Creed III creative director Alex Hutchinson has taken a shot at Japanese games and those buy gw2 gold who critique them. Speaking to CVG, the developer claimed the narratives in Japanese games often leave something to be desired, and reviewers give these games a free pass.
Hutchinson claims the press exhibits a biased appreciation for Japanese games.
"Just think about how plenty of gw2 gold Japanese games are released where their tales are literally gibberish," he said. "There's no way you could write it with a straight face, and the journalists say, 'Oh it is wonderful.' Then Gears of War comes out and apparently it is the worst written narrative in a game ever. I'll take Gears of War over Bayonetta any time."
Hutchinson's remarks came as a response to a query regarding how Nintendo can release new iterations of long-running franchises every year without drawing much criticism. To this, Hutchinson remarked, "I think there is a subtle racism in the business, on the journalists' side, where Japanese developers are forgiven for doing what they do. I think it is condescending to do this."
Ultimately, Hutchinson said he thinks games ought to be judged on a simple scale of "is the story any lovely?"
