Assassin's Creed Shadows: Feudal Japan Sneak Peek




Even if I comment, I get attacked by political correct believers overseas, and I learned how Asians are discriminated against all over the world. I learned a lot, thank you.

The level of discrimination in this country is so low that Japanese people are naturally looked down upon in the comments section.

Yasuke is not a samurai, the tatami mats are strange, and it's strange to take rice in spring.
Ubi is not learning Japan.




this is not japan, this game is suck.




Ubi: “I managed to bring a shot of a scenic spot that looks like Matomo!”
The spot-the-difference quiz is fine, but I want them to drop the statement that it's made in a way that is faithful to historical facts.

From the game's creation, content, and interviews, it's clear that UBI doesn't like Japan.




Ubi developer: ``I couldn't empathize with Japanese people, so I made the main character black''
↑It's racist.

A depiction of Japan that shouldn't make you laugh!
It's amazing how much they can do in just under a minute.

Gay Yasuke Zamurai is born in Japanese history




I didn't really get the hang of it until now
I completely understand the concept of "cultural appropriation"
If this happens, I'll be really annoyed.

Did they want to discriminate against Japanese people at the cost of losing a national market? Did he want to insult Japanese people by paying high consulting fees? It's a very expensive hobby, UBI.

It's more like a Chinese MMO fantasy than a Japanese one...

Yasuke?
11: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:30:33 ID:nHkUoQ0N0
The mistake was saying it was historical at first. Then they backtracked and said it's fiction. Everything's a mess.
13: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:31:31 ID:fI9uGD+S0
They don't mind going bankrupt for the sake of political correctness.
6: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:28:54 ID:g3jyiiu10
If Yasuke is the protagonist, what's the big deal? Who are these people complaining?
21: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:32:28 ID:MUEXdU9Q0
>>6
Yasuke being black is a fact, but there's no historical basis for the crap this game is doing.
14: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:31:41 ID:aR9mEhRN0
Oh, they said it was historical first, huh?

Then they should've used Hattori Hanzo.
16: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:31:44 ID:g3jyiiu10
Well, Ghost of Tsushima was also a fantasy based on real events.
20: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:32:24 ID:YxsqBwLe0
Japan has turned historical figures into women countless times. Don't act all high and mighty.

Thinking only Japanese history should be preserved is a big mistake.
27: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:33:29 ID:aR9mEhRN0

At first, I thought the same and wanted to defend it, but you can't call it historical. People will think it's real history, and that's not okay.
36: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:35:08 ID:tj/jy00w0
Jesus is black, and the Virgin Mary is Korean. Sounds good?
46: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:36:15 ID:WAyfxvtD0
A game where Yasuke waves a BLM banner while slaughtering Asians in medieval Japan.
47: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:36:38 ID:7rQsCiXh0
If other Assassin's Creed games also had foreign protagonists, it would make sense, but this is the only one... It feels off.
56: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:37:47 ID:3JmIzngI0
Another game ruined by overthinking political correctness...
60: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:38:31 ID:qLCPmImr0
Not buying or playing it.
62: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:39:19 ID:BYyEXcu80
I haven't bought an Assassin's Creed game since the early PS4 days. It's always the same stuff.
64: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:39:33 ID:DxeS7I/b0
If it were just another fake Japan, it would be the usual, but claiming it's historical is infuriating.
67: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:40:41 ID:8Pt8DuyM0
Yasuke!
68: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:41:25 ID:AsQdcCJv0
What if Yasuke's true identity is Cassandra? That would be interesting.
80: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:43:22 ID:B4AMU6Xh0
There's no historical evidence that Yasuke was a samurai. Claiming it's historical and trying to rewrite history is unacceptable.
83: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:44:20 ID:5xrgIY1H0
The historical fact is that a black man served Nobunaga, not that he was a samurai. This needs to be explained to non-Japanese people.
87: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:44:51 ID:fZBQ9tOG0
Black (shadow) and female (yin), so Shadows? That's messed up.
88: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:45:21 ID:QZRzrBpv0
At the entrance of the village, there's a torii gate, and you ride a horse through it. Then there's a prosperous farm village with cherry blossoms in bloom, and it's harvest season with a great yield this year.

Worse than Game Arts' "HARAKIRI."
89: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:45:35 ID:gQYwVmI90
This is true cultural appropriation.
90: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:45:40 ID:aR9mEhRN0
You can't call it historical. If it's fantasy, then go ahead.
96: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:46:40 ID:Q/s9rYzk0
They claim it's historical, but everything is inaccurate. I wonder if past games were also inaccurate to their respective cultures.
103: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:49:23 ID:VNO/3w8H0
They use Japanese culture because it's popular, but they openly admit to disliking Japanese people.
106: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:49:57 ID:aR9mEhRN0
Fantasy is fine, but calling it historical is not.
108: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:50:51 ID:9IGICXbP0
I saw an image where a black samurai is planting rice and saying it will be a good harvest this year.
113: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:52:09 ID:9c/gkx/t0
Meh, don't care.
116: anonymous 2024/06/16 13:52:43 ID:7v/miKf60
A game where a fully armored black man beats Japanese people with a club and beheads them.
139: anonymous 2024/06/16 14:00:52 ID:S6bbH9pP0
Like treating FGO as a historical game.
146: anonymous 2024/06/16 14:04:28 ID:LgCHVlil0
If it were as outrageous as Ninja Slayer, it would be fun. But claiming it's based on history with half-baked cultural research is just stupid.
148: anonymous 2024/06/16 14:04:47 ID:ds4xzeDr0
Did Yasuke do anything significant in history? Considering the timing he became Nobunaga's retainer, he probably only participated in the Kōshū campaign.
154: anonymous 2024/06/16 14:07:46 ID:k0LQGuo70
They should've made the Japanese characters ugly like in Ghost of Tsushima. By the end of the story, they start looking handsome somehow.
160: anonymous 2024/06/16 14:10:32 ID:Oj8pxDo60
Since the protagonist is black, are they gonna have rap music as the BGM in Feudal Japan?
167: anonymous 2024/06/16 14:12:03 ID:bX0NRCvt0
>>160
Unfortunately, the battle BGM is hip-hop.
165: anonymous 2024/06/16 14:11:59 ID:Xmtlsi8l0
Making an over-the-top "Foreigners' Misunderstood Japan" game would probably be more accurate.
178: anonymous 2024/06/16 14:15:59 ID:Gv7pTdyC0
Does this even have anything to do with assassins?
211: anonymous 2024/06/16 14:24:29 ID:OOrpbv2Q0
So white people are pandering to black people?
318: anonymous 2024/06/16 15:13:34 ID:cKZBZsEK0
The next game should be set in Africa with a Japanese protagonist for fairness.
364: anonymous 2024/06/16 15:38:59 ID:uj/t5FWE0
UBI: "Monkeys are saying something. They're no different from gorillas. Animals shouldn't be giving opinions to white people."
390: anonymous 2024/06/16 15:48:59 ID:a+XICWCK0
I don't understand why this is causing such an uproar.
411: anonymous 2024/06/16 16:01:25 ID:dr+kJOXC0
Does this mean Ubisoft, which makes Assassin's Creed, is a European company and not American?
456: anonymous 2024/06/16 16:27:10 ID:51/4OC8x0
Just don't buy it. It will go down in history as a black mark for Assassin's Creed, and maybe they'll rethink things.
