Didn’t The Guardian publish articles defending DICE when they did nearly the exact same thing with Battlefield V, the imagined / alternate-history (or however DICE called it after-the-fact) WWII game? They didn’t seem to have a problem with an alternate timeline war based game back then, and actually defended it.
I just want a mechanic where your character slowly succumbs to PTSD and tinnitus, making them unplayable, and then you have to navigate the VA to prestige.
It’s so hard for tactical games to find appropriate “villain countries” now. Not that many countries are not villains, but that they’re the main target audience.
I remember long ago, The Great Ace Attorney didn’t get localized because the creators worried its story would be seen as xenophobic, in which a Japanese immigrant unveils massive corruption in the British justice system, as well as depicting London detective Sherlock Holmes as a blundering moron.
It did eventually come out, and it’s one of my favorites. Honestly, I think we’re overprimed for Western nations to be shown as villains in media.
It’s a prequel starring Phoenix’s Japanese ancestor in the 19th century. I haven’t played any of the games so I don’t know how it translates. I do know that Sherlock Holmes had to be renamed Herlock Sholmes because copyright can be ridiculous.
Wat. SURELY the copyright for Sherlock Holmes expired ages ago. Wasn’t that part of the reason we got a bunch of movies and shows about Holmes a handful of years back?
I don’t think it was purely copyright protection. While some other works feature SH (one involves the author’s Mary Sue being married to him), they usually show him as a cunning detective. This one is very unflattering of him, having Naruhodo constantly correct his dorky, inane predictions. Even if they wouldn’t technically have a case, the Doyle estate might act in a retaliatory way to them as they have done in some prior occasions.
Tap for spoiler
At the end of the game, it’s revealed Sholmes is really very clever, but acts in a foolish way to help inspire Naruhodo’s investigative confidence. Still, this doesn’t affect the marketing and brand impression much since it’s revealed so late.
Why imagine a war when we have actual modern warfare. I mean, it would be weird to change the concept of call of duty to just drone warfare, but come on… It’s called modern warfare.

Is The Guardian trying to manufacture outrage?

Then it would turn into homelessness simulator.

This is the first time I’m hearing about this. Is it a phoenix wright game/spinoff? And does it translate well?

“Call of duty” and “Change” do not belong in the same sentence.
It changed a lot.
Last one I played was United Offensive.
The most change they usually do is the number on the end and the price from $60 to $70 to $80 for the base game
