Why are there so few anthro games now compared to the 90's? It's basically just Sonic and some indies.
probably fnaf and undertale fatigue
Because subhuman furfaggots ruined the concept.
This game's designs kind of remind me of Star Fox if it had modern HD graphics.
Funny thing is that the furry fandom is probably bigger than ever so a big company could make a lot of money by putting some effort into an anthro game, but the concept of furries turns a lot of people off so it's harder to make a game starring anthros without being accused of making a furry game.
>>722816570>>722816673Is it really just furfags poisoning the well and giving these games bad rep? Because back in the 90's it was all considered family friendly and people liked playing as cute animals.
>>722816121Transition from sixth to seventh gen made "cartoony" games very uncool and most companies were chasing, you know, that Uncharted/God of War/Call of Duty/FIFA money.Even sixth gen, animal mascot - they weren't considered anthro or furry - games were considered kind of cheap. And now anyone who tries making one, we all know it's for ulterior reasons.
>>722816803>Is it really just furfags poisoning the well and giving these games bad rep?It's not just about bad rep. Furfags alienated normal people from the concept of anthropomorphic animals so now you don't have normal people design such characters anymore so you don't get characters like Sonic or the original Crash. Every anthro is now the fetish character of some freak faggot. That Crash comparison perfectly encapsulates this.
>>722817163>we all know it's for ulterior reasons.like, enjoying an aesthetic?i really can't think of a single modern furry game where the dev made anthro characters just because they liked them.
>>722817318*didn't make
>>722816803back in the 90s you didnt have social media bombardment trying to indoctrinate kids into every single degenerate cult 24/7. they still tried but the pacing was different and there werent as many because online artist wasnt a career so no one was shilling it.
Play Back to the Dawn.It's my personal GOTY.
>>722816121you know how AAA games are trying to be like "serious media" like film? animal people are strongly associated with children's cartoons and animation, so they tend to be looked down on in other forms of entertainment. AAA devs want "mature" stories like the last of us and red dead
>>722818843This >>722818559 chink indie game has a better and more mature story than every AAA game released in the past 15 years.
>>722818843naaah its just that it became synonyms with degenerates masturbating to it
>>722819029hentai right now is not considered weird, and i am sure as fuck most normalfags jerk of too anime tittiesgive it some time, people are already becoming a lot more accepting
Furries turned it into a sex thing and no one wants to be associated with those weirdos
>>722818843>Nine SlopsReminder that game has a hot spring fanservice scene, there was really no need for that, it weirded me out
>>722819659whyit made absolute sense in the context and had great visualsare you so afraid of art being even slightly evocative?
>>722816121there are loads of furry games, if you look at indies. normies don't buy anthro games unless it's nintendo. it isn't profitable to make AAA games with a pigman as the protagonist.
>>722819784There are new Ratchet & Clank and Crash the Bandicoot games, and these are AAA.
>>722819974there are always exceptions, those games were barely noticed, are years old at this point, and (most importantly) have a legacy and nostalgia to help sell them. those two examples don't really negate anything i said.
Funky animal person mascot games fell out of popularity and the industry got obsessed with being more serious and "mature" than basically making playable cartoons. It's not rocket surgery, thinking furries had jack shit to do with it is vastly overestimating how many regular people in positions of power knew what the fuck a furry is in the mid-late 00s, much less cared about them.
>>722816121F.I.S.T. is an alright game, although why the female character is more humanoid than everyone else confuses me.
>>722817185>>722819029>>722819453>>722819659What are you normalfags doing here, shitting yourselves over the very idea of lewdity?
>>722819974Aren't those like 5 years old at this point?
fovre hvndred and fovre
>>722820760In other other end of spectrum we get games with anthros that take themselves way too seriously to the point of becoming unnecessarily edgy
Can you recommend me any recent games with animal people that:-Have a decent story-are not saccharine or edgy-have a pleasant art style
>>722824974>>722818559
>>722825287Well yeah, heard of that one
>>722824974>>722816121issue is the furries honestly, even when a great indie like pic comes out the steam discussion is often filled with furries asking if theres basically gay porn in it. Furries kinda ruined anthros by being complete degenerate gooners that dont care for anything else but that. So most anthro games just go for that and dont care about a good art style, gameplay or writing since low effort porn games sell well enough.
>>722826018You could say same thing about games with pretty girls
>>722824974Project Silverfish
>>722826018>VN tier game>EA 0.3i see the real problem>>722816121seconding project silverfish
>>722826840>>722826929>project silverfishSomewhat interesting game, sure, but in it's current state I'd say that it really isn't worth all that it costs.
>90's anthros; fun, goofy cartoonized creatures 'LOL what if [TALKING ANIMAL] that way character can exhibit traits from said animal and it'd be funny lololol'>modern anthros; omg I want to fuck that wolf, bro that red rocket is so hot, I love being gay, trans rights!!!!oh wow I don't know why people don't want to associate with anything remotely close to the furfaggotry empire, I'm sure nobody knows
>>722817163'cartoony' wasn't uncool, it was never about them being uncool, and only about 'realism' being the race they went foreverything was (and has been since) about realism, more polys, higher resolution textures, photorealism, realistic shaders, realistic shadows, now RTX, yadda yaddacartoony was never not cool, just not as cool and not as easily sellable, you live in a world where fortnite, roblox, and minecraft are the biggest video game franchises in the world, and I would definitely call them cartoony (tho none of them have furfaggotry in them, but that's not the point)
>>722827810Furries and trannies =/= anthrosYou're the kind of faggot that thinks loli is CP or traps are trannies.
>>722826840>FPS At least Wild Assault lets me look at my animal character
>>722827623If you think of it in terms of value for money, content or gameplay quality, if PS isnt 'worth the money' then neither is any stalker game to begin with
>>722816121Jews hate anthro characters Jews own the industry
>>722816121Any other bnnuy games aside from TEVI, FIST and Lapin?No weird shit please, I just like bunnies, I don't want to fuck them.
>>722830158Kaze and the wild Masks
>>722830301Oh yeah, that one's neat! And speaking of DK clones, I also really enjoyed Marsupilami, the movement is tons of fun.
>>722828071that's not the point I'm making, you fucking nigger, which is why I used the word "associate"your intent is meaningless to the eyes of the public, your intent to do something separate from the furry kingdom will not hold much against normies seeing your game and instantly thinking of some disgusting porn picture of some disney character getting fucked in the ass their friend sent them as a joke and they will not play it because they will not want to risk being called a furryuse some braincells and look at what's happening around you
someone should make a game with those robo-scaly characters. synths i believe theyre called
>>722830132I guess that I am being little rough on it for it's cost, but the game really could use some more polishing around the edges.
>>722831303my only really qualm with the typical gameplaying is that your character moves way too fucking fast for the mutants to keep upi get that its unironically more realistic but it feels like the enemies are built just like in the average game where the player character walks and moves slower than a real person. and theres something weird about 3d games where giving the character realistic speeds makes it look as if they were extremely fast
>>722816121Anthros are too goofy in an age where the industry craves grit and realism
>>722832904Yes , industry. But not players.
>>722833152The industry cares more about themselves than the players nowadays
>>722832431Another issue is the perk system, which either doesn't do anything at all or completely changes gameplay, but that's mostly an issue with the idea rather than execution. I should play it more anyway.
