When did anime start massively influencing western games? I know Half-Life has the Akira elevators, but a game like Oni is anime top-to-bottom.
Shogo wore its anime influence on its sleeve, and that was back in 1998.
mid-late 90s. Ghost in the Shell was the first anime that normalfags felt like it was safe to say they watched, which is why so many anime-influenced stuff in that era (like Oni) are direct ripoffs of it
>>12142931>When did anime start massively influencing western gamesNever. Western art styles influenced video game designs far more than vice versa. Which is one of the reasons Oni flopped so hard. No one wanted to buy the weird looking anime game.The only western game with heavy anime influence that has been widely successful critically, commercially, and socially, has been Expedition 33.
>>12143689Asura's Wrath was pretty successful
nerds and old devs were always between the back and forth of anime and JP influenceit was a bright and hopeful time
>>12143874Asura's Wrath wasn't made by a western company. Also, define "successful". There have been no follow-ups and no sales for it have been published. Its reviews were also middling, at best.
>>12144874Asura's Wrath devs got put back on the Naruto Ultimate Ninja series after AW.
>>12143028And to this day Ghost in the Shell remains one of the only anime worth watching if you are not a terminal weeb.
>>12145820Based on what?
>>12142931>>12145820Play hyper iria (snes)
>>12142937shogo was like a cheesey anime mecha game it goes so hard with it its hilarioushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--c7T6UDsqM&list=RD--c7T6UDsqM&start_radio=1
>>12145946the song certainly fits the "80s ova" themr
>>12142931Id say late 90s when 3D was abit mature but i think it goes farther then that with stuff like mechwarrior/battletech mechanical designers from the anime industry influencing the west
World Rally Fever from 1996 is the earliest I can think of.
>>12146037Whose the blonde?
>>12144828This is the truth. Even Star Trek was chock full of 80s anime references and on the flip side 80s anime was full of Star Trek references. Old school nerds transcend borders and subtitles. I miss the old anime fandom, it honestly started going to shit once Toonami happened.
>>12146364oc from some filipino weeb
>>12145820>Ghost in the Shell remains one of the only anime worth watchingFor it's visuals and soundtrack sure. As a narrative-driven film? Hell no.
>>12145820You mean Blade Runner? Because Ghost in the Shell is just a ripoff of Blade Runner. They literally steal the Voight-Kampff test shot for shot.
>>12143689And now everything is converging (or has converged) into this homogenous anime-blended style that a HUGE chunk of media has.We'll never get Western takes on Japanese games or Japanese takes on Western games again.
>>12146662Prove it.
America invented anime as an artstyle. I could prove it but jannies won't let me because "off topic".
>>12147085Pretty sure it Australian
>>12147197Based
>>12142931>weebs think Akira invented industrial elevators
>>12147442Capcom and Konami did
>>12146037what is she doing!? why are cool anime style characters always doing dynamic foreshortened poses and trying to grab me?
90s in a post Akira west, and then expanded into the late 90s and early 2000s in a post Pokemon and other shit west.
>>12142931Waiting on Oni 2 (PS5)
>>12146731No it hasn't...Why are you pushing this blatant falsehood? FYI, Netflix cartoons are not "everything" or "a huge chunk of media".
>>12148491Blatant falsehood? You fucking nigger zoomer, look at 90s and 00s and how wildly different animations styles are compared to now where it's conforming to caltech and generic anime styles.
>>12142931Notice how this art looks way more original than the bland gook shit you get today
>>12148828The bar must be very low because Oni was just ripping off Ghost in the Shell.
>>12148485What would it even look like?
Oni could have been good if not for the fact that it did tank controls in the worst way (like Bubsy 3D).
>>12148834Well I guess original wasn't the right word for it. But now it all looks the same to me.
>>12148834Prove it.
>>12148838truth at 30 frames per second, enjoy the slop art btwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du8JepLM-lI
>>12148828It looks like how to draw anime shit. But I guess you zoomers wouldn't know about that.
>>12148835Like shit
>>12148962Exactly how?>>12148839Why is she a five here.
>>12148796>conforming to caltech and generic anime stylesSouth Park, Smiling Friends, Rick and Morty, and Hazbin Hotel have zero anime style or animation, and they are the most popular Western animated shows right now. The fuck are you on about?
>>12149053>How?You just know.
>>12148828I wouldn't call it original at all, but I like it in a cheesy, nostalgic sort of way. It just looks like 90s anime to me.I will say, older anime styles tend to be more detailed, and that's probably the part that impresses you.
>>12143689This. Weebs on this board, and all boards, are delusional.
>>12149569You're free to leave this weeb website any time.
>>12146662It's way more of a ripoff of William Gibson's work.
>>12149057South Park was made in the 90s, rick and morty, which is dogshit now, has it's roots in 00s crude flash animation and so does smiling friends. Never watched hazbin hotel which looks like faggotry and is clearly influenced by anime.Adventure time, steven universe, gravity falls, hilda, etc all have the bean mouth look with anime influences.Castlevania, blood of zeus, terminator zero, etc all have that homogenized anime look.Hell, the bad guys 2 has anime influences.Retarded zoomer, just for thinking that south park was created now means you should kill yourself.
