A few years ago I went to a big stadium and watched this old Japanese guy play retro video games. It was awesome, especially cheering him on while he played Punch Out. How come stuff like this isn't more common? Clearly there's an audience for it.
>>12509837GCCX is older than zoomers you retard
Because no one outside of weirdos really give a shit about retro vidya in the states... but then again, you have pretty decent audiences for some random guy in a dress speedrunning a game.
>>12510052they want him to stop though
>>12509884which is why your thread is no revelation to anyone here. tons of western retro gaming shows lean too heavily on radicool xtreme presentation or do yet another angry nerd schtick so they struggle to gain the kind of audience you get with nationally funded television shows that have run for over two decades.
>>12509760>react content, youtubers >:(>react content, japan :OOOOOOOOO
So... Is this the GCCX thread?
>>12509760ngl that does sound fun.
>>12510359Sounds a bit lame to me. I love video games but I'd be so bored watching some random person playing it on stage. I'd rather play or watch a friend play
>>12510341seems like itsometimes arino is the demonstration in advertisements that sucks on purpose
Arino's Live Challenge Seven-Game Revenge at Makuhari Messe (Extended Special Edition) subs when?Also watch Märchen Maze.https://nyaa.si/view/2057499https://nyaa.si/view/2059329
>>12509760>You were at Saitama in person.Awesome, did you know what he was saying, or just soaked it in?To answer your question, GCCX wouldn't work in America because Arino is very much a lightening in a bottle sitution where it was the perfect person, with a perfect crew to run the show.The closest we got was Clueless Gamer, but that just turned into Conan O'Brien hangs out with his celebrity friends with video games as the afterthought. Also running a quick test with this post.
>>12510314>nationally fundedFuji TV is a private company, and GCCX airs on the subscription based version.>>12510318It's not react content.
>>12510603I'm fluent in Japanese
>>12510603It could never work in the US because retro vidya is a niche as shit audience, people would rather see pros play current esports shit. You're basically competing with that and random people on twitch.But sure, no one's stopping you from making a youtube channel where you do an American GCCX on a smaller scale, including going to local gameshops and barcades, just be prepared for it being a money and/or time sink with little to no return.
>>12510671>It's not react content.yes it is. you're watching a guy give live commentary on playing a game. you just want to pretend it's different because "japan :OOO"
>>12510671>I'm in denial
>>12510671You failed
>>12510796No, you retard, react content is when someone sits down and watches someone else's content, and for a video or stream of their own.
>>12510796>>12510817>>12510818Why did you reply 3 times?
>>12510859he's reacting to playing the game. it is fundamentally no different from watching a twitch streamer play a game. again, you just want to think it's different because you're a braindead weeb faggot
>>12511661No, you inbred nigger, you literally don't know what the phrase "react content" means.Let's Plays aren't react content by definition because it's you recording/streaming yourself playing the game, it's first party. To make it react content, someone else would need to record/stream themselves watching your content, and then uploading that as their content for their audience.It's a passive and second hand kind of content where someone piggybacks on someone else's gameplay footage, or someone else's video presentation.This has nothing to do with Japs and weebery, it applies just the same to western content. It outright comes from modern western live streaming culture, where react content is used in a derogatory manner to describe when streamers are too lazy to actually stream themselves, and instead puts on someone else's content for their own audience while only interacting passively with it.
