>Senran Kagura creator Kenichiro Takaki, formerly of Marvelous, has officially started work at the Cygames as the general manager of its Console Games Division, and is underway on an action game with Senran Kagura character designer Nan Yaegashi, the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals.
So we can say that in the end this dude came out on top out of this whole thing right?
Also more granblue console game news soon

>So we can say that in the end this dude came out on top out of this whole thing right?
He gets Cygames money, so yeah. Although he still had to see his franchise killed by censorship and was forced to move away from lewd games.
>Cygames wants to become the "best studio in the world"
>puts a kusoge developer in charge of their console games division
Takaki won, Cygames lost
Senran was popular enough despite having the budget of a ham sandwich. Let’s see what he does with fat stacks of Cygames money.
As well as current Yaegashi Nan on the art, with his ugly poses, bad proportions, excessive creases and chipmunk teeth.
Senran was popular because of tits, the first game was just an excuse to use the 3DS for 3D titties. His new game?
>It is not supposed to be a “sexy” game though. (The magazine includes the reveal of a male character.) It might have sexy elements in the end, but they want to include more male characters than female characters.
Dead on arrival unless Cygames bribes their playerbase with GBF items
On the plus side its the two of them working together. Nan as a character designer is amazing and if we don't get more Senrans something on par with Evenicle and Senran designs as a whole would be nice as fuck.
On the downside, no more Senran streams that are too hot for Youtube. Takaki had so much fun with those. All I hope is Hitomi Harada ends up voicing someone and they do more streams because she had so much fun during the biyearly Senran Kagura streams.
Maybe with CyGames money they'll be able to make each girl have a unique model.
>using gacha money to make REAL games instead of to just line their pockets
>protecting Takaki's hope & optimism
holy shit Cygames is continuing to become the best boys in the industry
>A big announcement is planned for Granblue Fantasy: Versus soon. Cygames is also planning on including paper manuals in the physical release.
>Cygames’ game engine is developed in-house. The company does not hesitate to use money on things like that.
Amazing
>in the end, but they want to include more male characters than female characters
So instead of releasing Senran games on PC and the Switch, Takaki drops everything and does this shit, sponsored by a fucking mobage dev.
The dream is dead after all.
It was fine when Cygames kept to their mobile games, but now it seems like they want the gamer audience. It's becoming problematic.
the "real" games are just promos for their gacha
do not support these companies in any way
The first game was the only good game though. The series shit itself when it suddenly decided to abandon the beat 'em up genre. I never bought it for tits, I bought it because I'm a whore for anything that even vaguely resembles Double Dragon. 30 bucks well spent imo. Deep Crimson was trash and the other games are just musou Rio-offs. Boring.
>Draphs appear in actual videogames, not just gacha
>it's somehow problematic
lmao what? do you have a problem with pic related? are you a transphobe? have sex incel
stop slandering my wives you fucking retard
they are both straight and they are both for me
b-but the fighting game has ASW talent behind it, and they say it'll be like SF2 but anime
and the action rpg is gonna have a bajillion playable characters, so you don't need the gacha at all
Their anime branch is pretty based too for the most part.
>More male characters == bad
user. Think about this. What if there's an equal split of male and female characters like for example Evenicle 1's cast. Imagine a game on par with Evenicle's designs and character personalities but instead of an RPG its an action game.
this
If anything they're way too dedicated to making good shit it's weird-ing people out since they're actually trying instead of fleecing people of their money to pocket it.
I'm ready for the tranny shitstorm if they have the balls to put Ladiva and Cag's cross fate episode in the game.
Oh shit is it happenings bros?
i love big tiddy ninjas, but the senran kagura games were always shit
awful gameplay
awful animations
awful graphics
the tits looked like balloons, instead of well shaped big tits
>always shit
even the 3ds sidescroller games?
Not until they make Manaria Friends S2 with the sleepover they promised, and in every episode.
Please pump more GBFV into my veins
Release my 3D Percival and the release date
Every single anime they've made was garbage for faggots. They do not have a single talented director.
I remember only one male character of note in Evenicle, the protagonist. It was an eroge after all. But what Takaki is saying sounds more like an average videogame.
Why even invite Nan Yaegashi if it's not gonna be pure titty moe? Moe is his forte, he doesn't do anything else.
good for him. The best thing about this is that the old senran games are soo weak technically it can only be a pleasant surprise.
>Not remembering based big bro Acheval
Ramius' bro was a solid character and total bro.
he has experience and cygames wants to diversify
everyone wins
tried one of the senran games and was not impressed
hope this won't mean console cygames shit will be shit
Maybe, I don't remember a lot of stuff from that game.
Still, that quote is saying
>It is not supposed to be a “sexy” game though
Evenicle is as sexy as these games come. So we should not expect anything like that, I don't think they'll even do destructible clothes. That's why I don't understand why they bothered to call Yaegashi Nan. It's like hiring Raita for a game that only has lolis - he can do it, sure, but that's not what he's famous for, and there are better artists for that particular job.
At this point, I just hope that Takaki's love of tits is stronger than his common sense, and we'll still get some big tiddy action after all.
Considering the programming was done by Tamsoft who while not irrideemable trash aren't the best at making complex action games(way too much button mashing, they make a fun musou though) Takaki seems to be working with an internal team at CyGames so as long CyGames made a focus on hiring people that are fitting for game development the games mechanics wise should be pretty good.
Is it just me, or is his right arm really off looking.
>watered down tiddy sengoku basara
went from platinum"all their games are the same"games and arc"fun for everyone, casuals and "veterans""sys to this guy, that's just swell
break a leg cykagames
2 was fun for me too. I don't regret it. I only regret buying SV and that was the last spin off I ever bought. All of the spin offs are SHITTTT.
You need to remember what sexy game means in Japan. It doesn't mean sex appeal it means actual hard ecchi content. Of course Evenicle being porn is a sexy game but the designs are solid and could easily get a CERO C as is. The porn(eroge wise) or groping and stripping and finishers are what make Senran a "sexy game" You'll still have sexy designs, it's Nan's specialty. You just won't have stripping and lots of ecchi fanservice.
>Leave marvelous and xsneed
>work on big things
Hmm
Case in point look at these designs for this CERO B rated game(it ended up being trash gameplay wise but that's not the point here).
compileheart.com
compileheart.com
This was allowed in titles rated for ages 12 and up. They'll still be sexy.
Another CERO B to drive the point home
compileheart.com
Cymoney baby.
I hope so. I need more cute girls right now, so we'll see what Takaki and Nan make now that they have an actual budget.
I fucking hate Sony so damn much now. I fucking hate them.
>I remember only one male character of note in Evenicle, the protagonist. It was an eroge after all.
Did you not finish the game or something? How could you not remember the pope, the prince, and Ramius's brother?
I mean I posted 3 examples of games rated CERO B that all had very sexy designs. All it means by "sexy game" is heavy fanservice and ecchi content. For a more obvious example. Battle Shonen licensed games aren't considered sexy games. But then look at the designs for characters in BnHA or Naruto or OPM they have prime fapbait characters, they aren't sexy series like say Senran Kagura or Valkyrie Drive would be BUT they do have sex appeal. Or are you saying you don't bust fat nuts to those girls?
You will be getting better games now because of them
The medicine was hard to swallow but it's for the better of the Japanese game industry
>You will be getting better games now because of them
Bullshit. Erotic content does not detract from gameplay and you'd be a fool to think the addition of erotic content would somehow hamper the development of other aspects of the games.
hope the game is for pc and switch. Fuck Sony.
The line you want is
>good medicine tastes bad
Also top keks at Retardera
>We beat Takaki take that Incels
And Takaki now runs CyGames console division. Happy boob man wins in the end.
>with Senran Kagura character designer Nan Yaegashi
Damn, it almost had promise.
I agree, but if gameplay really is the most important thing (as it should be) then whether or not it has erotic stuff in it is irrelevant as long as the gameplay keeps improving.
I think what he's trying to imply is that Takaki left Marvelous because of Sony and now runs the CyGames console game division with CyGames fuck you money powering him. The Senrans were a necessary sacrifice to make wrapping the world in Happy Boobs a much more achievable task besides, Nan's been drawing Senrans so long even his porn game character designs had Senran look-a-likes. Otherwise he's a bitch ass nigger faggot who should get a knife and put it through his throat for being a censorship apologist.
>Takaki’s newest game is an action game with character designer Nan Yaegashi. It is not supposed to be a “sexy” game though. (The magazine includes the reveal of a male character.) It might have sexy elements in the end, but they want to include more male characters than female characters.
Refer to the following posts about what sexy game means and what can be in a "non-sexy game"
It should be clear by now that Takaki was waiting for the opportunity to quit the series and take a better position at Cygames
And since he retains producer credit for Senran, ther's really nothing to be sad or angray about. The guy is getting a better paycheck while still overseeing his boob game and fans are upset for some reason
I want both though.
It's because people didn't realise that Takaki had moved to CyGames especially such a high ranking position or that he and Nan were working on a new project with actual money. Having CyGames fuck you money also makes things better for him. All this stuff is new info that at the time we didn't know and were justifiably angry and worried about. Now we know that's not the case and Happy Boob Man can continue spreading his loving message to the world at large.
Why are you ignoring the part where he said he's not going to make lewd games anymore?
Marvelous make wonderful games, and Sony can absolutely suck it for severely hurting them.
>his new project isn't lewd
Doesn't mean he can't or won't. It just means this new project isn't lewd and even then it just means no heavy ecchi content, the girls' designs are still going to cause retards to reee about boobs. I highly doubt he's stopping forever. The man is dedicated to his cause. He may take a small break but if you mean to have me believe THIS GUY won't make more sexy and lewd games, you are sorely mistaken.
I am a genuine porn addict, but honestly, Nan's art tend to leave me fantasizing about lovingly hugging and cuddling the girls, more than fucking them. Which is unusual for me, but there is just something about his art.
I don't dislike it, but it's odd.
RIP.
If only Cygames moved away from snoystation and to pc instead.
Cygames hasn't released anything on Playstation though
They intend on releasing on PS4 first, and PC as an afterthought.
Just seems like a bad idea all around.
Senran Kagura came out before the whole issue about women in gmaing blew up. By that point people had just accepted that it was a creepy series and didn't give it much thought even with new installments.
With a new game it's just gonna get really bad press from the get go.
Sony is paying for marketing the games. Re:Link and Project Awakening were revealed at last years's Sony TGS conf
The weird part is to release them now instead of waiting for next-gen, the new console will need Japanese support and those IP may drive Jap and Asian people to move towards PS5
Why would a Japanese company start making RPGs or action games on PC only? Its not only smarter but just easier to build for PS4 which has a big japanese and global audience and then just port to PC
>creepy
I'm fine if they say it's distasteful or degenerate, but I sometimes wonder if people just have terrible vocabularies and can't express their viewpoint precisely while just latching on to the word, or actually think that a game catered to men with sexy girls is creepy.
I can say from my short time in game dev college. They seriously do. You think the people who seriously act like fiction is the same as reality are a meme, you're don't even know. The number of chicks clearly jealous of the Sorceress, the number of men agreeing like little cucks. The number of faggot teachers praising Gone Homo. It was a fucking waste of time but I learned how to write a document properly. I already had the skills but trying to convince parents that you can do the work without a degree is fucking shit. It was the fucking worst shit ever with people who seriously think big boobs are creepy because they aren't realistic(said by Jabba's long lost cousin's or trannies every single time).
They are sad, sad people who actively hate fun.
I mean it's about ogling highschool girls in skimpy clothing with some subpar combat. Plus there's the whole groping and putting your hands on the girls in reflexion I don't think it's an issue of "thots be jealous"
>I don't think it's an issue of "thots be jealous"
It actually is. They say it isn't but the words they use and the tone of voice when they say it gives them away. Also it's always fatties or trannies, the cuter girls say nothing about the busty cuties in games.
Does this look like a high school girl to you?
No, but it does look like something terribly insecure women (aka the only kind of women working in this industry) would be jealous of.
>aka the only kind of women working in this industry
FUCK YOU user. You forgot to put this only counts in the West. Japanese women like the cute and sexy girls.
>He doesn't know.
Women are petty.
Yeah, I thought about it after making the post. Japanese women make cute female characters, Japanese men make cute male characters, and everybody is happy. This kind of balance doesn't exist in the West, where women are far more jealous of everything for some reason. Maybe it comes down to the sense of entitlement that our women usually have in spades because entitlement breeds insecurity.
fuck snoy
It didn't come out before that issue, there was a MASSIVE fallout over the first game getting a Western release, which was kickstarted by a hitpiece published by the UK Official Nintendo Magazine on their website shortly before the game came out.
3D is PD
>cuter girls say nothing about the busty cuties in games.
That sounds like a good pick-up line.
Absolutely
This, Japanese women are responsible for a not insignificant part of the lewd anime girls we know. Also several of my favorite loli and imouto artists are women.
You do realize bad press wasn't even the main problem of the series right? Most people, even SJWs, accepted that it was just another weebshit series and moved on to other bigger things to complain about. They were still doing ok churning out the same cheap lewd games for their fans up until Sony decided to take shit to 11 and started the censorship iron grip.
I just hope Cygames doesn't end up like Gungho. Though with the amount of dosh they make in multi media I don't think they will.
Case in point, Switch is full of lewd games and there's zero outrage about it. Steam now has porn and even that gets a pass aside from lolige.
>Steam now has porn and even that gets a pass aside from lolige.
Not true, it gets a pass as long as it isn't anime. Anime is under extreme scrutiny, to the point where any assets related to schools are being removed to allow the game on steam.
But what if the erotic content is also part of the whole package? I get what you are saying. I won't like it, but I can understand if a fanservice costume or something like that is removed from a game that isn't mainly about lewd stuff. I won't like it, but I can live with it. If a game is made with the intention of showcasing the erotic content then what's the point of it all when said content is removed?
No his games will keep getting censored by snoy and he will get btfo once again
And if they don't?
