Japanese Black Ops Launch Much Cuter Than In West

[JUMBO PALACE]

I am digging those boots hardcore.

Good to see Akebono's still getting work.

Why is there a British flag on her uniform in Picture 3? The British don't even play a major role in the game!

I also found this as well on her suit as well

you can see it in the 1st picture.

Umm... why is that on a female's soldier unifo-

Wait, why am I questioning randomness from JAPAN?

 

[Konaerix]

oh Japan, please dont ever change.

Though Japan has never been considered a rich market for shooting games...

That's an understatement. Even high-profile FPS titles are lucky to sell over 50,000 copies.

Having said that, Modern Warfare 2 did suprisingly well in Japan. As such, Black Ops might do the same.

It's fascinating how charicaturized the East and West have become in terms of game development...Japanese games are almost universally full of androgynous, sputtering, cheerful protagonists, and Western games are almost universally full of musclebound, growling, broody protagonists.

As much distaste as I have for anime and JRPGs, I can't help but acknowledge that our own stereotypes must look just as absurd and undesirable in Japan.

Somebody give this man a medal!

OT: This is to be expected. Product X + Cute Girl Y = Money in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if this COD actually sold decently because of this.

After reading the title I was expecting something much worse. This was actually tasteful.

Yet if you look at the difference in other aspects it's the opposite. The American military for example is frequently shown to be somewhat light-hearted as though all the troops are frat brothers and the Japanese are shown to be overly stern and strict.

Using television and film as an example here.

Because we want to see a human face on our heroes in real life whereas they want to see a man-machine who will do what is right and proper no matter what. And in our fiction we tend to go for the exact opposite of what we want in real life... Humans are just messed up that way.

Same here.

I've seen pictures of the girl in combat gear here and there but hadn't seen the other one yet. What up? That look with the boots, shorts and beret is a lot better than fake combat gear. Both from a sexiness AND style perspective.

British flag + 9-11 memorial patch + Steyr Aug doesn't add up.
Plus, that's modern gear she's wearing and Black-Ops is set in the past is it not?
Ah whatever...

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Judging by the way MW2 performed in Japan, I doubt Black Ops will do much better.

 

[Aethren]

I am shocked and appalled that they would try to use sex appeal to sell a completely unsexual game.

I for one won't put up with this, I'm going to contact the Sumo activists and get this article flagged as degrading to the Sumo Wrestler's Association.

It ain't Japan until a woman dresses up in a slutty version of whatever you're promoting

hey, wish they would to that here, lol XD
those costumes are fun XD
