Ok, seriously. Take a look at how Kouichirou Taninami of Capcom has 're-envisioned' CS for the Japanese audience. I don't know what's scarier: whether someone gets paid for warping a game so far beyond its essence, or whether people will want to play it.

I'm sorry but, I see no issues. If they want to edit it to "feel" more Japanese, I say go for it.

It isn't as if the Japanese do not have their own version of a counter-strike outfit in their military so its only a given that they would want an oriental version of a popular genre.

HLDM wasn't designed to be played in a box yet it has, so if they want to refine the CS game to appeal to the Japanese public I see no reason why they cannot.

Apparantly Japanese are quite different gamers. They don't seem to like 'our' CS just as we don't like 'theirs'.

Well, definitely a good example that stresses the importance of knowing your public. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

It's fine that they wanted their own version of it. That's business. But it's not Counter-Strike. CS is all about gritty, realistic, modern combat. You don't give the characters a gay anime makeover AND remove the "anti-terrorism angle" and still call it CS. Even single-player missions and mini-games only deviate more from the simplicity of the game. I'm all for the Japanese playing a round-based team dm game, but come on. Artistic integrity just doesn't occur to some people, I guess.

The point of gaming is fun. Even I admit that much. I absolutely hate killboxes and will ridicule one at every turn, but I wouldn't remove the option of being permitted to make and/or play one. Thats just insane.

If the Japanese want a watered down version, who's to say its watered down?

I dunno. I am not omnipresent but, if its enjoyable to them they should be able to do so.

I have seen nearly every country you can name online, but never an oriental. Tells you something. They are the creators of many a titles and yet, we never see them.

Bottomline. The can play it with blow darts and tutu's if thats their idea of CS.

that's kinda weird, i dunno what i would think if i were to see that
it's interesting though that the korean exchange student at my school says that everyone in Asia plays CS it seems
but whatever it's not really a big deal to me

Actually, spitwads and cheerleading uniforms would be awesome. like a HighSchool edition of CS. And the chickens would be nerds.

YEAH!!! it'd be like an airstrike, you set the "kickme" sign and then after a second a barrage of bullies comes out and kicks them and then runs off really fast!!!

And there could be like a Crips vs Bloods CS game too!!

I think the problem is that they're calling it CS but it's not. That would be like calling HL2 Super Mario Bros simply because Dog's model was repclaced with Luigi.

Spartan, don't be silly, DOG's model would be replaced with YOSHI and Alyx would be the princess, and barney is Luigi. *sigh*

So, would the game encompass all the kingdom's or just the mushroom kingdom?

well half-life, with it's trek into Xen, would have more than one kingdom, but HL2 really only uses one...

So who is the blowtorch-hands/shockwave stompy guy in HL? and who is the 3-tentacle thing?
