The best and most important gaming news of November

Let's hope it appears on Vita and other platforms this time too

Very happy to hear the first game sold enough to warrant a sequel, this shows that there are still people out there with some taste

Y'know, back in the 90s nobody would give a damn if a videogame had anthropomorphic characters.

Personally, I'm pretty excited about this news. Solatorobo is one of my favorite DS titles. Hopefully they'll improve on the gameplay and add more free-roaming mechanics.

Yeah it has furries. So has Star Fox. As far as I know it is not a creepy furry fetish game though.

yay new ./hack :)

Anthropomorphic characters don't bother me, I've grown up with and still love Disney cartoons for God's sake. What bothers me is the high level of sexualization in case of many (if not most) Japanese franchises. To me it's just uncanny.

Never played the original, although I might pick it up sometime later since I want to expand my DS library (which I gave up years ago to my nephew). And a new ./hack? Ok.

;_;

Yeah, that does get pretty creepy. It doesn't help that the furry fandom helped to create this gigantic stigma against anthropomorphized characters in general.
Still, if you can get past that, it's a pretty damn great game.

For me, it's not about specifically furries, I just hate implausibility for implausibility's sake. I love Watership Down. I absolutely adore Once Upon a Forest; one of my earliest childhood memories was watching it on stolen cable with the connection breaking during what later was found to be the last several minutes of the movie. I loved it so much that more than ten years later, one of the first things I did on the internet was going to imdb and asking to identify it (the other two bright TV-related impressions were left by Quatermass and the Pit and a horror anime I still have to track down). I loved Rescue Rangers, too.

But I never got that search-and-replace humans with animals thing, I have always found it dehumanizing, condescending and patronizing, long before I could articulate what "condescending" means and long before I discovered that, surprise surprise, liking cartoon animals does not correlate to liking porn. I do not object to all-furry art existing, it's just something that, along with pseudohistorical strategies and the main arc of Planescape:Torment, I will never ever enjoy.

This.

With more screaming.

Wow, I had no idea some people here had such an immature and negative attitude

What a shame Name me one thing that's "Sexualized" in Solatorobo Well yeah, the first game was sometimes too easy and generally there wasn't much in it in terms of actual gameplay but in terms of other things it was very well done

I really hope that with the sequel they expand and make everything better, especially when there's a possibility that the game might come to other platforms, Vita? PSN? Dare I say it...PC?

Immature? Really? Look who's talking. Name one well-known work of art with anthropomorphic animals that isn't popularly acknowledged to be "kiddie stuff" except Maus. Even the ponies walk on all fours.
