Really reminiscent of those old magazine ads. I love it.

    The source for this is Konami’s instagram and twitter pages. I’d link them, but honestly, the comments on both made me kind of depressed so I’m not going to subject you all to that. Seriously what is happening to the internet?

      I’m assuming it was racism?

      Instagram, by being an open septic tank like Facebook, lets all the bottom-feeding keyboard warriors wriggle freely in a way and a density I don’t interact with in many other spaces.

        That was definitely a big part of it. I assume all the overt racism got deleted before I got there, but lots of dog whistles and bitching about the game being “woke” remained.

        But then there were also a ton of people complaining that it’s not coming to xbox on launch, or whining that Konami was posting promotional materials at all because they wanted to go in blind. Twitter was actually a little better, somehow, but still had more than enough whining along the same lines, PLUS the top reply was a bluecheck account with an AI generated profile pic saying this:

        I’m very excited by Townfall. But as a girl gamer : PLEASE be as philosophical as Silent Hill 2. 🧡

        This was your best formula, I wish it comes back

        Like, what?
