Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Japan's star game makers have their own unique personalities, and many labels have become synonymous with them.

When it comes to "kindness and friendliness," people will think of Hideko Miyazaki; when it comes to chasing stars with public money, he is undoubtedly Hideo Kojima; and if it is mentioned that he is open-mouthed, it must also be the god of "ghost crying" and "angel witch hunting."

As we all know, Shengu is a heavy Twitter user, posting dozens or even hundreds of tweets a day, extremely happy to share his life and thoughts, and is as active as the former president of the United States.

And most of these tweets are not nutritious, in addition to daily "draw a lucky netizen to scold", but also include the major game manufacturers "equal shooting". In his eyes, fans who ask questions everywhere are "a bunch of worms", while manufacturers who do not make games to his satisfaction are "incompetent losers".

For example, Shengu Hideki once said when Kolomi invested in NFT: "as long as you smell money, Kolomi will appear immediately." Sony also sprayed that the exchange of PS5 cancellation and confirmation keys was too arrogant and had no respect for players at all. For their own gold director heaven is also want to spray, never show mercy under the mouth.

In these more than ten years of "network sprinkler" career, Shengu Yingshu gained a lot of fans, and naturally set up countless enemies. People who like him think that he is outspoken and approachable, first of all, a player who can blend in with netizens, and secondly, a game producer wearing a halo. And people who hate him are always waiting for him to eat, ready to have a "full of martial arts" spray with him.

Just a few days ago, this opportunity came.

1 things started with this year's TGA.

On TGA 2022, Platinum Studios unveiled a new game under development, Origin of Angel Hunting: Theresa and the lost Devil, which is scheduled to be launched in March next year and will be exclusively owned by Nintendo Switch.

"Origin of the Devil Girl", players can operate the young protagonist Bayonita, risk talking about "hunting angel witch" in a forest full of mysteries. The hardships on the road of development are obvious to all, and once experienced a change of ownership and dystocia. The third movie was finally released this year. And this time, "the Origin of the Magic woman" is the first derivative work in the series for many years. Shengu Yingshu, as the original director, naturally could not hide his joy and tweeted happily:

"I'm so excited to finally announce the Origin of the Magic Girl. This is a work that our team has devoted to love and persistence. Please be sure to play and have a look."

Fans were also surprised that platinum would be able to announce a new series soon after the release of Angel Hunter 3. At the same time, everyone is very happy, after all, this is a work that can understand the story of Sister Bei's childhood, and its unique ink painting style is easily reminiscent of the "Great God" made by Shengu Yingshu many years ago.

The "god", who was highly praised by the media and fans, became a regret in the hearts of many fans, but neither side was happy for too long. Shengu Yingshu's new tweet came: "Lord odnetniN sent an email saying," Let the poisonous quail keep a good mouth, and don't reveal the content without paying attention. "

While the tweet may seem encrypted, it's kindergarten-level, and fans know it's not the first time Kamiya Hideki has called Nintendo a "odnetniN" when he vents his grievances. And poisonous quail is the nickname of Shengu, this bird is famous for its loud and magical sound.

In the face of this named email, Shengu Yingshu felt aggrieved: "if they have carefully read my 'well-behaved' Twitter, they will know that I simply can not make that kind of small mistake, when can they trust me?"

How dare you expose yourself after being named and warned by Nintendo? Now the netizens who have been rubbing their hands have finally seized the opportunity and began to assemble and rush the tower quickly.

Someone immediately left a sharp reply: "do you think you have any trust when you post this email?"

Someone compiled a record of Shengu Yingshu's "slip of the tongue" overnight and opened it to see that it was all bad things he had said about Nintendo in recent years, including, but not limited to, the following:

"it's on sale recently, so I bought some games on eShop. But it's hard to use like shit. Ask Tang Tianren's own staff union TM to buy things on this eShop, and whether he only cares about selling Switch, no matter how hard it is to use it."

"if Mr. Tang Tian Ren is free to sell a new Switch, why not use your leading industry brains to optimize the shit-like main interface a little bit? put down your posture and add a sorting function to it, incompetent waste."

Although the words are a little extreme, in fact, it is not difficult to see that these opinions are entirely from the player's point of view, it can be said that Shengu Yingshu is so strict because he loves the game. The reason for spraying the Switch main interface is that he buys more games, and there is no classification function in the main interface, which makes it very inconvenient to browse.

However, the netizens who came to Chongta did not care. After reading this foul-mouthed record, more netizens flocked to Shengu Yingshu's Twitter, constantly pressing his head to recall his "black history" over and over again to ask him to reply.

In the past, when interfacing with netizens, Kamiya would use his three stunts: "silly X cerebral palsy bug" (opening greetings), "Ask your mom" (proposing a solution), and "Blocked" (warm farewell). However, after being banned for personal attack, he profoundly "reflected" himself and became more elegant and easygoing.

"even if you are an idiot with cerebral palsy, you still have half the soul in your heart, so I will try my best to correct my conduct and scold people properly." now he has greatly simplified this step, leaving only a faint "disappear, bug." several new guests have been added to the already overcrowded blacklist.

In 2019, a Youtube blogger met Kamiya Hideki at the exhibition and asked him about the number of people blacklisted on his Twitter account. Two days later, he reprinted the smelly record and put an end to the farce: "although my words are not compliments, I have never been warned by Nintendo for these things." I'm not saying I'm completely right, it's just that I'm telling the truth. Some people can't understand the fun of my tweets, it's their own problem, but I still have to live with them due to the limitations of the earth. "

Shengu Yingshu declared his victory on his own. After all, under the new round of "Block" offensive, the opponent was no longer able to fight.

Just like this is not the first time that Kamiya Hideki has called Nintendo his destiny, in fact, it is not the first time that an adult has sent an email to hit Kamiya Hideki.

As early as 2019, before the release of "alien chains", Platinum Studio also received an email from Lord Tianren: "Don't let the poisonous quails on your side leak information."

At that time, Shengu Yingshu also felt aggrieved: "they have already cooperated with Angel Hunter 2 and Magic 101, and it is too sad to trust me so much."

So why is Nintendo so distrustful of Shenggu Yingshu?

It's really because Kamiya Hideki himself likes to tell stories everywhere.

On the occasion of the first anniversary of the launch of "alien chain", Shengu sent a tweet with only five simple words: "alien chain 2". Although he quickly deleted the tweet, it caused an uproar, with many speculating that it implied that "Alien chain 2" was already under development. But in fact, so far, Nintendo has not confirmed any news of "alien chain 2".

This year, Shengu Yingshu scored twice and tweeted: "Hunting Angel Witch 3". Then immediately explained in the comment, "Oh, I don't know why, I just suddenly want to say the title, I'm sorry." Although Angel Hunt 3 was actually released later, it was this kind of leak that Nintendo couldn't stand.

In addition, in addition to these small fights on Twitter, Shengu Yingshu can be said to have a real "criminal record" when he was still working in Capcom.

In 2003, Shengu Yingshu, who also worked in the four-leaf clover studio in Capcom, made a game called "Red Man Joey". As a horizontal version of the customs clearance game, "Red Joy" creatively combines cartoon performance with special photography elements, with smooth action, gorgeous special effects, both picture beauty and playability, and has won a lot of praise as soon as it is released.

"Joey the Red" and many other derivative works, such as animations and comics, were the exclusive works of Nintendo GameCube at the beginning of their release, and it is precisely because of the existence of this work that the less successful mainframe of this generation of Nintendo has become a bright color in the memories of many people.

Nintendo GameCube, commonly known as NGC, but as soon as the new version of Red Joey, Red Joey Revival, was announced that it would continue to be monopolized by NGC, there were rumors that Red Joey would be launched on the PS2 platform.

It can be said that at that time, the mainstream Japanese home game console market was completely dominated by PS2. From the launch to the complete suspension of production, the NGC has only sold more than 20 million units worldwide, and local sales in Japan are as low as 4 million. In total, the PS2 sold more than 150 million units, making it the most brilliant mainframe in Sony's history.

Of course, players want to play on the existing PS2 rather than buying another NGC for "Red Joey", so the story that "Red Joey" will log on to PS2 soon spread all over the major game forums in Japan and was buzzing for a moment.

Years later, Shengu recalled his worst leak on Twitter, and the "man behind it" finally surfaced.

"I chatted with players at TGS for a while and told them that Red Joey was already developing a PS2 version, and somehow it spread online. Then I went to Nintendo to apologize and told them frankly that the prisoner was me."

However, Nintendo did not blame Goddess Gu Yingshu too much. In Shengu's own words, "Nintendo doesn't want to have too much to do with fools." But it seems that after this incident, Shengu Hideki has never been trusted by Nintendo again.

However, in the final analysis, Shengu Yingshu is grateful to Nintendo, and he has publicly expressed these feelings more than once.

Before the release of "Angel Hunter 3", Shengu Yingshu posted 15 tweets about the past, saying that "Angel Hunter 2" had been suspended because of Sega's problems and was grateful to Nintendo for providing follow-up funding. "without their funding, we may never be able to start the Angel Hunter series again."

Later, in an interview with Fami, Kamiya even said: "it is no exaggeration to say that I will never forget the great kindness of Nintendo in my life."

When some players asked whether the performance of the game was limited because of Nintendo's intervention, he also tried his best to show his maintenance of Nintendo: "this is not the case." Nintendo has given full support to what we want to create and present, and has never meant to interfere in the content of the game. "

The contrast effect before and after the opening of "hunting angel witch 3" and "innocent angel mode" may be precisely this kind of clear praise and criticism, frank and true attitude, which makes people who hate him feel that he looks like a folly, but it also makes people who like him feel interesting. after all, the most valuable thing on the Internet today is truth.

And Shengu Yingshu never mind showing his true feelings in front of netizens.

In 2017, when Microsoft announced the end of the "dragon scale avatar" developed in cooperation with platinum, Shengu Yingshu was uncharacteristic. in the face of the collapse of a big project that he had spent four years on, he did not speak angrily, but sent three consecutive tweets of apology to reassure players.

"I'm sorry to bring you bad news at the beginning of the year, but I will redouble my efforts in the future to ensure that I will never let you down again. I just hope you will continue to follow us in the future."

As a result, he unexpectedly gained a lot of comfort.

I thought I would receive a lot of abuse, but I didn't expect to receive a lot of warm news. Thank you ('; -;') although Platinum later admitted that the responsibility for canceling the project came from both sides, the impact on platinum as an independent studio was far greater than that on a powerful giant like Microsoft. Fortunately, shortly after the cancellation of the Dragon scale Avatar, the release of Neil: the Mechanical Age became the focus of the game circle that year.

The big seller of "Neil: mechanical Age" saved Platinum Studio from danger, while Kamiya Hideki alone carried the pot that almost led to the company's financial crisis, and lamented that Yoko Taro saved the platinum.

Although he is usually open-mouthed, he is sincere enough to admit his mistake when he apologizes, never concealing his true thoughts, which may be the most attractive part of Shengu Yingshu.

Although netizens use many nicknames to ridicule Shengu Yingshu: "working Emperor", "mouth Hi player", "Internet sprinkler" and "Lahang King", I am afraid it does not contain much maliciousness. after all, no one can deny his talent in game development, and it is precisely because he is impressed by the games he makes that he is happy to know his character and is even willing to play with him. I am proud to be blocked by him.

Today, Shengu still speaks freely on Twitter every day, and "Block" netizens who disagree with each other always practice the idea of Platinum Studio, whether on the road of game development or on the matter of speaking freely:

"Platinum always keeps its luster." (Platinum maintains its luster forever. )
