I haven’t soured on any developer more than swery to be honest

like his gender hangups, alcoholism and dedication to everyhting feeling like deadly premonition in the worst ways, the broken ways, the ways that were only charming when it was a devs debut game

Despite not having made a great game since 2007 (change this to 2008 when I’m bothered to play fatal frame 4) I still have a lot of love for suda but he makes it hard sometimes.

SWERY fell off after working on Tomba 2

lmao i’m just thinking about how this is a classic Select Button style observation and just makes me imagine an alternate history where us forum denizens were film snobs in the 60’s who are hanging around movie theaters being like “forget this Alfred Hitchcock guy, wtf is this Torn Curtain bullshit? Joseph H. Lewis is where it’s at” within earshot of other patrons

That sounds like a video game version of this classic ‎Les Sièges de l'Alcazar (1989) directed by Luc Moullet • Reviews, film + cast • Letterboxd

the alcoholic dream team of swery and suda. It’s funny cuz even if you go back to like 2005 times all the best stuff in his games is written by his collaborators. He had very little to do with tokio morishimas plot aka the best part in tsc and 25th ward, they were written by Masahi Ooka instead, who also co-wrote flower sun and rain. killer7 is legit but that was 2005 and his writers still contributed to it especially the hand in killer7 stuff. Once you get past lollipop chainsaw (which is also a collab lol) you get into killer is dead times and nobody wants to talk about that outside “Suda wasn’t really involved honest!” because it’s stupid and horny. now hes back in his little box of making games about his 39 year old otaku self insert. I wonder what mid 90s Japanese horror film suda will rip off for hotel barcelona and then pretend he doesn’t know what it is for 10 years in interviews. Watch angel dust btw

There’s literally a placebo chapter in 25w about being trans online that was written by ooka (afaik a cis japanese guy) in 2005 and it blows anything suda or swery is capable of writing out of the water

No More Heroes is suda’s electric dragon 80,000V which is why that game works and the sequels don’t

if select button had anything to say about it, Seijin Suzuki definitely never would have been blacklisted

him getting blacklisted saved him from being forced to toil in the nikkatsu mines and this is a net good
