Talk:Genji: Dawn of the Samurai

message: Wow, there's a lot of "giant enemy crab" and "massive damage" vandalism in this article...
And I understand that guy from the press conference mentioned "real-time weapon changing," but did he really say it was only possible on PS3 hardware? Because I find that very hard to believe. I never watched the whole conference, but from what I have seen, (*cough*SonyConferenceInOneMinute*cough*) it looked to me like he just quickly mentioned "real-time weapon changing," not proclaim it to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. --Foot Dragoon 01:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: The article claims that Phil Harrison did the disastrous Genji 2 presentation.  I don't know if he was at it or not, but in the video that includes the "giant enemy crab" and "massive damage" and "realtime weapon change" comments, it was certainly not Phil Harrison, at least if the Phil Harrison article is right.  Harrison is the British guy (who said the "no external sensor required" comment at E3), while the Genji presenter was not British, and unlike Harrison, wore eyeglasses.  The article makes multiple references to Harrison, so I was reluctant to change it right away.  Am I right that the infamous presenter of Genji was not Phil Harrison?

thread_title:  Phil Harrison presented? 

message: Rougemacabre is quite right, there is much confusion about the game's inspiration, unsurprisingly, since the game is called "Genji" but is *not* based on Tale of the Genji, and is instead based on Tale of the Heike. Having studied a bit of Japanese history, I was also very confused. To address this head-on and minimize confusion, I explicitly stated in the opening paragraph that it is not based on Tale of the Genji.
Concering the above issues: Phil Harrison himself did not take the controller and give the presentation - it was one of the developers who had a slur ("realistic ashun game") and was probably not a native English speaker. This is imho the main reason for his funny lines. In any case, the presentation is indeed very funny and thus not exactly blown out of proportion, as I believe most people realize that he did not actually mean real-time weapon switching was new to videogames. It is funny, though, becasue Genji 2 was supposed to be a shining example of the "new dimension of gameplay" that the PS3 would allow, but instead we are blessed with "new" features like being able to switch weapons without going to a menu - gasp!
:I think the presenter was a native English speaker, but was just very unprepared and/or low on sleep.  What was with the E3 presenters, anyway?  They only had a few basic things to demonstrate, and all of them, without fail, stumbled over their words and otherwise had poor stage presence.  It seems they could have paid some actor (who was also a gamer and so would understand the situation) to present, and could have done it just as well. MrVoluntarist 15:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Added clause in first paragraph for additional clarity 

message: Why was the E3 presentation part of Genji 2 deleted? Its certainly relating to the game and will forever be part of it. To not include the details of its E3 presentation would be like to deny putting up Tom Cruises couch hopping antics at oprah and instead simply stating 'he was in a movie about aliens'.
: /agreed.  We should probably make an article about the sequel however, and stick it in there instead.  Roffler 22:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deleted!? 

message: This article claims that this game was released on 9/20/05.  "Genji 2" redirects to this article.  That Sony guy could not have possibly showcased an already-released game at the E3 2006, and for the PS3 (if it was released for the PS2 as the article says).  Further, the title has apparently been renamed to Days of the Blade, so should the article be moved likewise, or is that a separate game altogether (as the third paragraph implies)?
