Redpill me on this guy.
based developer who has yakuza contacts. has threatened to kill the SE president and board of directors unless they let him keep making games.
it's a funny skeleton just like in my epic memes
>>340424289
He is a warp-spawned daemon serving as avatar of the concept of the Japanese disdain for happy endings.
Why does he wear the mask?
>>340424938
Because he's ashyguy
He's an absolute madman. That's all you need to know.
>>340424432
What is this? got more?
>>340424289
He has an interesting take on videogames.

>>340424289
Arguably the most unique director in vidya
>>340425224
No, sorry
He saw one of his friends die from a fall and his corpse had a boner
>>340424938
>Holding hands in public
How brazen. As expected of Taro.
He died for your sinsI seriously wonder if they were doing some bible thing with him being jesus rolling in the desert
I don't get this new meme
>>340424289
He's running for president.
Post rare Yoko Taros.
>>340427115
>new
No anon, you are new.
>>340428373
Fuck off, nobody likes your epic skeleton meme
>>340428463
>being buttmad because you can't look it up on knowyourmeme
>>340424289
kind of high-functioning chuuni, he makes dark and sad games and supposedly it's considered super edgy in japan
>>340428463
>epic skeleton meme
You're literally this mad for missing out on something a year ago that's not even that much of a meme, just pics of how awesome Nier 2's announcement was.
Trigger warning
>>340429714
DELETE
>>340429220
It was awesome because the guy wore a retarded mask?
>>340429951
Sorry, i forgot to click the spoiler. I was laughing while posting.
>>340428202
is it too late to vote for him?
>>340424289
He's a fucking mad man.
The end.
I wanna play Nier but apparently it has some relation to Drakengard. Should I play those games first?
>>340430690
No and you shouldn't play Nier either, it's a piece of weeb trash
>>340430776
> it's a piece of weeb trash
This
>>340430690
There is no need. They play in the same world, but have seperate stories. Play it, it's great.
>>340428202
>MAKE AMERICA MISERABLE AGAIN
>Great Depression was truly a great inspiration
>>340430690
No. The connection is not even in the game and series are pretty much not related. Plus Drakengard games have really bad gameplay.
>>340424289
He's such a fucking masochist that he gets off on his games tanking in sales.
Nier ruined my life.
Can't wait for the sequel.
>>340431227
I can already say that Nier: Automata will be his best selling game. The Platinum seal alone will make a lot of people interested.
>>340429714
Who would win in a fight?
Hideki, or Kamiya?
>>340424938
He apparently has crippling social anxiety and a strong dislike of being photographed.
>>340431553
>Gideon, Kalil and P-33
NO!
FUCK YOU!
>>340430690
The connection is really obscure, you don't need to play the drakengard games. They're shit anyway tbqh.
In the Drakengard/Nier series I've only played Drakengard 3. I really like the gameplay, but the framerate gets really bad at some points and fuck the final boss. I can't beat it even with a video guide to help and I've spent a month trying to beat it. I need to play Nier, but I'm waiting until after E3 or TGS to make sure there is/isn't some sort of PS4 remaster coming.
>>340431697
Kamiya, no contest. Just look at how the skin hangs off Hideki's face, that's flab.
Meanwhile Kamiya's shoulders alone could likely support a train passing through the mountains.
>>340429714
man
fuck cancer
>>340432123
He doesn't have cancer, does he?
I wonder what kind of game he'd make if he knew he was going to die soon.
>>340430268
No it was awesome because it triggers autists like yourself, fuck off
>>340424289
he trolls people that play him games, it's hilarious
>>340432375
The most happy and cheerful game ever.
>>340428202
>That resolution and file size
>>340430690
Yes
They are Goty
Who's more insane, Taro or Suda51?
>>340433210
Dunno, but I know who is the most cutest dev
>>340428202
God bless ;_;7
>>340433210
Swery.
I really want those three to make something together.
And then for the result to be sealed away forever, never to be seen by mortal men.
>>340424289
Why does he wear the mask?
>>340433210Is Let it Die still coming out?
>>340433210
Killer7 on pc when
Can't aim on emulator, how do I setup the gamepad?
>>340434618
Yeah, seems to be pretty far in development too.
>had a good friend fall off a roof and die in front of him
>found the event hilarious in retrospect because his corpse had a huge, very visible boner
>>340435307
>>340425569
What? Tell me more
>>340434953
Oh damn didn't realize a trailer just got released for it.
I'm cautiously optimistic though since it doesn't seem anything like Killer7, NMH, or KiD
>>340425054
for you
>>340435434
>During his youth, he experienced an incident that would influence his later work as a scenario writer: while in a shopping street with a group of friends, one of them who was walking along a high building roof slipped and died from the fall. The scene as Yoko remembered it was initially "horrifying", but in hindsight he saw humorous elements as well
That's it.
>>340435307
>is considered to be shy, doesn't really want to talk in front of the camera
>turns into a goofball as soon as he wears the mask
This mask must possess strange powers.
>>340435583
The fact it's F2P pretty much kills all my hype.
He's an edge lord.
>>340428202
>(666 KB, 666x666)
a-anon
>>340434618
Should be looking forward to the Silver Case remake instead, as that is one of his most fucked up games he's ever made.
>>340428202
>the resolution and file size
>>340436263
What's his problem?
>>340436137
>He's an edge lord.
And how.
And I wouldn't want it any other way.
>>340436465
I feel that's a bit justifiable because she was getting tortured to death, no?
>>340436608
Sure, it's justifyable. It's just that the way it's written is kind of hilariously over-the-top.
>>340436608
I believe this was after the torture, she and five female rebels were tied to a stake and the last one to bleed out got to be burned alive with the bodies of the others
Keep in mind she was there because she was a serial murderer with a kill count in the fucking triple digits because violence was the only act in her life that ever worked out in her favor
>>340429714
Honestly his real head looks like the Emil mask
>>340437667
Is there a novel or something I could read for that stuff?
>>340437882
That's from one of the short stories on the game's website I think
It's probably on the wiki too
>>340425313
Very, very interesting. He's strange but also very very smart.
>>340436608
>>340437667
It think coughing up blood wasn't from the torture but the plague
>>340438868
Oh yeah, she was sick too huh
>>340425313
what an odd man, but I hear his message.
>>340424289
It's Papyrus' big bro
He likes ketchup, but is secretly a powerful god
I don't know why this board gets it all wrong and how I'm the first to notice
>>340439314
NICE
MEME
>>340429714
he's got some extreme sempaku eyes, this man's about to lose it.
>>340439698

This man lost it 20 years ago

ow the edge
>>340433210
Suda51 actually made some good games so he's not an epic memer like Taro
>>340433506
Was D4 any good?
>>340430268
Dude, pretty much 99.8% of Taro's pictures have him wearing a mask. Even years and years ago, he had a paper mask, and a few times he was even a hand puppet. It's not a meme, it's just a feature of his character that we find endearing.
>>340442138
It was okay. I get the impression that the remaining seasons will never come out, though.
>>340431109
They kind of are. They may take place in different universes, but they're about as connected as Drakengard 1 and 3, IE the standard amount, cash-in Drakengard 2 notwithstanding.
>>340430690
>>340431761
one of us
>>340442902
>drakengard 2
It was my understanding that Drakengard 2 couldn't canonically fit in with Ending A snugly, and was some abomination between A, B, and C with its own elements?
>>340442902
>>340442902
>All humanity goes extinct
>Aliens invade
Reminds me of fucking Nasuverse timeline ending with Angel Notes
>>340443378
>14th machine war
>39-45
Oh Taro.
His best friend is the former president of Square, and the current president was a really big fan of his games back when he was with Cavia
>>340425313
The most brilliant puppet the world had ever known
>all these newfags saying dont play Drakengard
exactly why the fanbase here is shit desu, too many bandwagoners
Next some idiot will say watching an LP is fine.
>>340431761
yet he still goes to all these conventions and shit, despite not needing to.
>>340430776
There are many words I can use to describe his games. Weeb trash is not one of them.
>>340444713
He's like us
In person he has bad social skills, but he can say and do anything when he's wearing the mask
Even perceived anonymity is useful in making things easier.
>>340444904
but he doesn't talk. all he does it pantomime awkwardly and make an ass of himself. if he wants to be anonymous he can just not call attention to himself. no one would recognize him.
>>340439698
Is that Peter Capaldi on the bottom?
>>340444713
>>340444904
>>340445363
His whole point behind the mask is that he wants people to acknowledge his work, not him as an artist.
He has no problem getting up on stage without a mask (watch the GDC video), but he dosent want to become a "definite personality" to the audience. Goofing around with the mask helps with that, its just clown shit and he knows it.
>>340424938
Because nobody would care about him until he put on the mask
he did a GDC talk without the mask on. Look it up
>>340434785
>how do I setup the gamepad?
If it's the GC version, get the GC controller thing for the WiiU, it's compatible with PC.
>>340436263
>evangelion ending with special guest ayy lmao

They're drinking buddies now, they'll never fight.

>mfw I have to live the rest of my life unfulfilled
>>340446939
You could've at least posted it.
Anybody interested in game narrative should definitely check it out, really interesting stuff. These GDC guys are kinda assholes considering he asks that they don't record him, but just like nigga close your eyes.

>>340448584
Fuck off, this thread is shit anyway.
>>340424289
He's completely fucking nuts and a full-on genius who doesn't know the first thing about gameplay and can never get a budget
Maybe the only way he can get Square to actually make the games in the first place is if he says they can do it on a minuscule budget.
