>Fangames
Nevermind lol
Why would anyone even give a shit if some Touhou fangame is being released in english, it's not like it matters
Maybe it would be neat to see it on a console or something but if it's on PC there's no reason to even bother
>>14817778
No idea what that has to do with my post but it seems to me that the only people who would care about this are /v/ crossies
>>14817710
Please go
>>14817768
If it does well, other Touhou games might be licensed.
For better or worse.
>>14817768
>>14817798
It's just a case of misunderstanding probably. I also thought it was going to be a new game at first sigh but it turns out it's just a translation of a fangame, like who cares.
>it seems to me that the only people who would care about this are /v/ crossies
I agree, why would you want something like touhou on steam? it will only attract the wrong kind of people and make the fanbase even more terrible.
>>14817711
>>14817657
I was really scared till I realized it's just some secondary fangame shit.
>People making money off ZUN's work cause he is too kind hearted to sue
>>14817888
you know he is the one that allowed fangames on sony systems in the first place. Pretty sure he had to give his ok for this as well.
>>14817711
Wasn't this about 2hu fangames coming to the west via steam/ps4 announced last year?
I'm happy, this could help un-decline 2hu
>>14817924
>this could help un-decline 2hu
This could help finally kill it by introducing the Steam mainstream fags to it
>>14817711
You're not far off about something bad happening.
It's a Nisa published game your PS4 will blow up the state.
>>14817657
This game is terrible though. And the framerate on the PS4 version is atrocious.
It's already been available in English on Asia PSN.
Aside from getting a cute touhou theme, there's no real point unless you like watching MMD-quality 3d models fire lasers at each other at 15fps on a good day.

I feel a vibe of hipsterism in this thread.
What makes you think that more people playing 2hou would ruin the game?
>>14818085
>What makes you think that more people playing 2hou would ruin the game?
The need to feel they belong to a subculture.
No, my comfy hole of touhou flavoured NEETism is being jeopardized by the threat of mainstream appeal.
I'm not diggin this. I don't want /jp/ to blow up with children and normals.
Tell me it's gonna be okay, friends. You're all I have.
>>14817806
Truth!
We either need to support this game or we may have little chance of getting other translated Touhou titles in the future - hopefully something better.
>>14818085
Go back to /v/. People playing the games wouldn't ruin them, the kinds of people who use steam forcing their way into the subculture even more than they already have would ruin any discussion of the series
>>14818105
Don't worry friend normalfags have been posting touhou memes for years
>>14818105
It already is, look at how many greentexting /v/tards there are in this thread alone.
>>14818085
I agree with this guy. Whats wrong with more people playing 2hu guise! Maybe even pewdiepie will make a video featuring them and ZUN will make an undertale crossover since it will become super popular!
>NISA
>>14818140
Blame the mods moving /v/ threads here lately.
>>14818137
>the kinds of people who use steam forcing their way into the subculture even more than they already have would ruin any discussion of the series
This. We already have it bad with basic weeaboos, now imagine the shitfest with the horrible steam community.
It's NISA, it'll be a buggy as all hell, butchered release that everyone will hate and ignore. I'm not anymore worried than I was with ZUN allowing those fangames on Sony's playstore.
>>14818085
It attracts steambros who are only interested in touhou 'for the cute girls' and using touhou doujin pics as their steam avatars, they're the worst subhumans in the western touhou community and we don't need more of them
>>14818190
Since the Playism release went so well, ZUN has already said that future games will end up being released on Steam, though not translated officially.
Truly, this is a step in the right direction for Touhou.
>>14818203
[citation needed]
>>14818203
>ZUN has already said that future games will end up being released on Steam
Didn't he said m a y b e they will be released? as in, not really sure?
>>14818203
I know, ZUN is a faggot who has betrayed his very own definition of doujin (doing it for hobby/enjoyment instead of for money), I hope he dies soon so me or another tru/jp/ can buy up the rights and return the series to its former glory.
>>14818190
Hey, don't worry, I'm sure it'll be just like when Moot called /jp/ "weaponized /a/." More mainstream attention couldn't possibly be a bad thing!
>>14818215
Even if they are released on Steam, I doubt it would have anything beyond the game. No trading cards, no badges, no kawaii weebshit profile background, and no chat emotes. It might not even have Steam DRM.
>>14818190
soon you won't be able to lewdpost so freely here.
>>14818246

i'm just here to enjoy 2hu with my bros
not to have people think i'm some kind of weirdo pervert into little girls
>>14818251
lmao dude, you are on /jp/, /jp/! dude. You are already way too deep into the rabbit's hole.
Quick, someone post that list of localized character names.
>>14818190
>It attracts steambros who are only interested in touhou 'for the cute girls'
>who are only interested in touhou 'for the cute girls'
I get the worrying feeling you unironically believe that Touhou's success and massive fanbase didn't come from the fact that it is literally nothing but cute girls with funny hats.
>>14818284
Shit, hats are the reason TF2 is still going strong.
>>14818269
Reimu Hakurei = Ramo Hakureye
Marisa Kirisame = Maresia Chareme
Remilia Scarlet = Remil Crimson
Sakuya Izayoi = Sockura Ez
>>14818289
can't wait for the crossover promotion where you can get touhou hats in tf2
in for a penny
>>14818284
You talk like someone that doesn't play the games, you know pretty damn well that that's just part of it. In my opinion most people get dragged by the music, be it the original work or a remix (more likely a remix). Of course, obnoxious waifufags are way more vocal, and of course there are combinations of both.
>>14817831
>it will [...] make the fanbase even more terrible.
I don't think that's possible.
>>14818284
Permissive licensing rules, challenging games and an open, expansive fantasy world for Japanese hikkis and NEETs to lose themselves in and forget about reality. Girls help, but they're not close to being the whole reason unless you're some kind of secondary.
>>14818300
Oh, i can assure you that it is honey, you don't even know.
>>14818303
>>14818299
Oh sure, there are a lot of other factors, but 2hu would be niche as fuck if its cast weren't a bunch of cute girls. The only way it could have even been close is if it were a bunch of shotas instead, but that's just the same thing flipped gender-wise.
>>14818297
Scout - Aya's tokin hat
Soldier - Meiling's cap
Pyro - Utsuho's Yatagarasu chest eye
Demoman - Suika's Ibuki gourd
Heavy - Cirno's wings
Engie - Nitori's backpack
Medic - Eirin's nurse cap
Sniper - Reisen's bunny ears and tail
Spy - Mamizou's leaf
Yes, I have thought this over.
>>14817778
>weeaboous
>>14818323
The same applies to almost every other popular Japanese franchise, they won't buy into anything without a bunch of girls in it. But it has more in it to separate it from the thousands of other games and shows with almost all-girl casts
>>14818323
>2hu would be niche as fuck if its cast weren't a bunch of cute girls
Less popular? Of course, without weeaboos getting dragged on to the series by some sparkling artwork of sanae flashing her panties we'll surelly have much less secondarias and quite a few less players.
Niche as fuck? No, as i already said, a lot of people get dragged by the music and the actual aspects of the gameplay mechanics. A lot of people just stick to the games and a hella lot of people just stick to the music.
>>14818339
These are Otaku we're talking about here. They are the ones who propelled Touhou into one of the biggest Japanese nerd franchises. You think all those guys drawing 2hu porn and ecchi played the games? Shmups are a niche genre even in Japan. There are plenty of Japanese secondaries. Just look at all the people who keep drawing Marisa with blue eyes even though they've been yellow in every fucking game.
>>14818352
there's a reason kancolle is even bigger these days, after all
>>14818352
Uh, i don't know why you think that with "secondaries" i was only reffering to the western fanbase. Of course i'm reffering to them in general, as i already said (and you said), japan propelled all those things you mentioned like porn and ecchi stuff and obviously the western people that like that kind of things get dragged to it because basically all that content is aimed at them.
However, my point is that not everyone that gets into touhou gets into it because they like japanese drawings. I know a few people that were actually afraid of getting into touhou because it looked like some kind of cashgrab weeaboo game (a la kancolle) but ended up getting into it because they really liked the music. They even liked the games after trying them out.
I'm not denying that the all girl cast and the waifu factor is a big part of the popularity, but saying that without those touhou would have fallen into obscurity is dumb.

To this whole post all I can think of is the news site siliconera. They have the gay rpers, they have the muh free speech kids and they have the people caring for this release.
>>14818427
Doctor Ellen is somehow very accurate
I have a bad feeling about this. It's like filthy secondaries trying to take over Zun and grab the license.
>>14819498
>grab the license
ZUN is the copyright holder
>>14819502

>>14819509
Valve would have to honor the copyright, they don't have a choice in the matter.
>>14817924
Yes, because the lovely steam crowd is exactly the sort of people the western toho community was lacking.
I, too, enjoy going on youtube and reading the comments on IOSYS videos.
>>14818780

Most artists I know who are into this don't even play a single game and are interested in that to begin with already
>>14820739
But artists produce cute or fappable things. Steambros produce annoyance and idiocy

How much different are the 'steambros' from regular secondaries?
God the game looks fucking shit.
The part with Sanae and Youmu has the most glaring gameplay design mistake. Both bullets are light blue. Watching the mess while trying to dodge it is impossible.
I still don't get why people that make competitive Touhou fangames don't just copy PoFV's layout. Why does it always have to circle arenas where you can move freely around eachother?
>>14820807
>>14820859
Secondaries might still actually be into the Touhou mythos or music or doujinshi or anything other than the games. Even secondaries can get pretty into it. Steambros, on the other hand, just play anything that looks remotely anime-esque. The same shitters who like Hunie Pop or whatever it's called and play all-ages eroge because the extent of their weebry is limited to gay ass memes and what is available on steam.
Nothing like trying to take advantage of the western Touhou fanbase by making an asian release only.
Not to mention this is already on PC, so I can hardly picture anyone but maybe die-hard Aya fans buying it.
>>14818265
>You are already way too deep into the rabbit's hole.
I wish Tewi would make this a reality.
Watch people buy it thinking it's an actual Touhou game only to go full denial when they see how shitty the real game's visuals compare.
>>14821834
secondaries will buy it to try out "that touhou thing" they've been seeing and then not get why people enjoy such a shit series
this might actually be a good thing
>>14820739
There's a difference between steambros and secondaries, doofus. On that note, I really want 'secondary' to make a comeback in the /jp/ lexicon
Don't worry jeeps, there's very little chance for 2hu to go truly mainstream in the West.
I know this because I'm in contact with dozens of weebs of all kinds everyday, and I don't know any other primaries other than me. I exposed many to it through the fighting games and the upcoming card game, but the number of people who changed from "doesn't know shit about 2hu/has seen some of the characters a few times" to "is playing the games or reading official literature" has been 0.
If the games got released on Steam, you WOULD inevitably see some more people from the West getting into the series, but don't think that there'd be a flood to propel it to the same heights it's in Japan. And as much as I hate the idea, having youtube e-celebs or whatever they are called these days make videos about 2hu would have little discernible effect. Think about it: in order to talk about anything more than the small bits and pieces of information you get in each game, you need to read. A lot. And you have to keep all that shit in mind. Pretty much no one would bother.
Most of the games are SHMUPs, and SHMUP is a niche genre as it has already been said. We will also definitely see some more Western-produced fangames in the future, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The card game is excellent for example. And even though they'll be produced in the West, they'll mainly stay within the bounds of the fandom.
So yeah, don't worry.

It's a bit similar to Bang!, if you ever played that. Not out yet, but you can print the cards or use tabletop sim to test it. It's honestly very well done and fun.

The SHMUP factor already acts like a built-in anti-casual system.
