Splatoon |OT| What is Street Culture?

[Radrappy]

Do you know what street culture is Radrappy? Because you obviously think squids that paint the floor and travel through it = street culture which it isn't. In the late 90's it was skating/rollerblading. What street culture does Splatoon cover? Please let us know.

Splatoon is not street culture. Going round painting people/land with your paint guns is not street culture.

Guys Street fashion and hip hop culture is such a big part of Splatoon it's not even funny.  A big part of the game is dressing up your character in street clothes.  We're talking bucket hats, beanies, chains, basketball jerseys, high tops, vaans, converses, and more. 

And that's before we talk about the music, skate park arenas, graffiti, shibuya influences, and the use of the word "fresh."

Do you think Sonic Generations had Sega DNA?

I didn't like the game, but genuine question.
What about Binary Domain? I didn't like Binary Domain either, but it had a certain something. And it featured a black dude so it had street culture because AIGHT AIGHT DANNY BOOIIIIIII

Sonic Unleashed has street culture too!





It was such intense street culture they had to cut it out of the wii version.

I can't tell because that's the smallest picture ever created by man or beast.

Dude, what is street fashion about Splatoon? Changing cloths? Come on man, you are just stretching basic game functions and trying to say its 'street culture. When is the last time you went on the streets and heard someone say 'fresh', I agree the game is totally a 'kick back' to games made in 1999-2004', no doubt about it.

But your trying a bit hard with the street culture shit. But saying its SEGA DNA and only counting SEGA games made in a small time frame is insulting to all the other games they created from 1983 - 1998. I guess Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter, Streets of Rage, Shining Force, Panzer Dragoon and so on aren't SEGA DNA games, cuz they don't look like Splatoon.

/thread The game is mean't to look like a game from the nineties.

I already said that edgy street culture influence and pop art were only a part of Sega's identity.  Plus, it is one that they have all but abandoned at this point.  And did Sonic Gens have any semblance of that?  Sure it did.  From grinding in City escape to the music to the presentation (the Act title screens are especially bold and pop art influenced). 

Binary domain could have been made by any studio; it's one of the reasons it's a solid but ultimately forgettable experience.

I'm no fashionista, but stuff like converse sneakers, baggy shorts and bucket hats is probably what he meant.

And headphones.

Street Culture.

Converse? Baggy shorts? again this is shit that was maybe popular in the late 90s. Which is my point all along. If you think current street culture is like that, lol.

People still wear converse all the time. Or am I uncool? Shit, I'm getting old.

Are you part of the street culture movement?

Street Culture was only in one example you posted, Jet Set Radio. Sonic the Hedgehog, Sambe de Amigo, Chu Chu Rocket, Billy Hatcher and Super Monkey Ball are not street culture. Furthermore, Smilebit did not represent SEGA's varied style, Overworks? AM2? Hitmaker? SEGA WOW? All completely different from what you're thinking. The colourful characters you pointed out also shared the same leading artist in 3 of them and 4 of them was from the same development studio.

Binary Domain wasn't forgettable for a good number of people and some of them consider it very much a RGG type game, what then. You're personal opinion trumps thiers?

Please expand on this because it's piqued my interest.
