Ubisoft Creative Director Uncovers Dirty Secret: Games Journalists are Racists

Well now, there are some things that we as journalists have to put up with being called: Liar, Word Twisting Sodomite, "Bias", Misquoting Fecker... but "racist". We were not expecting that one.

It appears, however, that this is exactly what the creative director of Assassin's Creed 3 thinks "western journalists" are. HE said so, at gamescom in Germany. Yes, Alexander Hutchinson, said the following:

"I think there's a subtle racism in the business, especially on the journalists' side, where Japanese developers are forgiven for doing what they do."

Hilariously this comes from the man responsible for making a game that, so far, has Red Coated Brits being slaughtered left right and centre. But what does he mean? He elucidated to CVG.

"Just think about how many Japanese games are released where their stories are literally gibberish. Literally gibberish. There's no way [a western developer] could write it with a straight face, and the journalists say 'oh it is brilliant'." Riiiiiiight. He's finally uncovered our dirty secret, we games journalists are all racists... against non-Japanese storytelling!

So, what does this man of insight use as comparison? "Then Gears of War comes out and apparently it's the worst written narrative in a game ever. I'll take Gears of War over Bayonetta any time. I just think the simple question should be; is the story any good?"

This will be because games journalists are subtle racists against non-Japanese storytellers and stories and storytelling is entirely binary.

We've already bet 10p on the Ubisoft retraction including the phrase, "misquoted".
