Me: Haha, Bethesda really hyped up Fallout 76 last year and that turned out to be one of the biggest flops in all of gaming! And now they’re being sued for plagiarism! I can’t wait to see how sheepish and awkward they are this ye-
Bethesda: *maintains unblinking eye contact with me as it slams Ikumi Nakamura and Ghostwire on the table in front of me*
Me: … I… am…. SO sorry.
Just a thought but what made Ikumi Nakamura’s presentation so effective was that her tone was completely contrary to the product she was trying to sell. Normally this would seem out of sorts but it’s interesting how she was matched the outlook of the audience rather than the game. She was also clearly excited for the game she was working on in a way that didn’t seem canned.
I can’t really put my finger on it, but her presentation was a masterful work of public speaking.
I deadass saw someone lewd Ikumi Nakamura. I get if you lewd anime and game characters since they don’t even exist irl, but doing it to a real person, especially without their permission, is kinda creepy. Dont be that guy.
and before you bring it up: I’ve lewded real people before, but thats because they themselves wanted me to draw them that way, therefore it was consentual
I tweeted Ikumi Nakamura, the art director of The Evil Within and she responded!
@nakamura_193 Nakamuraさんのアートが大好きです。ジョセフをデザインしてくれてありがとうございます!!!

What I said: “I love your art so much! Thank you for designing Joseph!”
What she said: “Hello!! I’m happy to hear that. Thanks for loving Joseph! He’ll appear again in front of fans in the near future! …Probably.”
OMG!!!!!!
So Ikumi Nakamura is leaving and I’m big sad but she seems to be in good spirits.
Someone on Reddit said they read on 4chan that someone is claiming to have friends in Tango (obviously right? Don’t we all…..🙄) and they answered some questions about Ghostwire which the game sounds pretty cool but they were also asked about The Evil Within 3, to which they said:
Anyways it’s all RUMORS no one knows if this person on 4chan of all places is telling the truth but eh I’m at that point where I eat up any news about TEW 3
