    I'm not Latino, I'm a black guy from New York, this was interesting to watch, I noticed u don't see much non-Mexican Latino representation in American media, which I always thought was ironic because all the Latino people I know are Puerto Rican or Dominican, my best friend is Puerto Rican.

    • @TheGameShelf
      @TheGameShelf  3 роки тому +21

      Yeah usually "Latino" culture is represented as Mexican stereotypes, which again is pretty cool for us from Mexico to see, but with this video I really wanted to show the other side, when developers attempt to do something more, while not all of them are winners it's cool when they nail it

    This video is The Game Shelf´s Magnus Opus. Incredible video, I don´t think there are games talking about Ecuador culture or any kind of reference but this is still a great way to show the love in Latin American Culture via videogames.

    man this is a great video
    quickest 40 minutes of my life
    I'm Costa Rican, so it's not surprise when I say that MGS: Peace Walker holds a really important place in my heart
    Considering we don't have an army, seeing a game about invasive forces sneaking into my country is really a scary concept, but I really do love it. I was really invested in the story and I love it with all my heart as it's possibly the only representation that I know of of my country in vidya.
    In MGSV, they even add photographs of the soldiers in their time in here and one of them contains them sharing plates of Gallo Pinto, our most famous national dish, and that just brings me so much joy man...
    Representation is important, people.

    • @TheGameShelf
      @TheGameShelf  3 роки тому +2

      Fun fact, while making this video I had to re-render it like 7 times due to technical issues, after everything was settled I gave it one final rewatch to ensure everything was ok till I found out I accidentally said "Costa Rica abolished its army in 1984" instead of 1948
      Normally I would've let that error slide or add a small note but I thought "No, this is the biggest representation of Costa Rica, I need to be as accurate as possible" So I re-recorded that entire section

    - A chapter of Red Dead Redemption 2 is setted on a cuban island
    - There are a lot of GTA gangs from Latin America such as: Diablos (Puerto Rico), Cartel (Colombia), Cubanos (Cuba), Haitianos (Haiti). Also, there are a lot of characters, such as Elizabeta Torres, Mallorie Bardas, Manny Escuela and Juan Garcia Cortez (supposedly from Argentina or Panama)
    - Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is setted on the Caribbean, and you visit places like Cuba
    - Call of Duty Ghosts is setted in countries like Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, etc
    - The L.A. Noire's chapter "The Consul's Car" where you investigate who stole the argentinian consul's car
    - Tropico, a whole saga where you play as the president of a fictional nation located in the caribbean and have a lot of mentions of real latin american countries

    *En el juego "12 minutes" si uno prende la radio puede escuchar Tango y "Por una Cabeza" de Carlos Gardel es la canción de la pareja
    *XCOM es un juego engloba a todo el mundo, pero en XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012), la misión tutorial esta "scripted" para que del escuadrón solo sobreviva el soldado de nacionalidad Argentina
    *Si bien Grim Fandango esta basado en Mexico, algunos de sus personajes tienen tono y lenguaje Argentino
    *En Terranigma de SNES, un pueblo está ubicado en Brasil
    *En el juego "Antartic Adventure" de Arcade y NES, cada checkpoint es una base de un país en la Antartida, incluida la base de Argentina (la primera vez que vi representación de un país latino en un juego)
    *Road Rash 3 en la Genesis tiene un mapa basado en Brasil (me sorprendió un poco que no se hable de juegos de carreras. Creería que habrían varios mapas por las veces que el Dakar se realizó en Latinoamérica)
    * El Amazonas fue representada varias veces en la NES. DuckTales y Ninja Gaiden tienen escenarios allí

    The indie RPG Cris Tales was made by Colombian studios called Dreams Uncorporated and Syck. I like that the title is a play on words or cristales since the protagonist Crisbell uses crystals to power her magic. And the architecture in game is also Colombian inspired.
    I think for the most part it isn’t fully clear the party’s heritages but one of the main characters Cristopher had a father named Armando.
    It had performance issues on last Gen platforms but man I still loved it

    Like in another comment, I'm also sad to not seeing a lot of chilean representation in your video, but also I think that you missed other topics that are worth to mention like fictional racing tracks (either arcade or sim-arcade) or FPS maps (either in single or multiplayer).
    Good examples (at least for Chilean representation) are Giant Statues track in Outrun 2 (resembles Easter Island including Poike's volcano), all the Chilean tracks in Driveclub (which are good representations to be honest), the Horizon Chase Turbo and Top Gear 2 tracks, some multiplayer maps in Battlefield Bad Company 2 (Valparaiso, Arica Harbour, Islas Inocentes and Atacama), Lazos Rotos campaign mission in COD Ghosts (also in the Atacama desert), the Mapuches and the Chilean army in Age of Empires III, Kemen Vazquez in 1080° Avalanche and in SOCOM Fire Team Bravo there's a chilean person speaking chilean. I know there0's more representation in other countries that maybe are missed here, but I hope to see them in a next video :D

    As a Puerto Rican, I remember that when we watched spider verse, my ma was hyped about him being Puerto Rican. I didn't see it at first but seeing all the details and his mom being outright Puerto Rican herself, yeah i see it

    I'm a bit surprised you've not heard of Lienzo. For those not in the know they are a Mexican developer with their biggest games being Mulaka based off the Taramuhara people of Northern Mexico and there more recent title Aztech. But given this video is a year old maybe you've heard of these and may be planning another video.
    I'm not complaining or anything like that. Being half Latino myself I'm happy I found some like minded individuals who were looking for representation of their people.

    The only Videogame character i know related to Costa Rica is Paz Ortega from metal gear solid Peace walker and i said related because I'm not sure if she's Costa Rican or just a spy from another country

    You kindo forgot about some characters like Loba from Apex and Jimenez from smt and some games like , Fc 6 that is based in Cuba and the one with most representation Grim Fndango; other than this was a good video.

      No joke, it was a whole week of doing research, keeping constant contact with my friends from other countries and writing the script at the same time.
      Easily the most difficult video to make, but I'm super satisfied with the final product

    En Battlefield 4, tienes el mapa Rogue Transmission. Situado en un radio telescopio en China... PERO realmente se basó en el Observatorio de Arecibo en Puerto Rico, ya que para el tiempo de desarrollo del juego el telescopio real de china aun no había completado su construcción.
    Igualmente, dicho observatorio sirvió de local para la película GoldenEye (aunque según la trama de la película se sitúa en Cuba). En 'GoldenEye 64' aparece como un nivel en la campaña y se planificaba tener una versión para el multiplayer, pero se canceló. (el Remaster cancelado de Goldeneye 64 para el xbox 360 tiene una versión un poco mejorada de este mapa).
    En 'Goldeneye: Rogue Agent' aparece como un nivel de multiplayer, y la campaña de 'Goldeneye 007', el reboot por Activision, culmina en una versión sumamente exagerada del satélite situado en Nigeria.

    The guy cares a lot for his family and most importantly he has a lot of Latino influence in both the way he speaks and his mom Mama Welles speaks in Latin plenty

    One of my favorite games is Bad Company 2 and I think it has the best multiplayer maps ever and most of them are based on actual places in Chile, also the Panama Canal is in it, also u see favelas a lot in FPS games Modern Warfare 2 and Rainbow Six Siege, and Max Payne 3 was set almost entirely in Brazil, and I think there was a Panama Canal mission in that too

    There was one old game that I noticed wasn't in this video: Inca for DOS (and the ill-fated Philips Cdi). While the game is really clunky, and the sequel more so, it tries to show Native American representation through the Quechua language. The plot was also really weird. This golden man named "El Dorado" gets summoned by Huayana Capac and fights Spanish conquistadors in space.
