[S] Clarify on the homepage that we're not official

Post by Meph »

The Gyakuten Saiban film was shown at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, recently. One thing really worried me in the description of the film:
http://www.filmfestivalrotterdam.com/en ... en-saiban/
The film is based on the game Ace Attorney, originally developed for the Game Boy Advance, but later also adapted for the Nintendo DS. I have to admit that I had never heard of the game before I saw the film, let alone played it. Even after seeing the film, I couldn’t really imagine what the game was like, but that wasn’t difficult to correct.

On this website you can find a free trial package: http://aceattorney.sparklin.org. Through the trial package, you also come into contact with the enormous social community that has emerged around the game. A whole plethora of internet forums gives fanatical players an opportunity to exchange insights and tips with each other. These forums make it especially clear why someone decided to turn the game, which is not very visual, into a film. There was already an enormous interested audience. It doesn’t say much that I was not part of it.

Ace Attorney, as the trial package reveals, most resembles a complex and extensive non-digital board game. A bit like Colonists of Catan. Lots of cards. Lots of characters. Lots of rules.

If you add the fact that players can start their own court cases and that magic is allowed, then you start to get a picture of the addiction of the game. Only those who know many characters and rules have any chance. Just like in real court cases.
This person seems to think that his website was created by Capcom and is the Ace Attorney franchise. That's really worrying. If he thinks that, how many other people are there that believe the same thing?

We need to edit the message on the homepage. We need to give greater clarification that are just a fan community and that we're not affiliated with Capcom. Maybe we should give a link to http://ace-attorney.com, as well.

That's... really funny xD

But a disclaimer probably isn't a bad idea

It's serious. :?

I really want to know what he meant by "non-digital", as well. This is very digital! :?

This is kind of hilarious, but worrying. I support a disclaimer so Unas doesn't get sued. That would be bad.

Here, disclaimer updated in the French and English languages.

I'll ask Dan and ThePasch for the Spanish and German versions ASAP.

I laughed when I read this.

Nice that there's a disclaimer. Or was there one already? I didn't notice if there was. =P

...really? Really now? Remember guys; when you make a review of a movie based off a video game, DO YOUR DAMN RESEARCH!
There wasn't a signature fad/meme/whatever here, what are you talking about?
