I still don't see how that's an issue. It's okay to make sacreligeous things.
Apparently this prayer chant is off limits for whatever reason.
I still don't see how that's an issue. It's okay to make sacreligeous things.
also the game never showed up on virtual console when the first game in the series did, despite Cruis'n World being the way better game and as equally owned by nintendo as the first oneCruisn' World's release predates OoT.
It is conceivable that the use of the sample in that game is what alerted Nintendo to potential controversy in the first place, but Midway's game is not Nintendo's game, so either it was more difficult to prevent future revisions/shipments of the game from containing that sample, or Midway's game didn't sell enough copies to justify a new release with new code.
In either case I don't think they 'got away' with it given the timeline and how they revised OoT.
Arrgh this always happens
"This sample sounds cool I will use this"
Yup. Here's the track that caused the first LittleBigPlanet to be recalled:Little Big Planet, Vol. 2
From what i know it was a stock sounfile which also has been used pre-OoT in a racing game's desert stage for example.

Muslim chants in a Buddhist(?) temple themed stage.
It's literally called track 76 (part of the voice spectral vol. 1 library). Which sorts of begs the question after OOT did Nintendo let the people behind that library know about that track?Presumably it's not labeled as a Muslim chant in the sound library people are pulling it from, but you never know with Capcom.
Who will accidentally be released as Eid.
Not exactly. While the result is more or less the same, LBP's track composer is a Muslim who added the Quran verses to honor his religion and include it into his art.This happened with the first LittleBigPlanet, too.
It's not about that, it's about not offending people due to your ignorance. Like imagine if a sample had the n word and someone decided it sounded cool for a stage.I still don't see how that's an issue. It's okay to make sacreligeous things.
lolI suppose that's a good enough explanation. Islam really needs to get on with the times.
General Asian-ness/ General Religious ness.
Also lol at fighting in a Buddist temple is totally fine.

Official PR response regarding the music situation: https://www.fuzeqna.com/capcomsupport/ext/kbdetail.aspx?kbid=442
Thailand = Buddhists and Islamic prayers don't mix. Also in Islamic tradition Islamic prayers don't mix with music. Add to that Buddhists would be offended as Islamic prayers don't represent them.I just don't get how that's an issue.
Yeah, it is a shame that people ignorantly use other peoples' cultures as background dressing.It's a shame we live in a world where we have to worry about things like this
This. They're even rhythmic and almost musical in and of themselves, and would probably make great backing for a music track.There's so many Buddhist chanting monk CDs out there they could've sampled from; whoever put this music together must have no clue about Thailand or Buddhism.

You can know everything about everything and worry about offending people because they believe the sky is green or whatever.Yeah, it is a shame that people ignorantly use other peoples' cultures as background dressing.
i mean they picked a buddhist temple for their background so clearly they were interested in it lmaoits religion dude, who gives a fuck
its religion dude, who gives a fuck
It's not a shame. It's respecting the other. We should learn more about the other instead of ignoring.It's a shame we live in a world where we have to worry about things like this
if its cool enough for your aesthetic but not your respect then maybe you're the one with problems
It's not a shame. It's respecting the other. We should learn more about the other instead of ignoring.
Well they obviously are choosing what to "respect" since they are removing the Islamic prayer but they aren't removing anything related to Buddhism in the stage (are they?)
its a generic sample of chanting, you shouldn't have to worry about some nut jobs trying to kill you because you used some sounds in an arcade game.It's not a shame. It's respecting the other. We should learn more about the other instead of ignoring.
I must've missed capcom's statement about attempts on employee lives.its a generic sample of chanting, you shouldn't have to worry about some nut jobs trying to kill you because you used some sounds in an arcade game.
Really now?its a generic sample of chanting, you shouldn't have to worry about some nut jobs trying to kill you because you used some sounds in an arcade game.
Obviously it's clearly incorrect - in a better world this would just have been amusing not offensive. But here we are
I mean, Capcom obviously does, given they removed it.its religion dude, who gives a fuck
Now tell us how you really feel.its a generic sample of chanting, you shouldn't have to worry about some nut jobs trying to kill you because you used some sounds in an arcade game.

It's funny how this Islamic chant is off limits because it's offensive to Muslims...But it's ok to have a fighting venue in a Buddhist temple. Capcom doesn't seem worried about offending Thais.
theres been plenty of times a religion has been "offended" by this kind of thing and made threats and carried out attacks, French cartoonists know only too well. It's not a stretch to see that as a major reason for doing this.I must've missed capcom's statement about attempts on employee lives.
Probably both. Fundamentalist Buddhists would be up in arms over this.To be honest they could have just removed it because they realized it was a bit odd having Islamic chanting in a Thai Buddhist themed stage. I get what you're saying, but they didn't really state their reason as one or the other and I could imagine them wanting to have something more accurate once the error was pointed out even if no one was going to be offended.
