To add insult to injury the new actor isn't even the same nationality as Lo Wang, blindly implying that all oriental races are the same i.e. But then again, that's wokeism in a nutshell: self-defeating hypocrisy.

That's of course without even broaching the fact that recasting an actor because of his skin colour is in fact racist. This nonsensical development hurts so much more with SW due to the series' history and also the history of FWH themselves. Who knows how this cultural cancer has impacted other facets of the game. All this crap is in the name of wokeism.ugh. Zilla is one of the biggest hitters, supposedly replaced by a "influencer". Unfortunately it appears the stupidity didn't stop there, because they've apparently recast other major characters as well, characters I might add that were performed excellently in the previous entries. The games would not of been what they were without him. Jason Liebrecht really brought Wang to life in the reboots and whether the lines he was delivering were brilliant or mediocre his energy and performance was always spot on. It cannot be stressed enough what a colossally moronic decision this was. Recasting Lo Wang and other pivotal characters mid development- Which brings us to the most recent fuck up of the ill-fated SW3. I mean, the game's due out in less than a month and there's still a mile long queue of gamers with questions. They've just been god awful in this regard surrounding pretty much everything around SW3 and its development. Piss-poor communication with fans and the gaming community at large - The best example of this is that the game was still scheduled for a 2021 release and we didn't hear about the obvious delay until the eleventh hour. Let's just pray this didn't impact SW3 too much, if at all with them now being under another publisher. More on this later.ĬOVID - This impacted almost everyone so we can't single out FWH here, but it's still worth mentioning because it almost certainly affected the game.ĭevolver Digital giving donations to Anita Sarkeesian under sketchy circumstances - I don't even wanna get into this shit show, but it's worth mentioning nevertheless. It appears the characterization and dialogue of the game's characters have been affected too. The Shadow Warrior games were always vibrant and colourful but were always grounded in reality and they never looked like candy land. Tonality shift - This bleeds into the previous point. Now they're the ones mimicking the copycat? The whole situation is weird, and in SW3's case completely unnecessary. DOOM 2016 pretty much copied Shadow Warrior 2013 wholesale and got all the credit and recognition that FWH should of received three years prior. Aside from this being a disastrous mistake it is also incredibly ironic. Yet somehow during all the confusion they came to the conclusion that copying DOOM Eternal would be the best direction to take the game in because it was popular.
Of course the smart move would of been to combine the best elements of both games and then refine and polish it to death to create the ultimate Shadow Warrior experience. A percentage of the community/fanbase loved SW1, another percentage loved SW2 and the rest simply loved both. Loss of game direction - It's pretty clear that FWH didn't initially know where to go with SW3. They switched to Unreal, which means SW3 will ultimately look and feel less distinct (nothing against Unreal, but by its very nature it's more generic and cookie cutter than proprietary engines). Not only was this engine on par with many industry leaders it was custom built from the ground up for FWH's games and the devs knew it inside-out. Both SW1 & SW2 (and Hard Reset if I'm not mistaken) were built on FWH's own kickarse in-house RoadHog engine. They switched game engines during development - I personally feel this is when the rot started to set in for both FWH and SW3. They probably should of just stuck with Devolver Digital.
We'll never truly knows how deep the ramifications of this decision went that said, everything we've seen and heard since suggests this was a bad thing for Flying Wild Hog, and therefore Shadow Warrior 3. The devs got bought out - Now this isn't an inherently bad thing, in fact it can often be a good thing.
Here, for those of you that lost track of it all over the last five years I'll give you a summary: Yeah, but who the hell wants to pre-order this dumpster fire at this point (physical or otherwise)? There is a literal laundry list of issues surrounding the development of Shadow Warrior 3.
