Pragmata Japan Comedy Reference
Pragmata, Capcom’s upcoming game, features several hidden interactions between its protagonist Hugh, a space mercenary, and Diana, his android companion. Recently, players have uncovered a Japanese comedy reference hidden within one of the game’s collectible items.
As players progress through the lunar base setting—where Hugh and Diana are trying to escape from a hostile AI—they can collect REMs, which are 3D holographic reconstructions of Earth objects. These collectibles serve a dual purpose: they can be given to Diana as gifts to decorate the Shelter, fostering the relationship between the human and android characters.
The first REM that players encounter is a globe, which comes with a subtle but clever Japanese comedy reference. When Diana interacts with this particular collectible, she delivers a line that references Japanese comedy, adding a layer of cultural humor to the game. This discovery highlights how Capcom has woven details throughout Pragmata that reward careful players and enrich the game’s world.
Such hidden moments showcase the developers’ attention to detail and their commitment to creating memorable interactions between the two main characters. The reference also demonstrates how games can incorporate cultural humor that may resonate differently depending on the player’s familiarity with Japanese comedy traditions.
