SONY: "Japanese Games Are Coming Back To Console"

>Japanese Games Are Coming Back To Console
did they ever leave?

>inb4 Ape Escape faggots think their shitshow ever mattered

It means the Vita is officially kill

>>380060390
Yeah

>>380060447
Do people actually have an issue with Ape Escaoe fans on this board? Is this a recent development?

>>380060390
Yeah PC stole a lot recently

>its PSV ports of niche weebshit

Hehehohehehohehehoheheha!

It's year. Japanese games are NOT relevant.

Hey, remember all those good games announced the past two years? I sure am glad they're out now so that I can play them.

>>380060390
Not really, no. Unless non-AAA games doesn't count.

>>380061032
They're Ape Escape fans, that's the issue.

>>380061078
Stole? What

>>380060185
>Sony wants more japanese gamers
>Capcom makes sony exclusive MH for western people

Something doesn´t line up. It´s probably code vein, something from From and DS. Also jprg´s.

Western oriented Japanese games never left console and Japanese oriented ones will never go back because Japanese people don't buy consoles.

>>380060185
Sony is going to save gaming yet again. Microsoft and Bethesda showed off nothing but indie shit and SJW-pandering trash, Sony will show real games for real gamers.

>>380061297
PS exclusives went to PC

>>380061032
Only with one in particular.

>>380061409
Thank God for based Sony

>>380061490
How is that stealing? The people that want to play on console still can.

>>380061395
>Japanese oriented ones will never go back because Japanese people don't buy consoles.
We've got like 4 big ones just this year though.

>>380060185
You know very well Sony can't win against the Microsoft presentation because mouth breather will go LOOK AT ALL THE GAMES MICROSOFT SHOWED or some similar shit.

>>380060390
Many companies have been focusing on mobile games and there hasn't been any big announcement of a japanese game from a well known series in quite a while, specially for the west.

>>380061623
It's like with a woman and she is your wife, sure you can have sex with her, but would you really enjoy it when you know she can get a better experience elsewhere?

>>380061808
>It's like with a woman and she is your wife
No

>>380061628
This normal fags eat this shit up. Sony can say whatever they want but dudebros/sports is where the money is at. They probably going to forget they even said that statement by tonight and show only western shit.

>>380061395
Is Persona 5 western oriented?

>>380061808
A food analogy would've been better anon.

>>380062046
Yes but Sega teased Persona 5 PC

>>380062153
>Yes
How so?

>inb4 is the same shit we already know about or "remaster"

>>380061628
Kaz Hirai could literally step on stage an take a big fat dump walk off and Sony would´ve won this e3.

Microsoft is a fucking joke.

>>380060185
>implying they won last year
Nothing that Sony showed last year mattered.
They lost to one game, and I can say this having malice for Nintendo and the Switch.

Persona is a day in the life of a Japanese person. Why would a bunch of Japanese people play that when they have SMT?

>Friend buys Persona 5 because he has a PS4 and needs games
>Ask him how weeb SMT is going
>He gets confused and thought the one with the more japanese name was the weebier one
>Mfw

>psp 3 on christmas

>>380060390
Namely Monster Hunter

>>380062747
>Why would a bunch of Japanese people play that when they have SMT?
Because they love it. It already has twice as much fanart as the average SMT.

>>380062683
How can anyone be excited about NNK2 after how shitty the first one turned out?

>>380062747
Isn't Persona selling better than SMT
Also it's supernatural high school otaku pandering shit with a possible harem of course nips eat that shit up

>>380062924
Watch PSX's trailer, combat/gameplay is entirely new. It has action combat, not familiars

>>380062851
>implying there's a market for Monster Hunter on the PS4
The only kinds of games that sell on the PS4 are games like Fifa, Horizon, and generic multiplats. Most exclusives or other games don't sell at all. Nioh is an example of this.
Putting Monster Hunter on the PS4 would kill the series because it'd have lackluster sales. Most PS4 owners don't play games like that.

>>380062924
Boipucci fuckboi protagonist

>>380062747
Demons, dungeons and social interactions are not part of the average Japanese man's daily life.

>>380062924
The first one wasn't a masterpiece but it also wasn't shitty. It's definitely a game I'd replay.

This is how this will go with nip games being shown to a western audience. People will not give a flying fuck if anything other than a new From Software rpg is announced and go home underwhelmed. People will get straight up angry if From announces some cancer like VR shit. These are the only two outcomes.

>implying there's a market for Monster Hunter on the 3DS
The only kinds of games that sell on Super new mario bros, Smash bros, and generic indie platfforms. Most exclusives or other games don't sell at all. SMT is an example of this.
Putting Monster Hunter on the 3DS would kill the series because it'd have lackluster sales and awful controls. Most 3DS owners don't play games like that.

>>380063174
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nioh
>Nioh opened at number 2 in the UK sales charts.[63] Retailers Amazon and Walmart sold all their stock of Nioh within the first week of release.[64] It shipped 75,477 copies in its first week in Japan, entering the charts at number 2.[65] On February 24, 2017 Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja announced that Nioh had shipped one million units worldwide within its first two weeks of sale
Persona 5, Nier Automata, Bloodborne and Dark Souls III were also hits.

>>380063556
Monster Hunter 4 is the 12th best selling game on a console with most of the best franchises of all time on it.

The only people who play MH on 3DS are the ones who bought a 3DS for MH.

>>380062747
Maybe because they have shitty lives? I would play like a western alpha every day if I could.

>>380063556
Your analogy doesn't work because the exclusives and anything Nintendo-related are what sells on the 3DS. Monster Hunter is associated with Nintendo as much as it is Capcom when it comes to the 3DS games.

Look pal, I own a 3DS, also own every monster hunter game on it, I know what I'm talking about, at least in the west monster hunter will remain as a niche game and no platform will change that, so, your sales argument is just plain stupid

>>380064146
There's an extremely autistic guy who posts "they should make Ape Escape 4 instead of this" in every PS4 thread, ships the protagonist of the first Ape Escape and Kat from Gravity Rush and bothers drawfags with it, and generally has a very petulant and recognizable writing style that makes him very annoying.
People think that Ape Escape fans are an annoying vocal minority but in reality it's just him spending all day on 4chan.

>>380065335
>Literally look at any sales charts. The last few Monster Hunters sold better in the west than the east.
And yet it sold like shit compared to other games, my point is, regardless of how much sales MH has in the west or per iteration, that MH will sell like shit on any platform, so the sales argument is not valid, it is a niche game, almost nobody outside Cantonese imageboards talks about it

>>380063806

>>380064946

Literally none of them were ever exclusive to Sony.

They were all from franchises previously on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Name me the actual Playstation exclusive franchises (Bloodborne, Ratchet and Clank, Yakuza, Persona etc) that went to PC.

>>380067005

>>380067481
It's not my example. But I played Monster Hunter with the kind of people who still thought 4chan was a scary place back in my Junior and Senior years. This was back when 3U came out.
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find real life friends to make use of that local play with.

>>380067720

I don't fucking care about which console it ends up, I just freaking love Japanese games and this year is full of them. They're so many of them I want to play that they're going to leave me a backlog for the next 4 or 5 years.

Tekken is an arcade game, technically it was a PC game since it's birth, also later installments were on Xbox.

>>380068717
Nintendo has certainly turned to the dark side but this isn't exclusive to Nintendo. PS4 was a Bloodborne machine until this specific year.

>>380068510
No, they were also on Xbox

>implying there dudebros arent dying out

Lol even the most normiest of normies now know Dark Souls, a game that /v/ once heralded primarily because of its niche status. COD and the yearly sports game are quickly. That is a testament not to the improvement of user preference in games (normies eat up anything that's open world and has crafting), but just to the oversaturation of that market

>>380063174
>Nioh is an example of this
NiOh is an example of the exact opposite.

>>380070009
So /v/ hates Dark Souls because it's not niche anymore?
Also dudebros don't actually play Dark Souls, they like to name drop it because it makes them seem hardcore.

>>380070250
Not only they play it but they also stream it on Twitch and Youtube.

>>380075043
Monster Hunter moved from PS2 to PSP, not 3DS.

>>380061808
But most of those games start out on PS4. By your logic it's like ps4 chads being in a relationship with the girl you want for a couple of years until they leave her and she's all washed up and busted, so she dolls up a bit that someone throws a few bucks her way because her days of glory are already over.

Sony hopefully will show and give release dates on GoW, Spidermanps4 and LOUS 2. Idc about the new Call of duty or Destiny which will take up a bulk of their confedence. Japanese games if your into that might be cool, not myself but to each their own. Maybe we will see some new shit? Idk. Seems like E3 isn't needed anymore. Companies just release news all year round.

Also, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was also on 3DS, as well as being an expanded version of the Wii game.

MH fans alone can save a shitty console

>japanese gamers are coming back to consoles -console company
Wow if they say so it must be true.

>>380091927
That's not what I was talking about at all.

Sony NEVER shows Japanese games at their E3 press conference unless it's some Squeenix or Souls shit that tries to look western anyway

Microsoft this year was more anime than Sony ever was

>He also calls the Switch “a great success for Nintendo,” admitting “it’s definitely what the fanbase has been waiting for.” However, he sees the Nintendo console as more of a complementary traveler than a rival. “When you look at our numbers, I think it shows that a lot of gamers are a two-console family. And quite often those two consoles are PlayStation and Nintendo sitting side-by-side.”

Nintendo Sony friendship is BACK!

When someone "wins" don't we all win? Why do we even have these petty console wars when all we want is to play video games?

I know I'm using a lot of "we" talk, but if you don't like video games, what are you doing on this board?

I wonder what Sony will say about PS4 Pro now that Xbonx is revealed.
"Most powerful" is occupied.
Will they even bother talking about support for it? I guess Xbonx will make developers put a larger focus on both Xbonx and PS4 Pro.

GG was always on arcade and has some Xbox releases too

Play Rez Infinite and summer lesson

>>380092864
All these games are multiplat so everyone wins (except Nintendo)

>>380093395
Summer lesson is vastly inferior to VR kanojo. Literally nobody gives a fuck about Summer lesson

>>380060185
Haven't they said that before 2123327 times?
