How do you guys feel about Japan Studio?

Siren needs to come back.

I watched some British YouTuber review all three games. FS2 needs a remake since that looks like the best one.

I know Toyama is done with GR for a while, but he wants to make a new IP.

>>386343912
But Forbidden Siren...

Its legit top dog.

>>386344024
I know Toyama follows some of his fans on Twitter, maybe he can hear you, if it's possible.

>>386344108
Have you got a link to his Twitter?

I think its' the most generic and bland name for a company I've heard of

>>386344497
Actually, you're not wrong.

>>386344497
What name could they have had instead?

>>386343456
Lots of talent, but I honestly don't really find them making games I like all that much anymore, with a few exceptions. I know that Sony and Level 5's relationship got a bit strained over WKC2 underperforming, but since Inafune works for Level 5 now, is there a chance of a Soul Sacrifice sequel actually going ahead?

>>386343746
Play them, they're good. The original is a PS2 on PS4 title that often goes for like, $5 and Blood Curse isn't the kind of game that's gonna break your bank. The sequel never got a US release, but PAL copies aren't hard to find for a decent price. Or just emulate 1 and 2 if you're not fussy.

Though bear in mind a return to horror for him isn't all that likely. He gave an interview to Polygon a few years ago where he talked about the economics of making traditional horror games now and how it's quite difficult.

>"I've worked on horror for a long time," he replied, "so whenever I work on something different, I can't help but come up with new horror-oriented ideas. So I'd like to make another horror game someday, but the thing is, unlike in the past, I think it's become kind of hard to make horror games. To some extent, horror is a good match for the 'B' genre, in terms of taking advantage of low budgets for the maximum return and maximum quality. However, we're now in an environment where B-grade titles are simply being priced out of the retail-software market. I think making a pure horror AAA console title is going to be really difficult going into the future. Instead, if I have a chance to make something like Journey that you can complete in two or three hours, but still offers an intense horror experience, I'd love to try that."

>>386344741
Aren't Level 5 the ones being Yo-kai Watch and the Inazuma Eleven games?

I have no idea how the same Studio that could make Gravity Rush and Ape Escape could make Knack.

>>386344741
Also, Toyama appeared on one of those Toco Toco tourism guide videos last year. Worth a watch if you have ten minutes, he comes across as a pretty interesting guy.

And it's all thanks to Mark Cerny.

KNACK

Japan Studio is a huge studio comprising of about 400-500 employees all in different sub teams. They're working on about 6 or 7 different games at any one time.

>>386344940
I heard Dunkey likes Ape Escape, why won't he make a video solely about that?

>>386345070
He has a higher chance of doing that over finishing his Mario 64 playthrough

>Most watched Ape Escape video on yt is from fucking Game Theory

>>386344831
Yep. They used to be Sony's go-to guys for commissioning JRPGs in the PS2 through to the mid-PS3 era, but apparently their relationship soured quite a bit after Sony sunk a lot of money into White Knight Chronicles 2, which underperformed quite dramatically. Supposedly that game not selling is the reason Sony don't bother funding their own console JRPGs anymore.

>>386345283
So, now they make shota games.

Remember Tokya Jungle?

I love Siren so much.

>>386345592
What's your favorite thing about Siren?

They generally make pretty good games. Sadly, none of their Vita games will get continuations.

>>386345845
Except for Gravity Rush, but still.

Why does he look so frazzled?

>>386345883
>Gravity Rush 2
Heh. Freedom Wars needs a sequel or enhanced version or something. The premise was good, but the game sucked.

>>386346039
Maybe it's the heat

>>386345592
Never played them to be honest, but are there actual sirens in the game?

Remember Vib Ribbon?

Did anyone see the film?

>>386346451
Didn't even knew it existed

Anyone seen the Gravity Rush manga?

What the fuck was going on with Ape Escape?

>>386346386
I sure do love Mortal Kombat! Thanks Shawn Layden!

>>386347197
No problem, hope you enjoy Days Gone, fomr the same studio behind Busby 3D.

Was the Patapon re-release good?

Any news on the collab between let It Die and Gravity Rush?

>>386347982
yes

>>386348737
Better than the Parappa one?

>>386345592
blood curse is terrible

>>386348772
there was nothing wrong with parappa remaster

Needs a Soul sacrifice on ps4 and new ape escape

>>386349123
But how would they be made?

They're talented but inconsistent. They make lots of good creative games but also some shovelware too. It's strange for a studio that's so big and has been around for so long that they don't really have any “big” franchises, I know that's really not their thing but they should have one by now.

I'd probably have them like 3rd or 4th of the Sony studios

>>386349213
Wasn't Ape Escape their big franchise, at some point?

>>386349321
If it was big they would still be making them

>>386349354
They better make AE4 now

entirely dependent on your tv
if your tv has input lag the game will be difficult
like any rhythm game, but these are just much more unforgiving
parappa plays exactly like it did on ps1, patapon plays like a psp game

I plat'd parappa easily and I'm working on patapon
going through the settings on your tv will help significantly, turn off any post processing and make sure it's just scan or whatever your tv calls it
the info to reduce the lag of your tv model is easy to find online

>>386349680
Kinda wish they did all the Parappa games instead of just one

>>386344707
Electronic arts 2

they are clearly doing these one at a time due to not knowing if people even want them
LocoRoco 2 remaster was just announced on the ps blog a week or two ago
good chance for patapon 2 and 3,

>>386350010
I want Lammy to return

>>386350228
probably not gonna happen
all of the ports so far have been psp, ps2, ps3
they clearly aren't willing to do ps1 unless it's a full blown remake like Crash
and lammy is no where near the level of crash

>>386350674
That sucks

>>386343456
Loved Gravity Rush. Hope they make more.

>>386352539
I doubt it'll happen

I'm surprised Sony hasn't tried to milk the shit out of Soul Sacrifice.

>lose Monster Hunter
>make bretty gud Monster Hunter clone
>do fucking nothing with the newly established franchise
