Has Japan gotten over its lack of self-confidence yet? Around

pick one

Western games are still better and more popular, altough we sometimes get gems like Dark Souls.

>Talentless loser claims everyone else is shit at making video games

>>387593582

Before being forced out, Inafune was a top dog at Capcom. He instituted these policies and hired these companies.

>>387593591

The biggest biggest sellers are Nintenbro and Western big series typically. Everyone else is stuck in middle ground areas.

>>387593408
>Inafune

Who?

Japanese games are as good as they always were. Yakuza games coming out, new Dragon Quest next year, Persona recently, etc.

His comments made headlines at the time, and he instituted policies that are still at work at Capcom.

wow, they sure are a great standard. Oh wait, they've been fucking jokes since the 7th generation

>>387593591
I didn't play good western game for several years now, of course when we are talking about AAA titles. Last one that gave me enough fun was Black Flag, because it was very good pirate game. We have time when companies release unfinished products to meet the corporate heads timelines. Best example could be Skyrim, which, as I recall, had last patch number 1.9 or something like that. At least when I played Persona 5 lately product was already polished to perfection.
Internet is what made vidya shitty, right now everyone can add autopatcher to their game and throw out hastily slapped together piece of shit and milk out some dosh, then take year or two to fix games. Mostly corporate idea to relieve most of the team to move to another project and keep the money flowing. Fuck, I hate capitalism.

>>387593950
So you're saying that the current state of capcom and why they've gone full jew with their fighting games is his doing?

>>387594285

Inafune pushed for outsourcing. That is still happening at Capcom. A lto of the derpy models in their latest fighting games are outsourced.

I wish the ace attorney series would learn from that magazine.

Explain.

>These are companies that have been at it for years.
Video game development has existed in the USA longer than it has in Japan. You're talking about trash Canadian devs.

>>387595661

After the crash, American gaming companies had to rebuild. Console Western devs weren't anything special in the 80's and 90's. It was only on PC that there was innovation. It wasn't until the 00's when American devs got great.

>trash Canadian devs

That's true. They tend to be the worst. They use Canadian devs because of the dollar exchange rate allows them to save money. Not because they're any good.

they break through the mold sometimes like the recent Rayman games and pic related

>>387593408
It was somewhat true at the time Inafune made that statement but now Western devs are such complete trash that Japan has easily surpassed them yet again.

Western games are absolute, fucking trash.

>>387594336
Capcom has always, I repeat: -ALWAYS- outsourced game development with their own IPs The first game to bear their logo on the NES was a port they outsourced to Micronics.

What Inafune did with his clout was push for specifically western outsourcing. This is pretty clear in his rants where the message is "Japan < West" and his only possibly sensible argument ever was sales. Otherwise it was every bit the business and self justification you would probably see from a person trying to sell an idea rather than making sensible arguments to form a conclusion.

He certainly didn't go hunting for creative upstarts like he implied. Blue Castle, Ninja Theory and Spark Unlimited made their revenue on side projects or exclusively licensed titles.

>>387595984
>recent Rayman games
>Canadian
It was made in Montpellier, France.

>>387593408
How was inafune involved in Dead Rising? That game was clearly a big hit. He couldn't have been too deeply involved right?

>>387598218

Producer, created the vague general idea (zombies, America, mall), and pushed for the game to be made. He had a prototype made which cost so much he figured Capcom would have to grenlight it to get their money back. Capcom said it's his ass if the game fails. It ended up being a hit.

He's decent if he's a middle manager. It's when eh gets higher than that he goes full retard.

>>387598386
Sweet thanks for replying

>>387593408
that discussion was mostly about tech, and it's true, japan was indeed behind on tech and in some ways they are still catching up on things like not tying tick rates to frame rates unless you will actually guarantee 60fps performance. but for the most part the tech issue was solved by everybody buying unreal engine licenses and learning how to work with it

>>387593408
Doesn't matter, Japan has been tainted by the Jew bug and soon their games will ne the same shit as the West.

>>387599057

>unreal meem

It's a meme engine, and the ones created by the Japanese were far superior. Platinum's in-house engine, Capcom's MT Frameworks and RE engines, Konami's Fox Engine, are all better. The ideal is inhouse. Meme engines like Unreal are just for cheap low quality dev teams.

>>387599361
MT was good, it's vastly outdated now, all the others are pure garbage. just because you like the games doesn't make the tech good

They think Phil Fish is a major respected voice in Western gaming and are trying to win his approval

>>387593408
Ha! The grass is alwasy greener.

Unlike his games I presume.

>>387593408
Japs are fucking retarded and unable to properly appreciate their own skills that they work hard for. There could be some of that thing going on where when you're good at something you tend to underestimate yourself and assume everyone else can do things as well as you can.
