Forums - Gaming Discussion - Japanese games industry is dying: Says Itagaki

To be fair, most of the crap probably doesn't make it out of Japan. I assume most Western crap doesn't make it to Japan either.


what im saying is look at the top franchises in the west, cod, fifa, madden, and assasins creedd they get milked a lot. cod to an extent where they are desperate at a point where they bring a remote control kamikazi car as a kill streak. you dont see a metal gear solid game coming every year, or a resident evil game. 

i feel that japanese devs put more love and time into their games. yes they make some games noob friendly like ff13 or resident evil 5 but you cant blame when they are loosing money. on the other hand activision is making profit just because of cod.

japanese devs dont make fps games or pc games. so lets just say that they dont buy them to have an opinion on them.

if japanese devs leave the industry many people on this forum will be sad. because most of them are rpg/actio adventure fans.

but the 360 gamers woudnt mind.

What did you mean by 360 gamers would not mind?

I love rpg:s and some action-adventure games.

I don't think it's entirely true. Western devs may milk titles, yes, but Eastern publishers will do so as well. Look at Pro Evolution Soccer by Konami. Or the countless remakes Square-Enix releases.Or FFXIIIvs or XIII Agito. Or Nintendo's constant use of the 'Wii' franchise to sell games.

Also, if I remember rightly, Activision are making tons of revenue but only just making profit... Blizzard's the one raking in the cash for them.

JRPGs could die as long as get my Ninja Gaiden's, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, God Hand. Those games are awesome. JRPG are so BORING.


good jrpgs are not borings

and not many gamers like all the fire,fire,fire,attack,attack,attack things

So what do you do in ninja gaiden, dmc, bayonetta or jrpg:s?  You don't.. attack things? Or is it that you think shooting things is lame but hack'n'slash is cool?

then again, look at ufc, madden, fifa, nba games. both milk a lot its true. looks like you got me their.

but japanese devs dont dont have cod so well let them pass by with a cookie.

Bayonetta sold 700k on ps3 and 650k on 360.  SF4 sold 1,45m on 360 and 1,71m on ps3. I think that tekken is kind of a ps-franchise. The only non ps-version of the game is the 360-version.

But yeah, hack'n'slash.. the first game comes in to my mind is DMC. 1,25m on 360 and 1,31m on ps3.



Japan needs to remember what it does best.

Stop imitating the west and do what you do best... All Japanese developers (especially Capcom) need to play Bayonetta to see the creativity and awesomeness that can only come from Japan.
