Forums - Gaming Discussion - Japanese trailers are terrible for japanese games, but awesome for western games. (Though the evidence I gave is just fume)

That's the conclussion I've found after watching the new Dragon's Dogma Online trailer:

Then afterwards watching the Nathan Drake Collection trailer: (EDIT: but wait, this was done by westerns, then subbed by japanese people, as TrollWhisperer proved >:[ )

Thoughts?! On the idea itself, not on what I presented xD

I disagree. Both sides are capable of producing exciting trailers. For example; a recent one comes to mind.

It's interesting that you liked this one. I looked at it with apathy, for some reason. Got much more excited when they released the gameplay footage than with the trailer itself.



Are you kiddin me? Japanese trailers are better than western trailer on average, because they remember its a game. Its very common for western trailers to be complete CGI/plot without a trace of gameplay.

Maybe that's the way it used to be (or maybe I haven't watched that many japanese trailers nowaday), but CGI is overused even by japanese companies nowadays.

I actually agree with you based on the evidence being presented at this time. 



 

I thought the Dragon's Dogma commercial was very good! (it's not a trailer)

Not a applicable comparison, but both were well done.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

What I took away from the Dragon's Dogma ad is that they would've had an easier time if they used the PS4s party system, a few headsets, and discussed what was going on. Instead they apparently lost, texted about it, then got back in and won.



That trailer for the Nathan Drake collection is not Japanese, it's the regular Western story trailer with a Japanese dub.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
