Why is it that people with predominately Japanese taste in games are so defensive. Also, why so derisive of Western games when there are countless masterpieces produced in the West? Kojima speaks the truth in regards to Japanese developers failing on a technical level. I can not remember seeing a visually impressive Japanese game in many years. Additionally, I haven't exactly seen the steady stream of original gameplay concepts that I have come to expect thanks to previous console generations. Finally, Kojima is also correct about Japanese developers failing to appeal to a wider audience. However I disagree with his sentiment that they should try to do so. I personally think that Japanese developers should continue to create unique experiences without Western influence, I just think they should do a much better job of it. Typically they either ignore the Western world which is bad for business (but good for original game design) or they pander to what they think their Western fans want which ends up being uninspired at best and insulting at worst.
