He's only saying that because he knows we want to hear that and earn our respect. I don't want to play interactive movies and glitchfests every day. Japanese games are the only games I play (Dark Souls, Bayonetta, Ni no Kuni, Monster Hunter, Nintendo games). His lastest game Soul Sacrifice doesn't look like any western title out there. It looks like a good polished game focussed on gameplay and I would like to play it more than any western title I can think of. Unfortunately I'm not going to buy a PSVita. |
There are more Japanese glitchfests than western ones. They have fallen behind big time dude. Inafune isnt in denial or sucking up to westerners. He understands what sells and keeps and open mind how to evolve as an artist. Luckily the youth of Japan are more open minded than the older generation or we would be in for a hard time.

I wonder what is so good from western devs that Inafune keeps insisting on this topic... Are they behind on graphics? story telling? Gameplay?
Most Japanese devs are working on limited budgets, yet they still deliver some of the best games on the market.

The Japanese outside of a small amount of devs are behind yes in graphics, gameplay, story telling. Last gen it was the west that was behind and especially in RPG's The way in which you game is one thing, but to as time passes the seamless nature of playing was still almost as good as the gen before. The animations only moved up slightly outside of cinematics. Stories have actually gotten worse and the better technology becomes the more complex and realistic a process becomes. This is where the Japanese have fallen behind. Kojima Productions are probably the only Japanese studio I have seen thus far that has met next gen standards and managed to do it in a way that does affect gameplay.
