Playstation being American-ised is bad for the market, I think

[Fei-Hung]

Can't help but disagree. This gen so far after this so called "Americanisation" we've been given:

1) Astro's Playroom - plays like an old skool platformer from the N64 era. As Japanese as it can get.

2) Little Big Adventure - as above.

3) Returnal - classic old skool Shmup but brought masterfully to present day presentation and gameplay. Has huge nods to the likes of Retype and Gradius and similar Japanese games.

4) Sifu - old skool beat em up like SoR, DD etc with an old skool Chinese martials arts story and presentation.

5) FF16 - JRPG

6) Ghostwrire Tokyo - Japanese Ghostbusting horror action.

7) GT7

8) Stray - cats, puzzle platforming, small quirky gameplay elements like scratching sofa's, carpets, knocking shit over and a dedicated "meow" button. The game is as unAmerican as it can get.

9) Kena - plays like a next gen Zelda.

The you have the cross Gen games like:

1) Takes of Arise
2) GoT directors cut
3) lost judgement
4) like a dragon
5) FF7R & Intergrade
6) DMC 5
7) Scarlet Nexus

And then list of hardcore JRPGs

Furthermore we are still getting:

1) Forspoken
2) FF7 part 2
3) New Ys
4) RE8 VR

Plenty of unAmericanised games and I would argue Sony is probably the biggest at this. Most of the big Sony games like Horizon, GOW, LBP, R&C, Returnal, GOT etc have no MTs, Loot boxes, gamepasses.

The games either support DLC or have free expansions / content.

GT7 which probably has the most Americanised MTs still releases free content every month and will for the life time duration of the game.
