| Ryuu96 said: Meh. Lol. He's a Japanese developer. Unless all you're asking for is JRPGs...Japanese developers can be diverse too, Lol. I wouldn't call him an exception, unless we start saying "not you, not you, etc" and we're down to a very specific list of what Japanese developers actually count... Kojima, despite the dislike for him here, is a really influential fella with a lot of friendships in Japan as well, if Xbox treats him well then that would do good things for helping their standing in the Japanese developer community. Anyways, they didn't hire those XGSP Producers in Japan specifically just for Kojima...Fairly obvious more Japanese Publishing deals will come eventually. |
I was just saying this, because usually when we talk about Japanese developers, we mean certain genres, that are lacking on Xbox. Not only JRPGs, but also VNs, strategy games, rhythm games, shooters (bullet hell), etc. Kojima, FromSoft, maybe other developers, they are not making games that gameplay-wise are not possible to make by Western devs or the games unlike most of the genres that I mentioned. So it's not worthy to being Kojima or FromSoft into discussion here. Yes, Kojima is a very talented and unique developer. A Hideo Kojima game is a Hideo Kojima game. But because he is a man brand himself, he knows that he can be successful on any platform. And btw, we are yet to see what scale his Xbox game has. Is it a huge game like Death Stranding which he did with PlayStation or something a lot smaller?
