Lots. Sonic, Metroid, Castlevania, Dead Rising, Devil May Cry, Shinobi, Lost Planet, Dead to Rights...

I haven't played a single one of those, I guess the quality drops I've seen in some Japanese IP's is purely down to the Japanese developers then. I had a gut feeling Resident Evil 5 was developed in the West, but I guess not.

And the wests curse is it focuses too much on shooters and games for the west.

I dont see a problem with diversity in thought, artistic expression, ect

Games like ni no kuni, paper mario, REXX, persona 4 golden, ect they just arent made in the west, and thats a big issue. Every rpg is either realistic, action rpg, or both.........

Hell alot of western indies look for japan for inspiration, because they see different things. Is that bad?

I think the more regional diversity the better.

And I am not sure how he can say that, although I guess it isnt his direct team, but ZOE, very very japanese, will be awesome, giant battling robots

Why dont you say the entire story

5+ sonic jp developed games

5+ vanias by japan

dead rising was west

1 jpn dmc and 1 west

shinobi was japan

ect

Nope, it wasn't. And play Dead Rising now!

Because he asked what Japanese IPs had been worked on by westerners this generation, so I named a few, but if you want to be more exhaustive, then feel free. But FYI Shinobi 3D was developed by Griptonite, an American developer. I don't know of any other Shinobis that came out this gen. And Bioware made that godawful Sonic RPG.

It felt like it was.

I've played Dead Rising, I was barely conscious but I remember putting drill buckets on zombies' heads.

Yeah its been just like every other gen where sometimes the west is thrown a japanese bone......

its not really indicative of anything
