Forums - Gaming - Michael Pachter: ‘I Don’t Get Japanese Developers’

twilight_link on 15 April 2013

western developers converted videogaming to tool for political ends, no wonder bestselling games are either military shooters or simulator of dysfunctional society, the Japanese development on the other hand is centered around entertainment, no wonder he can't understand Japanese gaming, because he is part of this political agenda.

Bashing Nintendo is part of this, simply because they can be successful and remain outside of this orthodoxy.

Lol.

Since two of the three consoles makers are Japanese, he's basically saying he doesn't understand 50% of his job.

O, Pachter :)

go back to school, and this time try not to ditch math class

My math skills are fine.

The reason i used 50%, is because one of those two, Sony, is not entirely japenese orientated.

Nintendo is far more grounded in Japanense culture (then all three), since NOJ is calling all the shots. Sony has a fully fleshed out American or European part. So i didn't count Sony as purely under Japenese influence. Hence the 50%.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

To be honest i dont get them either, and they often piss me off for not bringing their games to the west. If not only to build a fanbase and relationship with the customer. Its beyond me, but probably because they are Japanese, that they dont realise this. The less games that get released, the few costumers they will enter a relationship with. In short, they really have no clue about business. I dunno what they teach on those Japanese management universities.

I know that in the case of square and FF7 it was Wada that was stubburn. I'm pretty sure they will do it under the new management.

there was a really good article posted in the vita thread a few months back about why many japonese games don't get ported west.  it was really interesting and really highlighted why many games can't leave japan.


The Vita official thread is endless by now. Theres no way im gonna go through all of it to find it now.

Either tell me the gist of it or give me a link.

The problem isn't with Japanese developers, it's with the gamers. They only seem to want the same games over and over again. Whenever something new and interesting comes out, (that isn't some strange hentai title) it gets completely ignored in favor of the 27th Dragon Quest or the 3rd rerelease of a Monster Hunter game that came out 4 years ago.

I don't think you realy know what hentai is.


LOL.

Fusioncode clearly doesn't know what Hentai is. Each series only has like an average of 3 episodes. and each series is completely different from all the others.

Plus it's adults only.

I just can't help but LOL at fusioncode comment.

I find that the dummer a person is, the smarter they think they are. The joke he made was that 
"Whenever something new and interesting comes out"

Wasn't the title of a hentai movie, in reference to a penis or a fallic object I would imagine.
