Forums - Gaming - Why Are there no Alternate History games in which Japan Wins the Pacific war?

Are there any in a dark corner somewhere?

I would understand why this would not interest Japanesse developers...But there is anime with somewhat alternate history where japan is still winning or atleast still fighting...but I have yet to find one that is subtittled or translated and they seem to be animated dramatizations of how it would of been had the japanesse stratergy worked or if the had more time beofre the Nuke bombings.....But Why no games..I would sure love to play one..I'm so super hyped that World of Tanks came to Xbox, gives me hope that World Of Warplanes might come to Xbox One...am I crazy to be amped to play as Impirial japanesse planes?

 

Anyone know if such games exists?

If they'd won, they wouldn't have invaded the US. They'd have retained their Chinese and other Asian land conquests and probably not resemble modern Japan at all. So the setting would look like any current game set in China most likely.

 



Well, I can't really remember many games with alternate war history in general. There was homefront, with the scenario that the two Korea's united and invaded the U.S. In most game we play as the allies in general.

errmm...Right....But not the response I was looking for...Anyhow...Chinesse film and tv makers have a niche industry when it comes to alternate results of them fighting japan...Well most are based on resisting the occupation and focus at making the Impirial Japanesse forces evil...but chinesse people love it...I don't know if you seen any of it...it's halarious..I mean It's okay for japan to focus on acurate historical films but why no alternate history games like western devs & erou devs do with the Nazi's...I mean I have yet to hear about a alternate history pacific war game at all...



 



There was one for the 3DO (ain't no corner darker than that one).
