If it weren't for Nintendo, I'd pick the US any day of the week

But Japan has Nintendo, so...

There haven't been many revolutionary games this generation, period. The ones I can think of right off the bat are Portal and Nintendo's "casual" line of Wii games.

PS. I'm not including PSN and XBL games. There have been a few revolutionary offerings from developers of smaller games. I'm also not including handhelds because I just don't feel like listing all the weird games that have been offered on the DS/PSP.

In short, I think it goes Nintendo>Western devs>all other Japanese devs


The poll wasnt about revolutionary games though.

J-Man, why won't you do fair thing to do, and also highlight the games that S.T.A.G.E mentioned in his posts that are also not released yet? ;)

Because he made a list of games coming out next year because someone else said that "blah blah" is coming out next year and because of this "blah" japan wins..........read the post.

Oh, I've read it don't worry, because if you look closely, I was having an exchange with him at that time ;) I just wanted to point out that in order to keep fairness that should be done as well, but then again, this thread was never about fairness in the first place :P

Is there another list(too lazy to check)....but the recent one is definitely fair...hes listing games coming out next year...

The list that you edited about japanese games, also has games coming out next year ;)

Of course Japan makes better games.

Look at the greats!

Nintendo
Sony
Konami
Capcom
Tecmo
Square Enix


Let's not even get into all of the small developers either.

Oh my, I sure do love a good list war!

Japan:
- Metroid Prime 3

 

just thought I'd point this out.... you realize the entire Metroid Prime series was made in the US, right?  That Retro Studios is in Texas?

This is a silly discussion, at this point, since many of the posters don't even appear to know where some of the major titles in their "lists" were created.

only one game i have was made by japanese developers,and i find it quite weird sometimes



"They will know heghan belongs to the helghast"

"England expects that everyman will do his duty"

"we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

Japan:
- MGS4

- Final Fantasy XIII
- Final Fantasy Versus XIII
- Bayonetta
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Legend of Zelda Wii
- Professor Layton Series
- Resident Evil 5
- Metroid Prime 3
- Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
- Legend of Zleda: Spirit Tracks

- White Knight Chronicles
- White Knight Chronicles 2
- Resonance of Fate
- Tales of Vesperia
- Tales of Graces
- FFCC: The Crystal Bearers
- Tekken 6
- Soul Calibur 4

Japan has done pretty DAMN good this gen. Not as well as previous gens, but a lot better than many people think. Some of the highest rated games thus far this gen have come from Japan (Super Mario Galaxy, MGS4, Twilight Princess).

If the majority of your list is unreleased games(red) and subpar games(green) then we definitely have a problem with the statement that japan has made the best games this gen.

Fixed

Final Fantasy XIII, and Bayonetta are both out in Japan and have very high reviews.

Reasonance of Faith isn't out yet, and WKC got rather average reviews

How can something be good to you if youve never played it?

You're telling me that all the games that you listed as white you have played?

And no like I said in my post I am going by reviews

No...games in white are games that have already been released.....wait are we talking about my white or your bolded white?

I don't know. I was just saying that Bayonetta got several scores over nine, and FFXIII got a Famitsu score of 39. You had them as unreleased that is all I changed

We're going around in circles :P S.T.A.G.E also said that western developers wins this gen and listed games that are coming out next year, like GOW III, Alpha Protocol and Mass Effect 2.

I'm not saying that either list is correct, if we are going to compare in this particular gen so far, we should only use games that are released, yet I was only pointing that out due to fairness.

And that's my point in this discussion ;)
