For Arcades...In Japan.
Capcom has announced that Street Fighter IV will be rolling out to Japanese arcades on July 18. That's less than a month! If you're not Japanese, don't let it get you down. Because for Americans, it'll also be available to play at Comic-Con on July 24-27
In an interview, SEGA Sound Team lead composer Tomoya Ohtani revealed that Sonic’s global music success didn’t come from chasing trends overseas.
I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.
What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.
What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “
Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.
The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson
But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free
Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.
I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.
The previously arcade cabinet-only Ridge Racer title, Rave Racer, to be released on Switch and Switch 2 this month.
Run the maze, dodge the Ghosts, and chase high scores in this real-life Pac-Man experience.
They made it fast. Will it come out in the holiday? If so then the Wii will keep being snubbed by the harcore gamers, even if it gets an inferior port with no online play, last-gen graphics and gimmicky controls.
sweet will be able to hear comments about this game soon enough...see if it lives up to the previous ones
Hmm, even though this game has disappointed me so much (HUGE Streetfighter fan btw), I still look forward to its console release. You'll probably see me online everyday in SF4 then, until Capcom says Tatsunoko vs Capcom is coming to a console (PS3) with online play then SF4 can go to hell.
Ok this makes the trip to Comic Con a MUST! the rest in the show will just be a plus... jejeje
I wish arcades weren't dead here
