not taking away from those FF games, FF7 was great and revolutionary. This isn't o man I'm a true JRPG so I look down on FF7. It was the first real 3d rpg. It started the fmv craze. It was more steampunk. Truth is it will always have a place in a lot of peoples hearts because it was there first, but at the same time it changed how JRPGs are made. IMO FF7 had better summons and deeper combat and great materia system. You know if they ever remade FF7 you would be one the first to buy it. The on...
or sandbox games?? lol
Amen
completely agree. Also look at blood of the bahamut and dragonquest 9. There is a lot of great coming out its just seems like alot of them are on handhelds. White knight will be good too. It just takes time. I remember when I bought a psone, and there were 0 jrpgs on it. All there was beyond the beyond. It took years for the rush to hit and psone is thought of the golden age of JRPGs.
@ stanlee ahh have you played valkirya chronicles or knights of knightmare, world ends with you, ar tonlico 2 or persona 4? prob not. lol
haha I enjoy life thank you very much. There is no prejudices here. Your right there is really nothing to go on to say its going to suck. There is also nothing here to say its awesome. There is only some small facts and info to go by. Kojima personal team is working on PW, which he is writing and directing himself. He is only producing Rising with some input. Which he did for metal gear acid which was totally different from MGS1-3 and not as good. So logical and common sense says that Rising ...
look no one is saying its going to suck. Its just goes from a must have and a masterpiece like MSG1-4, to just a good game rated prob around 8.0 to 8.5. Nothing wrong with that, but its not something to say ooo haha looks like you should have a 360 now just based off this one game.
Whats funny is the 360 only fans acting so ga-ga over it when they still don't have MSG4 and its not a true sequel. You know they would do the same if something happened with mass effect or gears of w...
gosh dang you were wrong on so many levels.
First of MGS rising is not MGS5. When it was announced and people blindly thought it was a 360 only game all MGS PS3 only fans were bummed. Then they find out that kojima is actually working on another MGS game and a true sequel to MGS in fact one to MGS3 and is not only directing it but writing it, and has very little involvement in rising. Of course MGS fans will want PW over Rising. No fanboys biased here. IF they make a sequel to t...
this is a pretty cool idea. however I think people need to take a step back. I mean Milo looked cool, but it was also made by the guy who said fable was going to be the best RPG ever made. Also I remember people saying the wii was going to change everything and in reality it really didn't change that much how games are being played. Now everyone has to admit if this is used correctly it could change everything however I still feel you at least still need a controller. How many games do you pl...
tell me about it dude. I have the same thing. Its a great problem though. I also have a DS so its double fold for me. I still have to beat super robot taisen, and knights of nightmare is about to come out:) However I much rather be like this with something always good to play in my free time, than starve for new games. Which you know who thinks PS3 owners do. lol
sigh ok,
well PS3 owners already got killzone 2. Infamous next week. Cross edge,demon souls, and white knight story for JRPG lovers. Uncharted 2. Rachet and Clank a crank in time, MAG. Ninja Gaiden sigma 2. Get ghostbusters first. hopefully heavy Rain in 09. Tales of vesperia upgrade. New altier Iris game. Two new Nippon ichi games, one of which you get to play as past disgea characters games in 3D. Throw in all the other great games that are multiplatform. Brutal legend, king of...
ahhh ok how about valkirya chronciles, valkrye profile DS, Suikoden DS, Cross Edge, Persona 4, Super Robot Wars Taisen, Disgea 3, knights of nightmare, Eternal sonata.
How about a when we get a FPS or shooter game where the guy doesn't have a buzz cut or bold, doesn't talks or when he does says the F-bomb every three seconds. Wait thats uncharted. lol
umm you wouldn't say that if you knew what happens when a new Dragon quest, monster hunter,yakuza, DW game drops. All I have to point to is look what the PS3 did when just a demo of FF13 came out there. lol nuff said.
I was just stating that not all Japanese devs make wierd or party games on the wii. The Japanese still make great games and big hits. All because a game doesn't sell well doesn't mean its not great ( see valkirya chronciles and okami) Plus he is dead wrong on his ignorant statement that people in the west want Japanese games.
right in that part he wasn't talking about great games coming out of Japan he was talking about how it used to be a monopoly from Japan for games. Not so anymore. He wasn't saying there wasn't a place anymore for Japanese games, he was just saying now the west has gotten it together and is way ahead for graphic engines. Thats why square was buying the rights to use the unreal engine. This gen at first the west pumped out a lot more games and set the bar for visual graphics. It always takes s...
flopping? really? so MGS4, resident evil 5, street fighter 4, devil may cry 4, ninja gaiden 2, and love them or hate them all of the DW games and spin offs all sold bad? huh? do you even now which games are made by the Japanese?
your right, Japanese devs need to something new, however something new isn't taking old western ideas and implanting them into their games. They can't beat the west at their own game. They need to do what they do best. Besides I believe Japanese devs do try something new all the time. Shadow of the colossus, katamari damacy, noby noby boy, ace attorney, valkirya chronicles, knights of nightmare, no more heroes, okami, the list goes on and on. Several of them this year. Truth is the west reall...
you missed the context of what kojima meant by that. He was talking about why the west don't open themselves up more to eastern style games. Saying to solve this maybe he should stop being japanese. 1up totally got it backwards.
I'm more sad about where the west is heading in gaming. Look at all the gears of war or call of duty rip offs out there. The best rpg last year from the west was a FPS/RPG hybrid.
Japan has tons of great games out and still coming. Square e...
I can't stand people who think or look down on other stuff just because they dont get it. I bet he thinks fallout 3 was a masterpiece. IMO this guy has never played that many JRPGs to begin with. I bet he has never played the shadow heart games or the persona series. Fallout 3 could be beaten in 10 hours and really underdeveloped. The game was good, but the story not so. This guy prob played the final fantasy games and the "next" gen games on the 360 from square enix. Even then tale...
IMO the only reason why these people say JRPGs need to go are 360 or pc only fanboys. Here me out. I hate FPS but I don't want them to just totally go away. Why would you want a genre to totally go away? well because its associated with a type a person or fan of a console. If JRPGS go away then everybody would be forced to play the next best thing WRPG's and they are really only on 360 and the PC so they "win" or whatever. Anyway just a stupid thought..
