Capcom producer agrees Japan sucks now

The japanese need to study doom.

Not to say I am a fan of GTA, but I'd love to see this catch on more with the Japanese developers. If we got some quality sandbox titles with a Japanese twist (think:demons, ninjas, magic, robots, little bunny things) that would be great.

Don't forget the horny tentacle monsters!

I'd play a tentacle rape sim. XBLA pls.

Really, they do.

I have to disagree with this. Western development never sucked(people tend to focus too much on console gaming and forget the old computer and arcade Western classics). Modern Western gaming isn't just a case of learning from Japan. Influence has always gone both ways. Japan still makes a lot of innovative and quality games too.

Yeah, I find it interesting that he says Japan needs to "start" learning from the west. Japan has historically borrowed much from the West. RPGs, Platform games, and Adventure games in particular are a definite result of ideas traveling across national borders. Resident Evil absolutely wouldn't exist without Alone in the Dark, Dragon Quest wouldn't exist without Ultima, Pac-Land wouldn't exist without Pitfall.

Has everyone forgotten the greatness that is GOD HAND?

You should all be groveling at CAPCOM's feet for bequeathing such a treasure upon us.

For shame.

Clover sucked. Good riddance. Capcom is a better company now than they were when Clover existed. It's addition by subtraction.

I like Japanese games that are actually games. I dislike the current trend in Japan which sees Wii Sports and mini-game collections vastly outselling Twilight Princess; Brain Training and Nintendogs vastly outselling Metal Gear Solid's, Yakuza's, Blue Dragon's, Lost Planet's, and even Final Fantasy's. I could make a stupid joke about Japan needing a "Common Sense Training," but they actually have one.

Funny how you mention Blue Dragon, because it's exactly what's wrong with Japanese developers. By all accounts it is a SNES RPG with pretty graphics. Sure the Japanese and F-chans will eat it up but come the fuck on. It's 2007. That shit needs to stop.
