Clearly he avoided the Vanquish booth so he wouldn't run into Mikami.

Pretty much. Japan were slow to start this generation I think, but they have some incredible looking titles coming over the next couple of years.DevilWillcry said:The worst games I saw from TGS were all Crapcom games. What the fuck were they thinking with dmc? I suppose MvC3 looks alright. What a tragic joke Inafune has turned Capcom into. I bet Mikami and Kamiya are laughing their asses off right now at Platinum Games while Capcom shovels out another outsourced piece of shit. Namco at least announced a spiritual sequel to Demon's Souls and brought a new Tekken Tag to the table. Level 5 showed an awesome looking RPG with Studio Ghibli production assistance. Konami's new Castlevania had a very impressive showing as did Sega's Vanquish. Then there was The Last Guardian (AKA the saving grace of HD gaming in Japan :lol). Capcom is the last studio to be pointing fingers at the Japanese gaming industry.
vectorman06 said:Nope. They'll turn it into an FPS game with bulky Megaman using a hand gun.
On Home consoles, sure. But if you look at handhelds, many of them are in fantastic shape. Squeenix in particular, where their HD efforts have been disastrous while their Handheld have been making bank.cooljeanius said:I liked this part of the article: Nintendo always seems to be the exception in these East vs. West discussions. Yet Japanese 3rd parties keep trying to emulate Western developers and failing, while they might have better luck if they tried to emulate Nintendo.

That's because Sega has all of Capcom's talent now :lolY2Kev said:I'm so sick of this clown. His company pumps out trash while he bitches about Japanese development. Nintendo's lapping you so fast the planet is going back in time. Even Sega's running laps around your sinking ship, dunce.

This is correct. Credits to Platinum Games too.Seda said:It's because Nintendo was a no show at TGS.
Wow... you'd think if EA were funding the game it would be reasonable to receive status updates on the project every now and then...Gribbix said:Mikami's comment on working with EA in the same article is kind of interesting:

pyros said:I think a company which optimises gaming, (this is a personal view, so don't get into a huff gaf), wasn't even there.
CaptYamato said:So is Inafune the Japanese equivalent of a Weeaboo? Thinks everything is better here yet won't leave his country.
This is true but it seems like Inafune is calling out Japanese publishers in general on things that Capcom has yet to get a solid handle on like outsourcing. Castlevania is being overseen and promoted by one of the biggest industry figures in Japan and I'm sure that has something to do with the positive buzz the game is getting. Capcom is just throwing a bunch of shit at western devs and hoping something is a hit. There's a right way of doing things and then there's how Inafune does things :/Takao said:While I agree with you on most things in that post, that's basically what Inafune is talking about. Lords of Shadow is developed in Spain, and is more Western in appeal than previous Castlevania series.
cosmicblizzard said:Japan's deadlines are more lax than America's? That seems kind of strange.
dvolovets said:If there's one thing I don't understand, it's the "Western game designers are inherently better than Japanese game designers" mindset. It seems very deeply ingrained in the game dev culture in Japan. Why are they so intimidated by the Gears of War/Mass Effect approach? Every culture has something to offer, and the fact that some aspects don't appeal to the Western crowd doesn't make it worse...why isn't anyone talking about the lukewarm reception of Western games, especially first-person shooters, in Japan? I understand that the US is the biggest videogame market, but that doesn't mean everyone should conform to the tastes of its consumers. I'm not aware of Inafune's previous comments on this issue, though -- what's up with him, anyway?
Bebpo said:You're talking about a country where all the big games take 3-5 years as opposed to 2 years in the west. The feeling I've always gotten is they're more "when it's done" although obviously there are general timeline goals.

eznark said:So he saw dmc? That's good.
thetrin said:Lately, he's basically been down on Japanese development completely. He basically talks like Japan is going to sink into the ocean.
It's not. Don't confuse the statements of a few very vocal Japanese developers as being representative of the whole.dvolovets said:If there's one thing I don't understand, it's the "Western game designers are inherently better than Japanese game designers" mindset.
