IGN: Worlds collide, etc.
"It's very...Japanese." This used to be a lazy way of saying something was weird. Now it speaks volumes about what to expect from an experience, whether you're American, European, Antarctican, whatever. To the gaming literate, each game carries a distinct cultural stamp that identifies it in numerous ways; as time goes on the line differentiating what's "western" and what's "Japanese" is getting blurrier.
Grasshopper Manufacture's Shadows of the Damned returns this year with a remaster, and Hardcore Gamer got to talk with Suda51 about it, among other things...
If you're looking for 'must have' PSVR 2 games then look no further. These are the 10 titles every PSVR 2 owner should have in their library.
If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.
Speak with your wallet!
I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.
GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.
I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.
I have most of them 😅
Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that the multiplatform title Resident Evil 4 has sold over 7 million units worldwide approximately one year after its release.
actually I'm bit angry that this is happening that jap devs are being forced to appeal to the west or in many ways they (now) aren't getting good sales (mostly).. , while many games in west are like hollywood blockbusters with explosions and guns, fitness pumped mans and curse words... and those games are getting bigger and bigger audience, sometines I think that new generation of players will be CODers and HALOers...those type of games don't force to think and use brain very much and that online things...
I hope that I'll never see a day when Okami wolf or Katamari ball will be with machinegun or something like that, I hope you understand what I want to say... I love good weird and quirky games
I find it strange to mention Metal Gear in this article, ive played the series since the first one on the MSX, and Metal gear actually became less western since then.
The first two had barely any japanese influence in it, and since MGS it started to contain more quirky things, which is typically Japanese.
I enjoyed most of the Metal gear games, but to claim that it westernised is a bit strange, it always been western, and got less western from MGS and up.
Every time I read an "OFFICIAL" article from one of these gaming sites, in relation to the westernization of Japanese games, it's never objective! The writer's states that you can tell a western game from a Japanese game, which couldn't be futher from the truth, if you really pay attention! It's apparent the writer is one of those people who thinks the westernization of Japanese games, is a good thing. The only thing I'll give him credit for is noting that Dragon's Dogma is a westernized style game. The rest of this article is irrelevant, there is NOTHING good or "ambitous" (as so many of these "so called professionals, keep repeating) about Japan making westernized style games! If all the games, released are of a similar type, in either gameplay or look. The game industry is finished! There is a reason Japanese games, dominated the PS2 era because they were diverse, no 2 games, were the same! That's what Japan, needs to stick to, as it's needed more now, than ever!

I miss Game Republic...I wanted Folklore 2 and I want a TRUE DMC5!!!
