Hm, for a PS4-exclusive game all about the combination gore and girly fan service I kinda expected the graphics to look a little better.

TitanUp3250d ago

Japanese developers are behind on technology but their games are still fun to play.

Roccetarius3250d ago

Japanese developers aren't entirely behind, but it does depend on who is making the game and what platform it is. Black Desert is one example.

FarEastOrient3250d ago

The developers of Black Desert is Pearl Abyss, a South Korean company. Different country

Tetsdah3250d ago

Exactly what Roccetarius said. This is a budget title that this company is notorious for making. Larger Japanese studios are certainly not behind.

TitanUp3250d ago

@Tetsdah Japanese developers are behind in graphics and current gen technology.

heck last gen I don't remember many Japanese games that got awarded in the graphic department.

never4get3249d ago

Yes and it's PS4 Exclusive, Greatness is Here!

DDOS-DelDaemonicOSes3249d ago

That helps explain how I've found Sony's upcoming exclusives to be graphically lackluster.

I've mentioned before that I've went through the posted lists of upcoming PS4 exclusives only to see that most of the screenshots look as if they're using last-gen rendering tech in higher resolution.

Isn't it a game that came out way earlier on X360?

LightningMokey3250d ago

Onechenbara Z was 360 exclusive but its sequel will be a ps4 exclusive... Because reasons.

Godmars2903250d ago

Why? Like the Earth/Invasion/Bug game, this was originally a budget title made with low development effort. Its not AAA, more CC from C.

Skate-AK3250d ago

Earth Defense Force is a lot of fun.

Godmars2903250d ago

Its also not a AAA title.

Which, considering what surrounds AAA productions, is most certainly why its a fun game.

Viryu3250d ago

Is it the same Onechanbara that was played by the Japanese on PS4 Twitch streams since last year? If so, yeah, I doubt it's going to go any higher than 5/10, tops.

IamTylerDurden13250d ago (Edited 3250d ago )

This isn't a new game so don't expect Uncharted 4 grfx wise, the splatter tech looks fine to me. Also, it isn't a showcase western AAA intended to annihilate ppl with a grfx overload, we have The Order, Driveclub, inFAMOUS, Shadowfall, tlou so i think the PS4 can do "pretty games".

This looks pulpy and fun in the same realm as lollipop chainsaw which was a good time. Gamer Ga** might not like this...The 2nd word is gate btw.

I love the diverse selection of games coming to PS4, SOMA looks crazy good. Wild, Rime, Rapture ect. Very excited for the Forest and Until Dawn looks fun, of cours No Man's Sky, SFV.

To those claiming it won't be good bc they didn't think the Japanese version was great, they optimize these games for western release look at Freedom Wars when it released in Japan it was s beta basically and not very good, but when it hit NA it was an excellent game reflected in it's critical reception. All it means is an extra year of polish and refinement.

Godmars2903250d ago

And AAA production isn't all that...

"Sound and fury that signifies nothing."

IamTylerDurden13250d ago (Edited 3250d ago )

You forgot "butts" in the quippy title, i see a lot of em.

Also, i see a small bikini clad vixen wildly wielding an unruly chainsaw, hmm...i know i've seen this before but darn it's a beautiful dichotomy.

Bouncing, cutting, and blasting, bring it on (in that order).

The Decade's Bizarre and Quirky Gaming News

VGChartz's Patrick Day-Childs: "2020 is upon us! The past decade has had some downs, like the influx of monetisation within full games, Blizzard's community backlash and EA winning the worst company in America award twice, but also some ups, like the leaps in understanding gaming from more mainstream companies to wholesome news like gamers helping preserve a controller signed by someone’s deceased mum.

The decade has also been the highlight of some… bizarre news, and I decided collect together some of the more obscure and quirky stories to make you giggle or question what the hell happened this decade."

Top 9 Outfits Which Can Barely be Described as Outfits

"Level with me, readers. We’ve played games. We’ve played a lot of games. If you’re visiting Rice Digital, chances are you play a lot of Japanese games with creative character designs. But, have you ever felt that, you know, maybe, some outfits can barely be described as outfits? Join us as we look through some barely-there clothes."

Definitely some fine outfits there. I think the fashion thought up by some videogame developers has a lot more fashion sense to it than half the crap that big designers put out on runways and their retail lines.

Relientk772426d ago

They're still outfits to me

😢

Asuka2426d ago

Lmao Nick xD. Need to play lollipop chainsaw again...

mt2426d ago

some of them I could consider an outfit, some are not.

I can agree with most of those, but The Order 1886? That's low man. It was an awesome game with the only downside being that it was a bit liniear and to short for most people. That game definately don't belong on that list of yours.

RpgSama2519d ago

I knew already this game was going to be here, the whole list it's just an excuse to make believe once again that a good game like the order:1886 is mediocre.

Was it a corridor shooter? Yes, was it short? Yes, was it a good game for what it was and what it wanted to achieve? A resounding YES. It wasn't going to earn game of the year awards but it's far from one of the worst games on the system.

drunkenspy0072519d ago

Ah, the old argument Order 1886 was a good game. It looked pretty, but played mediocre, was too short and too expensive for all that was offered. Maybe not one of the worse games out there, but I can see why it would make lists like this.

Master of Unlocking2518d ago

Just like Gears of War on the xbox: pretty, linear, short, shooter with cover mechanics, yet Gears has been getting a pass for doing the exact same thing for over 10 years now. Go figure.

XanderZane2518d ago (Edited 2518d ago )

They should have made 2 lists. One for Indies and one for AAA retail games. Most of the games on this list are Indies. They could have easily listed another 10 Indie games for being the worst.

The only game missing on this list is No Man's Sky. Fanboys will avoid this thread like the plague so it never gets high on N4G new list. Let's see if screencritics.net makes one for the XB1 and Wii U.

meka26112519d ago

Ok that list is just dumb. I can actually say that Onechanbara Z2: Chaos. was better than you think. Got it from gamefly and best way to describe it is, many enemies like dynasty warriors, with cool combos kinda like devil may cry.

letsa_go2519d ago (Edited 2519d ago )

I enjoyed it also. Not the best game in the world but it was pretty entertaining. The strawberry banana surprise was hilarious to me as well.

Hoika2518d ago

Putting Onechanbara in this list just means the writer is totally missing the point of the game. It was never meant to be a good game. It's an absurd, over the top musou/action game which isn't about good visuals or super solid and innovative gameplay. It's a fun game about chicks in bikini's with chainsaws cutting up zombies and demons.

And also The Order 1886... shouldn't be on this list imo.

Flappy Goat from Goat Simulator should be on this list though

Fist4achin2519d ago

I thought the image on the far right was ET with dreads!

Swiftfox2519d ago

I'm not entirely sure it's a good idea to have a strong advertising tool of a trailer be linked with the games as they appear on the list. Trailers are designed to make games look good--very good. Wouldn't it be better to record some gameplay of the issues you have and post that? It would at least show you not only played the game for yourself but also show you're just not lazily making up a list based on what would be most controversial? I mean I browsed metacritic and found PS4 games well worse than any of the ones here, and that took me 2 minutes. But I guess it's easier to get attention when you list games people know instead of games like Ace Banana or Afro Samurai 2.
