PC Authority: "When Fez creator and twitter-pounding neuroses vessel Phil Fish declared at the 2012 GDC that Japanese games “just suck” it wasn’t too hard to see how that attitude and perception had permeated the consciousness of the games industry at the time. Far from the glory years of undisputed dominance, in an era when most of the modern blockbusters and truly forward-thinking indie titles were emerging from the West and even traditionally obscure markets such as Eastern Europe, it seemed that Japan had begun to stagnate, to cater to conservative tastes and game design philosophies, atrophying as it looked ever inward.
Companies such as Capcom, SNK and Konami, once unassailable juggernauts, seemed to be chasing their tails and losing sight of what made their games unique and memorable in the first place.
Fast forward to 2017 and two of the year’s early heavy hitters not only hail from Japan but could scarcely be more “Japanese” if that was the intent of a specialised nationalist design committee. Both Nioh and Yakuza O capture the essence of what makes Japanese gaming great but in wildly different fashions, and taken in the context of sweeping developments such as the unprecedented SoulsBorne games, and the hyperventilation that accompanied a surprise Shenmue 3 reveal, it points toward bright futures for a still-relevant industry and creative cultural mindset."
Cultured Vultures: Valve's Steam Deck is a pretty impressive piece of kit, so here's our recommendations of the best Steam Deck games you should play.
Gravity Rush 2, a highly rated PlayStation exclusive, is currently available to purchase at $9.99 on the official PS Store.
Gravity Rush would be an amazing series to be reborn on PSVR2. (sure to make the motion sick squeamish! haha) Anyone who has never played them should pick these games up though, they were really fun, unique/wild gameplay w a lot of style. My only complaint is the Part 2 has a really slow start, but it picks up.
I remember when part 2 came out. Part 1 physical copy worth went through the roof.
Nice. I still have have my Gravity Rush physical copy for Vita, but I only owned Remastered + 2 digitally. Wish I had gone physical though.
Gravity Rush in VR would most likely kill someone lolz. GR2 and the first Mirrors Edge are the only games I've played where I've gotten horrible motion sickness but just couldn't stop playing em. Really hope that motion capture clip really is a movie cause the series deserves more attention.
Ha, yea it would be a bit like Sairento VR (constant 1st person flipping combat), mixed with Detached VR (360 space thrusters) with all comfort settings off, if you've ever played either of those! XD
GR1/2 would need quite the overhaul to work in VR. If they do make one from the ground up it definitely would work and couldn't be as motionly crazy as some games I've played on the Quest 2, like that Grapple game.
Loved the first one Vita and second on PS4. Most VR games I’m fine but the nature of Gravity Rush I am not sure I could handle it or not as it may make me feel sick to my stomach. I’d give it a try at least
Gravity rush 1 I really enjoyed but for some odd reason I couldn't as much with the sequel. It was a good game but the controls were very clunky and a game like that just really needs a higher framerate with how precise you need to be. Also everyone is for some reason just absolutely rude towards Kat which got me too annoyed lol.
The visuals and art style were amazing though. If they were to ever make a sequel, you fix these problems, then GR would be great games.
I enjoyed and play the 1st one on vita, i enjoyed there. Then I played the remaster with dlc when it came out. Gravity rush 2 I bought long time ago on ps4 but never got into it. I didnt even make it to 1st quarter of it. Its just what it is, I'll try to get back on to it sooner or later.
Gravity rush should be on PC by now. At least that will get tose numbers to raise a little.
The stupidity of exputer calling Gravity Rush 2 a JRPG aside...If y'all haven't bought the game yet, please do. It's such a great, charming game.
I have been absolutely gutted at the idea that there won't be a Gravity Rush 3, and I genuinely hope people give it a fair shake.
It's been 7 years since the mystifying Gravity Rush 2; if Sony plans to put obscure exclusives on PC, it's the very definition of underrated.
A Gravity Rush 2 port would be cool but I'm not sure how many people will be interested in buying a sequel to a game they haven't played before, though it worked for The Uncharted Legacy Collection so who knows? A Bloodborne port should definitely happen first though, the fact the game never even got a PS4 Pro patch is suspicious.
I enjoyed both of those games, the ONLY thing I didn't like while playing through them was I didn't learn a lick of Japanese from either title lol.
Better way to say it would be most Japanese games suck. I love Japanese, love the quirckiness of their titles, but they are usually such lower quality than western games. I mean I absolutely love Tales of Beseria, but the games graphics look like a early ps3 title.
