Why are japanese games filled with japanese people?RushMetallica

[QUOTE="RushMetallica"]Why are japanese games filled with japanese people?Engrish_Major

I'm just taking a wild jab in the dark here, but I believe it is because Japan is mostly made up of Japanese people.

Again, just a wild guess.

Since America is made up of people all around the world, it makes it easier.

(yes, im just making things up)

Maybe because the majority of game developing companies within the western games section are American companies.Treflis

Because US is the biggest market... and Japanese gamers tend to prefer fantasy themed games where nationality is not as relevant if I'm not mistaken.

Most of the Video game market (Outside of Japan etc..) Is geared towards Americans and British people. They aren't ALWAYS American, Take MW2, they're British. There have also been african Heroes/Heroines like Sheva in RE5.

arby too, he is american speeking ailien man.

Pukalal

It's pretty obvious this isn't your first language, because you don't even know what it's called. Americans don't speak American, they speak English.

Americans don't speak American, they speak English.

Nintendevil

British people may disagree...

Maybe they are from Europe.

Well, if that's the case, then there shouldn't be any problem for developers to create more nationally diverse characters either (yet doesn't exactly look like the case). Goes both ways.

I don't mind.

Not true at all...plenty of films and video games with Australians,British and Canadian leads.

Although, they all do speak English.

Cause...America is the most badass country ever. We won WW1 and saved the British in WW2. America **** yeah 8)MgamerBD

I just don't understand what the TC has against American ass.

Meh. Who cares?

When the Spanish, Africans, or Chinese start making video games, then maybe the protagonists will be of different nationalities.Engrish_Major

uhhh... lol most likely since it targets the American demographic so I guess that's why

Strider_91

True, it seems most people don't have a problem with the formula, but I for one wish developers can come up with something different...

A French secret agent

A Russian racecar driver

A Canadian cop

An (non-Asian) American martial artist

An African soldier

I don't know about you people, but when I hear "American soldier" or "American space marine" that many times in first person shooters, I get the impression that they're all the same games unless if it was a highly intriguing and original story like Metal Gear (which is pretty rare in today's saturated market).

the irony is that there is no american race. We are, and continue to be, a nation of immigrants and various ethnicities. We have the best of both worlds; a kickass culture that at the same time embraces and celebrates the culture of those that come here from elsewhere. I love celebrating Chinese new year in San Francisco, going to the Scottish festival in Pleasanton, and celebrating Oktoberfest at the local German restaurant where I currently live.

Patriotism aside, I imagine this has something to do with the fact that A.) a vast majority of games are American-made (such as the examples you listed), or B.) targeted at American or West-loving (specifically the Japanese) audiences.

I have played plenty of European games, however, that have no mention of Americans. Not to mention nearlyevery single RPG I have played has never had an American in it.

The Spanish are already making video games. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is an example of this. The Chinese surely are as well.

I think the game you are looking for is Napolean Total War. No Americans in that.

It's the same with the Star Trek Enterprise being an all american type crew.
