why dont japanese developers consider PC

Is Darksiders being made by them jips? If yes then they are indeed a-holes because I'd love to play this game on the PC. I'm also pissed about them never releasing any Front Mission games for the PC (the latest shooter thing doesn't count) but releasing their Final Fantasy garbage which most people with at least 3 functioning brain cells don't give a rat's ass about. Don't care about bayonetta, it looks dumb as hell.

seriously they are killing me. i was checking this game that called Bayonetta, it looks amazing.

i want a change from all the western PC games, this is frustrating. they just love making games for consoles.

Oh ok, Vigil Games is an a-hole too then.

so you guys are not looking for any refresh whatsoever? i think most PC gamers should be sick by now with games that "saves the fantasy world of xyz " and games that "saves the world of terrorists and aliens".GazaAli

There are some that do make PC games though. Capcom has been making PC games and there is also Last Remnant on PC if you want a japanese RPG.

i dont have X360 controller. BUT, i dont know much about controller, but there are some round here that are sold for 20$ for a pair, their color is black too, what about those? any worst case, the game is not playable with K+M?

Well Capcom has taken steps towards PC gaming. RE5, SF4, DMC4, Bionic Commando and Lost Planet all came to PC this gen, and Dead Rising 2 seems to as well. Outside that it's been a bit quiet, but Rising should bring MGS back to PC, FFIV might encourage them to port FF13 over as well.

I think the main problem is that there simply isn't much audience for these games on PC compared to consoles, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. But some slip through the cracks every now and then. For games like Bayonetta I'd look into DMC4, X-Blades, Ninja Blade. Lot fo these are ported later so it's not impossible for Bayonetta to make it to PC too.

$200 for a freaking Wii is a joke. Considering hardware wise, its a slightly upgraded Gamecube... Captain__Tripps

The kind of answer i hear from the likes of a PS3/X360 fanboy. Very typical and no originality. Are you after hardware or are you after games? And if you say wii has no good games, it's just your opinion. The truth is any popular platform has its own great games. "The console _____ has no great games" argument is just a stupid statement mostly coming from fanboys.

The Wii's great games can't be found and experienced on any other platform including the PC. Most of its great games are exclusives. Most of its great games are "different" from the usual "bad-ass, violent" games. That is why it complements the PC. Many of Xbox360 games are on the PC. PS3 may have more exclusives but like the TC said, it's expensive because of Blu-Ray.

lol, I am a 360/PS3 fanboy, yet I own neither, and dislike the nature of consoles period, especially MS and xbox live... I was just commenting that $200 for last centurys hardware is a joke. I also said the Wii doesn't have great games, but it has no games I would want to play for cost of entry for the level of hardware it has.Captain__Tripps

I'm sad the PC never got Valkyria Chronicles.. looked like a really fun game.denter21

[QUOTE="denter21"]I'm sad the PC never got Valkyria Chronicles.. looked like a really fun game.GazaAli

Doesn´t seem to be very legal to me...

Anyway,couldn´t you get a PS3 from Amazon or Ebay instead?

Resident Evil 5 and DMC 4 and Last Remnant and Street Fighter IV were all superior on PC. If ur saying that some of these games are impossible without a controller then use a 360 controller for PC.

Its because of their own domestic market not being filled with PC Gamers.

pc are for hentai dating sims and anime no room on hdd for anything else

Believe it or not there is a lot of truth to this.

That would be interesting to know but PC figures are rarely released.

Xfire rankings aren't that accurate but might give some indication. (highest rank)

- Resident Evil 5: #16 Comparable to fairly popular PC exclusives like WiC or SupCom. My guess is ~1m sales.

- Devil May Cry 4: #54 and Street Fighter IV: #45 Comparable to more niche PC exclusives like SOASE or Arma2. My guess is ~500k sales.

- The Last Remnant: #144 My guess is that means sales of ~100k.

they port the letdowns like dmc4 bionic commando and re 5 to pc and expect it to sell after a 8 month delay when everyone already knowsthey suck. then when sales arent good they say theres no market. maybe if ud port over a bayonetta or a final fantasy that isnt delayed by half a decade.

poor quality+ massive delay = bad sales= japs think theres no market

Like someone else said, pc for japanese is dating sims etc More of them littering the pc than grains of sand on a beach. It's just not profitable enough to introduce jrpg's for the pc. You get the odd title here and there but that's it. If you want jrpg's use a console. Course you can emulate on a pc.

its a matter of the japanese market. i mean ok the japanese market is not into PC gaming. but what about the rest of the world market? i mean do it for the sake of business.GazaAli

get DMC3 , because Bayonetta was directed by the one who directed DMC3. u can also get DMC4. DMC = Devil May Cry.Shatilov

[QUOTE="Arach666"]

[QUOTE="GazaAli"] exactly thats what im talking about. i mean we PC gamers have everything we need: super great hardware and flexible systems and yet we are missing alot of the fun. if a PS3 costs 300$ around the world, it costs 700$. we dont have WIIs here and if we do, it would be the same.GazaAli

No offense bro but you obviously don't know the meaning of *blockade* It's hard enough to get an ambulance around Israeli checkpoints nevermind moving to another country...Israel blew up the last runway. Anyway on topic, while the majority of jrpg's are appaling you can still emulate the best ones on a pc. Get yourself a psx and ps2 emulator and play everything at 1920x1080 with some AA. Games look much better.

Like the other guy said, almost all console games will eventually be emulated on the PC. You can play most PS2 games right now if you wish, and at higher resolutions with AA to make them look better. If you absolutely cannot wait then go ahead and get a console but I would recommend a 360.

Between my friends insane game collection and my own, we found that 3 out of 4 cross platform games run better on my 360 in terms of frame rate and it has a lot less frame rate drops during heavy action sequences. We have verified this to be true on several games that we share including Oblivion, Fallout, Dragon Age, GTA, & Madden09. We assume that this is an inherent issue with the PS3 and it extremely annoying during heavy action scenarios like large battles when the frame rate is critical to gameplay.

The PS3 is playable, mind you, and if you did not know any better it might not bother you as much but even my friend admits that if he could go back he would have gotten a 360. As for exclusives, they are a wash. Both consoles have good exclusives so there is no point to favor either. On the 360 you can get Mass Effect, Halo, Fable, Forza, L4D, GoW, & Lost Odyssey. The PS3 will net you Valkyria Chronicles, God of War, Gran Tourismo, Killzone, MGS, and uncharted. Ironically, I think that the 360 has more JRPG's than the PS3 at this point in time but I would need to verify that. So the 360 wins purely on the basis that games perform better on the console and it has a cheaper entry point especially if you dont care for blue ray which is probably just as well with downloadable services flooding the market.

The 360 arcade version was on sale for $99 a few weeks ago through amazon and walmart and a used 20GB hard drive can easily be had for about $25. An 10ft HDMI 1.3 cable costs $4 shipped on amazon. I will wager that the $99 will probably happen again later this year or early next year if you are patient.

Japan is a land of consoles. PCs were never and will never be popular in Japan. Its that simple.

xxscammersxx

Uhhhhh....ever heard of Starcraft over in Asia? People absolutely LOVE Blizzard over there.

Asia isn't Japan, starcraft is super popular in korea. Links of japanese people going crazy over starcraft and worshipping it please?

And don't say they're all the same.

Well i think the japanese would rather make a console games rather then pc is due to piracy.think about it,every games that comes out for pc always get pirated in a few days.

meh, i over-reacted. forget it.
