Have the japanese ever made a AAA shooter?

This just came across my mind, maybe I'm missing something, but has there ever been a significant AAA FPS developed by Japanese developer?

quantom theory will one?

MGS4 is kind of a shooter, at least much more of than previous MGS's.

I dunno, I'm not japanese. :P

Its maybe a living in your own bubble thing, like other cultures sometimes just don't feel like trying out something new. Or that they're too occupied already with their own style of games.

They're not popular in Japan; they think they're silly.

Radiant Silvergun was AAA. thriteenthmonke

None that I can think of, but I'm completely fine with that.

It was meant to be first person perspective, but it doesn't mean it would play like a shooter. The design in RE was conciously designed as it was because survival horror was thought to be more scary.

[QUOTE="thriteenthmonke"]Radiant Silvergun was AAA. Salt_The_Fries

I'm not even sure what any of that means.

But Japan has taken things from other cultures, countries, etc ... and has reworked them back into their own culture ... since Japan was Japan. It's just the way they work. But the end result is definitely uniquely Japanese.

[QUOTE="Salt_The_Fries"] Not a First Person Shooter, and by the way this shows how the Japanese lack the distance toward themselves, which is paradoxical, because over the years they have been assimilating countless elements of Western Culture into their games, and thus making people think they're unique, while in reality they were deconstructing it.Salt_The_Fries

Idk, I don't think any other country would come up with some of the stuff Japan does or do things the way Japan does (when it comes to certain things).

While not an FPS Sin and Punishment kicked lots of of arse and got an 9.0 on IGN.

Considering how well FPSs sell over in Japan, I doubt it.

man I was just thinking... a japanse fps could be good

RE4 comes to mind. also, one can argue about MGS. I wont exactly call both games shooters like Gears of War, but most of the time, you run around shooting people. RE4/RE5 in particular, therefore JPN have the potential to make a 'full' blown AAA shooter.MightyMuna

What is that considering that western developers have made turn based RPGs ?

Not popular, hence less incentive for developers. It's considered a niche genre that only attracts people who are interested in western games.

japanese are not americans thats why

it's known that most japanese get motion sickness from FPS's...it's why they don't get into games like halo, KZ2, etc.

they just flat out like FPS's

It is? All the best rpg's are turnbased not to mention rather old by now.

Its sad how people still don't realize there is a Shooter developed by a Japanese company and one more on the way. Its called Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Lost Planet 2, too bad people never heard of these.

Japanese games are too vanity and style centric to be first person shooters. They want to see their flamboyant characters on screen. You can't do that in first person perspective.

Is that really what gets you going? You need to get out more.

That's a matter of opinion. I always thought turn based, even in games like kotor or baulders gate, played kind of goofy. Mass Effect was the first bioware game I could get into.

Well Sega was going to make an FPS for the PS3, they showed a trailer back in 2006 but I forgot the name. Anyway the Japanese public don't like FPS so maybe that's the reason why Japanese devs don't bother making any, I hate FPS so it doesn't bother me and I prefer they make epic games in genre's they are known for.
