Have the japanese ever made a AAA shooter?

The japanese make shooters? :?Waffle_Fish

But they don't make FPSs or Third Person Shooters.

Edit* Unless you consider RE4, RE5, and MGS Third Person Shooters.

They did make one called onslaught for the wii, most known for it's phrase "that's why you're still a kid". I have it, it sucks though.

Sadly there isn't really. I could say that MGS4 can be played as an FPS but doubt that truly counts.

It is good that Japanese don't make shooters, they should just focus on RPGs.abuabed

Completely disagree. Developers shouldn't limit themselves to any genre, I would definitely ike to see what kind of shooters great Japanese devs. could make so far the only ones I can figure doing that are Konami (especially Kojima) and Capcom.

with a genre so flooded with generic games,

why would they waste their time?

to be honest,
i'm confused why any developer wastes their time.

Two can play it that game, they ask us why dont we make fairytale rpg and endless amount of fighting games they are only the like da bomb!!. They make arcade shooters that never surfaced in American Shrines "consoles" and I doubt arcade games will get AAA because of the amount of content.

you suggest that just because of the culture difference,
that japanese developers could, for instance, re-interest gamers such as you and myself into the fps genre?

i mean it's possible, but i'm sure we're all familiar with the mindset most japanese developers have about their games being too hard for an American audience,
honestly i think the games are out there,
they probably just don't see a state side release.

Its not about whats stopping them, they just never started. lol

Same thing thats stops western devs. from making turn based rpgs

Wait, what?

Last time I checked D&D is turn based.

Isn't a japanese developer making a gears clone for ps3 right now?

I know they could make more of the same too as you suggest but we won't know if they don't try more often.

have western devs ever made a good jrpg...? this might not count but metroid prime was great .. made by US devs, but with a lot of input from nintendo, even miyamoto .. i think he suggested making it a first person game (it was a third person action game to begin with)akif22

Maybe they have better tastes in games?

The only project I even recall about a japanese FPS was when Kojima wanted to make one for WWII based on the Japanese side. Frankly, I would have bought it, but it wouldn't have been well recieved by any other nation :?

Well maybe the japanese think the same thing about shooters, that they are better top down, not in first person
