I keep hearing people say that the 360 has alot of Japanese support and is gaining it. But no offense looking at the announced games and games being announced, I'm a little pondered.

Now I'm not denying that it isn't gaining some support, but outside of Capcom I don't really see

I mean first off the 360 hasn't had a Japanese third party exclusive announced was Ace Combat 6 almost 8 months ago.

Since then the only Japanese centric game I've seen announced as exclusive is Guilty Gear Overture which is a spin-off of a niche franchises. (Ninja Gaiden II is being published by Microsoft)

Not only that but I've seen few multiplats outside of Capcom announced for the system as well.

So far the only games outside of Capcom announced are The Last Remenant, Silent Hill 5, and Soul Caliber IV. 2 of the 3 had appeared on the original Xbox as well.

And the top tire third party Japanese games that are currently hyped (Infinite Undiscovery, Cry-On) have been announced for over a year.

Not only that but the most recent third party game annoucnements on consoles in Japan seem to be on the PS3 with Yakuza 3, Persona 4, Steambot Chronicles 2, Star Ocean 4, etc. (LINK)

I'm not trolling, just wondering why the people think that the Japanese third party support on the 360 is so strong if it's been so long since any announcements and few third party Japanese 360 games are being released.

But all those games have been announced for a really long time. And Blue Dragon, Lost Odyessy, and NG2 are all first party published. And DoA and NG have been on the Xbox 1.

i dont like japanese game :shock:legol1

And that has to do with my thread because?

"Japanese support"... so overrated its not like they make the best games FFS and I dont even like JRPG's which seems to be what most new Japanese IP's are these days.

"PS3 with Yakuza 3, Persona 4, Steambot Chronicles 2, Star Ocean 4"...:| I haven't played any of these games and dont care about them at all.

Wait, why does it matter when they were announced or who's publishing them? They're still Japanese-developed titles.

By the way, I agree with the above posters. I don't like most Japanese games at all, with a few exceptions (mostly first party Ninty titles). I'm just pointing out that the 360 does have more support from Japanese developers than the Xbox did.

360 still get idol master expansion from Bandai-namco, and the first one (the extra contents on live) sold pretty well, the president wrote a sincere thanks letter (in Japanese) to its supporters.... there are small games that don't get mentioned nor ported to west.

But I'm talking about support as of recently. Many people are acting like it current has alot of support, but in reality there are very few Japanese games announced in the future. Most of the third party games you listed were announced and planned for the 360 over a year ago.

That is true but most of those are over a year old, well according form info on VGCharts.

So? There are several games on the way, and several came out this year, why does the rate of announcements matter? If the 360 continues to release several Japanese games each year, that'll still be a lot more than the Xbox had.

is your signature about mass effect? if it is you are very wrong my friend.

they were going to make the game more cinematic, so you dont have to read all the options and choose one, you choose what type of answer you want to useand then listen to it when your character says that.

and yes thats very new and next gen.

if its not about mass effect im sorry for talking out of my **** :)

No there aren't and that's what I am implying. The only future exclusive third party games are Infinite Undiscovery and Cry-On. And the fact that there hasn't been any third party Japanese games announced for the system in a long time pretyt much means that the Japanese support for the system is waining. Meaning most Japanese publsihers may not support the 360 in the future.

sadikovic

Final Fantasy?

Street Fighter?

I didn't know those games were coming out for the 360?

Final Fantasy XIII is still PS3 Exclusive and Street Fighter IV is still unannoucned at this point.

Also Ace Combat and Eternal Sonata have already been released. Lost Odyessy is first party, and Capcom has always been supportive to the 360 which I said in my initial post many times.

It is from mass effect. :D Personally I think I'm more used to longer dialogues when playing wrpg (not diabolo's dialogue though, it had like zero choices, and all consequences led to more killings anyway >_>), and I don't think it is necessary new.

If I remember correctly, I think when I was playing the gothic series (gothic II gold, speficially), once I chose a choice, the game would also do a cinematic theme according to my choice, though its graphics weren't as good as mass effect. Those three choices just felt... like badly translated dating sim games to me, so I had to poke fun at it. XD Still, if you feel offensive, I'll take that down. @@

Paying attention to your topic is a crime and only Sony fanboys seem to read and agree that It makes sense.

If some said that the 360 is getting subsantial amount of support from Japan and you disagree then go ahead and confrot the person why you think its ok to make a topic to discuss "why are people saying" this is rather stupid, who ever said it obviously isnt in this topic and probably is a "lemming" so yes they would say anything like all fanboys.

But your topic even thow it may not be intentional seems to give me the feeling that the 360 getting a lot of support from asia is a crime of some sort... which in every way you put it is opinion; which essentialy braught me to my opinion... I dont care because the ones I care about are on it.

A) It's Japanese support, having a game at first party isn't really support since Microsoft paid the company to make the game for them. Why do you think people constantly nag Nintendo for their first party over-dominance? Even if you count first party the latest one announced was Ninja Gaiden II and before that.....Lost Odyessy?

B) When did I say that I was discounting multiplat games?

There are still several unnamed projects from companies such as Altus, and games that no one mentioned like way of samurai online, being produced. Clannad is also going to be ported from pc to 360 with voices (if my info is right, the pc version had no voiceover. It should sell fine there).

Xbox360 might not get the most support from Japan (since Japan is now Ninty's land), but it is still getting plenty of new titles in the future imo.

Again, that still brings the number of Japanese games likely being released on the 360 next year up around 5 by my count--perhaps more that I'm not thinking of.

Look, I'm not saying the 360 is the ideal system if your main priority is Japanese games, but it's definitely gaining more of them and is gaining at least some amount of support from Japanese publishers, which is more than the Xbox had. MS isn't trying to conquer Japanese gaming this generation, they're just trying to establish a foothold and put out some titles of that type.

I keep hearing people say that the 360 has alot of Japanese support and is gaining it. But no offense looking at the announced games and games being announced, I'm a little pondered.

Now I'm not denying that it isn't gaining some support, but outside of Capcom I don't really see

I mean first off the 360 hasn't had a Japanese third party exclusive announced was Ace Combat 6 almost 8 months ago.

Since then the only Japanese centric game I've seen announced as exclusive is Guilty Gear Overture which is a spin-off of a niche franchises. (Ninja Gaiden II is being published by Microsoft)

Not only that but I've seen few multiplats outside of Capcom announced for the system as well.

So far the only games outside of Capcom announced are The Last Remenant, Silent Hill 5, and Soul Caliber IV. 2 of the 3 had appeared on the original Xbox as well.

And the top tire third party Japanese games that are currently hyped (Infinite Undiscovery, Cry-On) have been announced for over a year.

Not only that but the most recent third party game annoucnements on consoles in Japan seem to be on the PS3 with Yakuza 3, Persona 4, Steambot Chronicles 2, Star Ocean 4, etc. (LINK)

I'm not trolling, just wondering why the people think that the Japanese third party support on the 360 is so strong if it's been so long since any announcements and few third party Japanese 360 games are being released.

Just compare it to the Original Xbox. The 360 has way more support this time around. Sevral of the games you list look like they are going to be awesome.

JRPG's on the 360? Who would have thought?

Huh? I stated that those games aren't really "support" because they are first party published. How does first party publish Japanese games coming out for the system benefit third party Japanese games more so then if third party Japanese games were announced for the system instead?

Then it seems that we aren't on the same book here. I'm asking why people think it has alot of Japanese support this generation when it has few.

There are still several unnamed projects from companies such as Altus, and games that no one mentioned like way of samurai online, being produced. Clannad is also going to be ported from pc to 360 with voices (if my info is right, the pc version had no voiceover. It should sell fine there).

Xbox360 might not get the most support from Japan (since Japan is now Ninty's land), but it is still getting plenty of new titles in the future imo.

Atlus isn't supporting the 360 at all from my research and has announced all of its titles so far for the PS3 (save Trauma Center: New Blood for the Wii). I think you're thinking of NIS, which has recently cancelled its plans for the console. And what's Samurai online? The closest thing I found was Ultima's expansion pack, but I doubt you mean that. It sounds intresting.

Even compared to the original Xbox it isn't that much of an improvement. Yes I know that Capcom is giving it heavy support, but we must remember how SEGA went on a spree on the original Xbox's early lifespan.

Headhunter: Redemption, House of the Dead III, Panzer Dragoon Orta, GunValkyrie, Shenmue II, Jet Set Grind, Outrun II, Otogi I and II, etc.

Also as I said before many of these multiplats were also on the XBox and PS2 joint such as Soul Caliber and Silent Hill.

Look I'm not saying there isn't an improvement, because clearly there is. I'm just saying that people act like it has turned 180 degrees over.

personally, i think that Microsoft wants to be a part of the Japanese market, but they can only go so far.  They are a very Western console (which I like), and Japan is very slow to adopt their style.  And let's face it, Sony and Nintendo are fierce competition in the East.

FFS... How in Gods name does what japan likes affect me.

This topic is quiet stupid if you ask me... some sort of pathetic way to encourage ownage to the 360, Oooh Oooh Japan doesn't buy 360's... who in gods name give's a f***.

sadikovic

Did you start gaming with the XBox? Or are you a PC nerd that converted to the 360? Maybe you went from the Atari 2600 straight to the Xbox. Either way, hundreds of millions of people care about the games coming out of Japan. Since the days of Atari consoles, Japan has been one of the most important contributors to gaming. Don't make your fanboyism make you sound so ignorant.

This is the official page for way of samurai online game, but it has no other info except this page.... that's why I said no one mentioned anything about it. (has nothing to be mentioned :P)

For the altus game... it has less info than way of samurai (the game isn't even named yet lol), so you can treat it as a rumour at the moment. Unless it got canned, there should be news next year... I hope.

[QUOTE="ghostofzabis"]360 still get idol master expansion from Bandai-namco, and the first one (the extra contents on live) sold pretty well, the president wrote a sincere thanks letter (in Japanese) to its supporters.... there are small games that don't get mentioned nor ported to west.ghostofzabis

is your signature about mass effect? if it is you are very wrong my friend.

they were going to make the game more cinematic, so you dont have to read all the options and choose one, you choose what type of answer you want to useand then listen to it when your character says that.

and yes thats very new and next gen.

if its not about mass effect im sorry for talking out of my **** :)

It is from mass effect. :D Personally I think I'm more used to longer dialogues when playing wrpg (not diabolo's dialogue though, it had like zero choices, and all consequences led to more killings anyway >_>), and I don't think it is necessary new.

If I remember correctly, I think when I was playing the gothic series (gothic II gold, speficially), once I chose a choice, the game would also do a cinematic theme according to my choice, though its graphics weren't as good as mass effect. Those three choices just felt... like badly translated dating sim games to me, so I had to poke fun at it. XD Still, if you feel offensive, I'll take that down. @@

why should i feel offensive i just wanted to let you know you are wrong.

the dialogues are long you just dont need to read the whole thing before choosing it, you choose what type of answer you want to give the guy and then listen to the long dialogue that means same as the small thing you chose.

this way you dont have to read 3-6 chooses each 2 lines and then listen to it again when the guy says it.you choose it based on the small thing and then listen to the 2 lines dialogue.
