/vr/ - Retro Games

I couple of years ago, when GameCenter CX was huge here, I saw most of the subbed episodes.

I kind of want to go back and check out the show again, but I've forgotten which episodes were the best.

What do you guys think the best episodes are?

Anime style didn’t use to be a problem in previous generations, so what happened?

>GC: [laughs] Okay, so what is the problem then? Japanese developers are still making great games but they just don’t seem to enjoy the visibility they once did.

>SM: I think all the Japanese games, they are somewhat influenced by manga and anime. Even if they are trying to make a realistic game, still some part of the game is influenced by manga and anime culture. And that little difference is probably harmful to Western audiences. That’s what I feel.

>GC: But that didn’t use to be a problem, in previous generations, so what happened – and is there anyway back?

>SM: Maybe the other way round is also true, that Japanese consumers feel some awkwardness towards Western games. If you look at the packaging for Western games it’s not attractive. For Japanese consumers Western games are too ‘wild’.

Related to this, I wonder what were the reception of Japanese Games back then and why they are "very" different today?
