>Japan Studio: let's get the guy who directed Silent Hill to make a game with some creativity that may or may not be noticed, maybe this game could prove Sony has good characters and original concepts >Naughty Dog: DUDE LET'S LOOK AT WHAT'S POPULAR AND TRENDY AND SHOVE IT INTO OUR GAMES, WHOOO FUCK CREATIVITY
Do you think these two could represent the roles of both the east and west in the video game industry?
Remember when Uncharted was compared to Tomb Raider and Gears of War?
Cameron Morgan
Not sure, but this thread perfectly represents what a shitposting faggot you are.
Nathaniel Flores
I agree. Garbage devs.

They even have Neill Druckmann

Remember when Jak went from colorful platforming to GTA clones in 2?

All Japan Studio is missing is Ape Escape 4
Logan Long
Are you trying to say that it's not common for jap devs to take a giant diarrhea shit of shallow pop garbage all over their games?
Because you're pretty fucking deluded if you actually believe that.
Ryan Adams
Not saying they're perfect, just that japs can be a little more creative if you look through the surface

>Japan Studio >Relies on other teams to make games for them like Team Ico and Project Siren >Biggest IP is fucking Ape Escape >Most recently have made VR shit and fucking Knack
>Naughty Dog >Have never made a bad game >Actually make their games on their own >Widely considered the best studio in the world >Even their smallest franchise (Jak and Daxter) is bigger than anything Japan Studio have ever done
You weebs can stay SEETHING knowing Naughty Dog will always be the big dog (pun very intended) of the Playstation studios

Hi Neill, aren't you busy comparing diversity to gameplay and graphics?

What's wrong with their series (Crash, Jak & Daxter, Uncharted, Last of Us) to be deserving of this?

it must hurt even more then that Japan gets wrecked by a bunch of fucking SJWs Laura Bailey as Nadine

Naughty Dog hasn't made a game since the PS2 era. But lets assume they have, the best "game" they made is praised because of muh feels since everyone agrees it was sub par third person with bad enemy AI. Now the actual games they made before Sony turned them into movie makers are fun platformers but that's about it.
John Cruz
No you got it all wrong I enjoy all sorts of games from many different genres and regions, I'm even waiting to play the GR2 demo when it eventually comes up. It's just that Naughty Dog destroys Japan Studio, it's not even close
Jaxon Jenkins
When there are more retards than smarts, the retards win, so it makes sense

What did he mean by this
John Harris
I've always kinda hated their shit. Crash 3 was good but fuck everything else.
Thomas Wilson
Don't be like that user, I don't even know why this thread is even a thing because they're both great and serve many different purposes
Justin Edwards
yeah i know. its actually better than both of them
Hunter Baker
how old are the people that hate naughty dog real talk
Isaiah Hernandez
Not OP but I'm 24 and pretty sick of their shit tbqh
Josiah Foster
Old enough to not make a petition to take down a negative review of a game you like
Logan Ortiz
>Naughty Dog: DUDE LET'S LOOK AT WHAT'S POPULAR AND TRENDY AND SHOVE IT INTO OUR GAMES, WHOOO FUCK CREATIVITY
ND has total control over its work, Sony gives them total control because they are Sony's most profitable studio.
I love Japan Studio but it makes 0 sense from an economic standpoint to keep it around. Their games almost never turn in a profit even in Japan and the studio is a compete mess. The Santa Monica boss had to take over and sanitize the insane number of ongoing projects they had at the same time.
Zachary Murphy
>Japan studio Better single player experience games >Naughty dog Better multiplayer experience games.
Austin Rodriguez
yet also old enough to make petitions for ports of games they'll never get

27 in a week
and i hate the franchise it treats you like a child
no exploring, no risk, no actual problem solving
the hardest part of uncharted 4 was a puzzle where you literally have to do 10 + 2 and realise its 12
like
how is that stimulating
this is meant to be the juicy bit at the end of walking down a corridor listening to a forced shitty story and then having 1 button combat with qtes to pretend your having fist fights
eugh
it just feels gross
and lazy
and like its designed for children
Gavin Cruz
Let's look at the games they have made on their own
>Ape Excape >Legend of Dragoon >Pipo Saru 2001 >Ape Escape 2 >Ape Escape Academy >Ape Escape: On the Loose >Ape Escape 3 >LocoRoco >Piyotama >LocoRoco cocoreccho >The Eye of Judgement >The Last Guy >LocoRoco 2 >LocoRoco Midnight Carnival >Trash Panic >Numblast >The Eye of Judgement: Legends >Kung Fu Rider >Ape Escape Fury Fury >Echochrome 2 >Puppeteer >Knack >The Playroom >The Playroom VR
When they collaborate with other studios they're great, but on their own they have been pretty pathetic for a while
Liam Reed
The west has no creativity. It instead focused on "muh realism" and "muh trendy shit"
Once people realized how shit "muh realism" failed to deliver, westacucks cry about "downfall" of western games. They didn't realize that west never had any good games.
Japs meanwhile were creative with what they got, using minimal resources and making awesome games. They slowly transitioned to modern graphics while stilling keeping/evolving their basic fundamentals of good game.
West = Top down, trickle down gameplay. You get good graphics and hope that will be good enough gameplay. Some people call it "open world, open ended" game.
East = Bottom up, you're forced to play a game through a developer's vision and then slowly work your way up the graphics. This way, even if the graphics are shit, the gameplay remain highly playable.
This phenomena is present in every creative aspect of the work. From anime, to paintings, to video game, etc.

Why does Sony, a Japanese company, own several game studios worldwide yet only has one Japanese studio?

19. I only liked the first Jak & Daxter
Noah Fisher
Just turned 21. I'm the type that enjoys the ride and not too critical, also gameplay > story. Uncharted was fun the first time I play it but then they started recycling it to a borefest. TLOU gameplay is garbage, story is meh.
Jaxon Collins
Human mentality never change, or hardly change.

David Robinson
There's also Polyphony Digital making Gran Turismo. There's no point in Sony owning any more of them since all of the third parties primarily do business on Sony consoles anyway.
Blake Myers
Sony is multinational. Also Sony has multiple Jap studios.
Isaiah White
I'm 24. Jak and Daxter is their only truly great game. I dont necessarily hate them, but Everyone acts like they are the grandmasters of making games when they are good at graphics and writing B movie tier stories with the most serviceable level gameplay. I can sit and enjoy a playthrough of an uncharted or last of us but I can also be like yeah theres nothing truly great here. No interesting ideas, just really well crafted set piece moments.
Jacob Edwards
Puppeteer severely underrated
Brandon Martinez
No, the biggest third party devs from japan do the same a Naughty Dog. These two represent the roles of both medium sized and "AAA" dev teams in the video game industry.
Oliver Lee
not sure if serious or retarded
Logan Hughes
what popular and trendy things are shoved into nd games?
Elijah Smith
>Naughty Dog >Have never made a bad game Crash 3, Jak 2, and Uncharted 3 were all dogshit though.
Leo Moore
You talking shit on Ape Escape?
Jackson Mitchell
what the fuck crash 3 and jak 2 were great, uncharted 3 is the only one that was a considerable step down from the previous game.
Dominic Turner
Their games range from alright to boring. I don't really hate them but I do dislike most of their games. I'm 24
Caleb Hill

Juan Peterson
Crash 3 had a fucking horrible amount of terrible gimmick levels and a lot of the regular ones were lowish quality 2.
Jak 2 is straight up dogshit. The GTA-lite stuff is done terribly, the level design of half the areas suck, and it gutted the colectathon aspect - which was one of the things that made the first decent. I won't even touch how juvenile the writing is.
Christian Cooper

>This phenomena is present in every creative aspect of the work. From anime, to paintings, to video game, etc. "phenomena" is plural. The singular is "phenomenon". Also while I could agree with you that gameplay-wise they're more creative and thorough, when it comes to aesthetic styles and narrative their creativity is mostly superficial. You find crazier and weirder stuff, sure, but below that surface there's nothing structurally interesting.
Japanese writing is often all concept and very little execution. You don't get much good sensible writing, it's mostly "muh tragic past that defined everything I am". Illiterate teenagers see it as good writing because they think that good writing means plot twists and mindfucks. It's like putting Escher above Van Gogh because he drew cool optical illusions instead of a boring sunflower field or whatever.
Creativity is pointless if you don't have the craft to make something meaningful with it. It's the difference between a QTE fest with cool cutscenes and a game that requires patience and mastery to perform less flashy, but more satisfying and challenging feats.

Western games have neither creativity nor gameplay.
Muh realistic tranny right game is all they have.
Owen Parker
Jap games are generally more aesthetically pleasing and daring. The west has been churning out the same, grizzled, middle-aged protag for years and utilizing the tired old Tolkien fantasy Rpg aesthetic for even longer >muh traditional western three act narrative structure. You can fuck right off.
Joseph Rodriguez
Have the east made a game in the last 10 years that's even close to being as influential as Skyrim was?
Samuel Wright
Give Naughty Dog some credit
They made movie games popular, didn't rip any trend but themselves
Chase Brown
Look at Naughy Dog's logo, you can tell they're a childish trendy company by simply looking at the logo.
Jason Stewart
This, they need to go back to making crash bandicoot or fuck off. I gave uncharted and the last of us a chance but they are fucking garbadge. I fucking hate shitty cinematic shooters where you tap a button to advance the game but it hide's its shittynes under the guise of being artisitc. And guess what ND's newest games are going to be? Fucking Uncharted and the Last of Us.
Movies and Indieshit is the worst thing to happen to games.
Luke Wood
>This, they need to go back to making crash bandicoot or fuck off.
What about Jak & Daxter?
Colton Adams
They made knack, they are garbage off this
Jeremiah Reed
I have never played but I had a friend growing up who was addicted to those games and he had great taste so they need to make more of those too.
Evan White
>they need to go back to making this IP they don't even own
Why do fake Crash fans always expose themselves like this?

They ripped off Metal Gear Solid and Tomb Raider but made it more serious and shit.

i like the idea of Spike/Kat /ss/

Explain why they did not work on the remakes.

why the fuck do people parrot this meme? Before uncharted tomb raider had you killing more wild animals than people, and it was a platforming game more than anything.
Modern tomb raiders ripped off uncharted if anything.
Luke Baker

This outta be good
When did they do this Mr user?

Uncharted is way closer to your typical TPS instead of TR you retard.
If something its (neo)TR that ripped Uncharted completly.

Is this like how Halo was considered having Chief ripping off Doomguy until D44M happened?

Are you really asking me why a company that has 2 games in development right now aren't making a remake (Not a game, but a fucking remake) of 20 year old games of an Intellectual Property they don't own
Think for 4 fucking seconds and you'll know the answer
Jonathan Parker

no not really

Josiah Edwards
I am asking why they are making movies when they are shit and makes their company shit when they are capable of making real games. Forget business and even if they do not own crash bandicoot they could make a non movie game.
I want the Naughty dog that said fuck limitations and made two of their own engines so the first crash bandicoot would fit their vision not >Here is some sections you can sneak through or go guns blazing >Here's a cutscene with forced drama >Tons of scripted game events >Tap square to move this thing >That enemy is attacking you, tap X to defeat him.

WHAT IS THE OLD HUNTERS PART OF JAPAN STUDIO DOING NEXT????
Kevin Richardson
doom guy and master chief are both masked mute space soldiers in power armor, and they're both first person shooters.
Lara Croft is (was) a posh cunt who shot tigers in her primarily platforming game. Uncharted is a third person shooter about killing mercs or pirates with token platforming that mostly serves to help traversal during combat.
Doom and halo are much more alike than the old tomb raider and uncharted
