[S0ULZB0URNE]

As we know, Playstation has been a brand where it has had many games, especially original and unique games.

These times have unfortunately changed since this nefarious man named Jim Ryan arrived.

This idiot is not interested in the Japanese market, nor its productions, he has completely destroyed such a wonderful studio as Japan Studio, he has turned Playstation games into Hollywood products, with a denigration in the sagas, productions that have put the SWJ , where wonderful games like The last of us, have been decayed in a sequel that is not up to the first game.

The decadent way in which he treats Japanese productions, not to say discriminatory, the fact of censoring Japanese games for nonsense, but respecting the rawness of animal cruelty in The last of us Part II, as well as its sexual scenes, this wants say the great denigration it has towards the free artistic style of Japanese productions.


This stupid Jim Ryan has made dire decisions, launching the ps5 console in times of pandemic where not only does it not have games that sell consoles, but there are also no Next-Gen productions, and the limited availability of consoles that exist.

Poor hardware quality on PS5 where there have been problems with yellow cases on some models or freezes.


Total repudiation of this person for his foolish decisions

He does what the bosses in Japan tell him.
LOL OP

 

[McCarth]

Japanese game development is a shadow of its former self. He’s been smart to shift focus more Western.

 

[Pejo]

Lol as long as the writing is top shelf. Anime games can stay on switch thanks.

Yea sorry about the snark, you're entitled to your likes/dislikes, I was just having a rough day yesterday.

OP acting like Jim Ryan was sitting in a chair next to Neil Druckmann writing Last of Us 2.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Other than some absolutely idiotic and hypocritical PR quotes he hasn’t really done anything. Sony were going woke/sjw long before him. He hasn’t been in charge long enough to really change anything.

 

[RetroRibosome]

PlayStation is doing fine. Sony can’t fight fate with what happened to console gaming in Japan.

Sorry about your anime titties getting censored though lol.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Don't mind me.

I'm just here waiting for the inevitable Gravity Rush screen shots.

im waiting this too

It's Christmas Eve, I have Covid and I'm not going to sit around and wait for this any longer.

That's better...

owwww

Gravity Rush was average and people didn't care enough to buy it, not even the Japanese market. You should get over it at some point, we all like games that weren't successful, or even good. It's ok.

excuse me but in its early days, gravity rush 2 was in the top 1 of the best sellers in japan that even took the place of Yoshi woolly world from nintendo 3ds

 

[MoreJRPG]

There’s a reason JRPGs are thriving on Switch and dwindling on PlayStation. It’s gotten so bad that NISA isn’t even localizing Disgaea for PlayStation, only on Switch. PlayStation’s more of an American brand than Microsoft at this point.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

i dont blame you if you like low quality games.

But for me, i prefer the best ones.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Dude, Gravity Rush didn't sell enough. If you want to blame someone, blame the audience.

I blame Sony precisely for not giving it enough marketing and support, as it does with God of war. And if it was an I.P. From Nintendo, you see that the situation would be different

Man, it wasn't a great game. It was intriguing and it was nice to look at, but ultimately its middling gameplay, uninteresting characters and boring story chock full of tired anime cliches, made the game a 7/10 at best.

It just wasn't good enough to justify a huge marketing campaign, it needed to have the quality of something like FF7R and it just didn't.

You really play the game or just find via google the review of other people like many users do that?

Uninteresting characters? How can you say that about Kat? Raven?

 

[Royal-Slime]

This thread is funny. PS4 has the most first-party exclusive games out of all PS consoles. PS1 is the only one that can rival that and mostly because of Japanese unintentional support. Japanese were making exclusives for PS1 because that was the only console that would actually get people to play the games and had more power than SNES (obviously). The only first-party exclusives were Gran Turismo and things like that, stuff directly produced by Sony.

As for your waifu shit, I will fully support them censoring that to hell. If you care a single bit about J. culture and games, you would have known that nobody but guys with sperm instead brains cares about that in Japan. The sales for softcore pornography (which you're addicted to) are low. Only when the franchise tries to go mainstream (Atelier Ryza) is when the games actually start selling better.

You guys know how miserable you look when you talk about "J. culture" in the same sentence as waifu shit? If the urge is that strong, go find yourself a prostitute, maybe you'll be less of a perv when they take care of your "needs". I am usually against violence but you guys need a good juicy punch in your head to wake you up from that shit. I have more respect to perverts who do their "naughty" things in real life, honestly. It's just pathetic and miserable.

Gravity Rush 2 got a huge push during E3. Lots of fan service, and even with them having a full team, bigger budget it still didn't do well. Games like Catherine and Gravity rush have small audience. They are very niche, I love both titles, I own them. But I can see that unless your into that style of game it's not appealing to the masses.

 

[Shkyboy924]

i dont blame you if you like low quality games.

Ah yes, the best ones. I'm guessing lots of Japanese developed games not available in the west, most likely including a hefty number of Waifus/Catgirls, plenty of voluptuous anime girls, huge assortments of katanas and tons and tons of Japanese innuendo. High quality games according to the gospel of Heimdall_Xtreme .

You are welcome to your delusions of course but if you think you can do a much better job than a 20+ veteran of Sony then why don't you take your twisted logic and supreme sales knowledge, become president of SIE, and prove how Japanese software is superior to everything.

You can even make a thread about it, right next to your "White Male Hatred" one on Resetera.

 

[Unknown?]

I'd just like to ask where is the proof of any of these accusations? Despite Switch doing amazing in Japan it didn't stop Japanese games coming to PS4. Why would it be any different for PS5?

According to my gospel, the games with the most artistic flair are not the ones that shoot, curse words, have sex or drugs.

There are many Japanese games that give many lessons and morals or simply with their history is what they transmit to the player in a different situation.

So many people sadly associate most Japanese games with perverts, waifus and hentai. I think if more people tried them, they would learn there is a lot of depth and quality them where most of them prioritize gameplay, imagination, polish and fun over pretty graphics and spectacle. Senran Kagura, Code Vein or Onechanbara for example probably have imo better fighting engines, gameplay and depth than 98% of big budget Western games that cost 10 times the amount.

Again, I feel it’s cultural differences. Some of the stuff the West is really into Japan probably doesn’t understand or finds weird as well. Japan probably wonders why they like so many violent games where you are a floating pair of hands in a first person perspective blasting stuff over and over again for example.

Yeah, NIS would be bankrupt and likely closed had they not made the decision to put Disgaea 5 on Switch early on at launch. They also released other stuff like Labyrinth of Refrain on both PS4/Switch. They had been predominantly PlayStation exclusive for years.

There are many great Japanese games. Great Japanese games are what brought me to PlayStation, i.e Final Fantasy/Metal Gear Solid.
But let's bring the conversation back to base. You seem to be under the delusion that Jim Ryan, a white British man, cares very little for Japanese software development and is burying Sony into the ground, and your evidence to support this is.... because he focuses on massive hits like GoW, TLOU2 and Spider-Man?
This isn't evidence is it? All you're doing is stating that western games are really bad while the Japanese games you like are superior and better.

Well guess what Heimdall_Xtreme , sales numbers have shown that you are wrong. So wrong infact that it makes this wall of dribble you've concocted look foolish in itself. It's absolutely hilarious. These are the ramblings of a katana wielder.

Yes, I'm very sure the public toilets of Aberdeen have dignified cleaning.

It doesn't bother me that it supports Western games, but if it bothers me that it doesn't give the same importance to Japanese developers, I am not interested in their country of origin, but that it is not discriminatory and that it gives the same support to developers. That for the first instance PS1 was successful. And you can put the evidence you want, it is still a discussion, so go ahead.

 

[CaptainConlock]

I have my gripes with Jim Ryan. I wish he wasn't so against backwards compatibility. I wish he improved PS Now and worked to improve the streaming quality so the PS3 games could actually be playable without suffering lag. He has his problems, but I have to admit, he's so much better than Shawn Layden. So many games are coming out next year, so many third party exclusives were made, and PlayStation has never been this successful before. He's doing a great job managing a business and the Japanese gaming industry just isn't doing as great as it was five years ago.

Well no, it clearly does bother you otherwise you wouldn't have dribbled this thread into existence. You are lying.
Yeah let's just pretend Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake doesn't exist as well as Atlus's Persona series. These exclusive deals definitely don't support Japanese developers in any way possible do they.

Just stop, you're giving me a headache with your wilful ignorance.

Heimdall_Xtreme Take note, this is what is called fair and constructive criticism of Jim Ryan. Not that hyperbolic dribble you started this thread with.

 

[Azurro]

Uninteresting characters? How can you say that about Kat? Raven?

I did, I really tried to like the game, I bought Gravity Rush 2 and played for a few hours. It's been a while since, but I remember thinking the gravity aspect for navigation was cool, but that the combat was boring and lacking.

Also, I don't know, the designs of Kat and Raven are great, but their personalities and the story was just too drenched in typical anime stuff, and nothing interesting happened in the hours that I played, so I just kind of stopped.

I was really disappointed.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

I don't like Ryan, but she surely did some stuff the right way.
The PS5 launch was amazing compared to the shit show that MS delivered.

I have the platinum trophy on the original Gravity Rush on Vita. I usually hate gyro/touch screen controls however they really enhanced the original game and made it what it was. I really really struggled with GR2, despite it looking beautiful. It played like a bit of a button masher compared to the first.

Gravity Rush 2's combat it's a tragedy, the game improved nearly nothing from the first one in this regard which was the most lacking.
I really don't get it, because if you play the first one everything was good enough and the combat was the only real problem with it, yet somehow they made it even more clumsy and added more stuff on top of it. The world you explore it's bigger with no real payoffs either, so i don't know, as a fan of the first one the sequel was very disappointing, even more so when i really love most of this dev's games.

I think i would put GR2 besides Siren PS3 as the worst games the team has ever made.

 

[MegaBustet]

Another gravity rush fan? I thought I was the only one. Barely anyone even remembers or knows about it.

 

[DeltaPolarBear]

So amusing that Xbox is crashing the hardest it is ever been, and the one in charge get an award for it. While the one in charge of continued success of Playstation is being attacked forallegedly doing everything wrong.

I have a feeling that somehow listening to NeoGaf is a very bad idea if you run a console platform.

You will have another, go ahead but without insults that the one who looks bad is you.

PS4 had more support for Japanese games than PS3 did. Japan studio is just people moving on, like every studio, no proof of a mass exodus. You don't work there so you don't even know their payroll or personnel outside of two public posts.. They could have had 4 new people join for the two that left for all you know.. No proof of them not working on collaborations like before. None. Right now it's just baseless speculation.

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

Sony fanboys are truly delusional. Jim Ryan is incredibly aggressive. Thats what makes a good leader. They are in the best position ever right now. Granted, most of that can be attributed to his predecessors for now but the point still stands. The guy comes off as a cutthroat businessman who knows when to axe an unprofitable division.

Japanese games sell like shit unless they are big household names. Sony knows this. That's why they grab timed exclusives instead of investing their own cash into pitiful ventures like gravity rush. They funnel that cash straight into 3rd person blockbuster games. Thats obviously what their audience wants and the numbers don't lie.

Unfortunate but it's true. They have tried with deals for JRPG's like Ni NU KUNI series with very little sales. Nier has done well for the niche title it is, but it's only sold 5 million copies over the span of 3 years. On two platforms.

Japan studio is making some "big" things but it wont be anything like gravity rush thats for sure.

Good arguments, "blind" or "dumb"

I also played both games on release and have the limited Kat figure from the first game, so this is coming from a fan that has legit criticisms about the game instead of being a blind stupid fanboy as you seem to be with the quality of your replies.
