There might be a chance for new hardware.

Was there anything last year?

Sega!?

Sega and Capcom, huh?

Regardless of the metaphor, last year’s Capcom doesn’t leave much of an impression.

Last year’s most highly regarded game by Capcom is Dragon’s Dogma…

Square Enix is low.

>>6

I saw it, but it’s in 6th place.

It’s highly rated, isn’t it?

What’s more surprising is that Nintendo is in 22nd place.

It seems people are really noticing that there haven’t been any decent games released at all last year…

>>23

It’s the type that doesn’t get good reviews from gamers, but still sells well, so it may not be very helpful as a reference.

It’s a conversation that it’s understandable because it’s before the release of the new hardware.

>>25

You get called bald because you argue back thinking you were dissed by a spinal reflex.

>>29

If it’s a story about having no choice, then I wouldn’t say it’s bad.

>>36

After taking all this time, is that the response you finally gave…?

>>38

Are you living for ponchi?

>>25

What reference?

>>25

It’s selling well (according to Famitsu)…

Even though they said the sales decreased more than expected in the financial report, are they ignoring it and communicating with Famitsu?

Capcom has released Monster Hunter again this year, and it’s doing well.

Ah, it’s not the sales, but the review rankings.

I feel like it’s not quite right to lump all overseas games together, but the major titles tend to be so repetitive that it’s hard not to group them.

I was wondering about that From, but since it’s a publisher split, it falls under Bandai Namco.

There are also variations of the Demon Slayer board game being handled by Sega.

When viewed on a software basis, domestic titles have major works ranking high.

Indie titles are popular overseas.

>>13

I’ve been playing mostly indie games, so I haven’t been playing much domestic titles.

I played Palworld.

Mr. Sato is coming back to Japan.

I’m thinking of trying the new one in the studio for the first time in a while.

It’s been in a runaway state for about the last five years, hasn’t it?

It seems there will be a new GTA game, so things might change.

It’s not that Japan has risen; rather, overseas has simply fallen due to foolish politically correct commotion.

I thought I had never heard of 3rd and 6th place, but it’s a translation publisher, isn’t it?

Tell me the ranking of developers.

Firstly, it seems suffocating just to be required to produce a hit that matches the soaring development costs.

I thought I had never heard of Aksys Games in 3rd place.

Is it a publisher that is releasing Japanese horror games overseas?

Nintendo is clearly in a buildup period for the Switch 2, so, well.

The revival of Sega.

>>27

Finally, the development of the new hardware has begun…

There was a time when it was said that China would take away market share from the West, but it doesn’t feel that way at the moment.

>>31

It feels like they are going to focus on the console for now, so even if they come, it will take a few years.

>>31

Because development within China is difficult, it tends to result in establishing a base overseas for development.

If that happens, it inevitably becomes inflexible and turns into a battleship-dominated approach.

In short, they don’t have much presence in this kind of ranking because they can’t throw many pitches.

Sega’s recent museum game has received overwhelming praise, so it’s quietly strong.

Well, that’s produced overseas.

It really feels like Chinese games just make a lot of noise but don’t deliver.

At least the black myth was just loud voices from the Chinese.

>>35

Since the sales figures are out, it’s not just about the voice; I think it’s interesting that if something hits in China, it can sell well even if it doesn’t sell much elsewhere.

The Metascore manipulates reviews and there can also be a reversal of opinion after release.

In recent years, it has had a level of trust comparable to Famitsu reviews.

“Black Myth: Wukong had a rather complex story, which led to a decline in its overall evaluation.”

The artwork has incredibly high potential.

Is it positioned like the favorite manufacturer chosen by gamers?

The statistical method prioritizes ratios over the number of games.

Even if there are good games, the system declines because there are more terrible games.

Of course, the number of good works is also being added up.

If you stop with political correctness, there should be enough chance for a reversal overseas.

Sega is amazing for being able to release the Yakuza series at such a high pace.

Everywhere, it’s like, when is the next numbered title coming out…? Yet its presence is fading.

>>46

It’s impressive that you’re able to reduce costs and development time with a double cropping system.

The decision to make it revolve around two pillars: RPG and action.

The metaphor is really highly rated.

It was worth the time spent on development.

The Nintendo games in 2024 will probably be the Paper Mario remake, Borrowed Wisdom, and Mario & Luigi.

Is Sega still in first place in 2021…?

It feels like an overall year of valleys.

>>51

That’s only Nintendo, right?

>>51

Well, if you only have a Switch, then that’s it.

I’m happy because I love metaphors.

Despite the engine and development environment being foreign-made, how is this considered a major power?

>>55

Both Sega and Capcom have their own unique engines…

I’m disappointed that the thread didn’t go the way I expected.
