Why does Japan rarely make FPS?Look at Nintendo, they made almost no FPS beside Metroid Prime (who they only are producing and not the developers)It's not like it's a genre that isn't popular in Japan, japanese gamers still plays FPS gamesyet despite Japan being so big in the video game industry, they produce less FPS than most other countries; Doesn't matter if it's multiplayer or single player.what's the reason?The last japanese FPS I could note is pic related and it died a little while ago now
>>732269179It's not part of their culture, and for years many complained of dizziness and motion sickness from them. The meta is that you can tell whether Japan can compete or not based on whether the dominant games are third person or first person. Remember the PS3 era when Japan struggled, and companies like Capcom said "we want the Call of Duty Audience?"
>>732269270Isn't Apex REALLY big in Japan though? it's purely a FPS, they probably don't really feel strange about playing them anymore
>>732269179This game was killed because zaku II melee and marasai were just better than every other Gundam to the point they singlehandedly won matches.
Wouldn't the recent RE games fit the definition?
>>732269859They have in fact softened in recent years.
>>732269521Barbatos and Exia were worse pubstompers, and GM Sniper's existence meant the team with the better GM Sniper has the higher likelihood of winning.
I really want more FPS from japan. Maybe we'll get really interesting anime themed FPS with isekai and anime titties and stuff. FPS set in MGS or Stellar Blade world would be really nice
>>732269334That's really the only one they have gotten into at all.
>>732274476Why apex of everything?
They think they can't compete with burgers in the FPS genre so they don't even bother.
>>732269521>zaku ii melee and marasainoob filters. zaku ii melee had awful mobility and damage when his rage wasn't up and the only way to get rage is if the enemy team is retarded and shoots you while you're in tank mode. marasai's range was lacking and his combos were much less forgiving than barb's. the real menaces were exia who had crazy mobility and damage at all times, gm sniper locking down any open map, sazabi being unkillable with good positioning, and unicorn shitting out heals constantly to his entire team. unicorn/exia/barb deathball zooming all over the map was unbeatable.
>>732276423It's colorful and the characters are breddy uniqueI don't fuckin know I was surprised when it was referenced in Love is War
>>732269521ZIIM was immediately solved by simply not shooting him and marasai just needed singled out. The real problems was always Barbie and GM Sniper II.
>>732276423Streamers
>>732278738>noob filterThe guy you're replying to sucks, but you could say that about almost anything. Exia was top tier but he wasn't nearly as dominant as people thought, they just sucked and let him run rampant. Same with GM Sniper, casuals just ran in a straight line ignoring all their movement options and made it easy. People call Barbatos OP because they're blasting music instead of listening to the game audio (he still deserved the nerf, though).Melee Zaku was an absolute unit, but he was nerfed fast. After that, he could only perform decently in the incredibly rare mid to high level lobby where people actually played with their team. The Japanese tournament meta was just shoving Unicorn and Methuss up his ass which is why he kept getting nerfed despite having awful performance in public games.Marasai was a good pubstomper between Exia getting nerfed and his own nerf and rework. You could just instagib almost anyone and their retarded teammates wouldn't hear the hook even if you did it right on top of them. If the enemy team had a single good player, a Marasai could single them out and remove them from fights. Different case on Side7, since 5 people often end up diving Marasai as soon as they hear a teammate get grabbed.Speaking of, Side7 has matchmaking permanently enabled now. Play it.
