A large problem is that the hand held market is as large/bigger as/than the console market that is much larger than the PC market. Which means PSP and similar games are released. I havn't owned a hand held gaming console in ~10years, which means I would miss them even if they were ported.

I'd only want more JRPG's if they were like BOF3/FF7/XENOGEARS/CHRONO TRIGGER. If they spew out more FFXII or FFXIII then no thanks. The former abandoned all sense of storyline and the latter gained storyline (although only an ok one, nothing more) but in exchange for weaker gameplay.

I want a good games in general. Now that gaming is more main stream, the industry seems to be focusing more on a "lowest common denominator" demographic.

If someone created a shit your pants game for the PSP... how awesome would that be? Imagine people screaming or jumping while on a bus or something.

Survival RPG? Can we work together?

Hyperdimension Neptunia is awesome. Great fun, even if reviews say it is not.

That's something we need to work on, but it'll be cool.

I just wan't more RPG over all, 1st person shooters are also good, but they all reapeat the same crap over and over again, so they never contain anything big & new...

SO I'm more RPG player, I just want to play those, the country of origin doesn't matter.

fohfoh & vuzedome go check out Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
Been there done that.
I'm sure I can speak for fohfoh as well in this.

Yep, I toyed around with Penumbra for a bit. It was interesting, but too Myst like for me. Amnesia was fun, but still too close to penumbra for my tastes... I got annoyed at the controls from time to time. Good controls, but at times they wouldn't go through properly for me for whatever reason.

RE4 was the last one that actually gave me chills. That was a great one. The wii port was damn good too. If they extended that, it would have been even better. (Not to say it wasn't already really good) Fucking regenerators... freaky looking fuckers.

RE5 was lame.

Fatal frame nights used to be fun too.

RE4 - Maze with the dogs and the Invisible bugs had me on the edge of my seat. Regenerators weren't that bad to me. Also, in regards to FF, I have the second one uncut, and let me say 1st person is scary as hell. You could also check Silent Hill 2, but it has by far the worst camera/ control set up I've ever used.

@Kannato That seems rather hard to do considering what creates the scare is, as said, atmosphere. If you're watching a 3-4'' lcd screen or whatever the PSP is I doubt you would get that scared. The only thing I could see would be if you have your headphones in and turned up too loud.

I agree on that. Not only does the screen size lessen the impact, but I can't see how daylight and possibly being in a public place may be compatible with the 'look over your shoulder' atmosphere horror games should be providing.

Unless it provides immersion, horror will give a couple of startles because you're surprised but nothing more.

It'd really stretch the imagination though. I'm sure the Japanese would find a way. Have a realism based game that fucks with your head by imitating the buzz noise of a phone on vibrate, randomly turning off... "pretending" to have stuck pixels while playing that slowly migrate etc.

Wasn't camera in SH2 fixed? That is by far the best camera setting for a horror if you know how to capitalize on it and authors of SH knew how to do it.
Silent Hill - good storyline, nice scares, nice riddles
Silent Hill 2 - IMO the best storyline I've ever experienced, not very good scares (but still better than RE), nice riddles
Silent Hill 3 - bad storyline, great scares, great riddles (this one has the best riddle EVER and the rest of them are great)
Silent Hill 4 - great storyline, no scares (except one and that is probably only for me), no riddles
Can't say anything about SH5, SH:O and SH:SM because I didn't play them

As for the topic, yes, I want moar jRPGs but only if their are going to be on par with titles from SNES, PSX and PS2 (well, FF wasn't very good on PS2 but there still were great titles on it). From this generation only Resonance of Fate caught my interest (I'm talking only about stationary consoles) and maybe someday I will try White Knight Chronicles.

I'd have to check it when I get home but whatever it was made it a pain while running around..that or the control scheme.

I would love to seem more JRPG's, well good JRPG's. I never really developed a taste for western rpg's and I feel starved for a good JRPG.

I didn't like White Knight Chronicles. Felt too much like a wester RPG. For the first part I played, the character you spent forever customizing wasn't the even main character. Takes the epic feel away for me. I felt like a tagger one side character.

Also the new ar tonelico game is very good as well

the japs know the white man don't buy visual novels or rpgs unless its really japan and they feel brave.

also look at bakabts own gaming forum u don't see peep talk about visuals novels much or japan rpgs its 50%+ american titles

There is an American website specifically for Japanese Visual Novel games. Tho' .. I lost the link, or probably never saved it ... Does anyone know the name of the company? They do legal licensing from Japan and release it in the United States.

There are like 3 groups of companies that does that.

As for good sites for visual novels, hongfire.

Do you have the names? I thought there was only one.

Sosseres · « **Reply #38 on:** March 24, 2011, 10:00:10 PM »

Oh it is down to two since I last checked.

JastUSA/Peach Princess/G-Collections that used to be three separate companies and still kinda are.
