grim

What games?

>>717657236
nfsph2
txr3

>>717657236
Tetris and Puyo Puyo Tetris

>>717656967 (OP)
I assume Japanese play testers are even more retarded than western ones, considering how even easy games are too hard for them.

>>717656967 (OP)
good thing the japs improved that game tho

the road in the bottom is an actual 1:1 scale map of the irl Tokyo Metro Expwy


the road on the top is some EA arcadebabby slop that none of you burnout kiddies have ever even heard of.

>the single straightest part of the shutoko vs the curviest track in HP2

this is totally not a faggot bait thread made by a genuine dicksucking nigger who can't play racing games at all no siree

brutal how underground 1 drag races (released 22 years ago, mind you) is far more intense than whatever is this drive in a straight line japanese shit.

They don't make a lot of racing vidya but they DID make Gran Turismo and bunch of classic bike games, so you can't take that away from them.

However FPS and RTS are not their genres.

I never understood the appeal of Tokyo Extreme Racer

Japanese games are so much better it isn't even funny

>>717657730
>the curviest track in HP2
i'm pretty sure it's pic related which is very much not the curviest track in the game
man it's weird how different the PS2 and PC versions look, the layouts are the same but the whole track scenery and textures are all totally different. the mediterranean tracks even moreso

>>717656967 (OP)
canada used to make good vidya
not anymore

>supposedly doing over 200km/h
>doesn't feel even remotely close to it
Why are so many racing games bad at this?

The better question is: why do Americans EXCEL at making pc games?
Most of all the console games we like are from Japan (they used to be at any rate), but *every single* 10/10 pc game was made by Westerners. What's up with that?

>>717659645
The sense of speed doesn't directly translate to a third person view, in first person it feels much more realistic since it hinges on shit zooming past you

You could make 500km/h look slow from a bird's perspective on a flat track in the desert

>>717659645
Really wide roads. You can split hairs about FoV or shitty motion blur (Burnout) or lack of camera movement (GT) all day but honestly 70% of it is just road width.

Racing is one of those genres where devs from both regions are good

>>717659658
Japs don't use PCs also "PC games" don't exist anymore. You're getting ports from games primarily designed for consoles. This includes shooters.

>>717656967 (OP)
>generic arcade racers designed for general audiences
>niche game made for niche audiences
Why don't you compare TXR to those shitty NHRA games?

>>717656967 (OP)
>2003

>>717659645
Lack of blur.

>>717662636
Retard answer

>>717656967 (OP)
I prefer TXR though.

>>717662636
Correct

>OH MY GOD I'M DRIVING A STRAIGHT LINE IN SHITOKO JAPANESE HIGHWAY AAAAAAAAAAAA
meanwhile if you try to do it in real life you'll get millions of seething japs wanting to put you in prison

>>717657730
Those physics look pretty bad
Also why do japs love this shitty static camera style where it's glued to the back of the car like in Gran Turismo?

>>717665291
anon, you have to understand, it's a 1:1 recreation of tokyo or summin. yes they could have instead made less but better maps to drive around, maybe even add some actual gameplay so that you wouldn't fall asleep while playing it but then it wouldn't be a 1:1 recreation

>>717658638
Not everybody is going to like the same things and that’s okay.

>>717657510
>VGH... Why did they have to change the combat in the remake?

>>717656967 (OP)
How come Japan is so GOOD at making games????????
NFS games are for pederasts and niggers
Tokyo Xtreme Racer is for actual gamers

Jeets mad that only Japan is making good games these days?

you will never be canadian or american and i can't wait for a race war to wipe you out

>>717659967
Wave race,fzero GX, MX vs ATV reflex and dirt rally 2.0 are definitely the best racing games in their respective subgenres.

>>717659658
you sure about that? nice try though

>>717656967 (OP)
Because japan is eternally stuck on ancient PS2 graphic games that never innovate, making licensed IP gachas that EOS after a year, and never trying to branch out. Theres a reason all their billboards are filled with korean and chinese games now, their own market is so incredibly stagnated and isn't keeping up.
