>>And they’re not making as many original games so there’s not that much to announce. Oh, look, another Castlevania game.
could you elaborate on what you mean by Original games? Does this mean western publishers have been more creative lately, if so with what?
>>Japanese publishers are traditionally more conservative
so how are western publishers more liberal? If so, how?
>>: I’ve seen the western press play it and pick it up in five minutes, and I’ve seen the Japanese press be confused by it for ten, 15, 20 minutes.
Why is that? Did you play it yourself to know why? Were the controls very different from say, Capcom's Devil May Cry?
>>We’ve obviously got confused: we thought this was exactly the right response to Gears Of War’s happily non-cerebral plot with its lunkheaded smack-talk, slavering monsters and supersized weaponry.
I'm surprised anyone who's played it would think this, I thought the storyline in Gears of War was touching, and it wasn't smashed over my head obvious either.
The comradeship between the characters was honest, these people acted like friends.
Or finding out the reason Marcus was in prison. A son's love for his father. This hardass lookin' locust rippin' badass, and he abandoned his post because he loves his father. Gears of War handles the story with subtlety.
My enjoyment of the game increased knowing that Marcus wasn't a faceless robot or a psychotic moron, and he fought alongside his friends. The diverse cast and personalities feels like an RPG even. Someone like Marcus wouldn't be out of place in a Final Fantasy world, heh.
Too subtle I guess. Cliffy B didn't say "THIS GAME WILL MAKE YOU CRY" or scream it was art. You had to pick up the game and play it to get to know the cogs.

Alucard's a vampire with a flowing cape that glows, he's not Simon the Barbarian, I think that choice was deliberate
You can always play as Axe-Knight
HEAVY ENOUGH for you???

Marcus is the Anti-Kratos, hahah
It was an honest story told in an honest way.
at this point, the only thing that could phase World of Warcraft is a suicide bombing of their servers.
Would you say Monster Hunter 3 would single handedly up the Wii's "Gamer Appeal"?
it seems like a blow to PS3 owners, that was the only other game I was anticipating
