East vs. West: Who

**Kugyince** · 04-08-2010, 07:19 PM

The cultural differences that inspire western & eastern game developers can now been [sic] seen as almost stereotypical of their societies. We see a First Person Shooter, we expect it’s Western. If we see a lady-boy dressed in skimpy clothes, we KNOW its Eastern. Usually our personal preference determines what games we buy & when we buy them, but I wonder recently, has one gaming nation eclipsed the other?

We’re looking at games designed by both sides, east & west, to see whether or not one is gradually overtaking the other in terms of quality & popularity (or if one has left the other behind all together). To do this, we’ll take a look at some of this year’s top games from both sides and the few we can expect in the near future.

East vs. West: Who’s Winning?

The east has been winning since 1985 I think.

**Kugyince** · 04-08-2010, 09:09 PM

I think the west has caught up and poised to surpass the east soon enough.

**Dudebro** · 04-09-2010, 12:35 AM

I don't think either is really winning and I hope neither ever does. We need more influences not less.

**Slime Slayer** · 04-09-2010, 01:41 AM

Are we talking financially or quality of games?

**Dudebro** · 04-09-2010, 01:45 AM

I think both would apply to winning overall.

**joz** · 04-09-2010, 09:19 AM

I agree with DB. Healthy competition between game companies is a win for us gamers.

If this was about cartoons/anime, East would win.

**joz** · 04-09-2010, 09:34 AM

I though all cartoons came from Japan...

Example: [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender]Avatar: The Last Airbender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] was west.

+1 for epic list.

*cries for not having old VHS tapes of those anymore, especially Great Mouse Detective ;_;*

@Steven: You do realize Disney has a Japanese division?

**Slime Slayer** · 04-10-2010, 11:34 AM

Yeah, and I find those movies inferior to the western ones.

They also make anime such as Ride Back.

**Slime Slayer** · 04-10-2010, 06:29 PM

Yes but those a produced in japan, so I consider them eastern. Ive never seen anything come out of the east that was a well done as this:
