Capcom’s Keiji Inafune, creator of Mega Man and Dead Rising, has revealed how unimpressed his fellow countrymen have been to him at the Tokyo Game Show.
While perusing the showroom floor at the event, Inafune-san came to the conclusion that ”we’re done.” The Japanese development community ”is finished.” Dead Rising 2 is outside Japan.
”Personally when I looked around all the different games at the TGS floor, I said “Man, Japan is over. We’re done. Our game industry is finished.”” translated Capcom’s Ben Judd for Keiji Inafune, reports Destructoid.
Dead Rising 2 is being handled by Blue Castle Games, a developer located in Canada. His thoughts and summary on the event aren’t alone as others have voiced similar underwhelmed comments, with the Tokyo Game Show notably smaller this year.
Inafune-san used Dead Rising 2 as an example though of what Japan can do right, although ironically the bulk of actual development is being done outside of Japan.
