So very true, that. The Japanese seem to be the only game developers that have a really vivid imagination and they strive for quality products (the big software houses at least). The gaming world would just plain suck gopherballs without the japanese in the business. Imagine no Final Fantasy, no VF, no Tekken, no Gran Turismo, no Mario, no nothing. Of my 35 PSX games about 30 are of japanese origin.

Of course Japan, but I also think, Australia.

Yes, Australia.

They are only begining to make games, I know, but the ones that they do make are FRIGGEN AWESOME. Bias aside though, it is true.

Melbourne House made Le Mans 24 Hours for DC, PSOne and it is coming to the PS2. This game ROCKS.

Then you have that company who made Dark Reign for PC, I thought it was crap, but it sold by the bucket load!

Then you also have RatBag.Inc, which makes all those Dirt Car games, which totally rock.

EA Gold Coast also make alot of the sport games!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!

Capcom is in Japan, so I have to say Japan. So is Konami, even though they haven\'t given me a 2D Contra or Castlevania in along time, I still have faith in them.;)

 On another note; If I never have to see another Tomb Raider game in my life, I can die a happy man.;)

Don\'t forget that they make a lot of corny crap in Japan that luckily never reaches our borders. In overall consistency I would have to say the UK and Japan are the best when it comes to console gaming; but like someone already stated, the sheer number of PC developers and ease with which one can make a PC game makes the US numero uno when it comes to PC games.

England have Rare, Codemasters (who make the best console driving games hands down), grrr, there are definately more but I can\'t think right now.

But I\'d agree overall, Japan has best developers and that\'s because the game industry is so huge there.

What is pointless is your post. "what color is the sky?!?!" That is not an open ended question. It is widely known that the sky is blue. Who makes the best console games is a question that does not have a specific answer. It is an opinion based question. (ex. If I like FPS then I would say the US. If I am into Racers then the US. If I like Platformers and Puzzle games then I would say Japan.) If you had "half a brain" then you would know that.

i don\'t think that we forgot them, we just think the Japaneze have better quality games. but there are plenty of good american and UK games i agree. monkey island I was one great clasic title, and so was DOOMII and red alert and war craft.

but still, MGS/MGS2. Final fantasies, Zelda, Pokemon, Virtual fighters, crazy taxi, tekkin series, soul calibar, front mission series, chrono cross/triger, pac-man, after-burner, street fighter series, shemune 1/2, space hariar, dayatona, are more merobale and better quality in my opinuin than anything the americans or UK can do.

As a matter of fact, a lot of the Square games are made in Hawaii.  Yes, there is a fat building in Hawaii right now making the FF movie\'s CG.  Pretty sweet eh?

Exactly, it just so happens though that most of those creative people live in Japan :)

Well, if you want to be a technical lil bastard, then the question, "what color is the sky," is not as open ended as it may seem.  At any given point in the day, the sky can register from blue, to grey, to black in any part of the world.  Half of the time, the sky is black thanks to the fact that the sun is not visible in half of the hemispheres.  In other parts of the day, thanks to the wonders if pollution, the sky can even register to be a deep red caused by the sun as the glare skips off the horizon as it sets or rises and impacts the pollution filled air.  However, this effect can not be seen in Canada.   That\'s only if you want to be a technical bastard though ;)

depends on what games you are talking about.

Japanese developers couldnt make a great PC game or PC RPG to save their souls. Also, I dont know of too many great sports games that come directly from japan.

Japan: trad. RPG, Adventure, Platform (-French for Rayman), action, fighting, and puzzle.

America- sports, PC games, FPS, Racing, and ummmm....

So maybe Japan DOES win, but only by a little!

pstwo,
buddy - I am freezing my butt off here in cold-ass Canada and you show me a pic of that delightful beach, the palm trees etc. You\'re gonna make me cry! ;)

Konami also have a development studio in Waikiki - KCEA.


Altered Beast,
The best soccer videogame series, and also one of the best sports games series, Winning Eleven (the newest incarnation for the PS2 is Winning Eleven 5 coming out in Japan on Wednesday) are made in Japan by Konami\'s KCET team. They\'re known over here as the ISS games for the Playstation (not the N64, a different team handles those games) - ISS Pro Evolution and ESPN MLS GameNight.

But apart from soccer I don\'t know any other team sports that are done well by Japanese developers.

KCEA is also in Redwood City California.  I know, I did game testing there.

Japan has square, capcom, konami, sega, polypony dig. and all those big developers! :) (maybe SONY?)

Europe has some good developers, Liverpoolstudios (wipeout), dropship developers, the getaway developers ect.

America has Volition, Ubi Soft (I think), ect.

Japan has the most videogame development studios, but the US turns out a lot more games than people give them credit for. I think a lot of people just don\'t realize how many games are actually made in America. We have EA, which is the 2nd highest grossing software company in the business, as well as tons of PC companies like Sierra, LucasArts (which is beginning to do a lot of console games too), Blizzard, Interplay, etc.
