Sucker punch are beasts. Sony has so many talented devs to draw from. As long as they have these aces they will continue to succeed.

Any setting can work and sell, as long as the game itself is good. The days devs realize that will be a great move forward in gaming brand.

Well I though GoT was well received in west more due the quality than the Japan's culture thing.
In the past several Samurai games had success in west... people loves the Samurai's culture here.

It just that we lacked quality Samurai's games until GoT.

Quality triumphs over settings every single time.

Devs should look at they did wrong in quality terms to understand why they game failed instead to blame the settings choose.

Yep, there are games i loved so much and that made me love and discover culture that i didn't know much about (Italy renaissance with AC2 and Brotherhood), and there are games that just sticks even tho the setting was something i'm fan of (Viking era AC Valhalla)

As you are saying, you can have culture and setting preferences, but it's the game itself overall quality that will have the last word.

So like 4 damn Onimusha games didn't tell them that?
The last new Onimusha game was in 2006, unless you count that browser game.

Times change. Markets change. A lot of games that once did very well suddenly had interest fall off. And given GoT has sold more than the entire Onimusha franchise, and given especially the expectations Sega has for any wide-release game, I can see how GoT would convince them more than the PS2 games or a remaster where over half the copies were sold in Japan.

Onimusha games are fantasy games
Yes but that Samurai fantasy war always wanted. I'm still shocked it took a western studio to do this, so damn backwards lol

lol well I think they mean at the time they were thinking of porting it.

@Kokoloko Agreed. Would love some open world Onimusha 5 type thing

Open world samurai devil slaying I feels been done with Elden Ring nearly perfectly. I'd LOVE to see a similar game but with Capcom style combat. The market wants things that just aren't being served.

Yes, it made them confident people will buy anything mid as long as it's "PlayStation" exclusive.
