Famitsu: Top 20 most anticipated games |
Ó
Up ahead are the results of last month's (March 23 to 29) Famitsu voting polls for their reader's most wanted video games. Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII game for the PS3 tops the chart, followed by Dragon Quest IX for the NDS, also a Square title. Coming in fourth is Capcom's Biohazard 5 game (aka Resident Evil 5), with Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4 at fourth - we note this is the only Konami title here. With this survey posted, we can finally understand where the Enterbrain president bases his recent comments on - the two games he made mention of are right in the upper quarter of this list, with FF XIII's portable kin (Lion War, Revenant Wings) also among the other must-haves in the polls.

Yeah, thats pretty close to my list, cept KH3 is on there.
Uh ok, last I checked I wasnt living in Japan. This news is useless.
Where's the Halo the XBox Fans keeps bragging about???
oh not everybody likes shooters which is what most of the good games in that console are... and USA is not the only place that counts...
so please unless Halo has reached the international stature of FF and MGS... just stop the comparisons and make it seem like that game is bigger than these legendary franchises.
methinks someone needs to learn roman numerals
FFXXIII = FF 23
FFXIII = FF13
I thought it was a typo, but it was typed that way more than once ;)
someone sounds bitter???
Says that FF vs XIII is coming to PS2. Typo? But other than that, I never knew that Res Evil was so huge in Japan. Noob-ish, I guess
Good to see the PS3 up there on the list. Top 13 is all Sony/Nintendo. Doesn't look like there is any hope for 360 in japan.
hahaha... that might be true but for a reason.
you see i'm an old school gamer, i'm 29 and grew up playing FF... this game is part of my life... but recently XBox fans are dissin the game saying that it should be put to rest and that it's no where near Halo (only because it's a game played on the rival console)... and even saying the same thing to MGS... i'm actually sugarcoating it cause the way they speak of these games it's like it's sh*it compared to Halo...
some people, like me, are then turned off by Halo because of this... proper respect should be given... my message above says "where is Halo with all the bragging that XBox fans keeps on spewing??"... "If it's so big i'd expect it to be in the same international stature as FF and MGS if both games fail to even compare to Halo"... but i never said that it is a sh*itty overrated games... cause I respect Halo for what it has brought to the gaming world.
ps3 games > wii games
What surprises me more than that list is how the Wii's so popular over there, yet SMG didnt make the list...
Anyways, I'm glad that the Japs also think that Halo's overrated, I mean...its just aliens and guns....just like gears of war....lost planet..prey....I'm prbly missing more.. but yeah
And what's Dubtosumi Mori for the Wii...?
Thanks for pointing that out. :)
Wheres GTA?????????
Hot Shot Golf 5 on there. Great series. Hope to see the demo soon in NA. It's also funny to see a tie for 13th place. I would choose Crisis Core, but I enjoy RPGs to fighting games.
Will probably do some good, I'm sure.
This looks kind of biased for a poll, Most of the games are for the PS2/3 and Brawl is 13 on the list. Blasphemy i say!!
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE
i see Sony ruling this list.... oh noes!!! i guess this means the ps3 is trully doomed....
QJ SUCKS
.
So does Final Fantasy. LOL
Bigger and OVERRATED!!
REVIEW SCORES
HALO >>> MGS
HALO >>> FF
SAD TRUTH
go get urself a dog and f*uck it!
kids like do nothing else but ruin decent forums...
as i said get a dog... or if you cant just ask ur mom what time she gets off work... a good tip>>> start with her t*ts
don't f*cking piss me off.
So, apparently the PS3 will eventually be popular in Japan, but not until the AAA titles come out. This must give Sony some hope.
that's part of their plan ebola...
as for "hope" i don't think they're not panicking yet cause inspite of some people already having their consoles for more than a year now this head-to-head battle between between PS3 and XBox360 actually just got started... i mean as i said before my PS3 isn't even 1 month old yet since it was launch here in Australia 23rd of March... so it's too early to doom the PS3...
the AAA titles always helps but people just needs some time to save up but already has their minds set, the sales of XBox here are starting to flatline a little bit cause probably most people who wanted one already has one while the PS3 is still on the rise... we won't know if it could reach XBox's perch but it is interesting to see... other people will settle for any decent games before buying a PS3... i've got four friends who are getting one cause Oblivion is coming out next week... i know they could have played it on XBox or PC but they opted to wait for it on the PS3 cause that's the console of their choice...
Japan is a big market and if PS3 sales hikes up in that region it will be a huge boost... not saying it will beat XBox entirely but it just makes it more interesting...
why cant i comment my rant of jack thompson on the article above?
it's funny reading this list and not seeing Halo 3 on it because everyone knows that when it does come out it will out sell all the rest just like halo 2 did
Sells are sells. Games are games.
Buy the ones you like. Ignore the ones you don't.
It doesnt bother me that a group of people doesnt like the same thing I do.
emm, where's ratchet and clank?
i dunoo if there is some sort of bias there but why are those ps3 games listed as ps3 only when alot of them are coming to the 360 as well. The fact this wasn't mentioned is testament to how bad the 360 is being marketed in japan. The only thing stopping the 360 from making a dent over in japan is marketing and thats the unbiased truth.
What a horrible comeback. Don't try to justify your views then post gross remarks. I have just concluded that you're not 29 but probably some 14-year-old trying to act mature.
Good job on failing at life.
please just read ur comments before you make your "conclusions"...
better yet i'll run it down for you.
First: QJ Sucks then lots of spaces and LOL So does FF...
not valid point of argument... nothing to do with the article at all but just vent on QJ who just posted the article... not in favor of your views so u just felt like telling them that they suck...
Second: Halo over both FF and MGS and then Sad Truth... once again no valid argument. Nothing relevant or remotely connected to anything in which the article says. Just someone sho isn't happy about what he saw...
a list that doesn't support his preferences. and so what do you do??? ruin forums cause it doesn't do anything good to u or ur views by means of immaturity and useless remarks...
that's why i tell u to just suck on ur mom's t*ts cause apparently u lack the appropriate nutrition to work that brain of urs to the level of normal people... u really need it kid and don't just come and ruin forums with ur immaturity and stupid remarks.
a point there... a better marketing will take the 360 a long way, i'm saying that because of the apparent untapped market in Japan by XBox... But I think the biggest thing stopping it is not marketing but the presence of Nintendo and Sony.
and also some cultures are not big on shooter games... so more variety in elite games could help XBox...
as that guy weezar mentioned from a post above... Halo, Gears Of War, Crackdown, Prey... and others...
Coming in fourth is Capcom's Biohazard 5 game (aka Resident Evil 5), with Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4 at fourth - we note this is the only Konami title here.
Mistake ^
Lost Planet... a good game but still another shooter... they have to give Japanese gamers something more than just a bunch of very good shooter games...
Lost Odyssey is a testament to this.
alot of them are coming to the 360? what the heck. i dont see any except dmc4 that's coming to the 360. lol. please name another ps3 title on there that's coming to the 360.. O.o i dare you. lol sad fanboy.
15# (Wii, Nintendo) Doubutsu no Mori is the name for animal crossing in japan.
WTF WHERE IS Nights!
Japans sales are low, lets see what the USA etc want to.
Having been to japan a few years back, i can tell why games like Halo get so little attention over there. The Japanese embrace cuter, cuddlier games. Violence isn't as much a big seller in Japan as is in America, that's not to say there's not a market for it over there but it's just no where near as big as the American one. Even games like the famous Biohazard (Resident Evil) don't see as much impact as one would think. While i'm no Halo fan i will not discredit the game but i will say that if you compare it to Final Fantasy in Japan you're liable to be laughed at.
some people don't think that there is much depth in shooter games...
don't get me wrong i think shooters are ok... i'm redoing the mission again of Resistance in hard mode right now...
but if you read up on some comments and some articles some people do think that shooters doesn't have that much of a depth and some even say that it is one of the easiest genre to design a game around... even detailing that it doesn't really need a lot of imagination to conceptualize and variation in styles is not that important.
but it's a case to case thing... i mean i'm a sucker for NBA games... i get them all... they may all look the same to other people but to me it doesn't matter.
I like the list. Playstation is dominating! Woohoo!
well blue dragon is going to help push 360 sales in japan i think so thats a none shooter. im wanting on gundam musou thats another game that was made for japan to push ps3s that game looks cool .psn..roshod hit me up

This list is from Japan, the only region the PS3 is not last place in sales.
PS3 will do OK in Japan, everywhere else however, will be a very difficult battle.
even if you're a 29 year old, u probably don't have a gf or life considering you're on QJ half the time giving us your unwanted opinion
any excuse to play with their wii in japan
even if youre a 29 year old, u probably dont have a gf or life considering youre on QJ half the time giving us your unwanted opinion, so i speak on behalf of everybody here when i say "***** off, u butt-*****ing loser"
more conclusions... assumptions... or whatever you like to call them... unwanted opinions or not deal with it!!!
fail at life??? loser??? spend half my time in QJ??? no girlfriend??? u couldn't be more wrong...
i'm actually a married man, got hitched last year... i'm a naval officer who's on leave cause my wife gave birth to my son three weeks ago which if you would check is when i posted my first message in QJ... not working but currently continuing my studies in Literary Arts... i've got an XBox which my brother has in his room, a PS3 and a Wii in our entertainment room, i've got a PS2 at the base as well as the other guys, bought another PS3 to take with me...
i guess that gives me a right to me on this site... i don't know you dsa so i don't judge you... but the next time u reply to any of my post try to read my message and reply accordingly and don't go half ***** spewing unbased opinions...
metroid prime corruption...where the heck is it?
unbelievable,
why does QJ keep making mistakes with roman numerals...
80% of the articles with an FF game in em have/had a numeral error..
we'll just see about that in 2 years..
In Japan. The only region the PS3 is more popular than either of the other systems.
Dobutsu no Mori is Animal Crossing.
nobody cares about 2 years....2 years doesnt exist over here.
HALO>>>>>MGS
HALO>>>>>FF .......my @$$! have you actually seen the reviews?
HALO- 9.5< MGS3- 9.8/10 on most sites and by more official sources
HALO-9.5 < FF7- 9.8, FF8- 9.5, FF9-9.5
so stfu!
where is manhunt2?
im looking forward to it!!!
BlacKDraGoN_ on PSN
leader of [dlk] Dark Legacy Klan on Resistance: Fall of Man
Go to metacritic numbnuts. Makes you look less of a *****.
they love violence, u ever see the movies that come out of japan, or anime/manga, total violence.
HALO IS NOT ON THE LIST!!!
get over it ok???? it id not on the list!!!! on this list... on this article... this discussion... ur Halo doesn't cut it!!! i don't know what else we are discussing here...
it's a top 20 list.. FF and MGS are in the top 5... Halo isn't even on the list!!! u've got to learn to pick ur battles.
why is devil may cry 4 at 17?
i neeed battlefield ps3 kill kill kill.
No one owns a 360, in japan, why would they care what games are on it.
I don't want any of these games except SSMB Brawl...
I don't give a crap if Halo isn't on the list. It's Japan for christ's f*ckin sake. Go away son. You're making yourself look even more pathetic looking for my posts.
sorry if u embarrassed urself... ur own fault...
pick ur battles as i said... good going saying ur claims about games when infact nothing on the said articles supports any of ur opinions...
and next time u post try something concrete and none of ur fanboy BS...
as he said... grab a pig.
to disappoint:
MGs 2/3(you can get these on xbox as well) -10.6mil
Halo 1/2- 13 mil.
So you are wrong about halo not being in their ranks. Infact, halo 2 has outsold every metal gear game individually on the playstation in just over two years AND with lessthan 25%of playstations user base (owned?)
Second, this list forgets to mention that RE5 and DMC 4 are coming out for 360. Rest of the games are more jp centric so I cant really comment.
1. Final Fantasy XIII [Ps3]
2. Metal Gear 4 [Ps3]
3. Super Smash brothers brawl [Wii]
4. Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core (PSP)
5. Final Fantasy Versus XIII [PS3]
6. Resident Evil 5 [PS3/X360]
7. Ratchet and Clank [Ps3]
8. Metroid [Wii]
9. Heavenly Sword [Ps3]
10. Grand Theft Auto 4 [Ps3/Xbox360]
so that means in my opinion Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear 4, Super Smash brothers, Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil 5, Ratchet and Clank, Metroid, Heavenly Sword and Grand Theft Auto 4 are all better then that Generic First Person Shooter called Halo where the enemies either run from your toy looking hero for no reason or are nothing but running globlets.
sigh.. how did that game ever get popular?
the people at eb games dont know a thing about games i ask for FFX2 and i get FF12 not like im complaining or anything they just lost $30 lol. i was gonna get FF12 anyway but i guess i got cheap :)
