Lack of talented and great devs

I'm assuming you're a fan of anime. Or anime based games (like most rpgs).

It's rare in those games you will find non japanese related themes.

However, when you look at the not anime styled games you will see there is plenty of good games that don't embrace japanese culture.

The thing is, all the game devs here who make a game have their stuff released here (well not all, but most). However, only the stuff thought to be successfull the North American market is sent to us from japan. These games are generally decent games because if it failed hardcore in japen's market due to quality(not gameplay, there is a huge difference in gameplay likes between us and them), it isn't bothered with.

So you're seeing a lot of crap because our game market isn't being filtered to us.

So if you take away Asia, Europe, and America who exactly do you expect to make the games? Uzbekistan? Or how about Sierra Leone? No, I don't think so.

Yes there is a lack of video-game-development-talent coming from Third World countries, but perhaps this is for the best. :|

i'm not taking Asia away only Japan. Did you ever think that maybe there are great devs not from first world countries but are just working inside big western companies? My other thread in SW gave me many answers.

to the bolded statement, please no racism and discrimination.

India must have the technical resources and they do have the biggest movie studios out side of Hollywood (Bollywood). I could see games being developed there.

The problem is that games are not just technical. You need a person with a vision, artists that can make that vision in 3D, technical talent that can make those objects move & shine and then somebody needs to fund the whole project.

I could see games being offshored. I could see a country like India's gaming market growing big enough to warrant alot of locally developed content. I don't see any of this happening real fast though, because alot of what it takes is a vision or gaming culture and that can take a generation to build up.
