Do you want SQUARE-ENIX to create a FOSTER's RPG?

[Bride_Of_Lister]

These are the companies that I would concider that would make the FOSTER's RPG if SQUARE-ENIX decides not to.
PLEASE accept my ideas. OK?

Woah, Square-Enix have never been approached about it, its just speculation!

I hate to say it but I find it very unlikley that any Japanese developers would touch a Foster's game with a ten foot pole.

'sides Japan isn't the final word in gaming, there are stacks of good western game companys. They can't just be glossed over, its like the anime fans who discount any and all western pop culture just 'cos it's not Japanese.

Maybe its because the Japanese can't understand our comedy and maybe its because they HATE our cartoons. The only cartoon-based games that are made in Japan are Anime Games. NO AMERICAN BASED CARTOON GAMES. Now American game developers are going to have to do American cartoon-based games. The Japanese USED to do it! For example, CAPCOM is a Japanese game company that did Disney games. KONAMI is another Japanese game company did a few Warner Brothers games, and did a few arcade games of American cartoons. For example, KONAMI has done the Simpsons Arcade Game in 1991. Then KONAMI did The Wild West C.O.W BOYS of Moo Mesa in 1992, then in 2001, KONAMI made an arcade game of one of Craig McCracken's eariest creations for Cartoon Network: The Powerpuff Girls. Is there a reason why the Japanese quit making games based on American cartoons?

Way to generalize, have you seen the Japanese fan sites for western shows?. Anyway are you agreeing with my points or not? Yes, Japan used to make games based on American cartoons but that was from the time when Japan was pretty much the end all in gaming. The first examples you site are more then 15 years out of date and are from the afore mentioned period when Japan had an even greater share in development then now.The PowerPuff Girls have been popular in Japan since the show was released there(There is even a Japanese version of the PPG) and is defiantly an exception. I'm not a market expert but I think the reason for the decline of the tiny market of Japanese cartoon games is that it is so much more expensive to make a game in Japan when you can get it done in America at a fraction of the cost.

Ah, I'm going to regret this later but I can't resist...

[Shany]

These are the companies that I would NOT have the FOSTER's game made by: ...
ALL AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES

Why are you automatically assuming that any American game is bad, and any Japanese game is good? That is an aweful generalization.

Besides, if I remember correctly, the PPG Gameboy Advance games were pretty bad. Not sure if you're talking about those.

Is the Foster's GBA game any good? What genre is it?

So that's the reason. Hmm. May I ask you a question? Since you think games made by Japanese companies that are expensive to make, which American company would be best to make the RPG? (Even though it's made in America, it MUST have that Japanese flair that the Japanese use in their games, for example, Japanese-Americans who live in America who know how to make games exactly like the Japanese.)

And the answer for your question Shany:
The Powerpuff Girls game was an arcade game (VERY HARD TO FIND),
The FOSTER'S game genre is a PLATFORMER, and the reason why I like Japanese made games over American made games is because they have that certain Japanese flair to them. Yes, I do admit, that America has made a pretty good amount of games I like, for example: Turok by Acclaim, GUN by Activision/Neversoft, Halo & Halo II by BUNGIE, and the Grand Theft Auto series . The good news is that the American made games are at least trying to capture that certain Japanese flair used in their old games from the past to the present. So I do give some credit to the American developers for doing that.

certain Japanese flair

Explain.

[megatron01]

Explain.

Japanese flair like theiir buildings in Japan, Japanese enemy names, Japanese speaking enemies, and anime girl monsters(hentai), certain japanese customs

[Jabberwocky]

Foster's would definitely work better as a platform game like Super Mario 64; I can't see how you could translate it to an RPG, and RPGs suck anyway.

Why on earth would it need a "Japanese flair"? Was that sarcasm? I can't tell. That really makes no sense. Quick Bloo, get off your futon and grab the Ryuujinyoukai and defeat the Yamata no Orochiiiiii! Bonzai bonzai bonzai!

[megatron01]

Ok, ok, Jabberwocky! It will be a stupid platformer! If it comes out, I will not play it because I like RPGs better than platformers. No offense. Why do you hate Japanese made games and RPGs? Do you think it would be a good idea to combine Platformers and RPG's together? If my questions have made you well.. as angry as Frankie, I will not try to intimidate you anymore. I'm just upset that my idea for a Fosters' RPG is stupid thanks to you people. No offense. You like Platformers. I like RPG's. Live and let live, bygones be bygones. Can we get along with each other?

[Bride_Of_Lister]

...So why does a Foster's game need Japanese flair anyway?

[megatron01]

...So why does a Foster's game need Japanese flair anyway?

I just think that they should have some Japanese named attacks for the characters and Japanese names for the characters, plus extreme violence like the banned movie, "Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend"

Extreme violence? Foster's? I'm sorry, but that is so wrong, and in so many ways.

[billytheskink]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this thread...

[megatron01]

Ok Scratch that out. I'm all out of ideas!

[Voxxyn]

Would you like it if some company took your favorite animes and 'Americanized' them against the wishes of both you and their creators?

That's the problem with your repeated insisting on a Japanese version of Foster's.
