Weekend Confirmed 78 - Gears of War 3, TGS '11
by Xav de Matos, Sep 16, 2011 12:00pm PDTWeekend Confirmed and the 8-4 Podcast have merged into one during the Tokyo Game Show once again! Garnett Lee and the crew at 8-4, Ltd.--behind such games as Shadow of the Damned--discuss their experience in Japan during TGS 2011. Then, Jeff Cannata and Xav de Matos take over from sunny, southern California and talk about Gears of War 3, the nefarious pricing structure of Crimson Alliance, and a handful of other games before ending it all with a few Twitter questions. The US segment was so quick that the WC Crew didn't even have time for Finishing Moves!

And it wasn't really until the latter half of last generation that people really started to voice their frustration that Japanese games were feeling stale and old.
So from the release of the NES to the end of last generation, that's what? 20 years? Western games have been in the limelight for half that time. They may not be 'new' anymore, but people haven't grown tired of them either.
And eventually, if nobody in the west evolves, then gamers will.
