Open Warfare: "Many Western Developers Making Terrible Games" Says Bayonetta Studio

The ongoing war of words between the West and Japanese game developers has seen a return of fire from the Eastern Front with Bayonetta studio, Platinum Games, man Atsushi Inaba slamming the West for making some 'terrible games'.

Inaba's comments come after a major Western publisher, in this case, Ubisoft, saw its representative - in this the case creative director of Assassin's Creed 3 Alexander Hutchinson stated that - said that:

"Just think about how many Japanese games are released where their stories are literally gibberish. Literally gibberish. There's no way [a western developer] could write it with a straight face, and the journalists say 'oh it is brilliant'."

For his part, Inaba tells Edge:

"I don't like it when people lump Japanese games developers all together into one group. Frankly, I think it's a joke. What do these people know?"

"Think about Western developers. There are many Western developers making terrible games, and then you see one like Infinity Ward making a game that sells 20 million and everyone goes, 'hey, Western developers are amazing!'

"There are tons of terrible Western developers, just like there are tons of terrible Japanese developers. To lump studios together in great masses misses the point."
