Why did they have to die?
The atmosphere in R4 is unmatched and I dont know why they never could have replicated it again with their other games
Entire PS1 atmosphere cannot be replaced
What exactly was it that made it so special?
making the most out of new 3d techonology and the y2k future aesthetic of the time is undeniably cool
there's a reason why it's making a comeback with zoomers
For me it's
I hated the drifting in that game I am so bad
Don't forget CALL OF DUTY

Splatterhouse was never good. It had its chance with its whack GoW-clone.

fricking breasts
Namco is super underrated in that no one really knows them in the West outside normie crap like Pac-Man and Dig Dug
>Soul Caliber
>Tekken
>Ridge Racer
>Time Crisis
>not known
It's "normalgay", newBlack person
Those are all normie games dude. I'm talking about stuff like Tower of Druaga, Yokai Dochuuki, Phelios, Tower of Babel and Burning Force
how about games that are actually fun and not relics that only a balding middle-age nip would even remember fondly of
>I don't know those games so they must be bad
Go away zoomer.
Those games u listed are boring, and there are much better alternatives.
Have you actually played them
I'm guessing the answer is no. Typical Westerner who doesn't bother to learn more about the company behind their favorite games
Is there anything worse than a westerner?
Yeah, which proves they have more normalgay stuff than Pacman.
Zoomer please die of aids
Ahem

Namco was by far the best japanese studio during 5th and 6th gen. Forget Capcom, Konami, Square, SEGA, Nintendo, frick all of 'em.
This. They have a better track record than Konami when it comes to arcade stuff
>Tekken
Tekken 8 is going strong and despite people b***hing about the Heat system, its arguably the most popular fighting game right now
>Ridge Racer
Nobody cares after 7, or Unbounded
>Ace Combat
AC7 did well, but idk. Sequel soon?
>Time Crisis
peaked with 3, and namco really didn't know how to keep the franchise fresh and appealing to younger kids.
>Katamari
Didn't they remake the first game? Not much to do but remake the sequel.
>Soul Calibur
6 sucked so much ass, its insane. homosexuals cry that it wasn't marketed properly, but plenty of normies bought it, and all the casuals were having a ball with the create-a-character bullshit. Rostergays had Geralt, 2B, and Haomaru.
Whoever thought Reversal Edge was a good idea should get shot and thrown in a ditch. REST IN PISS.
>Pac-Man
Wasn't the first pacman world game released a year ago?
>Galaga
dont u mean Galaxian? u frickin underage zoomer shit.
8 is the SC 6 of Tekken. It's the death of the series. In fact, all the homosexuals that ruined 6 with its shitty gambling mechanics moved to the Tekken team to ruin that series too. Harada and Murray should be pilloried.
What a useless reply
Tekken and From got too big for their own good.
>make super soulful 3d environments for Namco Museum on the PS1
>never do this again for any of the other Namco Museums
Namco occupies the same place in my head as Sega where they're just sitting on a huge pile of dead/zombie IPs that they can't utilize. I'm not a big arcade game fan, but they've got some interesting console offerings as well
>Why did they have to die?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namco#Financial_decline_and_restructuring_(1998%E2%80%932005)
>Anxious about the company's continuing financial struggles, Nakamura suggested that Namco begin looking into the possibility of merging with another company.[7][174] Namco first looked to Final Fantasy developer Square and Dragon Quest publisher Enix, offering to combine the three companies into one.[174] Yoichi Wada, the president of Square, disliked Namco's financial showing and declined the offer.
Holy frick
they ran out of money and bandai scooped them up
Sounds like they

Who could have seen this coming?
You literally have your answer right here illiterate
They were buttfricked by the Japanese recession.
moron
The world did end in 2012. We live in hell now.
