151 desarrolladores japoneses eligen su juego favorito de 2013

Importante curro el que se han pegado en 4Gamer para repasar el año que ahora termina de una forma no menos interesante: han preguntado a 151 desarrolladores nipones por su juego favorito de 2013. En la lista de respuestas hay desde juegos que conocemos perfectamente hasta cosas extrañas que se pueden quedar para ellos, pero encima de todo está The Last of Us. Le siguen a poca distancia GTA V y Dragon’s Crown. Vuelve a quedar claro aquello de la influencia occidental que tantos disgustos no ha dado últimamente —no lo digo por Naughty Dog, me preocupa especialmente ver Beyond ahí— y la importancia del juego social, aunque hay cosas que no cambian. Sí es verdad que sorprende, como decían en DualShockers, la anecdótica presencia de Nintendo; igual ni estos tíos tienen la Wii U, lo mismo es algo del relevo generacional. Buscando nombres que nos gustan y elecciones graciosas, tenemos por ejemplo al gran Hideki Kamiya quedándose con la nueva versión de Afterburner II para 3DS, a Itagaki votando por Earth Defense Force 4, a Suda 51 haciendo honor a su mote al destacar Hotline Miami, del año pasado, o a Harada y su amor por PayDay 2; el juego salió en agosto y el responsable de Tekken «desapareció» unos días —para luego aclarar que estaba bebiendo tequila y jugando en Steam— a principios de junio, así en principio las fechas no cuadran, pero igual le mandaron un código antes. El que sabe y vota a The Wonderful 101 es Shu Takumi, responsable de los Phoenix Wright y de Ghost Trick. Tras pasar un buen rato intentando transcribir kanjis y nombres raros, me he tomado la libertad de pillar la lista completa de NeoGAF. La he repasado un par de veces y parece todo correcto, pero avisad si algo no os cuadra y lo miramos mejor. En el enlace podéis ver, además de los GOTY, las respuestas de cada uno a otras dos preguntas: la obra audiovisual o el invento más destacable del año y la personalidad a seguir.
