brofists for the ultimate team ninja bro.

Fuck yeah oatmeal!

I think Kamiya-san makes good games. However, I think they, the systems, gameplay elements in his game tend to be rather shallow and he makes up with that through stylish presentation. I think if you were to compare them directly, the combat and other gameplay elements in Ninja Gaiden II are much deeper than projects that he works on.

...In my games its all based on a back and forth with the enemies, its very interactive. You feel like you're pushed to the brink but you manage to survive, the enemies are as out to get you as you are to get them. Whereas other types of action games, one of which being Devil May Cry, enemies exist there as objects on which you unleash your attacks.

makes okay games. has a creepy fetish for his female characters and is the most arrogant sonovabitch alive.

i mean... woo

1UP: What do you think of the Dynasty Warriors series?

TI: As a real man, I find no feeling of achievement in beating up millions of defenseless enemies. As for my opinion as a gamer, my free time is too valuable to spend it hacking away at an endless stream of dumb-as-a-brick opponents.

I dunno about that. I like DOA for the T&A factor, and I like Ninja Gaiden 1 for the asskicking play, but Ninja Gaiden 2 sucked and he's an arrogant son-of-a-bitch.

Doesn't mean he isn't right on some things when he speaks out to journalists.

1U: Well, along those lines, are you looking forward to Tekken 6?

Itagaki: Tekken sucks. I don't know what you're talking about. First they put in all of these half-finished "features", then they take them right out again. Tag fights, elevation differences, walls. I don't know if it's because they're impatient, or because they lack the ability, but no matter the reason those guys are a pretty weird bunch.


Any of those things would have become a bonafide feature if they took the time to do it right (laughs). Oh, and come on guys, let's quit trying to hide the prehistoric nature of the main product by tacking on some absurd "bonus game." I have been saying this for 5 years, haven't I? If you have the time to make an action-style "bonus game", why don't you create an honest-to-god action game and sell it as a standalone product? Oh, and if you're going to bother including such a "unique" form of ball play, you should do a beach volleyball game instead (laughs).

Truth. However, he does need to see a dermatologist. Badly.

I fucking love this guy

I suddenly have a hankerin' for some oatmeal.

Landed most recently was a jab to Heavenly Sword's chops, where the Ninja Gaiden creator called

the upcoming PS3 title "half-assed" for its on-screen button pressing sequences.

"I've never played a good game where the developers put a big icon of the button you're supposed

to press onscreen," Itagaki told Electronic Gaming Monthly. "I look at Heavenly Sword and it

seems really half-assed, because it's asking you to do all these button-timing sequences but you

are not getting much pay-off from it."

Can someone post the Itagaki/Cookie comparison pic?

Fuck, beat me to it.

>>24527233
Nah brah, he has some of the most interesting and forward-thinking opinions about the future of game design. Look for his interviews.

>Sakurai is god tier troll
fix'd for you.

Tecmo treated him like shit and caused him to resign, he was basically the heart and soul of that company. I hope they fall soon.

My friend saw him at E3 in the bathroom one year and was this close to dragging him into the stall and beating the shit out of him.

Sakurai and Kojima are casuals
