Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki doesn’t pull punches, and he expressed some rather negative opinions on Dead or Alive Xtreme 3‘s design and character selection. As a disclaimer, if strong language offends you, you might want to skip this article.
Dead or Alive producer Tomonobu Itagaki has swapped cheesecake for NFTs in his new game Warrior, which contains all the Web3 nonsense you'd expect.
Ninja Gaiden director Tomonobu Itagaki has returned to game development with a newly-formed studio, he’s revealed.
I was wondering just yesterday what happened to this guy. Dead or Alive 3 and Ninja Gaiden were among my main reasons to get an Xbox back in the day (together with Halo of course). I would be very interested to see what his new project is like.
a game like Ninja Gaiden i could totally enjoy right about now.
i would really like see what their new studio makes.
Good for him, bad for Microsoft if he continues to create bad games. This is his second studio already after he got booted from Tecmo Koei around 9 years ago.
*Back then, I asked him, ‘are you confident that you will beat PS2?’ and he said, ‘Yes. Xbox is called Project Midway and I’ll gain the supremacy with it.’*
That surely didn't work out. PS2 murdered Xbox that deserved defeat with that "midway" undertone. Like It was a war against the Japanese or something. It's videogames. 360 eventually lost to PS3. Itagaki got kicked out from Tecmo and his games have been lowered in quality since his absence with one turning into a full on micro transaction, clothing and hair simulator. Xbox One got hammered by PS4. It's early, but looks like everyone in the world wants a PS5.
Now that we are all caught up, "Honored" in this instance sounds more like, "willing to accept a check after the panning of Devil's Third." Hopefully, he's lost his arrogant personality as well. He's not a rockstar. Even in those shades he keeps wearing.
Interesting he still wants to work with MS after the failure in Japan and overall less consoles sales with X1.
They have good relationship with the company sure, But C'mon, they want that MS money. More than ever now considering he just opened up his new studio.
A look back at some of gaming's iconic hot weather levels from throughout the years, as well as a couple that you may have forgotten about.
Lol This guy's a riot. But I do agree with him on that voting system. In my opinion, they should have given the game more time if it meant we saw the full cast of characters.
Buy a vita then
Itagaki needs to seriously get over himself. To think he's the only one capable of making a jet ski course is absurd. The fact that there is hardly any western girls in the game makes perfect sense when a game is marketed to the east. Not to mention in a business sense in an age of dlc and wanting longevity for your game you would likely make the rest download characters if you want them bad enough you'll pay for it. They put out the vote the people voted that's fair enough in my book. As for the characters they are far superior to anything he did with these characters. The soft engine is amazing the breast and butt jiggle shows these programmers are far more capable than he ever could be. This guy just sounds incredibly salty that he's not a part of something big. About the only thing I agree with is that yes zack island sank but that doesn't mean he didn't make another island entirely. He should've just said that yes he was drunk because to think he was spewing out this garbage when he wasn't just makes him look incredibly stupid.
i smell DLC all the way, the problem is, if people in the west import it, i don't know how they can purchase the DLC without making a japanese separate account and adding yet more funds to that. I could be wrong but i think thats the only way. Just bring it to the west then DLC to your hearts content.
