Kazunori Yamauchi is never content, that's what makes him a perfectionist and which makes his games stand on a different level.

Hoje03084945d ago (Edited 4945d ago )

Exactly, he won't be happy until he can replicate reality. This article should not be approved simply because these 'journalists' have twisted what he said it order to start a flame war which will garner them hits. Don't support jackasses like these.

ShinMaster4945d ago

Quoted out of context again.

kaveti66164944d ago

Yeah, people do this with Molyneaux and Ninja Theory as well.

AAACE54944d ago

It's sad a lot of people looked right past the other stuff and only saw GT5!

Comparison: Yamauchi vs. Itagaki

Both are considered perfectionist and are a little cocky about their games. Their games usually get high reviews. Why is it considered that Yamauchi's games stand on a different level, while Itagaki's games are considered average by some?

Yamauchi deserves credit for his efforts, but Itagaki should as well! If all you care about is graphics, then you are a fanboy and I don't care for your opinion. But DoA and Ninja Gaiden both pushed it! Good graphics, fast gameplay, acurate controls, good story, challenging difficulty, framerates rarely dropped with all the action going on.

What more do you guys want!

xer04944d ago

I'd love to see Xbox 360 run GT5.

Wait. That's not possible is it!?

If PS3 isn't enough to satisfy Yamauchi-san, then I doubt 360 will even load the start screen for GT5!

There. I said it.

Perjoss4944d ago

360 already has Forza 2 and 3 both amazing driving games, no need for GT5 on that system. I will still be getting GT5 for my PS3 though. I feel sorry for people that only own 1 system, really.

xer04944d ago

I get tired of people using the same line.

" I feel sorry for people that own 1 system"

I own a PS3 because of build quality, and because of the awesome stable of games on the platform.

I've never been dissapointed and i've never wanted to play an Xbox 360 exclusive. Besides I have my PC for the great majority of so called Xbox 360 exclusives.

Anyway - back to my point. If I wanted to buy a second system... it'd be a the Nintendo 3DS... not the Wii.
I have 30 PS3 titles.

You'd think I'd be able to afford an Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii or all 3... if i can afford to buy 3 games a month eh!?

Back to my point. There are no games on the Xbox 360 that i actually desire. I've been waiting for Metal Gear Solid, God of War 3 and now GT5 on my platform of CHOICE! ;-)

Perjoss4944d ago

@ xer0

its not always about the exclusives, what about the fact that multiplats usually look better on the 360 or do you stay away from multiplats too?

sure I know, you will say that you play multiplats on the PC, but you say you cant afford to buy games yet you seem to have a decent gaming PC, which is not cheap ;)

AKS4944d ago

How much do you think it costs to game on PC? You can upgrade a budget multimedia PC to play most games at very respectable settings. Maybe swap the GPU, PSU, and add a couple of fans. Just a few hundreds bucks (the price of a console) and you're in business. And PC games are significantly cheaper.

xer04944d ago

Dude - where did I say I can't afford to buy games?
I have 30 PS3 games and counting. That's not including my PC games, which I purchase of STEAM.

And no - my PC isn't cheap. I upgrade the components every year!

Nope, Ninja Theory spoke out too boldly. Plain & Simple.

"New Dante is the new cool"?

My ass.

-End statement

AKS4944d ago

There were plenty on this website claiming that NT hated Naughty Dog when it was quite clear from NT's actual comments that they consider ND to be the gold standard for action games. They named Uncharted quality as their goal because they admire Naughty Dog.

DigitalAnalog4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

However, the only thing that went out of context was when it was compared to Uncharted 2's animations when they actually meant the "original" Uncharted.

This does not excuse them by saying "1.5 million is poor sales", "New DMC is the new cool", etc etc.

-End statement

BubbleSystemSuck4944d ago

why some one change the real Title?
Performance>Speed

CREESH4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

Poor sense of speed.

PS360fanboy4944d ago

The GT3 had but GT4 and the PS1 games had an incredible sense of speed

xer04944d ago

Maybe you should go and play Burnout, Need for speed or GRID.

This is a driving simulator. Not some faddy arcade game.

nycredude4944d ago

You want to wait another 5 years for that. If not then STFU about that. Premium cars take up to 6 months to complete. You guys know shit about making a game thinking it's easy or something.

baodeus4944d ago

exactly, these fool never understand what it takes to make games as detail as you can. There are many things they have to consider, but first and most, financial part come first in business. Yes, you can make a perfect game if it takes you +10 years, but how do you survive during that time? People have got to eat first, game later. Did game just becomes top priority of the survival necessity ladder (food, shelter, companionship)?

blackburn54944d ago

The guy is a loon. I don't know what else he wants.Save something for DLC or GT6. No game will be ever 'perfect'.

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman6d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath26d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai12d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga11d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole8d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville9d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5211d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_11d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville9d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM11d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka11d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_11d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

badboyz0915d ago (Edited 15d ago )

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
