How is he a "scumbag"? I dont recall him lying about stuff or screwing anyone over. If anything, he's gone through hell with scumbag publishers. being a little brash in interviews doesnt make him a scumbag.
You must have forgotten the sexaul harrassment case he had where 1 female employee said he stuck his toungue in her mouth.

He's really overrated in my opinion. The only amazing game he made was Ninja Gaiden. 2 felt like a rushed mess and the best DOA isn't made by him.
That is all I am saying. Some people are treating the man like he's Miyamoto or Kojima or something.
 
Are we going to get Yoshi in June like everyone else too?

They really should release in August before all the big games and Mario Maker. At least help it get a few more sales.

Yeah, I realize Yoshi was pushed to Fall in NA and all, but I was just guessing. August seems like a good month for this, or maybe even July.

Was he convicted of any wrong doing? Did he admit to actually doing this?
You make this statement that he sexually harassed someone as if it is a fact.

He claims that the allegation was a lot of bullshit, and it was one of the things that helped to strain his relationship with Tecmo since they seemed to "side" with her, but yeah, as said above, he settled out of court. That doesn't prove guilt since there's a few reasons one would go this route, but it doesn't exactly make anyone look good to do so.
 
I think this looks really fun. I'm just kind of sad the online player base will probably fall off a cliff shortly after launch.
Anarchy Reigns all over again.
 
He settled it outside of court. What do you think happened?

There are a number of reasons why parties would choose to settle out of court. So there is no proof or conviction of sexual harassment and to assert/allude/claim otherwise would be wrong, unfair and disingenuous
 
Surprise, surprise looks like we're entering jank cinty, is gonna be a bumpy road of shitty animations, clunky melee combat and TPS/FPS stupid transitions.

Can't believe THIS will be the last Itagaki console game....

Given the case immediately after where they found in his favor that Tecmo didnt pay him millions in bonuses, it seems like they were trying to get him fired so they wouldnt have to pay him.

Also weren't you the guy in my chat the other day randomly complaining about itagaki? And with your facts wrong taboot lol

When has anyone ever said that

People agree ninja gaiden black is one of the best action games of all time. and it is. End of story.
 
Has anyone translated what Itagaki says in the video yet?

Itagaki posted this one facebook:

We made new footage, with my speach and comment about the game's mechanism.
My speaking is Japanese, but I strongly want you guys to check this new video.
I promise that you won't waste your time, in other words, it's amazing


I don't know, as ridiculous as this game looks, I really can't for it. It looks like it runs at a good framerate.
 
Why are the graphics not even better than Ninja Gaiden black right?
But oh well, I will play this game the way I did God hand,
I played it for the combat system and that alone will make the game great for me.

Funny it seems that any game that I buy always bombs

Examples:

Dragons Dogma
Vanquish
Anarchy reigns
Urban reign
God Hand
Okami
Bayonetta

Was MGR successful?
 
Game looks fun. Like a PS2 era mix of Vanquish and God Hand. Sure the graphics look modest at best, but it has a nice crazy, fluid feel to it.
 
Nah, they gotta give Splatoon some room when it releases in August
kappa

I think DT will be November, taking the place that CoD would have held.

But Nintendo didn't try to plug in that gap when Advanced Warfare skipped the Wii U. Why would they bother doing that now?

You have good taste my friend :). Loved all the games you listed(never played Okami though) and I still wait the day for a Urban Reign like brawler to come out. If the melee combat is fun and deep enough, the online will be enough for me to love it.
 
Seems kind of weird that a formerly THQ published game is coming out in Japan first.

But who knows where that game's development and priorities has been since then.

I just bought sleeping dogs
I'll PM you if it's any good, not sure if it has any Online components.

I beat Sleeping Dogs already and it was pretty good imo. Probably one of the better combat systems in an open world game.
-------------------------
I hope there will be lots of gameplay impressions shown during E3 for Devil's Third. A more in depth look at it might be a turnaround for some people if it actually turns out to be fun. Didn't they show this during last year's Treehouse? Vaguely remember it being shown and I hope they will cover it again.
 
it's good that this game exists. worst case: is hilarious, stupid, makes people laugh. best case: has genuinely good gameplay because they focused on that and its been worked on by people that love well made action.

the graphics remind me fondly of a time before you were an either an absurd triple aaa bonanza or a smaller indie game, with no scope in between, and the traditional console gaming market was exciting and weird and surprising and made me happy instead of a grumpy bore. it's a happy accident, stuck out of time, bless it and its deep, essential ps2ness.

Vivat the Middle Market!
 
So....It's Metal Gear and No More Heroes fused together.

I'm okay with that.

Itagaki explaining his game feels almost the same as Danny Trejo explaining his movie.

How many years ago was Ninja Gaiden Black? Did people forget how bad DOA4 was?
I will never put anybody on a pedastal for 1 great game followed by much weaker follow ups.
Cult of personality of this guy is bizarre.

But I can't get objectivity from fans as it's something that is a human trait.

I didn't think DOA4 was that bad. And not everyone dislikes Ninja Gaiden II and some think it's fantastic.

I also don't know what the hell that last sentence is supposed to mean. Are you saying people who are fans of something are sub-human? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume not, because that's really stupid to say.
 
I am not implying that fans are subhuman. I am saying people by and large can't be objective when they become fans. Take Knicks fans, I find them highly irrational but I'd never call them sub human.

By and large most people who like fighting games would not like DOA4, there was no character variety, everybody played the same when they were first not designed as such, the man hate fighting games and a whole assortment of issues.

That said most fighting game players probably won't see that DOA5 is much better because I don't expect them to be objective either. :P

As to NG2, I think it's a great game but some people forget it;s a downgrade from Black which was the third iteration on the system. :P
 
Im still hoping this will be a decent bargain bin game, something that has a lot of flaws but has a good, fun gameplay system at its core.

NG3 RE was the worst action game i ever played but still got a few hours of fun out of it, if this is a good step above that i might support it.

who are you even talking about. What cult of personality? I think you've invented these itagaki worshippers. They arent here, which is where they would be, i assume. I think its ok to continue acknowledging his success, considering it was a pretty major success. The weak games dont invalidate it.
 
US release for Devils Third is 8/28 according to Gamefly

Edit: also notable that Mario Maker is listed as a 9/30 release.. seems likely, not sure if that had been announced yet.
 
I thought this game looked bad last E3, and it still doesn't look great but... it looks like it could be a charmingly weird game with solid mechanics. Reminds me of a niche Dreamcast game on crack.

I'm expecting reviews and general opinions to be wildly mixed, but I'm definitely not expecting it to be objectively broken or painfully bad.

...Okay.

I don't really forget that, but it's a downgrade from perfection to flawed perfection, so I mean, yeah, I still think NGII is god-tier or near.

Yup, anyone with a decent understanding of game development and a sense of reason could tell you that Itagaki's Ninja Gaiden 2 was kicked out the door before it was ready. Like...the man, along with half his team quit on the day of release from what I remember, and he proceeded to successfully sue the company over unpaid bonuses. There was obvious a lot of tension there, which certainly didn't help anything. I sincerely doubt it couldn't have been in the same ballpark of quality if they had been allowed to finish it. The combat system itself is god-tier in NGII, plus DOA has always been a great fighting game in my opinion.

As for Devil's third, the gameplay looks like it could definitely have some Itagaki-style depth and balls-to-the-wall viciousness. The cutscenes and character designs sort of look cheesy in a heavy metal magazine sort of way. I'm hopeful it will be great at it's core, although I am worried Itagaki's inexperience with shooter design could prove to hurt the game. Lets be honest though, games aren't made by one person, except small indie project. It takes a big, great crew, with great culture, discipline, a lot of creativity, passion and hard work to make a game truly shine, and team NInja had that for NInja Gaiden. We'll see if Valhalla has it.

I like how somehow you are the only one who can objectively analyze these games and everyone who disagrees with you can be dismissed out of hand because they are a "fan." Thank you for that, it made me smile.

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if the NA release date is the same as EU's.

This is NoA we're talking about though, so extreme caution is always needed, in order to temper expectations.
 
Looks less janky than last year. Also that Vanquish slide tho.....

That is what it reminded me of too. Looks fun (even though not the best graphically)

I will check it out for sure. I love me a Vanquish slide (Plus Itagaki is involved so I am sold)
