Looking ahead into the next generation of the industry, what aspects of gaming excite you the most?

Itagaki-san: Well of course the Xbox 360 is what I'm most excited about right now and am most interested in. That's why I'm working on it! That was a very bad question to ask because the answer should have been very obvious. I only work on things that I am most excited about otherwise they don't capture my attention.

In fact, I think you should call this the "Bad Question Interview" or else I won't let you run it on your website!

:lol Itagaki-san is cool.

[Papi]

Hahahaha goodtimes.

 

[monchi-kun]

I saw Itagaki at E3 flanked by twin samoan bodyguards....i have the picture on my cell phone, i'll try and upload it soon

 

[PhatSaqs]

:lol :lol :lol

I’ve already been abusing the alpha kits so much that I have destroyed five of them because it overheats being that I push it too far.

:lol

 

[callous]

:lol

 

[SantaC]

Is Itagaki interviewed every week or so?

 

[FortNinety]

I may not be a #1 fan of his games, but I just love hearing what Itagaki has to say.

 

[Monk]

They really deserved it though. Worse questions than IGN, seriously WTF?

 

[SHOCKIE]

:lol
Itagak,i love this guy.

 

[Shogmaster]

Is Itagaki interviewed every week or so?

If it was up to me, I'd have him interviewed on the hour, every hour. :lol

 

[FiRez]

the title of this thread scared me a little bit.

 

[Shard]

They should have asked them why DOA 4 looks so bland and boring.

 

[Firest0rm]

the title of this thread scared me a little bit.

Why you thought he was saying something bad about Lord Xboxthreesixtious?

 

[bitwise]

Is Itagaki interviewed every week or so?

well, he is always entertaining. ALWAYS.

 

[SantaC]

If it was up to me, I'd have him interviewed on the hour, every hour. :lol

:lol

 

[Hournda]

WTF are you guys talking about? Usually Itagaki is a no BS interviewee, but in this case he's just being a douche. The question was "What aspects of gaming excite you the most?" and Itagaki who is exclusively working on the Xbox 360 and has been the lapdog of MS since Xbox 1 says....you guessed it, the Xbox 360! Wow, what a big surprise!! I could've sworn he was going to say the Playstation 3. And the question was "what aspects of gaming" excite you the most, not which console excites you the most. What a dumbass.

 

[FiRez]

Why you thought he was saying something bad about Lord Xboxthreesixtious?

something about the "bad question interview" plus "owned" is slight misleading for my english.

 

[Namomura]

LOL, this guy is always amazing !

 

[DarienA]

something about the "bad question interview" plus "owned" is slight misleading for my english.

In other words... yes you thought he was going to say something bad about MS.... well chin up little soldier, everthing is still ok in Xboxland!

i just have to say, DarienA, you have become a really irritating prick over the past month or so. everything OK at home?

 

[DarienA]

Everything is swimmingly well at home... In having a conversation online a bit back I decided that I would enjoy this forum much more if I made it a point to call people on their bullshit more often. It's worked out very well for me, I don't post here to make anyone else but myself happy.

Thank goodness for that Ignore option eh?

 

[Bboy AJ]

The question asked was about gaming in general. That was a mean answer.

 

[Pseudo judo]

Is Itagaki interviewed every week or so?

He has his own section in Famitsu Xbox magazine where every issue he gets to add his two cents on the gaming industry. A great idea really, he's certainly full of himself but his games and his humour more then make up for the arrogance.

 

[PhatSaqs]

That was a mean answer.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Sucks to put you into ignore, since I recall you made pretty well articulated posts compared to the majority.

Everyone enjoys their own brew though, eh? Wafting~ wafting~

 

[DarienA]

:lol That was a great followup Shog... Austin Powers references always work for me...and I encourage folks to call me up when they feel I'm spewing something that isn't factual.

Sucks to put you into ignore, since I recall you made pretty well articulated posts compared to the majority.

Well you'll have to make that call in determing if my well articulated posts are worth having to deal with the other stuff I post.

 

[6.8]

I really miss the Ask Itagaki segment of XBN. ={

 

[Shogmaster]

*takes a bow*

 

[Elios83]

"What’s your initial reaction to the Xbox 360 and the experiences you’ve had to this point developing for it?

Itagaki-san: It’s still very early in the stages of development, so for both hardware and software we are working with the alpha kits. I’m looking forward to getting the next version of the hardware to move ahead. What you’ve seen at this point from the trailer of DOA4 is running on the alpha development tools. I’ve already been abusing the alpha kits so much that I have destroyed five of them because it overheats being that I push it too far."


Aahahaha this guy really loves to spread bullshit :lol :lol

 

[ronito]

:lol :lol :lol

No interview for you!

 

[miyuru]

Why so cocky DarienA?

 

[mrklaw]

he's a twat. He's being interviewed by teamXbox, so of course they don't expect him to say 'PS3'. Yes, its obvious that he's interested in Xbox 360.

So answer the fucking question smart arse. What ASPECTS of gaming. Online, community, technology blah blah.

 

[CrimsonSkies]

Itagaki = The #1 Gaming Personality .

 

[sol5377]

i just have to say, DarienA, you have become a really irritating prick over the past month or so. everything OK at home?

Apparently, it's been recently discovered that DarienA has a PS3 boomerang controller permanently wedged up his ass, making civil discussion and insult-free replies that much more difficult

As for the Itagaki TXB ownage, I guess it now means he holds TXB in the same *cough* high regard as he does GAF. :lol

 

[Juice]

This guy's a poorly dressed douche bag.

 

[DarienA]

Why so cocky DarienA?

I'm not being cocky... someone asked me a question, I gave them what I thought was a pretty straightforward open and honest answer about how I see things.

It just so happens my view doesn't always jive well with other folks... oh damn I just aged myself by using the word jive....

Apparently, it's been recently discovered that DarienA has a PS3 boomerang controller permanently wedged up his ass, making civil discussion and insult-free replies that much more difficult

OMG some people really shouldn't talk.

Besides this is not the point of this thread... really.


Love Itagaki-San or hate him... his interviews will never be boring...

 

[shpankey]

Damn, Darien... that time of the month? :lol

As far as the question, Itagaki misread the question. Kind of makes himself look stupid because he answered a different question than was asked him and then had the nerve to say it was a bad question. :lol

 

[newsguy]

What a dumbass.

I agree. It would have been really funny if they actually asked the question "which platform excites you the most" but they didn't. Obviously something was lost in the translation and Itagaki made it a point to embarass them. It's nothing new, I remember on G4TV.com the show, they interviewed Allard, and after grilling him about BC he got noticeably upset and said something like "you keep asking the same question and you're not going to get an answer..." I can't remember the rest but the rest of the interview was akward.

 

[akascream]

Lol, what a hipster doofus. Somebody ought to tell this guy we don't worship game developers in the US like they were rockstars.

Just let him down gently.

 

[DarienA]

Lol, what a hipster doofus. Somebody ought to tell this guy we don't worship game developers in the US like they were rockstars.

He's trying to change that.

 

[Amir0x]

Itagaki, you make my world go rooooound!

Was it the one with Adam S.? Some one has a .gif of that part, he does a funny face expression in response to the questions.

 

[sol5377]

 

[D2M15]

I may not be a #1 fan of his games, but I just love hearing what Itagaki has to say.

I would if he had more than one thing to say.

If only there was an industry interviewee who was a posturing caricature unable to escape from their own self-image who could also give good head on why games are worth talking about, my god, it would be amazing.

Or it would be Tim Rogers, I guess.

Anyway, less interviews, more DOAX2 development, you lovable scar-faced perv.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Why so cocky DarienA?

DarienA is the Itagaki of this thread.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He's trying to change that.

Maybe in 5 years he'll be doing ProActive infomercials with Pdiddy and Vanessa Williams.

 

[sol5377]

Why so cocky DarienA?

Now if only he was funny! The chicks would be all over that.

Agree 100%. I think Itagaki was owned there. By his very own money hat. Edit: That, or his translator should be fired in the ears.
