Yoko Taro went around in a mask, or before that, a literal sock-puppet, because he felt him being a real ordinary human distracts from the games he makes. Many game developers are not meant to make live presentations. it's like the guy who designed the casing for PS4 being brought out to a crowd back when it was introduced; the guy was shy and went back stage as soon as he was allowed.I've always observed this, but it became brutally apparent today. All while watching this Direct I kept saying "why are you showing me these people". I don't give a fuck, just show me the game. Tetsuya Takahashi the creator of the Xeno games is my favorite creator in gaming. Even so, I don't want to see this dude on camera half of the time talking about Xenoblade during a showcase. I just want to see the game and let the results speak for themselves. If I gotta see you on screen more than your game, then we got a fucking problem.
i don't mind when game developers have real insights about the games they make. But that is only interesting when we actually focus on the games themselves first. It should always be about the games, not the game makers.
