Wasn't Hayashi the AI guy for Ninja Gaiden? If he is on board, maybe it isn't all to shit. That said, the next Itagaki made game will have shit AI.

Looking forward to Tecmo's shitty FPS then.

Tecmo contracted out by Capcom to make Lost Planet 2.

even tho they would be completely shitty w/o itagaki i can't believe that they're not at least going to continue established franchises.

itagaki WERE ARE YOU?!

Itagaki is too busy fighting incendiary ninjas somewhere around the world.

MCD · « **Reply #65 on:** July 21, 2008, 05:48:31 AM »

never mind ninja gaiden, i can't believe they aren't doing a new dead or alive game.

Continuing in our hit list of high-profile interviews is our conversation with former Team Ninja-boss Tomonobu Itagaki. You asked for it, you got it. In his first interview since leaving (and suing) Tecmo, we got the man in black to bring us up to speed with what he's been doing, what his thoughts are on the Japanese gaming industry, and what he's up to next. It's interesting, because he has some strong words to say about the previously-mentioned Kamiya (and Kamiya's game Okami), due to the fact that Kamiya had some strong words to say about Ninja Gaiden. FIGHT! Love him or hate him, you can't help but listen to him, and we've got the newly-liberated Itagaki, first.

Sure he did. Then again, I probably am not the market for a hentai dating sim volleyball game or a mediocre fighting game series. Ninja Gaiden is still awesome. Ninja Gaiden 2 is not as awesome, but it is still pretty great. Ninja Gaiden DS is bad. Okami is harder than that scribble crap.

Okami was a pretty great game, only problem is that it took too long and it was way too easy.

kamiya isn't even worthy of standing in the same room as itagaki. perhaps if in some crazy world they work together itagaki will let kamiya crawl around in his great shadow, as it should be.
