I loved when they had him list the 5 worst games of all time.

And he listed all Tekken games for them.

hahaha

Yep. He would get banned if it hadn't given a reason for his complaint -- but he is still crazy. But the guy's dev group make good games, so what can you say? He is a hater and a player at the same time.

The fans have spoken. Concerning the graphics of the Halo 3 Beta: "There's so many little effects and things going on that make this game pretty much 2nd only to Gears at the moment."

Dying to see what they end up doing with Ninja Gaiden 2. Extremely excited to see what that game looks like.

well all we know so far, is that it will make other developers lose their motivation :p

The only port is Ninja Gaiden Sigma for PS3. Ninja Gaiden DS I guess as well.
No way dude, Dragon Sword is an entirely separate game from Black/Sigma.

Top 5 most hated games in no particular order

I no longer can figure out what the hell they're trying to do with the numbering, and I don't know which one is which. I don't know what they're trying to do with all of these spin-offs, so this includes Nina: Death by Degrees as well. I don't think it even needs saying, but people should stay away from Tekken. Nothing left to say. I just don't want them to disappoint me any more. It's so annoying. Please don't annoy me any more.

you're the best itagaki

COD 4's pre-alpha stage looks better than most game's gone gold stage.

E3 2K7- best. e3. ever.

Saying you cant find animaton in Japan is like saying you cant find food in Italy. Its simply not true.

I would assume their one spinoff includes itself when mentioning the spinoff, yes. :)

But I agree, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.. that's some confusing stuff right there. Luckily, Dead or Alive just goes up to 4, otherwise we'd have a problem!

^^ Says Sath with the Ninja Gaiden Avatar! lol :D I think we can all aree that Ninja Gaiden had a half assed AI but Man The pay off when you know how things work are just incredible. Ninja Gaiden is just a brilliant game, we cant deny that hehe :D Bring on NINJA GAIDEN 2 Biaaaa*** :D
Hehe yeah what did you expect, me having M. Fenix :S
I got so bored with NG Black, but now with next-gen features for NG Sigma, Its back!
And yes I am about to take back my title from NG Black on NG Sigma as "Master Ninja".
Posted by LEBATO
I really see nothing wrong with that.

Anyways, Ninja Gaiden is IMO the best of its kind. So there's more weight to his words that way.

Now he also said “I’ve never played a good game where the developers put a big icon of the button you’re supposed to press onscreen,”

Which tells us he doesn't like Shenmue nor RE4...WTF?!?!?
And God of War :S


But I think Tekken has more of that "power" to its attacks than DOA, it really shows and sounds when you are hitting the enemy and the sound it sounds you are hitting brick all the time.

Tekken is less anime than what DOA is, so it depends. I like DOA and Tekken (considering I bought Tekken 5 DR off PS Store) but I have to say DOA is a button mashing game than what Tekken is.

I tried do a button mashing yesterday and I failed quite badly. You gotta take it easy and learn the combos to become good in Tekken.


Now about Itagaki!

He better got damn give us something on NG 2 TGS, which is like next month.
For someone to say this and that about that certian game, that person have to deliver much better then.
If you cant walk the walk dont talk the talk :P

But yeah, Itagaki did say he is going for a new art direction on NG 2, so I hope its much more futuristic kind of type, like the ending of DOA4 Ryu had.

And if he is smart enough, online co-op. He just needs to introduce another ninja/warrior. Either be it Hayate from DOA series because both of them are helping each other, so Hayate would be awesome.

If not, create a new one.

I for one think Heavenly Sword is a amazing game, sure its a demo we all played, but its a just a teaser to whats to come.
Other videos shows how beautiful it looks in term of art design and all.
The combat is a learning thing, especially the "counter" and "Aerial Attacks" with.

Heavenly Sword and NG is quite different from each other, and I don't think he should bash them for whats different.
Its not exactly like he created the genre :P

I didn't like the HS demo, way too short.

Itagaki just seems to hate every game other than his own nwhich is in the same genre.
wrong, he praised God of War, he says it was a great game on 1up show. I totally disagree though.

I played the demo, it was enough for me to see how they have designed the fighting, which is the core of the game.

My opinion is that NG is better.

I don't need to have played a retail copy of HS to make up my mind about that. There are certain things about HS that have not and will not change between the demo and retail - so I can draw my conclusions with confidence.

But I'm sure you would agree that you couldn't review the finished product based on a pre-release demo?
