Tomonobu Itagaki On Dead or Alive 5: “My Daughter Was Totally Ruined”

[Force_of_Nature]

It's all the fucking greys and browns, yada, yada and the oil rig stages. Doesn't change the fact that DOA5 still looks visually more appealing compared to every other 3D fighter. Killer Instinct looks pretty good visually, but 2D games can only look so interesting being limited to a 2D plane with zero environmental interaction.

 

[Bogetsu]

I wish Itagaki could reveal more details about what's on his mind for the franchise.

 

[DyByHands]

Itagaki is insane and I love it. Let's see when he ever gets Devils Thrd out, lol.

 

[Force_of_Nature]

More like Devil's Turd. OOooooo....

 

[d3v]

What do you think he plans to do?

Continue to be a troll and trash talk a series that's doing better now that he's gone instead of reflect why his last effort at it was so reviled.

 

[UncleKitchener]

Yeah, typical Itagaki. I gotta praise his tactics of initiating discussions amongst people.

That should stop most of the shitposting on online forums until LR is out.

But seriously, he needs to stay in Valhalla and finish Devil's third before it turns into another Duke Nukem Forever. I'd buy a copy just to keep him happy.

 

[Shiranui]

Oh, yeah... Totally ruined. Thousand of players playing the game not only in Xbox, but in Playstation as well.
Playing it too in Vita, and coming for new gen consoles.
Your daughter doesn't need you, Itagaki.

 

[deathofaninja]

He loves to bring up his daughter... his other ones have left him, and now he wants them back. The prodigal father.

 

[KokorosMaster]

What can you do Itagaki? Ask TN to stop making a good game? (I mean, doa5:u is not perfect, but I mean. its not like its piss poor game quality even if you don't "like" things in it)

[Squizzo]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't doa more popular than it has ever been. In my opinion (and I'm sure a lot of others) doa5 is the best iteration so far.
Itagaki can stick to his shitty looking devils third, which will no doubt flop. Then we'll see if he can still talk all that smack.

Hayashi:

I really would love it if he gave a response

 

[Edmund]

I'm looking forward to see how badly his Devil's Turd will do.

Off Topic even if always related to the comments of Itagaki to the new Team NINJA:

A fan on his Facebook page posted few days ago the old news of Hayashi calling Bayonetta outdated and Itagaki answered with:

"I've told him before, you can't go around attacking people unless you have a good reason, like if they come at you first - if you've got time to run your mouth like that, use it to improve yourself as a game designer...

I tried to teach him this but I guess it didn't get through to him."

Honestly appear very ironical to hear these words just from Itagaki considering all his past harsh statements (even if he admitted that many comments anti tekken were more for creating an image rather than for a real rivalry).

Anyway for fairness has to be said that definitely NG3 and NG3RE didn't shine for innovation compared to the previous titles developed under Itagaki. In addition the message of the fan was accompanied from an offensive picture toward Hayashi that Itagaki commented later as "very pitiable"

 

[CommanderWiggles]

For one who respects Itagaki, until his full motive is explained, I am just remaining neutral. I saw aesthetic and mechanic improvement in DOA5, but the story and quality of DLC (didn't buy any because) was not something I was happy with, and I hope that was all he was talking about.

Itagaki, Kamiya and Hayashi need to take classes on how to shut the fuck up and make their games. Hayashi And Itagaki both have shitstains on their credit scores so they would be wise to stay in their lanes.

By the time Itagaki does anything, this will be his fan base when they strike... Seriously, he just says.. ill do something. Like can we have an idea buddy? or are you just saying shit? I wanna hear it.. but he aint saying it.. convenient much?

 

[CommanderWiggles]

All I can say is, this will probably be me in a few years when coming across Team Ninja and Vahalla.
