What I find strange is that people instantly assume he's gonna work for TN/KT again, that was never confirmed or said xD I think people in general should stop worrying about the stigma and put that energy into the community itself
@KasumiLover Yep. It's one of the reasons why he kept mentioning on FB that he "wanted to do his own thing" because Itagaki knew that if he stepped in there, shit won't exactly always "go his way". He wants to make his own games that isn't always tied to company standards.
If he does make another fighter I would be willing to play it, although it probably won't be the same since DOA was his game and I don't think he can make another character like Kasumi. If he ever returns to KT and TN willingly tho, he could definitely help with stage and costume design xD
Yeah, it'd be interesting to see an action-adventure and fighting game from him in which enough development time has been put in. He's not going to return to KT, especially not after how they handled Ninja Gaiden and DOA (by that I don't mean that they ruined them really, just that they became different compared to when Itagaki was working for them). Something has to be changed inside, just like Dbomb said.
