That’s because Itagaki is the most famous one to leave, but he was very vocal about not ever coming back. But no. It isn’t very common. Although seniority plays a big role in Japan. If KT wanted to release another DOA game they would call Shimbori quickly. I also wouldn’t be surprised if we...

I remember Yasuda said something similar. Well he definitely insinuated NG4 and I got railed, sacked and rimmed for suggesting it could be coming. When I was right the people that pointed fingers or called me out for it stopped posting in the forum and ran to discord instead. :/ “I can’t live...

That Itagaki line was good. I’ll give you that for sure. Well if he doesn’t publicly acknowledge that he doesn’t have any interest of going back IMO that is a sign that he would be open to coming back. He seems pretty transparent to me on his social accounts as well. What kind of DOA player...

He doesn't have the capital to do his own thing. The best thing for him to do would be to go back to DOA, fix DOA6 on a more limited budget or UE5 DOA5 to garner interest for the sequel.

Because you want him to go to Sega? That's not going to happen I'm afraid. Neither of the Shimbori tweets rule out DOA specifically and the second one definitely states he will continue working on a game. That would mean he's not "leaving the industry." It’s funny how the narrative frequently...

I understand that! I've changed the topic title to refrain from any backlash on my own personal opinion. Though I don't think it's not within reason to assume that DOA players are going to be curious about his status and would probably hope that he returns to the team now that things have...

I agree. This is simple a look at the big picture, a mere discussion of events. Not a "OH he's coming back for sure!" I know some readers will come in pointing the finger saying I'm raising hope, and that's not what this is; but I also think attempting to take better control of the narrative...

Yohei Shimbori, legendary 3D fighting game developer, has announced that he is departing from Bandai Namco after several years of working on Tekken 8 making him one of the few wild cards within the 3D side of the FGC. You never know where he might go next, and T8 definitely proved that, but...

I haven’t heard about one bad thing regarding mechanics.

DOA has the best storyline of any fighter and it isn’t even a close fight. DOA2U’s opening cut scene is better than anything any fighter has ever tried alone.
