Itagaki coming back to games.

[Kagey K]

Kojima can still learn from his master.

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

Has been.

 

[Kagey K]

Has been.

As a has been, he was a better was then most designers have ever been.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Really hope he has a comeback.

Not making a good game since 2008 makes you officially a "has been", Devil's Third messy development and failure both critically and commercially is proof you can have all the vision in the world but it's your staff that makes that vision a reality.
The guy's an ego maniac and i doubt he learned a lesson in these 4 years since DT's failure.

So Kojima and Itagaki are on the same level then?

Just Itagaki has less best friends.

 

[Pantz]

Wonder if he will be in London sometime next week

Mgs V came out in 2015 and 4 years later Death Stranding will come out next week.
Regardless of how you personally think of MGSV it was a massive success both critically and commercially, the gameplay was great and the game ran like butter on all consoles, and he never stopped making games, MGS4 (2008), MGS PW (2010), early stages MGR(2013), and his name is still relevant and command a lot of attention and hype.
Which can't be said about Mr. Oatmeal here, so your argumant fall flat on it's face like DT did.

 

[Fushitsusha]

I saw him in a bar in Ueno.

All of Itagakis games equal more then Kojimas so he earned that holiday, and can still come back.

it’s not his fault what Team Nija Dog did to his games.

According to whom? Doa is a joke of the FGC and at best a poor man's Virtua Fighter.
He made 2 good games NG1 and NG2, and as a director has no significance or impact on the gaming landscape unlike Kojima who revolutionized the medium with MG1 and MGS.
Historical revisionism is trualy a plauge.

The guy is a one hit wonder with Ninja Gaiden

The rest of his career has been decidedly average

And Ninja Gaiden is 15 years old now

I like you so

tell me when either of them makes a good game.

 

[CyberPanda]

After Devils Turd, I hope he makes a proper comeback. His previous work has been good, and I loved the original Ninja Gaiden on the OG Xbox.

 

[Blade2.0]

After devil's third... If you are coming back, come back with a good head on your shoulders this time.

PS. I still respect you for walking out of that Cirque du Solei Kinect bullshit thing that Microsoft was pulling. So I'm giving you a chance.

 

[Fushitsusha]

How many of you insulting Devil's Third actually played it?

 

[mejin]

imagine if he's coming back for a playstation project...

 

[Hudo]

Make a new Shinobi game for Sega, my man.

 

[PeacefulWorldGuy]

Itagaki future project:

1. Ninja Gaiden Re-Iwa: Betaru Dan Notingu
2. Devil Third: Second Chance
3. Scandal Simulator (New Ip)

 

[Tesseract]

still the beastliest of bosses for ninja gaiden (xbox), please get back to that level of fidelity

he looks rough tho, like foxdie fucked his shit up beyond repair

 

[GreyHorace]

Ninja Gaiden was a fantastic game. If Itagaki can capture the magic of that title again, I'll welcome him back personally.

Amen

 

[Birdo]

He's finally overcome the embarrassment.

 

[Inviusx]

Devils Third was ambitious as fuck, he just picked the wrong console to throw his weight behind. Wii U for a third person shooter with a massive multiplayer component? No way.

If he comes back, I hope he goes to Kickstarter with a NG successor.

 

[HeresJohnny]

Just make another Ninja Gaiden. My life would be fulfilled. I still play Ninja Gaiden Black to this day. One of the best games ever made.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

Cool, finally a new Itavania! Wait...

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Who is this guy?

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Pizzagaki when?

 

[Virex]

Has been.

 

[Virex]

How many of you insulting Devil's Third actually played it?

It wasn't great, but I liked it. There was just something about it that I enjoyed. The over the top shit was awesome and funny at times.

 

[Inviusx]

Who is this guy?

He's a famous Japanese developer, created the Dead or Alive fighting franchise and rebooted Ninja Gaiden on Xbox and Xbox 360. Ninja Gaiden on Xbox is considered to be one of the best action games ever made.

He worked on a title called Devils Third after leaving Tecmo and got fucked around by publishers, ultimately releasing the game after 8 years as Wii U exclusive and it famously bombed really bad in the West. That was 2015 and he kinda went dark after that.

Aside from Devils Third he has a pretty stellar track record.

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

Fantastic rebuttal.

 

[Inviusx]

Who is this guy?

He's also famous for making Ninja Gaiden even harder after play testers said it was too hard.

 

[FeldMonster]

Perhaps he can work with Microsoft to make a Ninja Gaiden spiritual successor.

 

[Shifty]

How unexpected. Please come back and resurrect Ninja Gaiden from the lightly-smoldering grave that Hayashi left behind, based Itagaki-san.

Also, nobody posted the oatmeal cookie yet? Y'all be slippin'

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Hope he is more humble now

 

[johntown]

All I care about is another “good” Ninja Gaiden game. Been way too long.

 

[Caffeine]

he played death stranding hes ready to create time manipulating ninja game.

 

[ISubZBR]

How many of you insulting Devil's Third actually played it?

I played.
This game was a really big shit.

BUT, ninja gaiden Black and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, so I can trust in Itagaki san.

 

[Vlaphor]

Are we sure this isn't just him coming back to social media and not game development?

Yet, it seems like that so called joke of a fighter was responsible for saving Tecmo. Yeah, Doa is misunderstood and ridiculed, but it’s impressive that the franchise is still around.

Hopefully Itagaki is back in game development. He made some of my favorite games of all time. I wish him the best.

 

[Klayzer]

Watch the same posters that are hyping him up turn on him if he does a PlayStation project.

 

[DeepEnigma]

New Ninja Gaiden, when?

Even if we do have Nioh.

 

[CyberPanda]

New Ninja Gaiden, when?

i just hope he doesn’t make another flop like Devil’s Turd.

 

[Klayzer]

Pick up the phone Tecmo/Team Ninja. Make a NG reboot game with all the awesomeness of NG that was previously seen on Xbox.

 

[thelastword]

I actually like Itagaki for aesthetics, not necessarily for the meat and bones of the game...…...I prefer his artstyle in NG games, it was more organic, better textures, production values......However for the meat of the game I prefer....

Yosuke Hayashi, he was the guy who programmed all the AI. in NG games.......People always praised Itagaki like he made the game himself, but we could see when he was left to his reigns without a good team, that he simply resorted to drinking, smoking and strip clubs all day and wasting the publisher's money.....

If Itagaki comes back, he must get serious and be more humble......and I don't think I want to play any game from Itagaki unless it's a third person slasher......Give it style give it character.......

 

[DeepEnigma]

Never played it, but it sounds like the next morning after a night of binge drinking on Jägermeister.

Straight aviation fuel dumping out.

Help Sakurai add Ryu Hayabusa to Smash.
