GI: Games like Code Cronos and Ninja Gaiden 2 have been sort of waiting in the wings for quite a while now. Do you think we’ll be hearing some announcements about those titles in 2007?

Itagaki: I’d like to show everybody some of the new stuff that we’ve been working on in the near future. The only problem with that is that when the other developers see what we’re doing, they’re going to lose all of their motivation to create any game in the same genre, because there’s no way they can beat it.

[Scum]

Goooooooooo, Itagaki!! :lol

 

[TTP]

[proposition]

Let's hope other developers step up to the plate

 

[GONZO]

[mabuza]

[TTP]

He's a damn good dev?

so what?

 

[teruterubozu]

wtf is wrong with this guy?

He plays it up for the Western press because of threads like these.
He's actually pretty subdued and "normal" in Japanese interviews.

 

[beelzebozo]

i love this guy.

 

[loosus]

Haha. What a ****ing idiot.

 

[kaleii]

That's Ninja Gold !

Haha! Good old Itagaki! He rules!

 

[InsertCredit]

Let's see what happens when a certain 'lame combo-based' game crushes his love child sales wise.

ah, lol. well, mission accomplished

 

[Skilotonn]

That's my boy Itagaki!

Honestly, thanks to Ninja Gaiden, I couldn't play anything else in its genre, and I know the same thing will happen again with Ninja Gaiden 2...

 

[Takuan]

Hahaha :bow Itagaki

 

[DarienA]

He's a damn good dev?

Let's see.

Ninja Gaiden: Damn good stuff
DOA: Pretty good stuff
DOAX: Asstacular stuff.

I've come to a different conclusion

His interview quotes are always damn good though.

 

[bachikarn]

lol

Do we know if NG2 is for PS3 or x360?

sales=quality

 

[Aggelos]

wtf is wrong with this guy?

I'd say a lot!!!!!!!

 

[urk]

wtf is wrong with this guy?

Too much awesome. It does strange things to a man.

 

[bumpkin]

i love this guy.

:lol

Me too. Itagaki, Jaffe, Newell... They're all such arrogant bastards, with good reason to be, and I love it.

 

[DarienA]

lol

Do we know if NG2 is for PS3 or x360?

He's repeated in multiple interviews that its X360.

 

[Haunted]

:lol oh Itagaki. I don't even like his games but you gotta love the guy's trash-talk.

 

[rollingstart]

:lol

Itagaki is hilarious, but he can back up what he says.

 

[C.T.]

"Now that Sigma’s done, how do you rate Hayahsi’s performance?

Itagaki: I think he did pretty well for a younger guy. He used the battle formation that I taught him to use, and I think he was pretty successful."

 

[Salazar]

:lol

Me too. Itagaki, Jaffe, Newell... They're all such arrogant bastards, with good reason to be, and I love it.

No Denis ? The Peter Bogdanovich of games ?

 

[beelzebozo]

ninja gaiden has given him a free pass to talk a lot of trash for a long time, but he hasn't proven he can do something equally impressive in a sequel. we'll see, i guess.

 

[Magicpaint]

:bow: Itagaki :bow:

:lol

 

[Tyrannical]

Oh noes!

He better keep this game away from Wii third party developers (Yes, you Ubisoft)

 

[Wulfer]

Do we know if NG2 is for PS3 or x360?

The fact you have to ask is quite amusing! :lol

 

[Capsule Gang]

"I loooove Itagaki. He's so BAD."

 

[guidop]

Itagaki is a gun, man you've got to love his bravado.:lol

 

[Morbid Angel]

Less talk, more media/gameplay details please.

 

[Aisenherz]

He's a damn good dev?

:lol :lol

 

[TheRagnCajun]

I can just see DMC and GoW cowering in fear now...:lol

 

[Yoboman]

"Now that Sigma’s done, how do you rate Hayahsi’s performance?

Hayashi is going to do an excellent job improving NG2 for PS3

 

[Lain]

Isn't this, like.... old?
I remember having already read that quote.

Oh, yeah.

 

[Francias Castiglione]

Hayashi is going to do an excellent job improving NG2 for PS3

Three years after the 360 version.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I love that man.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Three years after the 360 version.

Yeah... it took them 3 years to make the game... It has nothing to do with the fact that the PS3 came out just 6 months ago. :lol

 

[beelzebozo]

he's like the evil miyamoto. he even wears the sunglasses to denote his sinister nature

 

[badcrumble]

Three years after the 360 version.

But with nicer graphics.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Wow at the arrogance.

 

[Rezbit]

:lol So much ego, so much awesome.

 

[AgentOtaku]

I love this mother****er! :lol

 

[Jive Turkey]

:lol I love that goofy bastard! Seriously the dude must have balls the size of grapefruits.

 

[shantyman]

wtf is wrong with this guy?

The question is what is right with him?

 

[Proc]

Sick!

 

[Draft]

Of course. What is going to compete? Dante and his magic hand? Whatever refried Clash of the Titans button masher Sony poops out? Project H.A.M.M.E.R. :lol

Reality demands acceptance. He owns the action market. A living legend. The man in black. Itagaki.
