Tomonobu Itagaki: Our main reason to go online was not to offer downloadable content, but to allow players to fight against one another. It goes against my policy to save room for future downloads when you have the ability to put it in the game now, just to charge people extra. I would rather give everything I can now, in the actual game
In Itagaki we trust.
you know, as weird as they sound, he's actually pretty accurate in the first and third quote. Lets face it, a lot of characters in fighting games are eye candy, colorful characters or women who in reality would not look like they do if they were even in fights, so i dont see a problem really, if anything, he's the first guy i have seen being honest on the issue. And for the second quote, well, he's probably right about that too, most of x-boxes weak sucess is probably due to doa and doa volleyball.

If you're going to lose, you might as well get an awesome cutscene of a cute girl.

The Xbox isn't popular at all in Japan, and DOA3 and Ninja Gaiden are some of the best sellers.

HOLY FUCK, DO YOU MEAN, A FIGHTING GAME THAT IS ACTUALLY FUN? AMAZING! IT MUST SUCK FOR SOME REASON!
MarkRyan, do you mind telling me how the fact that Itagaki says he makes entertaining games with cute girls that sell well in Japan makes his games not the most awesome things in recent history?
Oh my god, new picture of him =D yessss
I'm really glad he touched on Code:Chronus a little bit. I hadn't heard it mentioned in awhile, but it looks like it's going to be the whole Kasumi/Ayane storyline, which is awesome. I'd really like to see the whole thing played through, I know in all the DOA games there's an ongoing rivalry, but I've only been able to piece stuff together from endings and such. I'd really like to see a game that explains it fully.
By "pure entertainment," Itagaki is referring to pretty graphics, big boobs, and lots of panty shots. He completely admits that half his game is that shit, which has about 0 to do with a little thing called gameplay.Quote:

I am a game critic--that is who I am to argue. Anyone with an opinion is also one to argue.Quote:

Itigaki has a first name? The mystique is gone... Unless, he makes that his official name, like "Janet", and "Prince", making his name a symbol would only help.
