From the press release about the Allard's speech at the GDC on the new Xbox-
Aside from it obviously being a steaming pile of marketing bullshit, the bit that stands out for me is the "rock stars of game development" bit. Let me count them-In the HD Era the platform is bigger than the processor," Allard said. "New technology and emerging consumer forces will come together to enable the rock stars of game development to shake up the old establishment and redefine entertainment as we know it."
1) Itagaki
And only because he's eccentric enough to make the rock star imagery work.
Rock stars perform live in front of thousands of people, take more drugs in a day than most of us will see in our lives, bang groupies incessantly, and in general live wild hedonistic lifestyles. Or at least the imagery of their name says they do.
Developers get to work early, code/design all day, go home, and once a year endure E3 as best they can. Anyone want to attend an event where you get to see a developer debug code? Wooooo!!!!! *throws horns*
Just felt a need to rant for a bit...

Itagaki wears all black plus shades, says eccentric things, and pulls swords on reporters. I'm going to let him have the title.

Does he do it in a drunken stupor with hookers peaking out of his dressing room in curiousity? Because if no, he shouldn't get it. Although, for a game developer, he's probably the best they're going to give us.Originally Posted by James

Itagaki sucks almost as much as this thread.
This reminds me of PC Gamer's "Next Game Gods" list. http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=570 What a load of asscock that was.
Agreed. His Guitar Wolf act is wearing thin. Its like he can't accept the fact that game designers are still considered geeks. Big deal.Originally Posted by Yoshi
