Itagaki says Heavenly Sword is half-butted(u know the word i meant to use)

http://gamers-creed.com/?p=215,

after he said tekken sucks my respect level went down 25% now it just went down another 25%

This has been posted before.

You can say the word "assed"

HS will be amazing!!!! It must be a 360 hard fan to say something differentsoldier1993

Actually I'm not fond of the X-Box franchise and I don't like HS lol I think it could've been done better control wise.

His full words

"I've never played a good game where the developers put a big icon of the button you're supposed to press onscreen," Itagaki says. "I look at Heavenly Sword and it seems really half-assed, because it's asking you to do all these button-timing sequences but you are not getting much payoff from it."

I never really respected the man in the first place. He really places his own games above all others, and you know that can't be right. I personally can't stand over opinionated people, and that's exactly what he is. The Tekken series is classic, and fun. I understand if he personally likes his DOA series better, but you shouldn't go and insult another franchise.

And for the record, he's not the coolest guy in the world for smoking cigs at interviews, and wearing black leather.

The qoute from the heavenely Sword producer makes me agree with Itagaki and the half-as$ing statement. It would not be too dificult to make the rope sequence fully interactive instead of context sensitive, in fact i would prefer it that wayacidBURN1942

And how do you propose they do that? To give it the same cinematic effect?

Itagaki shouldn't speak, Ninja Gaiden only got the combat right.....everything else was.....just there, had no purpose.

You can say ASS and ASSED on gamespot.

Also, tekken>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DOA

Heavenly Sword is a great game, he's just pissed that more action games are coming in...eating away Ninja gaiden (Heavenly Sword, GOW 3, DMC).

Dude, I agree. Not impressed with HS. May rent it to see if it's better on the final version.

I don't like that guy at all. I have nothing against NGS and I think it's a good game but he has to stop pretending like it's the best game ever made. It's good to take pride in your work but you gotta give credit where credit is due. NGS has a really thin story and the setting is exactly the same for the whole game. I think he should think about making a new game for the Ninja Gaiden series rather than remake it over and over again and talk crap about other games. He really looks like a nerd during interviews anyway trying so hard to look cool in some sort of way.

Nuff said... haha... He does have issues...

I wasn't blast away by the demo...but it is a demo. Nariko please jump :cry:

Itagaki is a dumbarse.. I mean come on.. Granted this was not as bad as saying that the only good thing about tekken is the name...becasue its short..

But still.. I for one really enjoyed the Hs demo and Think Tekken blows Doa out of the water.

Instead of putting down other peoples games maybe he should start making some actual good new games instead of recycling his only good one.

Don't you agree that devolpers are so much more likeable when they say they enjoy playing a competitors game?

I ll laugh whenHS sells more than NGS. Seriously through the man really should just focus on making his work perfect before going out and critizing other peoples games. I love the way hes really unapologetic about Ninja gaiden difficulty then wonders why it doent sell very well

"that would be a frustrating experience to 99 percent of our users if we were to force them to do that manually."

Hes talking out of his arse..

I guess he never played Resident Evil 4, since it has buttons onscreen a lot it must not be a good game, what a dumb remark he made i can think ofa few games like this that were really good, i think he is jealous

i'm not fond of the DOA franchise... but Ninja Gaiden is the epitome of action games. the fact that he made a fast-paced action game that does not allow you to button mash and that even that lowly gaurd that comes at you a few at a time can kill you really makes that game about skill AND thought, rather than just reflex.

exactly, god of war aswell. I think its a wonderful feature as you get involved in cinematic sequences instead of just watching them.

i dont care what this guy says, i wanna play the game and judge it myself!

Itagaki thinks NG is the greatest thing since sliced-bread. In 2004 that was a great game, but 3 years later and all you've mustered is two remakes? And the camera STILL sucks!?!? Get over yourself.espoac

The funny part is that no one in the gaming industry dares to tell him that. Look at the 1up meeting with him, all they did was suck up to him and praise his work. No wonder he has a huge ego.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Last time I checked, RE4 was one of the greatest video games of all time. And it had plenty of button icons onscreen. The first fight with Krauser comes to mind. I don't remember it as lame, I thought it was quite cool actually.

one things that very funny is he bashed dmc4, he said something along these lines...

"In japan there is a really popular game with a guy in a red coat with funky white hair, but if you were able to but NGS beside it side to side you would beable to tell which is better."

another guy from the team said.

"DMC is very shallow and only a one sided combo based game and shouldn't be called an action game." I agree that dmc is a combo game but its not onesided."

Whats funny is the director for dmc4 just said. "Why would someone say that because if they did they've never played dmc4." which he the director fomr ng hasn't, therefore i think that he brang NG to ps3 so that it can become more popular in japan since 360 is none excitant there.

Team ninja should just look at their games and start to make them better.

NGS had mediocre graphics (just check the blood), horrible story (cliché or just non existant) and a lousy camera.

The thing that annoys me the most about those parts are some 'noobs' are going to be saying;

"Wow, Heavenly sword has amazing grahpics just look at the bid when you're on the ropes"

When really the in-game graphics are fairly mediocre, they're just pre-rendered cutscenes, what makes it worse is that some PS3 Fan boys will be using this as a defense/offense against 360 fan boys.

It generally feels like they're trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
