DoA's Itagaki: Heavenly Sword is "half-assed" |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Kyle Shubel, Ninja Theory, Tomonobu Itagaki
Now that we all know what Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki thinks of Tekken, here comes another news tidbit that tells us what he thinks of another noteworthy video game: Ninja Theory's Heavenly Sword. Itagaki-san offers a few choice words about the epic game:
I've never played a good game where the developers put a big icon of the button you're supposed to press onscreen... 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.
While it's not as succinct as his "Tekken sucks" quote, it delivers quite the same blow. Ninja Theory's Kyle Shubel, however, has a few words of his own to shove at Itagaki's way:
My response to Mr. Itagaki would be that the intent of the Hero sequences is to empower the player to experience events that would be nearly impossible to play in a natural platforming state... for example, making the player run down ropes, leaping from rope to rope as they're being cut from underneath you, all while dodging other objects — that would be a frustrating experience to 99 percent of our users if we were to force them to do that manually.
With most gaming developers and producers giving bland regards and salutations to each other, it certainly is refreshing to find them turning to Hollywood from time to time to liven up the gaming news. Maybe we'll get to see some of them in future Jerry Springer shows.

Frankly his work should be AO rated and pulled off shelves. It should also be renamed "We dont care about anything but huge tits".
What a self-righteous dip*****

Indigo Prophecy = LOADS of awards. Button presses appear on screen for nearly all of the game.
Tomb Raider Legend = Hailed as a resurrection of the Tomb Raider Franchise. One of the best Tomb Raider games that have been made...

All I have to say back to Mr. Tomonobu Itagaki is good luck to your sexual harrassment lawsuit.
Since the PS3 is last right now on console sales Tomonobu Itagaki will not be all that nice to the PS3 as he has hitorically preferred consoles who are currently on the top of the Market.

At least it can play high-def movies out the box and I don't have to purchase a sub-standard add-on which supports an already ailing format.

Guess he just isn't much of a gamer..

At least with the keypresses, they can make the sequence actually look good.

But, he did say that 'he's never played a good game" so... he's just a sheathed retard who can't see past his horrible DOA series. Talking half assedness, he took an old game, which was already remade and presented it with some graphic upgrades as his contrubtion to the next gen. Cuz fu_k knows DOA is a recycled POS fanservice crapfest.

You sure are starting to sound like a sore loser, MCS. You actually resorted to using the pejorative "blu-gay" like a 12-year-old. Are you sure you are doing this for fun, or are you just worried about your investment? Or maybe you have just invested too much of your pride in a 360, which is why you can't see past the end of your nose.
Oh, by the way, anything you can record in your HD Recorder, you CANNOT OWN, only rent for a while. And, as for the 360's download service, after download, it only allows you to keep it for 14 days, and once you've started playback, the download expires within 24 hours. So are you saying an HD experience that you can't own for more than 24 hours is better than an HD experience that you can own and keep with you?
Idiot!

You know what, I've never seen a BAD game with timed button presses.

+> Yes I do. Anything wrong with that? I've several movies (Lord Of The Rings Extended Versions, Star Wars, Batman Begins, Back To The Future, Contact, etc) that I've seen several times. Apparently, a large portion of the movie-going public feels the same, judging from sales of DVDs.
"I watch a movie once, and if it's good, maybe one more time."
+> Well there's owners and then there are renters like you. Doesn't mean your is the golden standard for enjoying movies, the yardstick by which all movie-buffs must be measured.
"There's so few movies I want to see released on blu ray or HD-DVD"
+> Agreed. There aren't very many movies out there yet. But they are steadily increasing, and at a faster pace on Blu-ray than HD-DVD, if I may say so.
"When I go into wal-mart and see the blu ray selection, there's about 10 movies to choose from. "
+> Well, the Walmart I go to has a minimum of 26 movies, and increasing each week (at the same time, HD-DVD has stayed nearly constant, starting at 11 movies and right now it's 13). Yes, I counted as I don't like to make half-assed comments with figures pulled out of my ass, the way you do.
"Does that make the PS3's blu ray player worth it?"
+> From where I'm standing, yep it does. Doesn't mean I go all-out to defend every single thing about the PS3. You, on the other hand, will blindly defend everything 360 and bash everything PS3.
"I wouldn't doubt this game is half assed, because most PS3 games are."
+> Thus spoke the great unbiased reviewer MCS ... NOT! You would be the last person in the world that ANYBODY should go to for an unbiased PS3 games review. I do remember you mentioning in a post of yours (If I remember correctly, it was on the UPDATE: PS Firmware 1.90 topic) that you hated people commenting on a game that wasn't released yet, and here it looks like you are doing the same, and for ALL PS3 games in one shot! Biased little fanboy!
"They can do split screen 2 player racing on launch PS2 games (even running at the same framerate) but not motorstorm for some reason. Explain that."
+> I can't. I don't know the reasons why they chose not to add that. Do you? Or will you come up with just some more of your half-assed remarks and try to pass them off as the reasons?
"You have to wait until mid 2008 for full assed games, and there's only a few."
+> Well, if you want to compare, FEW 360 games are truly great as well. Sure it has lots of games. Quantity doesn't always mean quality though. I'm not saying that all PS3 games are great, but try and remember that you said that YOU HATE people commenting on the quality of unreleased games. So why are you commenting on games that won't be coming out for another year? Hypocrite!
Anything else?
By the way, anything else you can throw at me, I can refute or answer (and unlike you, if I'm wrong, I'll accept it as well) as I respond with facts, and not with bias like you.

You done with your single site review of Lair yet? Let's wait for September when it comes out, shall we? By the way, I'm sure, if I scan hundreds of gaming sites, I CAN come across a couple which say Halo 3's demo sucks. That doesn't necessarily make it the truth. But I doubt an immature kid like you would be able to comprehend what is fact and what is bias.
Your turn...

some how the sports take the biggest hit for it,but look at something like Zelda,what changed since the n64 game? GTa3 and it's followups are the same.Halo and every FPS game out there plays about the same.
doesn't resident evil 4 run off the megaman legends engine? (or omishua or whatever it's called) dead rising and lost planet sure do run off megaman legends engine.
so basically the foundations that were laid down in the 32/64bit era are still be redone today with better graphics.
the only games to come along that do something different is wii sports.
doa is better than tekken,i'll give him that.
but in ninja gaiden it tells you what buttons to press rather than show you isn't that the same thing?

"Wow prettier graphics" - Hello, Halo 3 is essentially the same game with prettier graphics...
Seriously, its like he has two standards,
one when it comes to the PS3 (whereby nothing can please him);
and one for the 360 (whereby he is happy with the same game but with prettier graphics) which doesn't "show off what next gen is all about"
This is what being a fanbot is all about...
Reply
Dead rising and lost panet aren't run off the megaman legends engine, but more like they designed a NEW engine that they could possibly use for the next Megaman legends...
RE4 doesn't use the same engine either. AFAIK, its a brand new one (definitely not Onimusha's)
But you're right... games haven't changed much over the years (not that its a bad thing) and those 2 Fanbots just want to ***** about everything the ps3 does, thats all..

Dude, take a chill pill... I didn't say Halo sucked... All I said was that its not any more different from its predecessors (after all, if it were wildly different it wouldn't be HALO). My commentary is based on MCS being an idiot fanbot who has double standards. I got no beef with Halo (heck I'm lookin forward to playin it on PC) but that doesn't mean that its "REVOLUTIONARY" in comparison to all other next-gen games.

Bring on MG4 and warhawk!

Im no fan of Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Soul Caliber or any fighting games to be honest, but Im sure as *****, they're all better than DoA in every way.
As for Ninja Gaiden.. I downloaded the demo and deleted it without finishing it. I played the Heavenly Sword demo many times and loved it every time.
Regardless of anyone's views on these boards, mine included, this guy needs a serious kick in the balls and few slices of humble pie

RE4 was #1 on Xplay's "Best Games Ever" list. (i think halo 2 was number 8, but it did get #1 FPS)
Reply
2. Warhawk
3. Folklore
4. Heavenly Sword
5. Lair (maybe?)
6. GTA IV
7. The Agency
8. FF XIII
9. Little Big Planet
10. Killzone 2
11. UT3 (With MODS and MOUSE/KEYBOARD!!!)
So... What does 360 have?
1. Halo 3
2. Mass Effect
3. Bioshock
4. Too Human
5. GTA IV
i think that's it for 360 games.... unless you count MGS4 (MAYBE?!?!?!)
from where i'm standing it looks likes PS3 has better games coming

i would also like to point out that all of the 'top' games for 360 are shooters

You guys are idiots, he doesn't just do DOA, he's done a little game called Ninja Gaiden, along with a *****load of work on other games. You people have no *****ing clue what you are talking about. And you know what he did at that lawsuit? He laughed.
Itagaki is probably th greatest Japanese developers becauses hes not a ***** like the rest of them. HE will bad mouth your company (as he has done in the past), he will laugh at you, and ninja gaiden DOES own any of the other games, INCLUDING DMC And GoW. Period. Anyone who can try to say that Ninja Gaiden was not better than either one needs to be smacked.

But if we are going to exclusive listing then add to your 360 list:
6. Alan Wake
7. Ninja Gaiden 2 (guarantee you it will release before FFXIII)
8. PGR 4
9. Banjo Kazoie 3
10. Lost Odyssey
11. Blue dragon (you can't say they aren't great consol games, as they come from the creator of YOUR most successful franchize)
12. RE 5
13. SH 5
14. DMC 4
15. CoD 4
16. AC 6
17. Eternal Sonata
So from where I'm standing I'll definetly take the 360 over PS3, especially when I'm relying on half assed MMOs to count for my "big sellers".
