Will this be the first DOA game without the females?

Itagaki is the sleaziest guy in the gaming industry, bar none. Even when he's drunk he's spouting off promotional hoo-hah and popular industry double-talk. The guy's such a pancake.

GSPX progress: 36% done! New build coming: October 2002

"Code Chronos is a game that will fulfill every Dead or Alive fan's dream."

...So it will let you have sex with Kasumi?

Ok, cheap shot, but that quote was really asking for it. I do agree that Itagaki is like the sleezy car salesman of the videogame industry. "What do I have to do to put you in an XBox today?"

Hah, sure the guy talks shit... but you probably would too. I've met him in person, and he seemed to be a pretty nice guy. He actually went out on the E3 floor quite often to play DOA3 (not on stage, at the display units) with fans and talk to them in limited English.

Everyone postures for the press, have you ever heard Peter Molyneux talk about any game he's working on? The guy was basically just saying he wants to give back to his fans who purchased an Xbox (remember that the system isn't selling remarkably over there).

Gaming needs colorful personalities, IMO. I'm just sad that Yamauchi is out of the picture for the most part.

Not TOO colorful, or shit like this starts to happen. Luckily we stepped away from the edge of this madness.

That might be a bit much, but I think the people who make great games deserve as much respect as people who make movies. They probably get more respect from me, actually.

The guy who wrote this has a few good points, but he's sure an ungrateful bastard.

To be fair to Lowtax, this was done during the height of PC Game Developer ass kissing. It's tapered off a lot so that they generally get the respect they deserve when they make a good game, but for a while magazine and web sites were placing any developer on a pedestal to get 'inside' scoops. Look at how the gaming press treated John Romero and Kilcreek when Daikatana was being developed. "Hey! Kilcreek’s got breast implants! Let's idolize her as a true videogame revolutionary even though all she did was make a few maps!"

Plus most of his scorn is directed toward PCgamer for making this travesty.

The great thing about this stuff though is that you don't have to buy any of it. There are infinitely stupider things out there... things like this should be ignored instead of decried IMO.

I have all three system, and for what it's worth Itagaki is right to think it's "the most powerful" (while I don't know the real spec numbers, the XBox games I've played have looked slightly to considerably better then comparable PS2/GCN titles, and the Harddrive has limited possiblities if they can figure out how to make it add MOVES as well as costumes)

I'd like to believe that he's being truthful, but until I've seen for myself that DoA:CC is to DoA3 what Tekken 4 is to Tekken 3, I'm still going to think he's stupid.

Sorry for the Angst, he's my favorite headman, heh. I don't mess with anybody talking up Miyamoto. =P (and I hate Shiguru! =P )

The biggest problem with the Xbox is that no developers are focusing on using it correctly.

DOA3 was made with half the specifications of the Xbox, Itagaki had an incomplete Dev kit. He said if he had the full dev kit he could have doubled the polygon count.

Halo was also built using half an Xbox dev kit. If you've seen the Halo2 trailer you can tell what happens when they've got the other half.

Not very many people are making games that actually take advantage of the Xbox's power so far.

I really love Itagaki as a headman, because of the fact that he's such a colorful personality. He actually plays videogames and he enjoys them alot and he is really focused on making his game as good as possible.

and he does at least try, some fans may still be aching over not getting those moves (I'am) but the fact that we got a booster disc alone is more than waht I got for the original dreamcast DOA2. he's really a perfectionist.

I wish that more headmen had the same passion for making videogames.

Yu Suzuki half the time doesn't even seem like he likes making games. He avoids playing them. (he's never played an RPG in his life 0_0 ) dunno. I just prefer headmen that care.

Really?! Wow, so at least DoA3 might improve in the graphics department...

You know, you're right... no other headman out there has released a booster disc yet... and if it's even possible, he'd probably leave hooks in DoA4 for extra moves...

may not be necessary. DOA X comes out on December 5th in both Japan and America. I'd assume it has more to with the fact that Itagaki actually reads Tecmo's message board (he used to post there every once in awhile) than coincidence.

But yes, I don't think they were expecting to have to implement new moves into DOA3.

Hey, I didn't say he was a poser, I said he was a pancake. Meaning he has no depth of character. Poser means you pretend to be something that you're not, but I don't think Itagaki is trying to fool anyone really... he probably really does believe everything he's saying.

Isn't DoAX also suppost to have addtional booster material for DoA3? (I've heard rumors)

if that's true, they might leave the hooks for new stuff in DoA4 even if there is a similtanous release, as another "thank you" to the fans

I'm not sure. There was an employee for Tecmo who used to hang out on the message boards and said that he'd put in a suggestion to see if he could get the moves into DOA3 (if it's possible) but he's dissapeared since then, I have no idea what happened to him. He still seems to be employed. I think.

However, DOA X does use DOA3's save material for some reason or another. Whether that means it's like Dynasty Warriors (if you had 2's save then 3 had more characters) and Suikoden where it adds stuff to DOA X or if it gives something to DOA3 I have no clue on.

Well with the xbox being the only system D0A will ever show up on for a long time. I wont be pissed when he releases 10 more versions a week after I buy the first version lol. I really think he will do all that he and his underlings can to take advantage of all that which the xbox is capable of which is respectable. Even if it seems the system is dead last in japan.

He sounds no different when talking about the Xbox than every other developer who has really tapped the system. Read Smilebit interview talking about making JSRF or Orta. Read From Software interview talking about making their Xbox games. Heck, read the short blurb from the devs making Crimson Sea in OXM. Every time they praise the XBox up and down, because they've had to deal with the nightmare known as PS2.

I'm sure I'll love DOA4, but I have no expectations for it so he can't possible exceed them. :p

The guys at Bungie rave about XBox's capabilities as well. It's incredible that Halo 2 will have tons of bump-mapping... which will make the previous models look that much better. And that's with most of the previous 3D models having less polys than Halo 1.

Check out the new EGM for the big article about the game. Next year is already too long for me. I love Halo... still play it on a regular basis with friends.

As for Itagaki... well, I can admire a guy who blatantly states in an interview that Tekken 4 is literally "a piece of sh*t".
