>People keep calling Keiji Inafune a conman
>When he did one of the best games of last year with Inti Creates
Explain this, /v/.
Keji didn't work on Gunvolt
Do I get the fuck those lolis?
Otherwise no buy
>the only thing he's credited for is the creation of the Flashfield, which is the absolute worst fucking gimmick in any game ever and the sole reason I did not buy and play either of these games
Golly gee thanks Inafune you're so great!
>Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 — Promotion Producer
Really makes you sink.
>>376628565
What the fuck does that even mean? PR? PR was practically nonexistent before Yacht Club showed up.
>>376628565
Its actually the Executive Producer in the credits of my game, anon.
Did he work on Soul Sacrifice? Because Soul Sacrifice is one of the best games ever made and the best (and only) Vita game.
>>376627208
That's a fantastic lolibutt
>>376627208
Who is this butt slut?
>>376630013
Stay away from her butt.
>>376627208
He has absolutely nothing to do with Gunvolt besides promoting it at events for the first game.
Which shows Inafune should always be a business man.
>>376629251
>Did he work on Soul Sacrifice?
Yes. Comcept is an art/ideas/concepts studio. They work on the IDEAS art and design. Then they leave and real devs come in and make the game based on the blueprint that Comcept comes up with.
THe obvious problem is that it means the game's actual quality can be anywhere from a travesty to great. Just because you make some nice deisgns, doesn't mean the game will be any good.
>>376630706
>Which shows Inafune should always be a business man.
He's an awful businessman:
>Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z a bomb
>Kaoi king of pirates cancelled after years of development and millions spent
>MN9 in dev hell for years to poor reviews and sales
>MN9 was supposed to be some super huge multi-media empire
>Recore a dud
>Red Ash kickstarter failed unclear if game will ever come out
>2/3 companies founded dead
>comcept is probably lingering towards bankrupsy
>>376627208
Can I have some (you)? No?
>>376630530
Make me
gonna dump my MN9 folder.
>>376628238
The game has Azure in the title because Gunvolt is eternally blueballed.
>>376631805
Iga and Inafune are in cahoots with each other, Bloodstained will be next.
>>376633119
He got a girl in the end though, unless she dies on 3.
>>376630013
She's no longer a loli though. She grew up.
>>376633243
Anon, OF FUCKING COURSE SHE WILL DIE!
>>376633136
It literally wouldn't matter if Bloodstained was god's gift to mankind and became the highest-rated game on metacritic. /v/ would still find excuses to shit on it and convince themselves that it was terrible for no other reason than to keep in line with their "all kickstarted games are shit" philosophy.
>>376633136
Iga's just another con man who relied on taking credit for an entire team's work, nostalgia bait, and promises of a revived series.

Holy shit it's so ugly, I thought I was getting beautiful 2D spritework when I kickstarted it for $60. I'll be able to look past it if the game is amazing otherwise, but the demo was very boring so I'm already regretting everything.
>>376633927
>those porngame-tier animations
Oh boy, here we go again.
>>376634378
>I thought I was getting beautiful 2D spritework when I kickstarted it for $60
Does the phrase "CONCEPT ART: NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FINAL PRODUCT" mean nothing to you, you stupid nigger?
>>376634540
The concept art looked nothing like 2D spritework, and didn't have any effect on my expectations.
My expectations were based on them promising a 2D Castlevania, and me associating Castlevania with beautiful 2D sprite art.
>>376634378
>indie game
>beautiful 2D sprite work
>ever going together ever
>>376634668
They explicitly said during the Kickstarter that it was going to be 2.5D.
>>376634668
They never "promised" a 2D Castlevania, they said close to the very beginning that it would be in 3D. This is entirely on you.
>>376634752
>indie game
>except the head director and team are all people who have worked together on multiple AAA games
Really jostles the ol' noggin.
>>376634803
>This is entirely on you
I never said it wasn't, I'm just venting my suffering.
And being 3D doesn't excuse how ugly it looks.
>>376634505
Somebody replace the middle panel with the metacritic page. I'm lazy.
Found more comics.
>>376634842
You realize "indie" means that the game is self-published? That's it. That's literally the definition. A game could have John Carmack, Yoshiaki Koizumi, David Wise, and all the guys that worked on Metal Slug during the mid-90s on the dev team, and it would still be indie as long as it was published by the developers themselves and not by dedicated firm.
No, this does not mean first-party Nintendo games are indie, they have a dedicated publishing division.
>>376635287
Yes, I do understand that, but you're trying to say than an indie game can't have good resources even if it's made by an accomplished crew of AAA devs.
Behind-the-scenes there's no difference between Bloodstained's crew and any AAA game's crew, so to say that it's ugly as fuck because it's indie is just dumb.
>>376635354
what the fuck
>>376635568
>but you're trying to say than an indie game can't have good resources even if it's made by an accomplished crew of AAA devs.
That wasn't me, faggot.

dont be sad but this game is going to have a sequel and appart from that This year its going to be a new megaman cartoon
LOL

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>376633438
why didn't /v/ do this with Divinity Original Sin then? checkmate
>>376636893
If they put Astroboy before Megaman then Cashern should be there between Megaman and X.
>>376634825
They really did build up Inafune as some god send, didn't they?
Who couldn't trust a face like this?
WTF is this?
>>376637129
kek
>>376636940
Because it came out before MN9, which was what kickstarted this whole shitshow in the first place.
>>376633438
then why didn't /v/ shit on Divinity, Shantae HGH, or Shovel Knight?
>>376637194
The idea at the time was that Inafune was 100% solely responsible for everything Mega Man related. He made all the games, all the characters, designs, and directed everything. The idea of this comes from the gaming media which endlessly, to this day, hypes up Inafune as the god send savior. Idiot gamers just bought into this because they never questioned that all the gaming media they consume might be full of shit.
They STILL call him the series creator by the way. Here is the IBT calling him the "father of mega man".
These gaming jouranlists are clueless retards who know nothing and never do any serious research for stories. Their failed real journalists.
>>376634752

>putting Igarashi in the same boat as Conman
the only one that were critical of Iga were classicvania faggots crying about MUH ORIGINAL CASTLEVANIA after Symphony was such a success it set the standard for the frachise then onwards.
>>376637863
>WAHHH WHERE'S MY TEDIOUS BACKTRACKING? UNFINISHED GAME!
Shantae was better as a straightforward platformmer.
>>376633927
I mean, I'd probably play it if it came out for a handheld for a reasonable price. It looks like a psp game.
>>376627208
Gunvolt is mediocre.
>>376638058
Igarashi is the same as Inafune. They almost have the same credentials except Inafune have more. Igarashi hired the same people Inafune did. The only difference with Igarashi is he saw Inafune fucked up which he is now trying to correct(hiring another group other than initcreates) but the ship has sailed. We are already waiting if the ship crash into an iceberg,reach port decrepit and broken or salvageable.
>>376638058
>both base their careers as the producer who takes all the credit by implication because he's the only person the general public sees or talks about
>both have Ben "it's better than nothing" Judd as agent
>both used Fangamer
>both use two-player productions
>both had the plan of reviving a series with a nostalgia bait 2.5 D in Unreal engine
>both use Inti-Creates
They're both cut from the same cloth, using the same tactics.
>>376638058
Iga is a businessman.
>>376638138
No it wasn't, Pirate Curse was the natural evolution and it should've take up from there.
>>376638535
That spreadsheet is a fraud/lie. Check when he became the ceo and when that company was established.
>>376638375
>Igarashi is the same as Inafune.
I don't think Inafune had the audacity to tell his dev team to design the bestest Belmont ever who finally defeated Dracula and is the most powerful ever as him.
>>376627208
Poor Gunvolt, why does he keep losing the waifus?
>>376638375
says the person with zero proof.
you just want Bloodstained to bomb so you can laugh at it. just like >>376633438 said after MN9 failed everyone here is just looking for the new TORtanic. Yooka only got attention for something that had nothing to do with the game itself.
>all those people saying they paid for sprite animation
oh joys the benefits of being a newfag oldfag. I remember when /v/ was critical of Order of Ecclesia and Portrait of Ruin for basically being graphical rehashes of SOTN like DoS, AoS, and HoD before. WELP BAM YOU GOT YOUR MONKEYS PAW WISH SON!
>>376638687
>That spreadsheet is a fraud/lie. Check when he became the ceo and when that company was established.
Can I get more info? Wikipedia says he's CEO. Then this presentation said he's a co-founder and producer. They cite these sources:

I could have just said google it but you are beyond delusional for that.

All best girls die in ASG. Unfortunately all girls are best girls.
>>376639062
>Dig further. You'll eventually find it.
That's vague. Is there something deeper to this? Is Iga lying?
According to Artplay's site, they were founded in Sept 2014. That lines up with his timeline of leaving Konami in March. The only source calling him CEO are a few expo pages, and that might just be an error.

You know what we need, we need Zonda to come back in the third game as the main girl. They can bullshit something up but it would be great.
>>376639519
>They have 20,203,637 in money.

Is Iga a better businessman than Inafune?

He owns Comcept . He greenlighted and funded the games, fucking retards.
>>376639660
>try to launch a multimedia franchise before the first game is out
Anyone is a better businessman than Inafune.
>>376639963
Gunvolt is owned by Inti Creates, not Comcept.
>>376639963
Gunvolt is an Inti-Creates own creation.
Is the desire to "TORtanify" Bloodstained so strong as to reveal the true Inafune/MN9 shills to do go more like this?
>>376640457
>to do go more like this?
This will never not be funny.
>>376640457
Because they're similar projects and made by Inti-Creates.
"From the dev team that broguht you Mighty Number 9" doesn't sound too enticing.
>>376640807
Everything Inti has made that wasn't in cooperation with Comcept has been literal gold, though.
The desire to conflate the two is something only shitposters and spergs would do to feel mildly important.
>>376637969
Just off screen, hidden third option that was actually chosen:
Much later with LOADS of flaws and no polish.
>>376640795
Ignoring the hyocricy, there's a minor bit of truth. Jap devs had difficulty moving onto HD consoles and design. Around 2009, they WERE behind. But Inafune seemed to think this was some inherent problem that they were never going to fix. Now after a slump they're starting to come back.
For acknowleding the hypocricy: oh wow. Inafune talks shit about Japanese games, then the first two big projects he makes are blatant rip offs of Japanese games other people made? Don't talk shit if you can't deliver.
>>376640795
If Japan is five years behind, I don't want them to catch up. They're making the better games now.
>>376637664
Two of those came out before MN9. And a sizable portion of /v/ DOES shit on Shovel Knight, just the portion that hasn't played it. /v/ also absolutely shits on HGH, as can be seen here. >>376635850
>>376640975
What about Gal*Gun?
>>376641212
>And a sizable portion of /v/ DOES shit on Shovel Knight, just the portion that hasn't played it.
I will say the praise is a bit over blown. I'd call it a solid game that's kinda fun. It doesn't quite reach the heights of some of the best Famicom games though. But it's better than most of them.
*sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiff*
Ahhh
Ben Judd is the key to all this.
>>376641232
>loli pantsu game with shooting
>>376642763
It had some high quality pantsu but as a rail shooter it's far from being gold.
Iga is a bit smarter than Inafune, and is definitely more hands on. let's see if he can pull off a miracle and make Bloodstained good, instead of Mighty Number 9 part 2.
