Is there a more JUST game developer Tomonobu Itagaki?

>Basically a rockstar game director
>Create the Ninja Gaiden IP
>Direct Ninja Gaiden Black, arguably one of the greatest action games ever made and basically a flawless transition to 3D.
>Tries to make a worthy sequel with Ninja Gaiden 2, but performance and game balance gets fucked by being rushed out the door.
>Everyone at Team Ninja also hates his guts because of his devil may care attitude.
>Finally leaves the company to start Valhalla Studios.
>Aims to make the ultimate Melee Action/Shooter hybrid with Devil's Third.
>In development for years because Itagaki no longer has Team Ninja and developing a game while doing coke off hooker ass and playing backgammon is hard.
>THQ goes bankrupt.
>Suddenly lose the Darksiders engine the game ran on, as well as funding.
>Nintendo offers to pick it up but the game now basically needs to be completely remade.
>Final version turns out to be a huge mess of wasted potential.
>Now stuck making mobile and Naruto games.
>Meanwhile Hayashi is raping the Ninja Gaiden IP with Sigma, Yaiba and NG3.

I've never ever seen an East Asian with acne, let alone as bad as he had it. He could have saved his face if he treated it; I had acne when I was a teen.

>I've never ever seen an East Asian with acne, let alone as bad as he had it. He could have saved his face if he treated it; I had acne when I was a teen.

Acne medication most likely wasn't much of a thing when he was young.

Also, some people really can't help it. It has nothing to do with bad hygiene.

Daisuke Ishiwatari has created Guity Gear, he made the character design, he made all the music, he made all the artwork until GG Xrd, and he dubbed Sol Badguy until Joji Nakawa replace him for Xrd, he also help for the dev, and have worked on various thing on BlazBlue, especially the music

you haven't met many east asians then.

there are tons of people with acne in east asia, that's why there are so many skin clinics and things called 'aesthetic clinics'.

The story of Devil's Third is one that always amazes me. I've never come across a game that had so many problems one after another and at such a pace. Every 2 months or so, something went wrong.

If I were on my computer I'd type out a green text story, as an Itagaki fag it's interesting.
>>
Also Tomonobu Itagaki is secretly Tommy Wiseau

who?
why should I care about some ugly nip who makes games no one heard of

He's the Japanese John Romero.

So what you're saying is he's the John Romero of Japanese devs.
>>
>>376800706
Not secretly, but the real question is:
Is Itagaki the Japanese Tommy Wiseau, or is Wiseau the Western Itagaki?

You people are some of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.

The guy is the main man of the company but that doesn't mean he has to work on every fucking project. Same with Kamiya and this board obsession thinking the dude directed every single Platinum game because is the only dev they know.

source on that. Cookieface/Valhalla owns Devil's Third as far as I know

Look up 'Devil's Third Press Release' they had a PDF on the old Valhala games site when DT was released and it states that Nintendo also owned the IP. You can still find it through google.
>>
>>376802139
>Nintendo also owned the IP
But Devil's Third Online got made after Devil's Third release
So Nintend owns Devil's Third on WiiU, but they don't own the IP itself?

He was a programmer with the original NES NG, not a designer or producer.

We won't know the truth about KT and him since no third parties are willing to come forward. Whether or not he harassed somebody or got stiffed on his bonus is anyone's guess. Him and KT had a bitter separation and there isn't much more to it.

The original Devil's Third trailers didn't show off anything noteworthy. Unless a magical alpha appears that shows otherwise, I can only assume the game would have been like the DT we have now. The DT we got is closer to Vanquish, and that game was significantly more polished.

NoJ did him a favor by salvaging his game, but everyone in the pipeline knew it was a stinker. NoA was right to let it sink. If anything it proved that "mature games" for Nintendo doesn't work. His big put up or shut up moment resulted in a shut up in a shove off into mobishit space.

Yeah, he had quite a long-running feud with Kamiya back when DMC and NG were both relevant. He slagged off Bayo a bit too iirc
