although he comes of like a dick some times, he sounded cooler then usual. Perhaps bigger sunglasses?

@Shaban12si: Maybe his time away from Tecmo has taught him some humility? I've always thought he was an ass, but yeah, as you say, he came off as a pretty cool dude here.

He's actually not being a jack-ass in this interview, maybe he was destined to go out on his own. I like how he asks about his former team's homelife in relationship with breast physics. That's perfectly legitimate question, perhaps Itagaki is becoming a Gaijin after all. I also like how he relates the Japanese game industry to Japan's situation 400 years ago... sheltered from most trade and western influence. Am I warming to the most hated man in video games?

Itagaki: What sort of stupid general would give his enemy information on his troop strength? You'd better go back and read up on Rommel, AKA "the Desert Fox."

I personally dont see a point to him refering to go and read up on Rommel.

Though everything else in the interview was highly amusing! And do agree with him wanting to snap the DS in half due to Sandy the Ganguro fairy.

Did he seriously say that he wanted to do something "totally new, completely unrelated to anything I've done before. Not any part of any existing franchises."

And then go on and talk about how he's interested in WWII and doing something there?

I am now eagerly awaiting for a paradox to come and eat Itagaki.

Also, why is Gillian on one of the photos?

Hi Ashcraft! Might want to make a slight change in the article if you have time.

The tank is the Type 90.

For anyone curious about what the top picture is its the Type 92 Mine Clearing Vehicle. It fires a rocket across an area with mines and attached to the wire is explosives that is laid out then set off to detonate any possible explosives in the area. Pretty interesting stuff.

Heres a vid for those wanting to see it in action.

Am I the only one that thinks that missle looks as though it's on a string, and keeps imagining it hitting the end of said string, and then smooshing into the ground with lots of stars and explosions?

The stuffs nightmares are woven from.

@Pentex: That is most definitely NOT a TOW. A TOW is small enough to be man portable (although you need to put it on a tripod to fire it) and that thing is mounted on some sort of tracked vehicle. Not saying TOW are not mounted on vehciles, but they are usually supplimentary weapons on large tracked vehicles and nowhere near the size of a main gun.

It really is a strange piece of hardware. The guided missiles that most western countries use (MLRS) are gyro guided, not wire guided. Additionally a cable big enough to show up in that photo would be fairly thick. I doubt they have enough to keep it attatched all the way to the target.

I'm going to guess that the wire is how the missile connects to the fire control, and how the missile gets its targeting data. It will most likely disconnect shortly after launch. Alas, I don't know much about Japanese missiles, other than the PATRIOTs they bought from us.

Ahhh, Itagaki.

I never wish bad tidings on anyone because that's bad karma.

But Ita, you do what you do to remain relevant in this gen, you have your loyal fans who will support you in your endeavors so make something awesome for them. Even though I might never see it (PS3 owner here) I hope it kicks ass.

That's all I got to say about the man, I may not be his biggest fan but he gave me DoA and so earns my respect.

Now if you excuse me, I need to go watch the Sixxaxis boob jiggling feature again. BRB!

It's okay, Kotaku got served by Itagaki there. Trying to get him to say another infamous comment, only to be surprised by his carefree response. It's not a "good question," it's fact!
