    Yeah I saw someone dissing Okami. Better watch yourself the next time you're out wasted and walking home at night. The shadows may just jump out and get you...!!!

    Previously, Itagaki also said, "My daughter tried playing Okami, and she got sick of it pretty quickly — and I got pretty sick of it, too...

    Aaaaaand Itagaki just lost any credibility he ever had with me.

    Bayonetta is easily the worst game this guy's ever made, but Itagaki has a whole resume of terrible games. Look at how Ninja Gaiden improved without him on the PS3! And now they're working with Nintendo on Metroid, so who needs him?!

    Also the best way to humiliate an enemy is not to block, not to dodge... but to parry (and sometimes counter-attack). That is what the most skilled warriors have used to win fights.

    @AlucardsQuest: I like it how we're declaring Bayonetta subpar before it's out. A new game by a well established creator with freedom to truly make what he wants for the first time, and you're dimissing it offhand. Wonderful.

    Yes, I played the demo. I quite liked it.

    My official take on this is that Itagaki is a complete douche, Dead or Alive is a pretty shitty fighter series, and after playing the Devil May Cry games Ninja Gaiden feels pretty weak.

    I think by talking shit about - oh - EVERYBODY Itagaki is just trying to cover his insecurity about the fact that he's actually NOT a cool rockstar, but, in fact, a geek who makes video games... and isn't all that brilliant at that either.

    whilst i do think Bayonetta is pretty lamesville, i still support Kamiya over Itagaki in this schoolyard squabble.

    Kotaku you didn't get the WHOLE story! See, this is how it began.....

    Itagaki was the new girl in school, he was shy and timid but he had a GREAT rack. Both he and Kamiya were BFFs until Itagaki stole Kamiya's boo. Kamiya got crazyjealous so he started IMing his girlfriends calling Itagaki a 'booger whore'.

    Soon Itagaki was all alone and he had to fend for himself by gathering a ragtag bunch of girls to make Team Ninja and make Ninja Gaiden.

    It was better then DMC even though DMC was first. So Kamiya got angry and made his newest game more sexier then NG.

    So now the two are at odds but little does Itagaki know is that Kamiya is ACTUALLY his twin sister that was separated at birth and was raised in a privileged household! Will they ever find each other again? Will Bayonetta not suck? Will Itagaki make something good now that he's alone again!?

    Tell us Kotaku! TELL US!?!

    Itagaki should come out and say he's a dumb ass


    Cause he started the crap talk, and it seems like he has this super huge ego that makes him think he's better than anyone cause of DOA and NG, but also because he's wasted 24/7 and Japanese.

    On a side note he probably didn't like because Sakuya's boobs weren't big enough. I am sure he's mostly mad cause his games don't hold up to Kamiya's.

    Now we just need Itagaki's response.

    It's simple really.

    I'm not hating on Itagaki, so much for 'omg hard game is HARD' oh no... it's more like 'Itagaki lacks this thing called style.'

    It's a no brainer which game designer rocks out loud when your repertoire includes Viewtiful Joe, Devil May Cry, and God Hand. You know, three ridiculous-fun games that don't take themselves seriously....

    Both Kamiya and Itagaki put out great games, but the trash-talking, chauvinistic attitude they cultivate is just utterly exasperating. Put 'em back in your pants boyos.

    @AncientUnknown1: I dunno. I think it's this sort of back and forth that pushes them to make more EXTREME games as opposed to titles that are fresh or clever. Then again, extremity is suitable for the action genre so, have at it I guess.

    ..."It's a huge mistake to think like an idiot that big breasts on women seem erotic"

    Damn straight! Itagaki is a boob man while Hideki Kamiya is a hair guy, I'm sure of it.

    I don't think I've played any other game that had such nice crisp textures, but was so visually boring.

    My problem isn't the boobs, my problems are the 12 year old faces....they have NO expression and they're ALL THE SAME just with palette swap. They freak me out.

    Tits are fine, tits are ALWAYS fine..Kamiya just happened to added ass and hips and legs to the equation. Ergo, he wins.

    Itagaki on the other hand made crazy breasts physics, which I thank him for.
