Dead or Alive Creator Badmouths Tekken

Posted by Zonk on from the speaking-ill-of-the-newborn dept.

Dead or Alive creator and leader of Team Ninja Tomonobu Itagaki spoke with 1up.com about the DoA series, tournaments, and other fighting games. He had some very pointed things to say about Tekken 5. From the article: "First they put in all of these half-finished "features", then they take them right out again. Tag fights, elevation differences, walls. I don't know if it's because they're impatient, or because they lack the ability, but no matter the reason those guys are a pretty weird bunch. Any of those things would have become a bonafide feature if they took the time to do it right."

    So, Team Ninja Criticizes the Tekken guys for trying to make a better fighting game?

    How could the Tekken devs possibly retort? Point out that DoA's boob jiggling physics aren't realistic enough? I mean, this would be like the Myst devs bitching about Doom 3 for not having enough shooting.

    Team Ninja needs to stop beating (heheh) around the bush (heheh) and just start making porn games, because a desire for a solid fighting game is the last thing on someone's mind when he buys a DoA game.

    That under all the low self-esteem and jiggles, DOA Volleyball had an extremely simple, but robust interface, and is probably the best volleyball game out there.

    Best of all, it's a great volleyball game that comes with low self-esteem and jiggles! You can play that game for hours on end and never get bored with it. ... er... or so I've heard.
