Dead or Alive Creator Badmouths Tekken

Posted by Zonk on Monday February 28, 2005 @06:44AM 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."

Tekken has been Itagaki's favorite punching bag for years. Try this 2001 IGN interview on for size. Search IGN for Itagaki's name, and you'll find plenty more where that came from.
