Daily reminder to apologize.
I agree. He should apologize.

>>343565636
ありがとうポンびき
He didn't create Mega Man in any shape or form.
>>343565636
Did he actually say that? If so he's a fucking con man. I call him "con man" sometimes, but that's mostly as a joke.
>>343571109
I read he said in Japanese something like "I own all the responsibility for the actual result of this game".
Well at least he apologized, at least.
>>343566760
He didn't say that. He was contrite and said among other things:
>"I own all the problems that came with this game and if you want to hurl insults at me, it's totally my fault. I'm the key creator. I will own that responsibility."
The translator then said "It's better than nothing". People thought he was translating for Inafune.
Why didn't you listen?
For Context: Kamiya isn't shitting on Inafune. To him, calling him a businessman is a non-controversial statement. It's the fans who have this wrong idea that Inafune is some director or creator.
>>343571643
I think Inafune should apologize about how badly translated the game was.
I played it mostly in japanese and I what-the-fuck-ed when I saw the english translation.
The dynatron for example was completely rewritten.
>n an interview with Polygon in February 2014, Inafune expressed his interest in developing a larger meta-franchise for Mighty No. 9 beyond the release of the game, including a possible live action movie. Other adaptions included a "comic book, manga, anime, movie, TV drama series" among others. In discussion with Polygon, he stated that "it's not actually a 100 percent set deal yet," and that "it is something we are looking forward to and considering the possibilities of". In regards to a production company for the movie, he mentioned collaboration with Contradiction Studios as a possibility.[50] Tim Carter, a Contradictions film writer and producer, revealed that his company was working on the film adaptation and that he had been in talks with Inafune.[51]
>At Anime Expo 2014, an animated series based on the game was announced by Keiji Inafune, with animations created by Tokyo-based Digital Frontier.[52] The series is scheduled for release in Q2 2016.[53]
>On July 7, 2015, it was announced that Legendary Pictures and Comcept would collaborate to make a Mighty No. 9 feature film.[54]
>Inafune had recently revealed new plans for a game, Red Ash: The Indelible Legend, that shared many similarities with Mighty No. 9, including the characters Beck and Call.[55] The Kickstarter, unlike Mighty No. 9's, fell quite short of its $800,000 USD goal, making only $519,999 USD.[56] Despite the failed campaign, it was announced on July 30, 2015, that Chinese game company Fuze would finance the game.[57]
>>343572203
Examples?
One thing I haven't heard about is how much has the game sold in it's first week? Does anyone know?
>>343572425
probably close to nothing, this game couldnt possibly have any worse word of mouth.
>>343572425
No clue. No one's talking. It's on Steams "Popular New Releases" but that isn't saying much since nothing else big was released.
My guess is that it will sell poorly. Kids won't care about Mega Man clone games. Dude bros won't care about some Mega Man clone. Hipsters only care about indies with some kind of deep gimmick. Only Mega Man fans would care and they already backed it. If it were to sell, it'd sell as a budget title for WiiU or 3DS, and the WiiU version is 20fps and crashes, and there's no 3DS version. I bet a lot of random people bought the WiiU version, had it crash on them, and then returned it. Probably a lot of scenes of angry parentes yelling at Gamestop employees.

Keiji, Onimusha was some of the most fun I've ever had with a PS2 game.
I don't know what people are doing to your reputation, but that game is alright. You're alright.
>Calls himself the creator of Megaman
You should have known that from the very beginning he was going to scam all those desperate people who got fucked after Capcom cancelled Legends 3. And he was sure as hell to abuse this self-proclaimed title to make sure he can trick just about everyone who remotely liked Megaman.
And he succeeded.

The personality of Migthies on english version sucks hard. TOO HARD.
Beck in english version was kind of megaman version of sonic while the japanese version were more like the X.
they all are idiot in general at english dub, not only of acting but also in the way they talk the same stuff.
Graham for example is "I-have-literally-no-idea-how-he-get-there" level of idiot in english version while he actually looks like an greedy CEO in japanese version.
>>343574681
And in the process ruined his reputation. MN9 was his mini-Daikatana. A highly hyped, multi-million dollar game that was hyped, had poor advertizing, and ended up being a poor game with bugs. Inafune is a joke in the industry right now. MM fans are burned hard. They will never support another Inafune crowd funding.
>>343574361
Keiji Inafune "fans' need to learn the fucking difference between a producer and director. He hasn't done a god damn thing except secure the funding to create games - games that he'll take all of the credit for if they turn out to be successful.

> In any event, our first release candidate for Rosenkreuzstilette should be ready before the week is out. Whether there are any issues left that necessitate a second revision will depend on how big a list of requested fixes we receive from the playtesting crew. Big publishers believe in waiving "known shippable" bugs, but I don't. At least, not as far as localization programming bugs are concerned -- if that part of the list isn't zero, that means I haven't been doing my job well enough. Issues present in the original Japanese version will be considered on a case-by-case basis (i.e.: if we can fix 'em in a timely manner, we will, but if it'd delay the release by a month or two, we'd rather try and address 'em after the fact).
RKS is finally coming out officially.
>>343575575
Not that anon but you're really fucking stupid.
>>343575575
Producers are middle-managers or ideas guys. They might come up with at most a premise. Like Inafune came up with the idea that the next Devil May Cry should be made by a Western Studio since Japanese gaming is dead.
They secure funding from the highers up for the project. Then they oversee the projects that are going on, often multiple ones at a time. Or they are a more hands on project supervisor.
Producers are essential. But they are not creators. They don't make the games themselves.
>>343565636
but he's never called himself the creator of MegaMan
>>343575891
Now I'm pissed off.
YOu're a fucking idiot, "Hey guys, you know what would be a blast, if someone was confused about business practice and explained it viably on an anonymous imageboard for some people to chide him and ridicule him in any way possible. Bonus points for misinterpreting what he said, that will show everyone what the facts are."
Thank you Con Man
>>343576218
That can be correct if they mean Character Designer for the series Rockman. Wrong if they mean character designer for the character Rockman.
>>343575621
Thank you, I loved both games so I'll give them a quick replay.
>>343576119
He's said he did half the job of creating mega man. And for all the confusion about the origin of Mega Man, he sure as hell has been pretty quiet. Only talking 2 times saying he's not and then not going into that much detail. He doesn't even name Kitamura or anyone else from the team, instead calling him "mentor" or "planner". There's confusion he created Mega Man. He benefits GREATLY from this misunderstanding and its' not in his best interests to go against this.
So does anyone know what a producer does two other major vacancies in business can't do?

>reputation
Reputation for what? He's an amazing business man. Managed to raise millions for a shitty megaman clone and he's going to walk with a lot of money in his pocket.
>>343578942
EVERYONE was on Inafune's side when he left Capcom. They were the big evil company getting in the way of Inafune's vision.
>Managed to raise millions for a shitty megaman clone and he's going to walk with a lot of money in his pocket.
Game development costs a lot. Comcept and Ini-Creates has tons of employees. They only got 60% of the funds raised by Kickstarter. The rest go to KS fee and taxes. The funds raises were only like 2.5 million really isn't enough to do a complex 3D game for multiple systems. Plus most of the funds seems to have been eaten up by porting, bug testing and other nonsense. The money is gone.
Inafune wanted MN9 to be a big success, and have tons of spin off media and turn Comcept into a new Capcom. The game has failed. The "Con" was never to get kIckstarter money. That's pocket change compared to what a new company could make with a new hot IP.
And Inafune's reputation is shot and everyone hates Inafune and calls him a con man. He can't raise more crowd sourcing money and Publishers will be wary of giving him money. Conning naive Chinamen might be the only way to get money but who knows how long that will last.

>>343575416
>Keiji Inafune "fans' need to learn the fucking difference between a producer and director.
Inafune wasn't even MM producer until MM8. In the MM-MM7 games he is credited just as an artist and nothing else.
>>343580787
>>343581376
Iga has done nothing wrong yet.
>>343583378
>yet
Key word. We need to see how Cumstained turns out.
>>343583432
The demo was great. You just want something to complain about.
Fuck outta here.
>>343575416
Onimusha was devised by Okamoto originally (As an RE spinoff, then later one of the embryonic versions of RE4) with Inafune sitting down with him later on and fleshing out the ideas and concepts of what it'd actually be if it were to be turned into its own thing.
One of these ideas contributed by Inafune was a great idea at the idea from a marketing standpoint, but turned into the kiss of death for the series later down the line when it came to archival purposes:basing characters on the likenesses of Kaneshiro, and later Matsuda and Reno.
>>343584302
Can't they just change the faces of the characters and then re-release them?
>>343583674
>The demo was "great"
Shantae and bloodstained don't look that great either.
>>343565636
Where is this apologize meme from?
>>343587549
just spammed until it's a meme like everything.
>>343576119
>Legends was a knockoff of Yatterman/Time Bokan
>Red Ash is a knockoff of Legends
How far down can the deriviteness go
Why do Shantaefags act like they're better when Shantae hasn't even come out yet?
I assume Akira Kitamura is living a life of quiet anonymity these days?
![Twitter_PG_kamiya_He_s_a_business_man_Not_a[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/T4TXcU0.png "Twitter_PG_kamiya_He_s_a_business_man_Not_a[1].png")
He warned us. Why didnt you listen?
>>343575416
It's not even really fair to call him a producer for Resident Evil either, since that was mostly Mikami after Fujiwara left. If I'm correct, Inafune's big producer roles for the series were RE4's PS2 port and the released RE5, not the one Clover was developing.
>>343565636
Protip: unless the offending party somehow redeemed themselves by fixing the game or has released a new game that surpasses the mistakes of the first then and only then can you make this kinds of threads
>>343589132
I assume you've read his 2011 interview right?
Other than that, us English types have no clue what he's been doing past gaming.
>>343589132
He left the videogame world after those two post-MM games he did flopped and has apparently been working with microchips the past 25 odd years. He gives the very occasional interview to Japanese games magazines, but that's it.
>>343589330
There's another tweet somewhere where Kamiya actually mentions the real name of the dude who IS responsible for creating MegaMan
>>343589785
>he did flopped
They probably did as good as any other late Famicom title. Should have been done on the snes though. The company died after they did some Titanic Visual Novel that bombed and cost too much.
> and has apparently been working with microchips the past 25 odd years.
There is an Akira Kitamura who does that, but do we know he's the saem guy?
>>343589785
>He gives the very occasional interview to Japanese games magazines, but that's it.
Those should be all translated.
>>343589821
It is not some secret. It's the guy who directed MM1-2.
>>343590053
According to some autismo on the HG101 forums who's been tracking him for years, it's the same guy.
>>343590206
Really? I posted a thread to /vr/, and they said the technology AK has a different kanji than the megaman AK. They said that means it's a different person.
I don't know for sure, I'm just repeating what they said.
How can you not like this man.

Truth be told, I'm just parroting what I read someone here saying; I don't post on the HG101 forums (Though they share a lot of crossposters with /vr/, so you might well be right).

>>343591016
What the fuck
Why would anyone give them 5,725 dollars? Buying that much worth of their stock might make sense (although they're not public).
Crowdsourcing is just a fancy form of pre-ordering.
>>343591083
I'd be really curious to know what he's made of this whole MN9 debacle. I wouldn't expect anything approaching the level of venom like posters here have been throwing at Inafune, but I couldn't see him being too impressed with his old protege's antics during the past few years.

Being a shitposter is fun, he he's really got to remember his place; no franchise has fallen from grace quite as far as Sonic
>>343592413
An employee of Ini-creates (or Comcept or whatever) said that in a stream. It's still ridiculous.
>>343592628
>>343590053
Takeru sorta came back as Mitchell, who had...moderate success.
Is the awful framerate exclusive to the Wii U version of the game? I've had it drop consistently to like maybe 2 frames per second in seismic's stage when you're running from the instant death thing over a pit of fucking spikes.
I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Inafune-san. Please make a MN9 2.
>>343593147
Frame rate is the worst for the WiiU version. It hovers around 20fps. Other console ports get a whopping 30fps. Only PC gets 60fps. No clue about PS4.
So, are they going to release that manga or was it canceled?
>>343592628
There is no point of comparison.
At least Sonic tries new things even if they fail horribly, Megaman is always the same shit for most of the part, a franchise that is strictly formulaic. The only people that seriously tried to polish and innovate the franchise in the 00's were Inti Creates.
he made soul sacrifice
he can't be that bad
>>343593528
>soul sacrifice
>Director: Teruhiro Shimogawa
And he didn't make it. Comcept did designs for the game. Two other companies made the game. Comcept is just artists who do freelance work.
>>343593702
In interviews the people clearly state the game is Inafune's vision
>>343593872
>is Inafune's vision
Just like Mighty number 9 right?
Comcept comes up with some designs and some stories. Then otehr people make the games. They can work if the other team are competent. If they're not, you get a shit game. At best he's an artist and ideas guy. He has never made a game himself though,.
>>343593702
>Designer: Keiji Inafune
At least be transparent about your blatant memery
>>343594060
>at best he's an ideas guy
And what do you think a director is? What does it mean to "make a game"? To code it?
>>343593528
>>343593702
Inafune's involvement was Soul Sacrifice was coming up with the concept of the game to begin with (Particularly the fucked-up take on traditional Western fairytales aspect) writing a rough framework of the story, monster and character designs, and greenlighting various aspects of it through development. From memory, he was also quite heavily involved with the promotion of it. He didn't really have much to do with the outright development of the game itself, beyond the aforementioned greenlight and suggestions to be made.
Also a lot of the improvements in Delta were down to him taking the initiative and basically cold-canvasing fans about what they wanted improved. So yeah, he was an artist and ideas guy for the most part, albeit he did his job exceptionally well and it makes me happy that Inafune and Japan Studio both said a while ago that they enjoyed working together and would like to make a new SS sometime in the future.
>>343594150
DESIGNERS ARE NOT DIRECTORS.
DESIGNERS DO NOT MAKE THE GAME.
>>343594245
You know what's a good idea? Robot Samurai. I made an idea. That concept can be done a million ways and you could make any number of terrible or great games based on that. With Mighty Number 9 and Soul Sacrifice, he drew some things, threw out some story ideas, and then went home. Other people then turned those ideas and designs into the game. Was he part of the dev team? Yes. Is he primiarily responsible for the game? No.
MN9 and Soul Sacrifce both had Inafune working in a similar role. One was shit and one was good.
If you like Soul Sacrifice, thank SCE Japan Studio and Teruhiro Shimokawa.
>>343594621
You didn't answer my question. And I'd love to see the source that supports your claim that his role was as simplistic as coming up with a vague idea and leaving it to his development team.
>>343594761
I'm not doing your god damn research. Inafune is talented only in a limited way as an artist. He should stay the hell away from everything else. He's a shitty producer and a shitty CEO.
He gave us DmC as well. Fuck him.
>>343594957
I don't believe your vague claims. Seems like you have a general idea coupled with your anger towards Inafune and you're going crazy with it. Nice woman logic.
