nice try Inafune
He's a businessman, not a creator.
>>344287762
He did a lot for Dead Rising, actually. Capcom didn't approve at first. Inafune sapped money from other projects without telling them. When the execs found out what he was doing, he had poured so many resources into the the projects, including an intentionally money-wasting five-dollar "demo" that they all deigned to cancel such an expensive project.
>>344287674
mediocre shit?
Also he's not the reason why the MM games were good. He did jackshit for them.

>>344287762
Onimusha was originally meant to be an RE spinoff devised by Okamoto (I've also read that it was also considered for one of the embryonic forms of RE4, but I'm not entirely sure how true this is), but was initially shelved. Inafune got wind of this and liked the idea, so he sat down with Okamoto and they fleshed it out a bit more into its own thing. Those two were always listed as the co-creators of Onimusha right from the onset. One of Inafune's suggestions that was bringing in Kaneshiro (And later basing Jubei on Matsuda, as well as bringing in Reno fir 3), which was a brilliant idea from a marketing point of view at the time, but ultimately served as something of a kiss of death later on, since the licensing royalties have meant Capcom haven't considered it economically worthwhile to ever rerelease them in any capacity.>>344287835
Soul Sacrifice was him bringing the concept of the game itself, a rough outline of the story, as well as character and monster designs. Also he was heavily involved with promotion and it was him who basically cold-canvased fans for improvements to be made to Delta. Both he and Japan Studio said they enjoyed working together and would like to collaborate on another someday, so I'm hopeful.

Inafune "fans" need to learn the difference between a producer and a director. Inafune does designs, illustrations and producing. He's not a director, or level designer, and has never made a game in his life outside of doing some art. He rides the coat tails of others when the games he works on get successful, but he was NOT what made the games great.
Now he's all on his own, without great dev teams to make games, and he's looking like the hack he is.
Oh and he never made Mega man.
>>344288132
>shitting on DR2
Boring bait
>>344291340
Aren't both of them pretty cool with each other?
>>344291921
Kamiya says that he doesn't know Inafune particularly well, but they're not on bad terms of anything approaching that. Kamiya was actually quite surprised he saw that people were taking the businessman thing as a personal slam on Inafune. Rather he meant that he's not a finger-in-every-pie director like Kojima, but his work is largely confined to the production and art department.
>>344292341
And he also posted this to show that he's got no personal beef with Inafune.
>>344292341
MM fans are idiots and think Inafune is the creator of the series and director of the games. He's a producer. What Kamiya was saying wasn't controversial, it's only controversial because MM fans are idiots.

>During a livestream of the game on twitch.tv for the release of the game, translator Ben Judd stated “But, again, we can hope that if things go well, there'll be sequels. Because I'll tell you what, I'm not getting my 2D side-scrolling fill. And at the end of the day, even if it's not perfect, it's better than nothing. At least, that's my opinion.”[58] Later during the same stream Keiji Inafune stated: "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."[59]
>>344288023
Dead Rising was made largely off of Shadow of Rome, though.

Are you stupid?
Inafune does not make anything. He's a producer. He hires others to do everything for him with the power of Capcom. MN9 demonstrates that he was always a terrible person now that he doesn't have a big company willing to back him up. Does Red Ash or the fact that he wants an animated series of this shit not set off any alarms?
>>344304584
>Does Red Ash or the fact that he wants an animated series of this shit not set off any alarms?
It tells us he's a good planner and businessman. He's thinking ahead.
People say "muh level design" when criticizing MN9 but it's not just level design. It's the mechanics. It has shitty mechanics. Dash2win everything. In spite of such, it comes out as really plain, repetitive, and not very novel. It's just a Megaman game at the core rebranded with dashing. And the fans, the backers, WANTED that. And they think better level design alone would fix that. No, that would just be putting whip cream on a turd cake. It still has the taste of shit in there.

R-return to greatness!
Seriously, one thing that pissed me off about this kikestarter was everyone who backed it wanted more of the same shit they can get anywhere else for free, plenty with even better graphics than what MN9 got, some with even way better music, and no annoying shitty voiceover work.
And then the "tight budget" comment. People actually justified this as that it should be more like Megaman anyway and that "that feature was never really promised". But that feature was one of the many draws that would make it seem at least somewhat groundbreaking compared to just jump and shoot.
Megaman fans are retards. Hell, I have been to plenty of forums like thegaminguniverse which housed a lot of idiotic, literally autistic Megaman fags, and there was no denying there was something wrong inside their skulls.

Because Mega Man fans are the whiniest little pussies on the face of the planet?
How many fucking Mega Man games have they gotten in the classic style? The SIX original games on NES, Megaman 7 and 8 on the SNES, not even counting Mega Man X, ZX, the Zero games, Battle Network, the list goes on and on.
There's the fan games like Rockman 4 MI, Street Fighter x Mega Man (Officialy endorsed by Capcom), fucking hell there are even Megaman 9 and 10, 2 games done IN THE CLASSIC STYLE that came out for the Wii and PS3/360.
Why the fuck were Mega Man fans so angry again? Because they cancelled the Mega Man Universe game which looked like total shit? MML3, the sequel to those fucking TERRIBLE PS1 titles that would sell like shit? The Mega Man MMO cancellation? Capcom did so right by you ungrateful pricks it's insane and yet people just kept fucking bitching about it and thinking Inafune's Kickstarter was some major "FUCK YOU" to Capcom. Well who's laughing now? I'm glad you all wasted your money and got scammed.
>>344304694
He's such a good businessman that he strategically got MN9 to flop and for him to ruin his entire credibility noone in USA will support him ever again, this is definitely because he has an ace up his sleeve
>>344306435
>MML3, the sequel to those fucking TERRIBLE PS1 titles that would sell like shit?
Why is Legends 1 & 2, terrible in your opinion?
>>344295004
What a big guy.
play better games instead
>>344305176
There's only 7 good ones. 1,2,3,4,9,10,X. The rest are bad or medicore. I didn't care for the Zero series and most of them.
>>344306568
The games had a decent artstyle, but the camera was terrible, the shooting itself was imprecise, it tried to mix action and RPG and failed miserably at both. Super Mario 64 came out in the middle of 96, a full year and a half before Legends, and it was even shown off at trade shows before the release date, there is NO REASON that the camera should have been that terrible.
And I have no doubt they would have fixed these problems for Mega Man Legends 3. They had around one level of the game completed, and people could mess around driving and shooting, and it was fun. But that game wasn't going to sell, and anybody who thinks it would be fiscally viable to continue development is CRAZY.
So, about that kemono pirate game Inafune killed...

It's said he's done interviews with Japanese gaming magazines. If so, I'd love to see them translated. I know of only the 2011 interview that has been translated.
Presumably if you want to contact him, it's not hard.
There's multiple "Akira Kitamuras" in Japan, so it's impossible to tell who is who. There's this guy who's "CEO, Japan Venture Research Co., Ltd.,". He's about the right age, but his biography doesn't list anything about working for Capcom. He has a twitter and facebook, so I guess someone could ask him.
>>344304081
ouch, did she ever responded this post?
I didnt catch all that drama since the beggining so if anyone has a pastebin it would be awesome

>>344313172
Game companies treat their devs like shit, especially back then. After leaving Capcom, he joins Takeru. Makes Cocoron. But Takeru invested heavily in some Titanic Virtual Novel that totally failed, tanking the company. Instead of continuing with gaming, he must have decided it really wasn't worth it. A lot of people did the same things.
Question: who made Simon Belmont? No one knows. We only have the names of the team who made Castlevania 1-3. Did a producer come to them with a general concept of a horror platformer? Did the director just make up the whole story? Did someone else? Who knows. It's all a mystery.
>>344290435
shhh...we're supposed to be stupid here
>>344313172
Because at the time video game development wasn't exactly seen as a booming career field with long term potential, especially in Japan. A lot of developers from that era ended up uncredited due to studio mandates typically forcing psuedonyms and nicknames in the credits, and a large number of original creators ended up leaving the business for greener pastures before it ever took off.
>>344291340
Kamiya just knows people.
>>344314038
gotta know your heroes to get to their levels
Translation of Inafune's Wikipedia page:
> Ine boat King II (いいna-fu ne ke ji, May 8, 1965 -) is a Japanese game creators, character designer. Comcept and Intercept Corporation Executive Director. In Chinese circles is often mistakenly referred to as the father of Mega Man, Keiji Inafune, but in fact in the early generation of Mega Man game in charge of only the character set (while the real "father of Mega Man" is the AK (Kitamura Ling) instead of Keiji Inafune ), this Canard source has not test.

Just play Shovel Knight, you stupid fucking queers. It's a great game and it's more Megaman than this turd.
If you want Megaman so much play the 30 official Megaman games and shove them down your throat
You faggots like about 2 of those games and you constantly whine about the rest of them
I honestly think you faggots just wanted another bad Megaman game to cry about
Fuck you
