Chinese Tom Wiseau?

Full/Tomo Furukawa, has several music projects, probably most famous for Guniw Tools.
Developed Darwin 4078 for Data East in 1986.

I feel like for every one except Bayonetta (not retro), he's afraid of giving his games actual depth and variety of options. He likes to keep his games simplistic for some reason and that's just not my style at all. But his games all do have a great sense of aesthetics and charm that is admirable. It's just I feel he keeps dropping the ball as far as gameplay is concerned.
I thought Okami was boring.

>>6940526
Ishiwatari only worked on one game and Mori is largely famous for games that aren't retro.

>>6940578
Okami actually has a lot of interesting gameplay depth when it comes to weapon/shield combination, the thing is that you don't really need to try too hard, as it's a very, very easy game. Its beauty lies in the adventure/exploring/puzzles, not the combat. That Ninetails boss fight was absolute kino though, as well as the owl boss fight, and Yami, as well as some others... bosses in that game were pretty good, but for the most part, more puzzle-centric than skill-based. Okami was, after all, Kamiya's own Zelda-style game.
Bayonetta is indeed amazing, but he also made Devil May Cry which I think is also great in terms of mechanics, people rave about DMC3 and that's fine, but DMC1 is great too.
Viewtiful Joe also has good gameplay that rely on skill and has a lot of depth.

>>6940598
DMC1 btfo everything that came before it and set a new standard that would lead to the maturation of the genre, but I feel like it's become an artifact of its time that's been surpassed several times over by its successors, most famous of which was DMC3 but also includes KHII and NGB.

>>6940619
>KHII
Anyway, while DMC3 and NGB are more advanced (understandably, they came after DMC1), DMC1 still offers some of the best boss fights in the genre. I still regard it as one of the greatest.

>>6940518
He needed Carmack

>>6940124

Ninja Gayden Big Black plays better on easy mode. High difficulty ruins flow. Fight me.

>>6940753
and Carmack needed him

>>6941275
His work is slightly overstated, but his proven chops as a programmer mean that he garners more respect from me than most other auteurs simply because his influence is provably not all hype.

>>6940491
Has some good ideas and his right is in the right place but he needs someone to keep watch and moderate his retarded design choices. The amount of shitty set pieces, QTE's and minigames shot through the roof once he left Capcom and all his games suffer from that trash despite having a solid arcadey foundation. W101 is his most personal project, and the game is insanely bloated with dumb bullshit that dilutes the combat.

>Has some good ideas and his right is in the right place but he needs someone to keep watch and moderate his retarded design choices.
I don't think there is a single creative person today this doesn't apply to. Everyone goes to shit as soon as they lose their team or the one person holding their insanity together.

Mikami killed it with Vanquish but fell for the horror meme

>>6941348
>but fell for the horror meme
What? His biggest games are the Resident Evil ones.

>>6941356
The only good RE is 4 and the game's not even horror, the others are turds with no gameplay depth. God Hand and Vanquish are his masterpieces

>>6941360
>The only good RE is 4 and the game's not even horror, the others are turds with no gameplay depth.
I see you got filtered. It happens.
>God Hand
If you got filtered by RE there's no way you didn't get filtered by God Hand. You probably saw people shitposting the reviews in the other RE threads and are trying to shill it now.

>>6941464
What is this, a fanfic you wrote? There's nothing to get filtered by in RE besides maybe tank controls, which are present in both RE4 and God Hand anyway.

>>6940141
Pretty much

Arguably should've been the OP pic

"TI DEVI SPAVENTAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

(sorry. had to.)

>>6940124

>>6940197

oh shit, he plays visual kei!

>>6941789
yep

>>6941498
Overrated. I appreciate the fact he tries to go for harder hitting and deeper material but somehow it's always executed in a shallow way that is characteristic of Japanese midwits.
As far as gameplay is concerned he is equally unimpressive. Really there's just little justification for the hype Kojima gets.

>>6941692
Lol, but in all seriousness DMC3 is better than NGB.
Nothing tops DOA for me though, not even VF.

>>6941498
Neither overrated or underrated
He deserves the praise he gets even if fanboys can get obnoxious. The metal gear solid series are games with a lot of heart and care. Even the worst games in the series (4 and 5) have a lot of nice details that other developers would miss or not add.

>>6943674
Maybe this applies to how he designed his first Ninja Gaiden, but Dead Or Alive was hardly about "simplicity", which is exactly what makes it so good. The dynamics of a match are simple and the inputs are relatively simple, but the amount and variety of options you have available to you and when the right times to use them are is teeming with complexity.

>>6943674
Lmao. Why does tekken make this dude so salty?

>>6941324
>president
Yet he’s done poorly for Wii U "name", marketing, design and CPU architecture.

>>6944002
Sony maybe.

>>6944002
He's a jokester. Besides based off his Top 5 list you can see he's not even that much into fighting games despite Virtua Fighter supposedly being the inspiration for DOA. You really have to wonder if you met him in real life whether he'd even be down to do a FT20 with you in DOA2--DOA4.

>>6943674
Pretty damn based.

>>6941276
t. Casual faggot

>>6941475
bruh the file is named iwata

>>6944838
who?

>>6940753
>>6941317
He needed Tom Hall. Fuck Carmack.

Kenji Eno had the attitude of a rockstar game developer but not the games

>>6940685
You're making a mistake sleeping on KH2's combat

>>6941317
Carmack’s had a pretty successful career in VR post Romero. Meanwhile after Ion Storm flopped, Romero has mostly just put out mobile games.

>>6940619
DMC3 was only superior to DMC1 in combat mechanics and story, everything else was either a sidegrade (bossfights, music) or a downgrade (enemies, levels, balance).

>>6945170
Yeah, but winning at VR is like winning at the special Olympics. Nice effort, but not quite there to compete with real games, at least not yet. Romero should just admit that he's retired by now.

>>6940124
He's a cunt but the ninja gaiden reboot is godlike. I don't get what his beef with pretty much everyone is though.

Goichi Suda, probably best known for No More Heroes. His pre-NMH work is way cooler imo. His stuff is obviously pretty divisive but I think everyone ought to try Killer7.

>>6945720
play killer7, also, fuck you. have fun.

>>6945739
no need to be upset, did someone steal your silver eye pal?

>>6940491

I'm glad this faggot's game got cancelled.
