Except he was only just an executive producer for Dino Crisis 3, and he produced Killer 7, the only game that you seem to think it was bad under his direction is P.N 03, in which he admitted that he was not given enough development time with it (Especially when he was working on more that 2 titles at the same time)
I said that not all of the games he has worked on have been that great, not just directed. I will readily admit people like Yu Suzuki worked on truly awful games, so I see nothing wrong with calling out others. He could have said he did not want to work on said game if he did not want to, it was all his choice to work on those games.
We know enough about Vanquish so far to get excited... Yes we did not see any gameplay videos, but there has been a lot of info and impressions alongside tons of screens. Maybe you should read more articles regarding the game.
I have read a lot, but I have seen hours of gameplay, dozens of plot summaries, and seen just about every character from Alpha Protocol. For this I can understand people saying it is their most wanted game, but for something we have only
heard about how it plays and not knowing much outside of maybe... 6% (assuming this number) of the content of the title, I just do not see how anyone could get extremely exited outside of just being a general fanboy of the studio or company.
Also, when was Yakuza 4 confirmed for the west? EDIT: *huge chunk of Yakuza Rant deleted* nvm.
It was not, but considering recent comments by Mike and that Yakuza 3 has actually been a very good seller considering SEGA marketed it wrong and the fans became retarded with the announcement of cuts makes me certain Yakuza 4 will be leaving Japan sometime soon, but I am not sure of Kenzan or Black Leopard.
PM me that rant though!
The official Western SEGA line-up is rather poor, aside from Vanquish, there is only Sonic 4 that I'm interested in, and I hope Sonic Team/Dimps won't screw this one.
I would say their lineup is great with tons of different genres and styles that appeal to tons of different consumers. I would say they have one of the best lineups in the industry now even!
I can understand you only being interested in certain games though.
Currently, Vanquish looks awesome too me, we are 100% getting it. I loved Bayonetta, it's one of my favourite games this gen and it's build on the same engine by the same company... I don't see a single reason why it shouldn't be one of my top up coming games!
It is not on the same engine, they said the game will be based on the PlayStation 3, while Bayonetta's engine was based on the Xbox 360.
I do not really think it will be very similar to Bayonetta really, but I do not say that in a bad way. I just think you guys are waaaaaay too excited for this too early on.
