i came across this and was hoping if anyone here could transelate or confirm what the article means. i know it may sound selfish but i liked itigaki supporting 360 exclusively but it seems like things may change. i was afraid of something like this happening because of his love for powerful consoles but this article seems to go against every comment he has made before in regards to the ps3. in the end it really would make little difference as long as he still gave us all the games promised to us but its fun to spaz sometimes

again if anyone can elaberate on this article that would be great thanks.

I would'nt doubt it................

no different then mgs being ported to the xbox.

He will develop for the most powerfull console and the most powerfull console only.

So I guess we may not get anymore team ninja games.

I think thats just another way for them (that magazine) to kill the 360 sales by saying its coming to the PS3, so anybody thinking of getting the 360 to play DOA4 today can control their urge and wait for the PS3 version (which they would assume be alot better too - which it wont).

its been a while since i have heard such an idiotic comment. the man announced atleast 5 360 games and does nothing but talk bad about the ps3 and now your saying that we wont get anymore team ninja games? nothing has changed with the power of the systems since his last negative comments towards the ps3 and if the common response from developers is any indication, power isnt a factor with the two systems as in real world gaming they are pretty even.

what i was actually hoping for is someone here who can read japanese to confirm what the article says exactly or if the site i got it from was just jumping to conclusions. IF this turn out to be true i can see this being the only port being done to cash in on the series, much like DoA: hardcore on the ps2, one game and not much else.

So why criticise them because they might assume it to be better but you can somehow assume that it wont be better.

your correct in that comment but i think its safe to say that regardless of what system is better (which is a mute point right now) i dont think there is much more you can do to the look of the game with the art direction that itigaki uses. other then maybe better hair and cloth physics there really isnt much more to improve on, because we already know he stated that although possible it would take too long for the team to include finer strands of hair which is really the most common complaint graphically.

No matter how idiotic you may deem a comment, historically speaking, Team Ninja Develops for the most powerfull console and only the most powerfull console.

That being said, I think it's idiotic to ignore that fact.

Speculation or not... I think Itagaki will bring DOA to PS3. He did it on PS2 with DOA2: Hardcore; he's certainly capable of doing it for PS3. DOA4: Hardcore...

Besides, who cares if he brings it to PS3. It's probably not going to be "better" in all respects. It will probably have better hair and water effects (the biggest complaint of most people), but it will not have the online aspect as well implemented. And it probably won't be in HD.

Itagaki certainly must bow to the whims of stock holders and those board members would be flatout retarded to ignore the HUGE financial impact a PS3 version of DOA would have. I say let 'em have it, just as long as we get Ninja Gaiden 2 soon...

Yea, that's the thing...

What if Itagaki decide to develop Ninja Gaiden 2 only on the most powerfull console, (like he did with part 1), then 360 wouldn't get Ninja Gaiden 2.

Itagaki is in no ones pocket, he goes with the most powerfull console and only the most powerfull console period. That's a fact.

He has never developed a game for a lesser system and I don't think he'll start with Ninja Gaiden 2.

That would be idiotic.

Ahhh, but you're forgetting one thing. PS3 is a bitch to program on. Itagaki has spent the last 5 years programming in a DirectX environment and, although he loves a challenge, I would consider his "most powerful console" preference dependent on flexibility. That leaves the 360 in first place (under assumption; I've not programmed on either SDK). Plus, if this supposed $20M buy in development cost crap is true... they must consider whether the 3 years of development is worthwhile. I would say it is, but I'm not a businessman..

Well DOA4 does not carry an "Xbox Only" exclusivity badge...

Then again neither did DOA3

Despite the fact that the PS3 will have a larger fanbase behind it... it's also a more saturated market for fighters... DOA would have to compete against Tekken and Virtua Fighter, where it really doesn't have much or anything for compeititon on the Xbox... Not to mention DOA in general (more-so with DOA4) is geared more towards fans of the series then casual gamers. With that in mind... fans of the series are more likely to own MS hardware...

I think if it does hit PS3 at all, it will only be in Japan.

Both DOA1 and DOA2 were released cross platform in japan on the Saturn and PS1, then on the DC and PS2 respectivly...

DOA2 hardcore came after the initial release of DOA2 on the PS2 in japan... DC also go an updated version of DOA2, "DOA2 Limited Edition" that was essentially the same thing as hardcore, it never hit US shores because of the dying DC market here.

DOA3 was the first game in the Series to NOT get released multiplatform. and MS bought exclusivity of DOAX, and DOA2U, and Ninja Gaiden Black (hence the "Only for Xbox" logo on the cases")

you keep forgetting a couple of important notes. one is while many considered it to be an inferior console, itigaki considers DoA1 on the "weaker" saturn to be the superior version even though one was developed for the ps1.

also he already confirmed atleast 5 titles for the 360 and has given a clue slip that ninja gaiden 2 will be on the 360 as well. i think if DoA makes it to the ps3 it wouldnt be big of a factor as every previous generation of playstation has recieved a version of the series.

All this talk about the 360 not getting any more is rediculuous. He has a good relationship with MS and isnt going to stop dead in his tracks.

Yes the ps3 may get them as well but he *Confirmed* the 360 getting atleast 5 in its lifetime, and we all know what those 5 are. So while the ps3 might get some of those, we are still getting 4 more titles.

Thats all that matters at the end of the day isnt it?. And the ps3 versions surely wont have the online features implemented in the same way, so the 360 versions already have an edge IMO.

Tecmo would be silly NOT to have some of Team Ninjas games hit the ps3, thats like Capcom not making RE 4 for xbox. Im still shocked they didnt have anything from DOA 3 on go to ps2, even though those versions would be watered down heavily.

I love how a few single poorly translated words from an unreliable sources puts everyone in their fallout-shelters preparing for the worst

Just another sheep that must be eradicated

Big deal if it does make it to Sony's side. DOA isn't exactly selling systems in Japan.

true, but itll sell like mad on their beloved system, sheep are inherently predictable.

wake up, eat, buy sony products, eat some more, shit, suck Kutaragis dick, back to bed.

Just some of the reasons I love this forum...Anyone here ever want to go a few rounds?

lol, I cant tell if thats sarcastic or not.

i agree entirely. i didnt post this info to cause an up-roar but to get confirmation by those who understand japanese like xombie. now that 1up has elaberated on the missprint things are clear now.

Like I said in my first post, let 'em have DOA4... as long as 360 gets Ninja Gaiden 2 soon.

Obviously a typo. Besides, didn't Itagaki say that DOA4 was the pinnacle of what he could do with DOA and that he's not going to touch the series again until the "need" arises (aka, Tekken bests DOA in some manner or form...)? I'm not worried about this at all.

I know what you mean, when I was in Japan I had to do as the Japanese did. Sucking Kutaragis dick was the worst part of my day. I didn't want to go to bed hoping I could delay it.

Yes he did say that. Another thing people overlooked is that he's making 4 more titles for the 360 that we know of, and that doesnt leave much time for them to make a ps3 title. Another 4 is going to be hard enough dont ya think?

I wouldnt be surprised if one or 2 headed to the ps3, but Ill be less surprised if they all stay on 360 only.

While sarcasm is a great comedic tool, I was not using it there. I love the take no shit attitude shown on this board, and your post was classic.

The Japanese like shite, simple as.

I know it's their taste, and they are different to us westerners, but it's still shite.

I mean for fucks sake, bus driving and fast food worker simulators, and they pay money for that shit.

Thanks for clarifying

@ Spark and his "fast food sim" comment

some of the sheep might get mad when they find out Kenny K already has a lover..

they are a culture who knows how to enjoy life IMO. just like any other culture they have their quirks, but i respect and love the japanese culture as much as our own. without their "shite" a lot of originality and beauty would be void from this world.



lmao that is disturbing yet funny at the same time.

jasker, im surprised no comment from you now that the correction has been made.

isnt he supposedly working on a sequel to DOAX and another DOA spinoff as well?

the other 4 headed our way are:

DOAX VB 2
Ninja Gaiden 2
Code Cronus
Project Progressive

And I look forward to all 4 of them.
