(Oh yes he did.)
Hideki Kamiya, creator of Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe and director of Okami, made some opening remarks on the Platinum Games’s new Bayonetta website that might just pique PS3 and 360-owning Sega Nerds’ interest. With a bravado usually reserved for Team Ninja’s Tomonobu Itagaki, Kamiya-san wrote the following:
“How have 3D action games evolved since we blazed a new trail with DMC? Can you even go so far as to say they’ve evolved?
Seven years ago, we put everything we had into Devil May Cry. But since then, like the hands of time for the 3D action genre were frozen at that moment, it seems like the drive to push users further has stopped. There is so much more that should be done now. And we are the only ones who seem up to the task. This is the spark that has lit the fire within me.”
But wait! There’s more!
