Sound like this corporation is headed for big trouble source gamedev: Aside from Tecmo's stock dropping 10% with Itagaki's departure, the company now also has to deal with the resignation of up to thirty-six other members of Team Ninja who, as the story says it, may also file their own lawsuits against Tecmo over what is likely to be the same unpaid bonuses that Itagaki referred to in his filed complaint. Gaming site Shacknews reports on another aspect of this story saying that "Tecmo may have violated Japanese law by withholding information about Itagaki's suit from its shareholders. Corporate law in Japan states that any lawsuit filed against a publicly-traded company must be reported to its shareholders on the same day, but Itagaki's suit -- filed on May 14 -- was not revealed until the developer himself issued a public statement on June 2." I think some of you guys are more familar with this corporation then I'am!
Already mentioned in this thread (briefly though) http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18815 Time to start saving up, looks like more devkits on the way ;P
Itagaki Tecmo Takedown Version 1.0 - install it now and obtain updates ;-) http://kotaku.com/tag/Tecmo-in-trouble/
Bill Gates should be getting his cheque book out as the Tecmo games were the only Xbox 360 games that were selling in any decent numbers.
You're not 15 (that I know of). You should know better. Welcome to the world of sales having absolutely no reflection on how good a game is.
No... I think its at 255K now. Lost Odyssey might wind up beating it out. 'Tis a shame. Ninja Gaiden 2 is a truly brilliant game. On the upside, its doing a lot better than Ninja Gaiden Sigma did. :nod:
I really hate how a lot of 360 players have no fucking taste in games. I hate how half the good games are never on peoples played list.
Welcome to the new console of the casual arse hole. The PlayStation used to be it but it now seems that it's the turn of the XBOX. It really is sad when companies really put the effort in then some half arsed heap of crap makes all the money. Yakumo
Hey, if Lost Odyssey is currently sitting at 720K, then there's hope yet. :nod: But it is a damn shame NG2 isn't a million+ seller or whatever. The game is incredible, and I do not understand why more people with 360s bought f'ing DMC4 than it.
Did DMC4 even sell that good? I only know 1 person who has it. It's like 20$ now, maybe I'll pick it up. Haven't played since 1 and the demo was fun. But really pisses me off NG2 hasn't sold more. I'm about to say fuck you to Ninja Gaiden 2. This boss fight is total bullshit. I keep dying from the shitty camera, and everytime I move in close to fight it I fall through the fucking polygons of the dragon and it kills half my life bar. Bullshit like this makes me crazy.
Like I said in the other thread, just stand there and shoot it with arrows. I promise it works. :nod: In so far as DMC4 sales, it sold over a million worldwide on the 360. 690K of which came from the US.
