How stupid is he to just find this out?

How does that make him stupid?

I don't think it makes him stupid, but considering his field of work. He is pretty damn oblivious.

Oh Kamiya, you know it's not possible to transfer The Power of the Cell to another console.

It's amazing how the WiiU could have been compatible with the GameCube if they wanted to make it so.

He is a dick, but he's pretty awesome lol. I mean I get it the PS4 not being BC is annoying, but the overall consoles decent, but needs more games from the Japanese.

Anyways as for whether B2 will be a flop or not of course it will >.

I believe that third one "Hey Hey… The hardware in the fool’s room only keeps increasing…"

might actually be "so the amount of ridiculously large hardware in the room only keeps increasing", but my japanese knowledges are very limited

Is it really such a good idea to start throwing hate at Sony? Seems like he's burning his bridges to me. What is he going to do if Bayo 2 flops on Wii U? If he pisses off Sony enough he'll be stuck on Wii U, Xbox One, or making multiplat games for both.

Does it even matter, every game of his is a flop, I wonder why is he still in the industry.

One clearly has no idea of his works to think this. You are clearly being an angry fanboy who is butthurt that he had some negitive things to say about Sony.

Hmm now whats the common factor behind these Kamiya-san made games... oh yeah they all did well enough to warrant a sequel. Wouldnt exactly call them flops.

Thanks for the heads up on this Twitter explosion, it will provide some good evening reading for me after work.

I think Platinum Games titles generally sell poorly because they require some actual skill, patience and practice to do well in them. They are all brilliant fast paced games and you have to pay attention to visual and audio queues to not get destroyed and to score the better ratings / medals / trophies. Most people can't handle the difficulty or challenge and pass them off as bad titles when they're just crappy gamers.

Good job Kamiya, keep bein' you.

He does deserve some right to be a dick since the inception of devil may cry but a developer is as only as good as his last work and in his case he's trash as of now due to the fact that he keeps making epic flops left or right so I don't take his words too seriously anymore for the most part.
