A legend whose run is over like Tomonubu Itagaki.

Well, there goes any lasting hope of an Okami sequel.

Okami is owned by Capcom. Kamiya could only make a sequel if he went back.

Wtf…what happened first Shinji left a long time ago. Now Kamiya could this be because of the Tencent partnership. End of an era…one of the big 3 better try to get a hold of him.

• Bayonetta
• Wonderful 101
• Okami

I totally forgot Shinji Mikami recently left Tango Gameworks months back too. What’s happening to some of the OG Japanese devs.

Oh damn. This dude the reason I bought a PS2 lmaooo.

I saw a DMC commercial and instantly knew I had to play it. Sold that Dreamcast with the quickness

They shyt the bed with the last game and left GB Fantasy Relink before it was finished, I wonder if those played a part.

Anyway I’ll always a keep a eye out for anything he’s associated with, i really fukked with his games

Prob got a job at NetEase.

Him and Shinji Mikami both leaving their own companies seems weird. This split doesn’t seem amicable though

Yeah he probably got poached by either them or Tencent... folk saying his wanted to go back to making games and not being on the business side of things

But if not, I'll be surprised if he leaves the industry for good
