Thank you for doing your best with English comments! English is my second language, I am trying to learn Japanese as well but it's a difficult language haha
Thank you for making games that we all love!! I grew up playing RE2 and Devil May Cry. I knew about your other works thru gaming magazines in the 00's and played them all. Please continue making games your way. We will be waiting for your next masterpiece!!!
Thank you for taking the time to respons to both JP and ENG comments. This channel has shown a side of you I think a lot of people didn't know existed due to your reputation on Twitter, and I'm happy to see you taking your current employment status with humor and grace.
Today we still remember works from hundreds of years ago by Mozart, Shakespeare, etc. What games from today, if any, do you think will be remembered hundreds of years from now?
is hard to tell since games unlike most other art products need a very specific tecnology to be apreciated, and in hundreds of years this tecnologys can be long lost
From your perspective, Mr. Kamiya, what is the difference between the role of director and that of chief or supervising director? How is your role in a project like Bayonetta or Wonderful 101 different from Bayonetta 3 or Sol Cresta? Thank you for taking the time to answer English comments.
What are some of your craziest ideas you have come up with, that made Capcom, Sega, Nintendo or Platinum. That made them say "That's too crazy even for us"?
I am not a big fan of remakes I feel like you should do it on something that actually needs a remake or a reboot like DMC 2 because they didn’t get the expectations they wanted, since it was a big mess when developing it
@@By-the_Way unnecessary why do you want a remake of Okmai and Viewtiful Joe they are both masterpiece video games and what we need for both those franchises is a sequel then a stupid remake. But also I am very grateful of what we have even if we don’t get a sequel.
Are you currently thinking about the kind of games you want to develop when you're back in the industry, or are you just enjoying your time one day at a day until you're back in?
I feel like working with Namco back in the 90s would've been a solid fit with Kamiya. Slightly experimental action games with subpar funding. He definitely could've helped make those Musou games go in a better direction.
Btw kamiya san english is my second language, spanish being my mother tongue, in trying to learn japanese, but is difficult I hope i learn japanese fully soon in ..... 5 years
That is a bit relative, speaking in general. Like, if its a remake of an older than a ps2 gen game... which then would take so much effort and creative thought that it would be near a new game. But yeah, in this case the demand is for remakes of ps2 games, and they are not very old. DMC1 has a sophisticated gameplay for an early ps2 game and doesnt deserve a remake, and VJ is too simple and there is nothing substantial to add to deserve a remake too.
@MaxBraver555 Capcom tried to get the original directors of RE3 and 4 for the remakes. For the recent GnG revival, they hired the original creator to direct.
Kamiya-san i've noticed in a lot of your games you feature the theme of passing the torch on to the next generation. I've played most of your games and I play bayonetta all the time, and I feel like through them i've been able to learn a lot about game history and design. This is kind of a deep question but I was wondering if there was any design philosophy that you would like to pass on to future generations of designers, or if there's anything you felt you haven't been able to communicate through the games. Thanks for everything.
I have a good question! What did you think of the Viewtiful Joe anime? I really loved it Did you watch all 51 episodes? And do you know why they didn’t release season 2 on DVD???
Mr. Kamiya, if Sega offered you to work on a Sonic the Hedgehog game, would you agree? and What will this game be,how will you design it, and what are the mechanics that you will add to the game?
I really like that my opinion of the Shin trilogy is the same as him. Shin Ultraman is definitely the most underrated of the 3. But's hard to beat Shin Godzilla for sure.
Hey Mr. Kamiya! I hope you're doing well. My question is about Devil May Cry. Did Dante have an originally planned "bat" form? The plasmas mimic dante, so I'm curious if their bat form was a carryover from an early concept of Dante using a bat form. I apologize if this had already been asked/answered.
I would love to see you work on DMC 6, DMC remake and viewtiful joe Quick question what is your opinion on games that were inspired by your game design in DMC like the original god of war?
I wonder if kamiya would acept come back to devil may cry team and be part of the games production again, or even lead the creation since itsuno said he is a little tired of working with devil may cry and rival schools and want to work with something new
Hello Kamiya-san. I got #BLOCKED because I did put space in PlatinumGames when I asked you something on Twitter at first I was sour, but I'm proud INSECT and cool with it! Anyway have a relaxed year, enjoy life of unenployment while you can. I hope you will found a good place to work. P.S. It was almost 10 years since Scalebound announcement and I can't get over the cancellation. I realy think it would really good character action game, like a new DMC or Bayonetta.
Hello. There is an information that the creator of Parasite Eve 2, Kenichi Iwao, once worked at Capcom on Resident Evil 1 and Breath of Fire 3. Are you familiar with him? Did Kenichi make any significant contributions to the development of Resident Evil?
I told Capcom on their survey. Did you hire him? I don't see Kamiya update video on UA-cam anymore. You updated ur vids this week lmao 😂😂😂😂 I hope to see you working on your favorite game again. Thank for video always love you Kamiya san ❤
Hi Kamiya-san, you are my favorite Game Director, ever since my childhood when I played Okami and Viewtiful Joe. Your games have inspired me to start creating games by myself as an adult. I always wished I could work in a game with you as director! Even though you blocked me on Twitter ww.... maybe one day...!! anyway, did becoming a game developer ever squash the fun out of playing other games?
I wouldn't be against the idea of a DMC remake if it was directed by Kamiya, to be honest. Still, I'm not sure we need one. The original will always exist and that manpower could be put to better use by making something brand new instead.
Kamyia san, since your games are always so dynamic and sometimes almost like an anime, what are your thoughts about games that try to be more cinematic, like God of War, The Last of Us and even Kojima games? (English is not my mother language so if you see this, i hope you understand what i am trying to say 😅)
Have you ever watched the tokusatsu series GARO by Keita Amemiya? Its main character designs look very similar to DMC characters. If you have, what do you think of the series?
I'm learning japanese for two weeks now. There's Hiragana, Katakana, Furigana(hiragana and katakana in Kanji) and Kanji. There's plenty of youtube videos you can use to learn to write hiragana first, katakana second, furigana third and Kanji. After that there's Genki that is reading and writing sentences. From N5 to N1, depending on what you want to achieve. This is the one: www.youtube.com/@JapanesePod101
@@TheMDZ79 To be honest it was more of joke question. Although I think I have seen that channel and have been thinking it would be better to learn to read first. I have a hard time remembering words sometimes but I was able to read Katakana and Hiragana to some extent. I feel like I memorize the words better when reading them in another language however I think I'm not sure how to go about expanding my vocabulary beyond reading and trying to use context clues.
@@M7S4I5L8V2A I'm happy to hear it. I'm learning for multiple reasons. At first I was nervous but I tried and I like learning the language so far. I try to read Hiragana and Katakana words mostly. It gives me the motivation to learn more languages. I understood your joke btw LOL.
Kamiya-san, why did Jergingha’s Wonder mask overload ? Was this supposed to be answered in The Wonderful 102 with Bayonetta 2-like time-travel shenanigans? :)
It would be awesome if you and Shinji Mikami work together to make God Hand 2 or even remake the game. God Hand was an incredible game and it deserves a sequel.
Thank you for reading the english comments, Kamiya-san. Did you come up with the controller layout for the original Devil May Cry? Or was it a Capcom layout, because I noticed other games having similar control layouts as well, like Federation Vs Zeon. 神谷さん、英語のコメントを読んでくださってありがとうございます。 初代デビルメイクライのコントローラーのレイアウトは神谷さんが考えたのですか？それともカプコンのレイアウトなのでしょうか？他のゲームでも連邦対ジオンのように同じような操作レイアウトがあることに気づいたので。 PS : Kamiya-san was the true Namco X Capcom all along.
Everyone knows that you like shoot 'em ups, but a lot of people find it difficult to enjoy those types of games. What is it about the genre that appeals to you?
Hi Kamiya-San, if Platinumgames asks you to help them making the next Bayonetta games as a freelancer (in any position: director, creative director, supervisor, etc) would you accept taking the job?. Take care and thanks for the answer :)
Kamiya-san my girlfriend of 6 months is already asking me about marriage, but I feel it's too soon. I really like her, and I don't want to leave her, but I'm not ready for such a big leap in commitment. What should I do?
Whoa! 6 months of dating is WAY too soon to be talking about marriage! Just be honest and tell her that you're not ready for marriage yet. You two still need way more time to get to know each other. 6 months isn't enough. It hasn't even been a year, either. These types of things take time. There's no need to rush for marriage until both of you are ready to make such a big life changing commitment. Hopefully, your girlfriend will understand. Good luck.
Why don't you share what were your plans/concepts for future bayonetta? If you're not gonna work on the games anymore I think you could do this fanservice for us who supported you throughout the years 🙏 thank you
If you were to make a new hack-n-slash game nowadays, would you choose to get inspired by a badass guy like Dante as the main protagonist, or would you opt for a stylish, beautiful female protagonist like Cereza?
Hi sir just to let you know I have been inspired so much by dmc specially vergil. Is a true dream to heard anything about dmc 1 remake hopefully we get to see vergil in there

Thanks for the responses to the comments!
I am an English learner myself, and I can say that you sound very good. It's really cool.
What are some of your craziest ideas you have come up with, that made Capcom, Sega, Nintendo or Platinum. That made them say "That's too crazy even for us"?
I was impressed and pleased by Kamiya's mention of Devil May Cry. It would be very good if remakes of the first three parts of DMC were released
I would love to see a director commentary playthrough of Devil May Cry 1 (and other titles) like you did for Bayonetta!
I love your work ❤ Thank you so much for the amazing games you've created
CAPCOM PLS HIRE THIS MAN TO DO DMC1 REMAKE
Pls don't.
But absolutely do Remake DMC 2.
No a new game instead
Personally, I want to see a Viewtiful Joe and Okami remake.
I am not a big fan of remakes I feel like you should do it on something that actually needs a remake or a reboot like DMC 2 because they didn’t get the expectations they wanted, since it was a big mess when developing it

Hideki-kun is SUPER MEGA ULTRA cool!
Can confirm both links in the description are worth checking out 👍
Btw kamiya san english is my second language, spanish being my mother tongue, in trying to learn japanese, but is difficult
I hope i learn japanese fully soon in ..... 5 years
New theme for the new video: learn japanese with Kamiya-sensei!
Sol Cresta was the first vertical shooter. Absolutely love it!
A man of his age? Definitely no remakes, I want to see the last years of a vigorous game developer be spent crafting new stories!
That is a bit relative, speaking in general. Like, if its a remake of an older than a ps2 gen game... which then would take so much effort and creative thought that it would be near a new game. But yeah, in this case the demand is for remakes of ps2 games, and they are not very old. DMC1 has a sophisticated gameplay for an early ps2 game and doesnt deserve a remake, and VJ is too simple and there is nothing substantial to add to deserve a remake too.
Seeing Capcom recent remake history, they didn’t really have the original developers onboard. So It’s unlikely
@@MaxBraver555 Maybe as a supervisor. Not a direct role.
@MaxBraver555 Capcom tried to get the original directors of RE3 and 4 for the remakes. For the recent GnG revival, they hired the original creator to direct.
He's 53 lmao, you're talking like he's on the brink of death

I didn’t know Kamiya could speak English! 😮
LMAOOO he def can speak english. The whole twitter part is the funniest, especially 10 years ago with Kotaku LOL.
Mr. Kamiya, if Sega offered you to work on a Sonic the Hedgehog game, would you agree? and What will this game be,how will you design it, and what are the mechanics that you will add to the game?
It would be pretty cool if you did some footage of you trying out challenges in video games
maybe collaborate with game center CX?
What games would you take on a deserted island?
I really like that my opinion of the Shin trilogy is the same as him. Shin Ultraman is definitely the most underrated of the 3. But's hard to beat Shin Godzilla for sure.
Will your next game have to have a big budget, be a big and ambitious project, or would you also settle for something more modest?
Hey Mr. Kamiya! I hope you're doing well. My question is about Devil May Cry. Did Dante have an originally planned "bat" form?

Which food from outside of Japan do you enjoy the most?
Do you know who the mystery man who originally directed Devil May Cry 2 is? Before Hideaki Itsuno took over as director.
In a playlist on this channel he talks about DMC 2, he had no idea, he was simply informed a different team was making the sequel
