Official Thread for all things Hideki Kamiya

Was reading this n GAf but thought I'd share because it's so great :lol:

Prime Blue - ashkan from The-Horror.com's forums sent Hideki Kamiya..."some" Twitter questions about the original version of Resident Evil 4 that was eventually turned into the first Devil May Cry. Among others, he revealed that Spencer was to be the protagonist's father, and that the hero was called Tony before they changed the name to Dante.

As the questions get more stupid, Kamiya becomes more and more annoyed. :lol"

Is Vergil dead after the final Nelo Angelo battle?
HK: It will be revealed at the sequel I'll make.

Will you ever be able to work with Makoto Tsuchibayashi again?
HK: Of course I want to!

Who is Tony Redgrave?
HK: Play Bayonetta.

I mean Tony Redgrave in your Devil May Cry.
HK: So play Bayonetta first.

HK: Some day I want to reveal it in the game...

HK: It' a secret.

Who made Dante's handguns?
HK: It's a long story... Read the novel of DMC (though it's written in Japanese)

Why didn't you make a flashback about Dante's past when he was a child while you were making DMC?
K: Give me time.

I've got the first Devil May Cry Trial Edition. I noticed that it has more doors than the original DMC. Why did you remove them?
HK: Cut waste.

Why Dante's hair is white?

If she's not Eva, who is she then? what's her name?
HK: She was a hero's mother only in the first plot.

Can you please tell me her name?
HK: She didn't have a name.

So did Lord Spencer killed hero's mother in Biohazard4 ?

HK: Only Dante and Trish know.

Is Dante hunting devils to take revenge on his brother and his mother?
HK: I said you must play DMC first and THINK.

DMC had a few characters. I wonder were there more characters in your first plot Biohazard4?
HK: No, almost the same

In your first plot Bio4, who was Stevie Wonder's daughter?
HK: Aisha was hero's partner's name.

Why Spencer's left eye is red? http://bit.ly/aQ5Htq
HK: I don't know. Maybe he is angry or something.

HK: To make games is always difficult.

Did you ever had a plan to port your Bio4 or DMC to Gamecube console?
HK: No.

In your Devil May Cry, Dante was a devil hunter. What was hero's job in your Biohazard 4?
HK: I can't tell detail.

You won't believe me if I tell you I'm still playing your Devil May Cry.
HK: Thanx!

You think your Bio4 wasn't scary enought that you've changed it to DMC?
HK: They changed cuz it was far from Bio.

Your Biohazard4 had zombies instead of marionettes in DMC?

Tony in Bio4 didn't have any sword but why his older brother had a sword in the artworks?
HK: Cuz it was just a plot

I heard a rumor that you like to remake your DMC at PlatinumGames. Is this true?
HK: Who said such a thing. You?

HK: That was just for the trailer.

Why did you design Nelo Angelo's model much bigger than Dante in the third battle?

Wow... She was from Russia?
HK: No one knows.

Whoa calm down this raged beast

It's a little irritation nothing more!

Barely seems irritated to me

sigh... ok thread title has be updated because clearly it gives the wrong impression. So apologies for that. It's more about the stupid questions he get's which you can tell are intentional to attempt to wind him up. And his slightly* irritated* responses to them. Agreed he doesn't throw a fit. He's not raging or anything. I just found them amusing.
