So...yeah that's a thing.

This game just became DIAMONDS.

What. I, I...

Well he works for THQ now and having him as one the presets when making your main character is pretty cool.

Sure, why not?

Bahahahaha

Naturally. Also I imagine this is just a preset, and you don't actually get to play as him with his voice and all that.

That's fucking amazing.

love it. I am playing as Itagaki for sure.

thats great just great more hype

dude

DAY FUCKING ONE

That's super dumb!

Great!

I just want to see this Awesome Button in action. That and Itagaki just take this game to an even higher plane of insane!

This is fucking insane and I love it!

... Am I in a coma? Is this what's happening here? What the fuck?

That's....just grand. This game gets better every day.

Now I'm definitely buy... oh wait, that mind was made up a long time ago.

Very cool.

I hope they have his physical features down right, because I'd love to play as Tomonoatmeal Cookigaki.

It's ok, my face is scarred as well. So we can take the piss out of ourselves, it's our thing. But don't YOU dare do the same, because that shit is insensitive.

@FourWude: Tomonoatmeal... cookigaki...

I don't know whether to kiss you or strangle you

Is their bumpmapping and diffuse mapping tech up to the arduous task of oatmealface? Im not sure current consoles have enough CPU for it.

Sexual offenders in saints row? Makes sense.

If the guy didn't insist on being escorted by cute Japanese girls in their early twenties every time he makes a public appearance somewhere, I'd probably feel like this sort of thing would be a bit more uncalled for. It's also nearly impossible to complete a first playthrough of Ninja Gaiden 1 or 2 without wishing for the man's death at least a couple of times. Noticing his appearance seems quite mild in comparison.

Speaking of which, if you haven't seen an up-close HD video of Itagaki, I'd suggest that you keep it that way.

And lastly, he's not in the game. "Asian guy with long black hair and a leather jacket" is in the game. They were just showing off the character creator feature, and used him as an example.

Oh wut?! Damn~~
