FULL STORY
======================================================================

Hideki Kamiya - the director of Bayonetta, kami, Devil May Cry and many more 
- has completely shut down the idea of him collaborating with Nier director 
Yoko Taro or Death Stranding director Hideo Kojima. 

Kamiya - who left PlatinumGames in October - has been posting videos to 
YouTube in which he, as a self-proclaimed unemployed man, has been responding 
to fans questions and comments about his work and life. In his latest video 
which was posted today (November 23), Kamiya read out a tweet from a follower 
who suggested that he would make great stuff if you partnered up with 
Tomonobu Itagaki, the creator of the Dead or Alive series. 

Although he didnt address his thoughts on working with Itagaki specifically, 
he explained that he gets this kind of comment a lot, and ultimately thinks 
it would be a disaster if he worked directly alongside another distinctive 
game developer. 

People say if I work with an auteur like Yoko Taro, or if I work with Hideo 
Kojima, blah blah blah. Look, it would be a DISASTER! It doesnt work like in 
Dragon Ball , where Goku fuses with other characters, he said. Two people 
with completely different personalities and ideas would clash. Theres no way 
youd get a decent game out of that! Right? Why is that hard for people to 
understand? 

There is a Japanese saying - maybe a proverb - too many captains will steer 
the ship up a mountain, which means if a ship has too many captains, it will 
lose its way and end up climbing a mountain, he continued. So there should 
only be ONE CAPTAIN! Thats just how it is with unique game creators. 

Directly after leaving PlatinumGames, Kamiya revealed that hes unable to take 
another job in the games industry for a year, due to reasons. However, he 
added: Itll be a while until I bring good news to you all. Itll take time. 
But Ill make it happen.
