Heading in which way? Loving it or hating it?
I understand what you mean in most interviews. And it typically is because I don’t think he’s as hands on super involved as he used to be. But for this interview he did a much better job. Obviously he wasn’t perfect but that’s because his mouth and lips were on fire lol
You might be onto something, I know he's only a programmer but obviously leading a team to make a game and a lot of what he says just seems off to me nowadays. That comment he recently made about their animations made it even worse. I haven't watched this interview but I will when I get the chance.
As for MK1, it's unfortunately heading towards the not like direction. Hate is too strong of a word. I'm not a fan of assist fighters, so the second this was revealed to be that I was already sad. I still decided to give it a shot because it's MK, and tried the stress test and the beta and I simply didn't enjoy what I played. Between the gameplay and the character designs I simply checked out. Even if I were to play an assist fighter, I'd rather play one that didn't feel this slow, clunky and sluggish and what was basically a tower mode last game.
Being sandwiched between SF6 and Tekken 8 surely doesn't help either. Oh well it is what it is, can't please everyone so I'll sit this one out and hopefully the next one is better and back to 1on1 gameplay.
