Designer Keita Takahashi is rapidly becoming the most controversial man in videogaming. Not long ago, the offbeat talent behind Katamari Damacy declared that, actually he didn't know if he could be bothered to make any more games. Now the opinionated livewire is at it again, this time revealing in an interview with Gamesindustry.biz that he's not that blown away by the Revolution's remote control-style joypad.
"I don't think a controller should have that much influence on the enjoyment of games," he raged quitely before adding, as if for maximum shock effect, "there's nothing I really want to do with it right now." Explosive stuff - and interestingly at odds with the rest of the industry which now seems to be conceding that, hang on, designing controllers with 52 buttons, two analogue sticks, a d-pad and 15 tiggers probably isn't the best way to attract a mainstream audience, while cameras, microphones and buzzers do the job really nicely.
What next? "I don't really use Live Arcade much"? "I might not buy Final Fantasy XII"?! "That Killzone PS3 demo looked a bit ropey"?! Lock up your sacred cows - we suspect this loose cannon ain't done firing!
