Sonic's creator is just as autistic as his creation, who would've thought.

>>737014872
What autistic thing did he do?
>>
>>737015208
Plenty, such as throwing a shitfit about the Sonic X-Treme devs using the NIGHTS engine and scribbling out Naoto Ohshima out of the photo as >>737015145 mentioned.
Oh and he also made Balan Wonderworld which is horrible.
>>
Tbf he was always autistic, he mentioned in an interview the idea for sonic came from replaying Mario 1 level 1-1 like a hundred times.
>>
>>737015208
he got sentenced to prison for inside-trading

He's not autistic, he's just an olympic gold winner arsehole. From the top of my head
- credited himself as YU2, as in the Yu Suzuki #2 (creator of Outrun, Virtua Fighter, Shenmue, etc). (despite that, no Sonic game ever did not have camera and collision errors, all the way back to sonic 1)
- after sonic 1, he quit Sega thinking he is now a superstar and Nintendo is going to hire him any minute. He started hanging out in front of the Nintendo HQ and the bouncers had to tell him to fuck off. This story comes from his own admission.
- when the Saturn launched, he refused to work on another Sonic game despite Sega needing one. He decided to make Nights instead. Sega of Japan couldn't say otherwise.
- the whole deal with Sonic X-treme where the dev team asked for the Nights engine so they don't need to develop an engine + tools as well as the game, then Naka threatened to quit the company if that happened.
- when Geist Force was developed, he said in japanese to the team lead that once their game is finished, get the best coders to work for Sonic Team and fire the rest. Except he did this within earshot of the team, half of whom could speak japanese. The team then quit and the game got cancelled.
- during the DC era, Peter Moore ran a questionnaire on what kids think of Sega (they are the cool old guy that nobody remembers why he used to be cool). He told this to the board, upon which Yuji Naka jumped up and claimed this is a fake and a lie and he made the kids say those thing. Peter Moore replied to him with a very solid Fuck You (that is, he told his translator to say Fuck You, but the translator refused saying there's no japanese equivalent. note that naka can speak english fine.).
- airbrushed his co-workers out of photographs Stalin style, after Balan Wonderland tanked
- spent 2 years in jail for financial fraud. not lying, look it up. Insider trading.

The whole reason he made Balan to begin with was to get insider knowledge on what Square Enixs financials were

I think bi polar is more fitting.

my favorite part of that is that the exchange went something like
>tell him to go fuck himself
>moore-san there's no japanese equivalen-
>yes there is, tell him to go fuck himself
>>
TruAutistic Sonic started with Adventure, I'll never understand the autistic obsession with teenagers surrounded by friends doing "cool" things.
>>
a lot of developers back then thought they were such awesome fuckin pioneers duuuude, like, the rock star shit kept happening all over the place because it wasn't really a thing for some random folks in a garage or a company cubicle to put out a playable product that straight up got hundreds of thousands to eventually millions of sales, unless you were the music industry of the time. it's not much wonder that naka, romero and others got their heads so far up their asses, and it had a pretty bad habit of attracting attention-grabbing fuckwits.

that shit was like 20K worth. We used to get way better insider tips on /biz/.

Testing

>>737015915
most of this is autistic behavior on top of being an asshole anon
he very clearly doesn't understand how people will react to his actions
>>
>>737015915
>credited himself as YU2, as in the Yu Suzuki #2
You do know number 2 in Japanese can be read as "ji"? As in YU-ji? Yuji Naka?
>>
>>737014872
Creator/Designer/director of Sonic was Hirokazu Yasuhara.

What's next, you're gonna say Yuji Horii made dragon quest, or Keiji Inafune made Megaman or Koji Igarashi made Symphony of the Night Or Yuzo Koshiro actually wrote the music from streets of rage himself?

The japanese games industry is absolutely full of frauds who take credit from other people. And because you can't question your "senpai" in Japan, they just get away with it.

>Keiji Inafune made Megaman
he did tho

Meanwhile, the actual sonic autist...
>>
>>737015208
A game with a single button and not even reconsidering for a second.
The choice to tell the story through cutscenes without any dialogue and simultaneously dropping a light novel that explained even the smallest details.
Wearing this cylinder proudly.
>>
>>737015915
He left Sega during the middle of Sonic 06's development and took a chunk of the team with him, I like to blame him for the state of that as well.
>>
>>737014872
I wonder does he drinks Fanta
>>
>>737015915
>spent 2 years in jail for financial fraud
This is untrue, Yuji Naka spent 0 years in any jail; he received a suspended sentence. Meaning as long as he's a Good Boy™ and does not break any more laws for X amount of years, he only has to pay a fine.

I remember a story of him coming to STI and speaking Japanese with another guy in front of the team. They were talking about how after whatever game they were working on was done, who they were going to fire and poach for their own team, laughing about it like it was casual Japanese-ism shit. Someone in the room was fluent in Japanese and told the team later.
>>
>>737015915
You left out the part where he bought a Ferrari on Sega's dime and was mad when they were mad about it.
>>
>>737014872
I learned that in the late 90s when I realized how much he despised "American Sonic", glad I jumped ship on that franchise after Adventure 2. It was a good time to grow out of the notorious Sonic fandom anyway, though I did love the games, comics, and the cartoons as a little kid more than anything
