Igarashi + Cox? Hmmm....
Honestly I think producers tend to take too much credit for their teams' work, but that's the way of the world I suppose...
If I understand the rumors correctly, Mercury Steam is in charge of developing these games. So even if Igarashi is somehow involved, it seems his Akumajo Dracula team is not. Perhaps Igarashi would be a figurehead much like Hideo Kojima was for Lords of Shadow --it would be a smart PR move to placate disgruntled fans. One thing is for certain --we need to get some hard news. I get the feeling half of what we're reading here is speculation...
