Itagaki talks Ninja Gaiden 2: changes and improvements |
Ó
Team Ninja leader Tomonobu Itagaki sat down with Famitsu Xbox 360 to talk about the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden 2. Real-time footage of the sequel to the highly popular Ninja Gaiden Sigma was shown earlier during the Tokyo Game Show, bloodier than ever.In the interview, Itagaki explained that when the original Ninja Gaiden was first released, it still needed a lot of fixing. Time and system constraints prevented it to be improved in time but now Itagaki is confident that the sequel will be able to implement the fixes.
Gameplay will be different in Ninja Gaiden 2; instead of being focused on defense like the first game, the sequel will be focusing more on being on the offensive. Also, although the trailer for Ninja Gaiden 2 showed a simplified version of the weapon selection selection, players won't be able to switch weapons on the fly.
Some improvements were also made for the camera system in the game. Instead of pushing the R button to focus the camera, it will be done automatically. A manual camera will still be included in the game, though. Ryu Hayabusa's health bar in this game will also recover automatically. It won't heal completely but at least we won't have to run back and forth to the store as often.
Itagaki also related how the game really capitalizes on sex, blood and gore. When it was suggested that the game may get a Z rating (the rating in Japan for games like Grand Theft Auto) Itagaki commented that they're "making it with that intention." The game is likely to receive at least an M rating in the U.S.
