2006-09-13 10:12:39 New (DOAX2) Itagaki interview (ninja gaiden is next)

http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=13053&ty...

He definitely loves the Xbox 360 and I really like how keeps stressing the console's flexibility music to my ears basically feels he has what he needs to achieve whatever look he so pleases.

Just check out how awesome this game looks (especially the beautiful looking water during the racing...) Just imagine what these guys will pull off in Ninja Gaiden 2 or if they were to ever make an rpg for the 360. This is the type of development team that Microsoft should have first party its like a match made in heaven, but naturally I highly doubt tecmo would let go of them. Their full focus turns to the next Ninja Gaiden when they are done with DOAX2 :D

NG2 is going to be awesome, and I am pretty sure everyone knows what kind of request I have for Itagaki. Everything Ryu can do in CGI MUST be used in the gameplay system, because it feels like we are getting a downgraded version of Ryu while playing and in the CGI he looks like a Ninja God, and it pisses me off.

In DOA4 CGI clip for Ryu, he uses grappling hook and runs on the walls, he ground breaks when he falls on the rooftop, he kind of skydives, he does awesome spin acrobatics really fast in the air....etc. and much more.

And I agree with you Krane, that the water looks amazing as hell, and cant wait til Itagaki uses the same water effects om NG2 and make Ryu swim in it.

I hope Itagaki also upgrades Ryus "black ops" outfit, the black leather one. Some kind of ancient marks on it, or some sort of a cool mix of Assassins Creed style, would be awesome.

Well I cant wait until the damn DOAE2 comes out, so we can just wait fore the NG2 news, and it should be exclusive for the 360 damn it!!!

You know they'll be pulling out all the stops in this one. Really eager to see what Itagaki and his amazing team does on the 360.

I imagine its going to be 60fps dying to see all the improvements they make on the series. Besides the expected graphical boost I'm eager to see what they'll be doing new to take advantage of the new hardware besides from a graphical standpoint.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up adding some cool context sensitive system to the mix to give us some of those insane action sequences while at the same time giving us a more movie like presentation. I imagine he'll give us more of ryu's cool cgi scene abilities in the actual game, but for the ninja god stuff sath I expect context sensitive situations to take care of that.

Handled properly it could be the most impressive looking game ever.

Iw ould love it if they could implement some sort of Super Orb Attack like in Ninety Nine Nights and also have some kind of Co-Op missions to play over live where you are put against the most insanely hard enemies with some great Co-op combo moves possible .... Yum Yum! possibilities are endless!

Their breats wobble like Jelly lol!

2006-09-13 20:10:29

When did people start calling it DOAE2? Is that like a subtle protest against the cheesy spelling of "Xtreme"? =)

2006-09-13 20:21:51

Yea officially it's DOAX2 folks--I know Op is a trend setter and all, but that's the name :P

2006-09-13 21:05:26

Actually it was me who Edited it :/

But be my guest and blame Optimus all you want.

Take one 360, add some chopped PS3, stir in some Wii, a sprinkling of DS Lite. Enjoy :)

His "vacation" is a development of DoAX2

I have huge expectations for NG2, but I have no idea what they could do with 360 power.

2006-09-14 01:49:04

A stream of awesome action titles from itagaki, we dont need no stinkin god of war.

If I was Itagaki, my vacation would be making Ninja Gaiden games.
