Tecmo President: New Team NINJA Targeting The West

Yasuda, the president of Tecmo, announced to Bloomberg Japan today that Team NINJA with it's new leader has been appointed to work on a big budget title game with a new genre, and is expected to be completed next year.

With the absence of Itagaki, the team has taken on a new motto for game development, "New Title, New Genre, New Location, New Leader".

Team NINJA's new game will not follow Tecmo's past game genres like Fighting, Action, or Horror Adventure; instead they will focus on a brand new genre and focus on targeting the western audience, though details can not be disclosed at this time...

R.I.P Old Team ninja

I wouldn't necessarily say that. True the new team might not have the same magic, but Yousuke Hayashi knows what he's doing. He was the director of Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3 and is very open to developing on platforms outside the 360. In his own words regarding the early days of the PS3, "it doesn't matter how small of an install base there is. There is STILL an install base." I respect this guy and give him the single credit for bringing Ninja Gaiden to another console and delivering so well. Maybe people disagree with me, but Ninja Gaiden Sigma remains one of my all time fave PS3 games.

I'm just wondering what Itagaki must be up to.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Review - A Visual Feast Lacking Depth | Chit Hot

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II has now launched, bringing with it some of the most stunning visuals you've ever seen in a game.

The first game lacked depth as well, but the graphics were phenomenal

...not to mention the sound / atmosphere. Especially when using headphones.

Going to be real. I’m playing on my PC and every setting is on high at 60fps locked. The game is beautiful, sounds good in headphones (I’m sorry but Returnal still holds the aural crown), and has an impressive photo mode. Can literally hit that at any time. You won’t have full control at certain times, but it’s impressive. After more than an hour I’ve already started to get bored. The fights are brain dead so far and it is a CRAP ton of walking and listening. I’m over the beginning “theme” of you did this to us (people that have played will get this as not to spoil anything). I literally non stop run every chance I get. Obviously isn’t the whole game but gahdamn. Hopefully it picks up soon. Definitely can’t see this being a 10/10 by any stretch of the imagination because the beginning has gotten so boring. Here’s to a better experience tomorrow or Friday when I pick it back up.

Elda3h ago

Agreed. I've played about 34 mins & it was boring. I'm going to try again tonight for another half hour or so & see if it gets better.

I felt this way with Alan Wake 2. I lasted four hours and then quit...walking sim with weak combat.
