New NG II Footage – Itagaki Speaks

Written by DW | May 26, 2008

Kotaku rescently sat with Itagaki to talk to him about Ninja Gaiden. He also went on a tirade about how bad Devil May Cry is, and how the producers didn’t go deep enough into the combat like his game.

He not only went on to point the ills of the game but to also talk about the producers as well, even though he claims to have deep respect for them. Personally, I’m not sure what he’s talking about; my biggest gripes with Ninja Gaiden include a horrible camera system that’s always in your line of vision, and controls that could be much much better.

Oddly, some of the new trailers posted by Gamersyde show how people take his deeply rooted combat system and numb it down to one move that we all know and love: Swallow. So much for deep combat.

    reading some of the reviews on online, it seems the camera problem isn’t fixed in this version as well. i think the camera setup in a game is one of the most important thing alot of developers forget about. and from the video you posted you can already see things getting in the way. ahh well i guess gfx’s trumphs everything

    No matter what Itagaki-San, you can’t change the fact that DMC’s camera system, though more static, is better and the controls on the DMC games have always been rock solid. With NG, its hit or miss, and if that’s intential by design, then Team Ninja needs to rethink the difficulty strategies for there games.
