About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 8283 DaysWith 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...
the new leaders (there are two of them) of Team NINJA are Jin Hasegawa (Project Manager/CG Team Leader in various Fatal Frame projects) and Yousuke Hayashi (Director for Ninja Gaiden Sigma).
I'm guessing it's shooting game, FPS or TPS. We all know we need more of those. Anyway, now it all makes sense why Itagaki bashed on Hayashi's work. He decided to stay instead of doing something about the unpaid bonuses.
Since 7600 DaysI'm sad to see Team NINJA take that route though, considering it was once one of the real high profile providers of pretty traditionally japanese action adventure titles and fighting games on the Xbox platform.
I think it's gonna take an enormous upswing for the 360 in japan or a global increase in PS3 sales to turn this trend around.
With a lot of luck, this doesn't necessarily mean an FPS title.... but really, who am I kidding.
Since 7459 DaysAnd yea I fear that too, we are guna see less quirky Japanese stuff i think and more westernised crap, we have enough of that already.
Lets hope thats not the case though, a good platformer would be nice though :D
But in all honesty Ninja Gaiden although Japanese in style still targeted the western audience, as did fatal frame to some extent.
Marumaro for the WIN !!

Since 7600 DaysUnless they can somehow have chisel jawed space marines jump around a lot.
Ronsauce; yeah, you must really have trouble avoiding the THREE of them on the 360.
(ps; three is a gross over-estimate)
Since 7459 DaysAnd yea Simon It wouldn't be the best idea to do a platformer, but I seriously don't want to see another shooter, and we know its guna be... *sigh*

Since 7459 DaysNG appealed to the west a lot so I don't see why they need to go a new direction, perhaps they are looking for similar sucess as Capcom have had, it may turn out to be a good thing, guess we will have to see.

Since 7600 DaysThird person shooter has slightly more flexibility in terms of interesting control patterns and stuff from a veteran action game designer like Team NINJA, but I think that would just lock into place with a Gears setup for controls. I mean take for instance Capcom who alluded to having an additional RE5 control scheme that mimics Gears.
New IP is always interesting though. And really, I don't think they're genetically capable of making something as off-puttingly generic as.. Turok... I mean Metal Gear Solid is a continuous exercise in trying to make a western game, and with each attempt they trip over themselves and end up with characters that look vastly different from what goes on in... Turok.

Since 7576 DaysI wouldn't mind a very Japanese shooter coming to the Xbox either. I love shit like Gun Valkyrie, and Metal Wolf Chaos on the original Xbox. They don't have much of a flair for tactics, or intuitive controls for that matter (and most rely on some form of target-lock).. but no one can deny that there are Japanese designers that rule at crafting action/arcade classics. Japanese action titles used to be huge, I wouldn't mind seeing a second coming.

Since 7576 DaysBut they do still make some very compelling stuff!
