Below is game and story idea I thought up for Ninja Gaiden III. I'm posting hope these ideas might be of use to Team Ninja for the next installment of Ninja Gaiden. Also I have yet to play Sigma or NG2.


Ryu needs to pay the bills to help rebuild the Hayabusa village and to keep the government form disrupting their way of life.

Ryu gets an offer from a technology corporation, which also has a PMC (Private Military) division, and works out a deal to spy for them in exchange help.

A subplot of the central story would revolve around the technology corporation’s construction of a sword made of Diamond forged in a huge machine in their underground facility of course.

Scene:
CIA agent, “Times have changed Ryu; you’re a worrier of a different time.”
Ryu, “Only when we’re needed, huh?”

Scene:
Ryu is in a very elaborate office.
A sexy big-bosom executive approaches him form behind.

Lisa, “I’m very glade you decided to take our generous offer Mr. Hayabusa. Someone with your skills shouldn’t go to waste.”

Ryu, “they never have... we live in different worlds”

She looks him slowly up an down, both fearing an lusting after him and his powerful presence

Lisa, “Hum, true” ...now to what you’re here for, here’s your mission... (???)

Lisa, “I would also like show you the future soldier of the Military Industrial Complex.
(Insert company name) has invested billions into nanotechnology to greatly accelerate the formation of an elite fighting force. That’s why we get the big government contacts.”

Ryu, “I work for a higher purpose. Do you really think you can bottle a life-time of training and experience in some lab experiment?”

Lisa, “Using our Bio-Cerebrus (think of The Matrix information downloading) technology we can turn anyone into a ninja; ex-military, cyber-cracker, even the pool-boy.”
If you don’t believe me, would you conceder sparring with one of them?”

Lisa will give Ryu the option to spar with the new tech-soldiers or go off and start Ryu’s 1st mission. If the player chooses to spar an extra cut scene will happen. This is deigned as a way of integrating a way for veteran Ninja Gaiden players to bypass beginners tutorial stages often integrated into modern games

-Extra scene-
Lisa motions, as if to receive his sword
Ryu’s head turns slightly and his eyes look toward The Dragon Sword

Ryu, “the sword stays”
Lisa, “then here... use this”

She hands him the wooden sword (a.k.a. Unlabored-flawlessness!)

Game Play scenarios:

Scene:
Ryu must escape out of a (burning) aircraft and ninjas chase after him in sky-diving circle formations [or Beast-mans with jet packs jump after him]
Movie Reference: Shoot-em Up

Scene:
A fight that is like The Matrix Reloaded -Burl Man fight- with bullet-time in Hell on top of a temple surrounded by enemies.
Movie Reference: Jet li’s The One ending scene; Short scene in Aliens vs. Predator on top of the Mayan Pyramid

Interactive cut scenes
Successive Bullet-time for dead bodies and body parts, example: if Ryu is using the Vigoorian-Flails and start to kill on e after another would out interruption it would be cool if the game-engine slowed down for Dramatic effect Movie Reference: 300

Ability to run on top of enemies heads Movie Reference: The Matrix Reloaded and to many old Martial Arts films to list

Phantom Armlet: would make Ryu Ghost-out instead of blocking when the Block trigger is pulled Movie Reference: The Matrix Reloaded

lol..what da hell?
i got lost half way the point.

all I gotta say is this:

from the first line "Also I have yet to play Sigma or NG2."
that's all you need to say, this is stupid, it's completely dumb and not based on your gameplay, you're just making up stuff
"Ryu needs to pay the bills to help rebuild the Hayabusa village
what is that? like, come on, that's stupid

the whole thing can go to trash.
and running on people's heads? Ryu can already do that, one at a time, if you time your jumps right.

I really wanted to be nice to you, but you're an idiot, and as you said "Also I have yet to play Sigma or NG2." you really do need to do this

LOL Xino, where'd you get that?

LOL...exactly Toshiro, he never played NGS or NG2, so I thought he might be wasting our time:/

and I had the image long time ago, I searched my USB drive and was lucky I didn't delete it.

you criticize what you can not clearly comprehend. You walk the path of the Lesser Ninja. While I have not played the Demo of Sigma and Seen lot of game play of NG2 I thought was useful mention it. I'm not a early adopter I started playing NGB in 2006. since then I have read and saw almost every interview with Tomonobu Itagaki

what if you where put in the trash instead my ideas

well, first, you were not clear when you introduced yourself, and therefore we got confused, I apologize.

but your idea is still something that can go to trash, they got trees all around, Ryu has a bunch of yellow essence, they don't have any problem rebuilding the village (well, unless Ryu decides to get another Unlabored Flawlessnes, lol)
The village got rebuilt twice already, and in quite a fast time, ninjas don't depend on money.

if you want to, write another idea, it might be better, and we might actually like it.

NOUGEN

we need a story that involves fiends, ninjas, clans and Tengus.

Not about financial problems.

I want more Master ninjas, but not the ones that deal so much damage, they are so fun to fight with.

Aliens are a bad idea, huh?
time travel? definitely more teleportations
tengus would be a different dimension, we'd need some lesser tengus, different stuff living in the same dimension as tengus, and a tengu boss, stronger than the ones in NGS 2.

no no, no time travel. Not unless it's a gameplay flash back. Like a flashback that shows Ryu training and you control young Ryu training.

Hmmm..maybe they should do that, so that new players in NG3 can experience the training rather than on screen that tells you want to do:/ Like in the training will instruct Ryu (you) how to perform shadowless footsteps, swing on ledges etc

Yes more teleportations.
More Tengus and lesser Tengus that are easy to kill and stronger tengu boss or bosses

Please no AliensO_o

eh, Team Ninja said, Tutorials are for pussies, so no tutorials.

no aliens, good. more teleportations, yes.
you know that Ruy already performs teleportation moves with the claws right? I love doing the triangle counter attack with the claws, it's awesome! (just hate it when the Master ninjas do it, instant kill)

Team NINJA said no tutorials!? O_o
I hope you are not getting that idea from the guide book thing:/

anyway, is that the teleporation you are talking about? I was referring to the one in NG1, how Ryu teleported from destination to destination, like from Hayabusa village to Virgoor land.

I'm talking about both teleportations.

I believe the no tutorial discussion was on here a month or so ago, it just said that the things on screen is the only tutorial available.

Although I am not exactly adding anything to the conversation I too enjoy the various teleportation moves and wouldn't mind seeing more of them in in both the next Ninja gaiden and Dead or Alive.

NGS 1, True Dragon Sword stage two (red) Ultimate Technique.

not too original, but cool.

i was going to say i'm sorry that i'm bagging your story line but it really sounds TRASHY!!

i guess the only way it's going to make it public is make a blog fan-fiction story. if u get hits voila, good for you but is not going to make it.

I'm just being realistic here. so hate all you want. if you can't handle the truth then gtfo

well that is your interpretation. A couple of thoughts came together for this story ...the 1st is that Itagaki and Kojima are friends. and I'm sure you all ether love or really hate MGS4. 2nd Ryu was working along side a CIA agent in the Ninja Gaiden Anime & In NG2!!!! and In my mind to make the Ninja Gaiden more realistic a simple an easy plot device would be to have the modern world encroach on their way of life. Of course the Corporation is part sneaky Fiendish agenda, but I didn't want to just spoil it. besides would you really be OK with Ninja Gaiden 4 starting with the NES story line. seriously its like the Ninja Turtles old and out dated(but i still love the live action movies. I don't know how old you folks are but I need more at stake. and more big ti...err...

How awesome would it be to choose what nimpo you used during the cut scenes. or have non-linear story that changed according to your kill/combo performance or hidden secrets found!!

I really like to those gold beetles! but that had to go and make all male18-25 with skull every where because, you know , market research said so!

that's why I PhotoShoped this:Ninja Gaiden Print Ad PS edit

seriously WTF are you talking about man!? O_O

and did you really photoshop that image, I'ts actually impressive, I like how more realistic it feels with the greeny grass and blue sky with clouds.

yes I should have typed that out more clearly what I mean is.

I think i would be interesting game-play reward to unlock cinematics or hidden items base on my Combo/kill performance and I'm not talking about XBOX live achievements. I also think the Cut scenes in NG2 could be more interactive. and that would add more to the game.

I really liked the Golden Scarabs (beetles) you had to collect in NG:Black. But I feel those were replaced with Skulls because Market research about males ages 18-25 said we like skulls, so skull must be in every game because skulls are hard core you know (sarcasm)

Yes I didn't PhotoShop that image. Microsoft has Press website where they post HQ game art for advertising for Magazines and other game site.
I Downloaded the 900+mb file, toke it apart an Fixed it. the original was 6000x8000 pxiles. here is a comparison: http://hotfile.com/dl/22378334..._Comparison.jpg.html

4.9mb:/ you should have uploaded it to tinypic man:/

anyway, I've seen the original image, I just like the blue sky. And the rich colour toning.
