Team Ninja: Many developers don’t do justice to violence in games

Posted By | On 15th, Mar. 2012

Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi has told GamesIndustry that many developers don’t do justice to violence and gore, and it ends up being mechancial.

Just like Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2, right? I kid…

“Since a few years ago I felt the lack of potential in meaningless expressions of violence that were dominating games,” he said.

“If games just continued on the path of having more blood and more body parts flying everywhere then this would just lead to some strange and bizarre direction in gaming.

“If you are to have violence in a game there needs to be some meaning behind this. After all, the gaming industry has matured to a level which can accommodate this.”

It sounds like he is hyping up Ninja Gaiden 3 as the game will be released on March 20th in the US, but like, everyone knows that the game features less gore compared to the first two games.
