Ninja Gaiden 4 but Ryu isn't the main protagonist

[Morbis]

Just why? Were there too many complaints about the main character of Ninja Gaiden being there too much?

I don't get why they would do this either. It's one of those franchises' that just doesn't feel right without him being the main playable character. Like why take these stupid risks.

Hopefully it'll be like halo reach where ya you didn't play as master chief but noble 6 was definitely the next best thing. I'm new to the franchise so for me it doesn't matter but i understand completely why it bothers the og fans.

personally dont like alternating between characters especially if theyre too similar

Because "♥♥♥♥ the fanbase, the don't know what good, or what they want, but we do"

Like seriously, is this the first time the ninja gaiden fanbase has sucked pavement recently alone?

The only reason this is happening is cause wo long bombed on them.

Not a fan of it, either.

If their plan is to add two characters, then, hopefully, each one has a different story without switching from one to the other, back and forth.

I got MGS2 vibes from it... and in a bad way.

I'm happy that there is a new Ninja Gaiden sequel coming out, but I pretty much didn't like anything about it in the trailer. The new character looks like a lame K-Pop singer. Just plain uninterested.

Besides, Ryu should still be the main character and any extra character should be only playbale in some chapters like the Sigma versions.

Moreover, if you wanted to bring a new character, why not just bring Ein into the series? There are plenty of characters in this universe already, there was really no need for a K-Pop singer.

As you saw in Developers it is also Platinum / Team Ninja. So yeah you will get a vibe of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in this game that is if you have played it back in the day.

They did the same in Devil May Cry and it sucked.
I'm guessing it's about attracting Zoomer audience.
Zoomer audience loves Nero and hates Dante who is more millenial coded.
They just don't like classic macho stoic characters, they want edgy zoomer character.

Both Ryu and Raven will be playable, so...

New gameplay looks great if you haven't seen it. I for one would love to see other clans in Ninja Gaiden with their unique techniques. Looks good so far.

It lets Platinum do their own thing without stepping on Team Ninjas toes.
