Prepare to be shocked! Ninja Gaiden 3 - the one with the DLC - is not about clouds or flowers or kittens, it's about violence.There is also a finer distinction between the next Team Ninja title and the previous one according to producer Yosuke Hayashi:
"To us, there's a difference between gore and violence," how exactly you get the gore without the violence isn't made clear. However, Mr Hayashi continues his theme anyway.
"
Ninja Gaiden 2 was about gore.
Ninja Gaiden 3 is about violence ... that feeling of cutting into bone, actually killing a person. When you cut off an arm, it just becomes an object. Ryu is fighting humans, not monsters, and we want you to feel that."
Still, no kittens.
