Creator of the DoA series and DoaCentral's good friend Tomonobu Itagaki-san has a new team and new company. The new team has a bunch of former Team Ninja members from TECMO in it and the first game is targeted for the Xbox 360.
Here's a few key snippets:
I secure both Itagaki and former Team NINJA art director, Hiroaki Matsui (together they were the creative force behind the Dead or Alive franchise and the current Ninja Gaiden revival).
Katsunori Ehara: Yeah, that's right. It's just like Matsui said. We already did all of the things we could do at Tecmo. Now we want to make the best game with just the best people.
Yoshifuru Okamoto: We're making a groundbreaking all-new title right now. We gathered together a team of really skilled individuals, so we're going to bring out something amazing.
...
TI: I have my own production studio now.
1UP: I was told a few minutes ago that a couple guys who worked on Virtua Fighter 5 joined your team. Is this new game a fighting game?
HM: [Bursts out laughing] No, no that would be impossible.
KE: Yeah, we did all what we can do for a fighting game. We have no more reasons to make another fighting game.
So it looks like the next version of DoA, DoA5 will have no competition from Itagaki and will be fully in the hands of the programmers left at TECMO.
