gaming news that don't deserve their own thread

So you do have the choice mid mission to switch characters to change your approach.
Dog petting !
Underwater crawling ! Breathing through bamboo
The kannabou, swinging the weighted end of a kusarigama to smack multiple targets, assisted involuntary seppuku... The new combat system looks nice and varied. I didn't see to much of stabbing people straight through the armor with a katana, which is always a lame take on sword fighting, so that's good.
Such massive Tenchu flashbacks, I'm here for it
The target info on the top left made me wonder if there will be a focus on actual ninja work after all, which was mostly about gathering info from locals and scouting where enemies and local lords were settled and / or currently sitting or disrupting a camp into a shitshow, none of it being assassination (again, the commentaries from the people introducing the video had the wrongest take on "historical shinobi assassination"...) I don't really expect it though, it's probably the bare minimum like the previous games, where chosing to have a pointer on the map or just gathering general directions wasn't such a big deal. Just walk in this general direction and you'll fall face to face with your target.
The comment they made on stage about "viewing things through the eyes of a foreigner" made me wonder if this is gonna cover the couple decades until William Adams shows up, given how they love to throw as many historical names as they can, but that would be late in the game.

Hideaki Itsuno is leaving Capcom as of today. End of an era.

Sucks that we will never get his vision of a third Rival Schools game, especially with how much attention it has been getting lately from Akira returning to Street Fighter 5 to Project Justice finally getting an HD port in the form of a collection.

It would not have been approved by Capcom's heads. In their minds, there is no room for Rival Schools' 3rd fighting game concept. They are clearly more focused on the fighting game collections, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, and Resident Evil.

hell, from what I have heard, the fighting game collections ONLY happened because of Itsuno, too!

Ghost of Yotei, from the Tsushima guys. Set in 1603 in Mt. Yotei (in Hokkaido, all the way up north). I don't think anything in particular was happening there at the time beside the unification, but it's nice to see Hokkaido featured in a big game like that. I guess we're hunting people from the losing side of Sekigahara fleeing the country.
