“The opportunity to work with Team Ninja and combine our powers to strike yet another blow in our quest for world domination, was too alluring to pass up,” said Pete Parsons, Studios Manager at Bungie Studios, during a Game Informer interview in their January issue. “Plus, we just think the idea of putting a Spartan into a DOA game totally kicks ass.”
Team NINJA’s outspoken head producer, Itagaki, commented on how the two very distinct worlds can co-exist in Dead or Alive 4 , “Our first priority was, above all else, is to remain truthful to Bungie’s original design and background material. Then, ideally we were able to add a bit of Team NINJA’s distinctive flavor on top,” he said. “Think about it for a second: do you honestly believe there is anything out there that can’t be accomplished with the technologies of Bungie and Team NINJA put together?”
Dead or Alive 4 will hit store shelves this holiday season. For more information, check out the official Tecmo website.
