What this game really needs.

[Ryuuzaki_Haya]

A naruto game with the gameplay style of the sparking series has alot of potential.(i always thought that the style would make a better Naruto game)Now with this new style of naruto,we need a new way to play it.We need real strategy.Every character should have their own strategy basis.For example,Neji's strategy would be complete close range combat.But heres a few of my ideas.

1. Hiding

With the free roaming tenkaichi style,hiding in tree's to gather chakra or to make a plan would be perfect for this game. If your losing in close combat,run off into the forest where your opponents lock-on would wear off.While hiding in the forest your opponent is forced to search for you,in this case having a far ranged strategy is useful.Someone like Shikamaru could hide in tree's and plant exploding tags on certain tree's so when opponent is searching the forest for him,he runs into a trap. But hiding from a Byakugan user wont be good,for he should have an automatic lock-on feature on the opponent no matter where the opponent is when the byakugan is activated. Sharingan users would have an easy lock-on feature.SO if your hiding from Sasuke,one wrong step and you'll be in his sight.

2.Jutsu's

I liked RoaN's jutsu feature(but it was kinda slow and lame,but it was leading in the right direction)in this game,instead of using analog sticks for the jutsu's,holding L2 and pressing the face buttons in a combo to activate a jutsu.Also,no cutscenes for jutsu's,straight live action for jutsu's would be perfect and challenging,making a high speed attempt to run away from a fatal jutsu would be nice.Shadow clones should also have a more important role in this game.Say when Naruto does the Kage Bunshin,in close range combat,they would automatically attack,meanwhile naruto could run off and hide for his next attack.But if the opponent is far from naruto,then naruto should have the option of telling his clones where to go,like a war game,4 clones,3 seperate,1 stays in the location where naruto is at for a distraction(as if the real naruto was staying behind)and the real naruto would jump tree to tree looking for his opponent.Also if one distraction clone was made,if hit,the opponent would be stuck in a 3 second slow motion scene,where he is realizing that the naruto he hit was a distraction,giving the real naruto a chance to attack.

I have more ideas but would like to see what you guys think about the basics first.Please respond,thanks.

a new title.

[circa604]

a very wide selection of characters.

Those do sound like good ideas, it will add variaty and make the game more fun.

[Psycho333]

those ideas are awsome but I would also love to see a varing storyline that changes based not only on your winning and losing but how you fight in a match and have that variation lead into the next cutscenes and the next story arcs

((Kinda like if Sasuke were to die in the Haku fight the game bipasses the Sasuke Retreaval arc and introduces fights with the sound four in another way or if Kakashi beat Zabuza with the dog jutsu instead of trying the Chidori Haku appears later on etc etc etc))

*

btw I ment the examples as ways of showing how this idea would make a different storyline for each playthrough

thanks for the compliment

the storyline changing based on what you do or dont do would lead to infinate replayability as each time would be different

*

another possible example would be if Sarutobi didnt use the Reaper Death seal against Orochimaru then the storyline would introduce Tsunade in a different way ((not to mention she wouldnt of became Hokage))

*

I also hope the storylines go all the way through Shippuden ((with the diverging storylines it wont be a spoiler as doing things differently would always lead to a different shippuden))

ahhh you mean like what if? story lines....that actually sounds cool....like so there wont be a GAME OVER for dying in a major fight you would lose availability of that character (except for naruto of course) and then you could have like the 3rd kills orochimaru then the story would go into more what-ifs....

Exactly that way the storymode will be different for each and every playthrough
