Koei Tecmo has PS4-only games in development

Koei Tecmo has several PlayStation 4-only games in the works, Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi told the latest issue of Famitsu.

“Right now, we’re making Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 as a PlayStation 4 and PS Vita multiplatform title. However, in the future there are a few titles that are PlayStation 4-only. They’ll start coming out from 2016, and while I can’t right now, we’ll reveal them in succession [when the time comes].”

Was anyone expecting Dead or Alive 6 and Ninja Gaiden 4 to be cross-gen?

[jc48573]

the answer is yes.

[bouzebbal]

i hope they show Ninja Gaiden at next TGS.. Only PS4 games in development? One more asset for the PS4!
I love Ninja Gaiden and DoA series.

[Army_of_Darkness]

Gonna be a dynasty warriors type of game guaranteed. Not that I'm complaining considering that I love the series :-)

[gokuking]

Really? The mainline entries in those games get the majority of their sales in the west. PS3 and 360 are basically irrelevant at this point.

@GreatnessWaits You don't see the hypocrisy in that comment? There are more Vita units sold in Asia than PS4. You want less people to play the game solely so that you can have some better graphics. That's not selfish at all ...

BTW Remote Play is garbage and never a substitute to a good port.

[MysticStrummer]

@goku - I will agree that some games are harder to play than others because of the lack of L2/R2 buttons, but when I can take my Vita to another state and play Diablo 3 remotely, I can't call that "garbage".

[littlezizu]

I hope they make Ninja Gaiden game utilizing full power of ps4 and gameplay similar to style of NG 1.

[jon_snow]

All the next Ninja gaiden, doa and other titles as exclusive for ps4 is major megaton. Hope KT reveal their games in development this TGS

[Eiyuuou]

As long as it isn't like Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z, It'll be decent to say the least.

[Ristul]

I hope for a new IP, that's why I love the Playstation platform, so much freshness!

Makes sense if you consider what other Japaneses publishers have been doing. Sega, Square, Namco etc for years have made many games only for the PS platform.

They are playing it safe and why not. XONE isn't doing jack in Japan and they need to make money. I don't think it will be games like DOA or Ninja Gaiden though as those games are much more geared towards the west and could do fine on XONE and PS4 alike. Likely some more of their obscure Japanese titles.

[gokuking]

Team Ninja only makes Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden. Koei Tecmo claims Ni-Oh still exists, but we haven't seen that game in like 10 years.

I encourage people to remember the venue Hayashi is making these comments to. Team Ninja's future games could be on PC and Xbox One in the west and still have his comments not be a lie by being PS4-exclusive in Japan.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I'm pretty sure thats not what he means and he is speaking about his team, it doesn't sound like he is merely speaking on behalf of his publisher solely.

Also not sure they mean only in Japan as it happens often, but thats not what they would state.

That would be like Square saying they are making FFXIII publicly only for PS3.

They didn't, in fact I can't recall a time a company has stated they are only working on one platform to mean by region.

I think it means exactly what it states, many PS4 only games are being made currently at Koei, as his team is confirming this.

We'll see next month at TGS what gets announced by them.

[q8kik]

Ninja Gaiden plz pretty plz

[Sevir]

It's a choice for them. And the current state of Consoles in their home turf, makes them want to bring their games to the west, but I can't imagine some of their biggest games being PS4 only. Give a ways like Dynasty warriors are assuredly PS4, and maybe a New Ip. But Ninja Gaiden has a fan base that's spanned over XB and PS, even if the PS4 is 30 million by the time they announce, I'm sure they'd not ignore the XB brand that printed money for them with Ninja Gaiden before it went multiplatform.

[Viryu]

To some commenters, please note that "has PS4-only games in development" and "has only PS4 games in development" are two different sentences, meaning different things. Nintendo or Microsoft platforms can still get some of those games, just not all. But also don't have to.

[saukelover12]

naw yo

[DragonKing81]

Sony PS4 is so diverse! American games and Japanese games!!! :)

[DigitalRaptor]

And don't you know it dude..!

Spearheading unmatched diversity is one of the PlayStation brand's strongest traits.

[DragonKing81]

Yep, I almost forgot indie games too!

[saukelover12]

Dead Or Alive 6 and Ninja Gaiden 4 Playstation 4 exclusive i like the sound of that

[FoxyGotGame]

A new Ninja Gaiden, a new Dead or Alive, and a surprise new IP please. Thanks Koei Tecmo!

Awesome that the PS4 attracts so much support Worldwide!

[chaos999]

NG4 be any good please. We need innovations and no recycled enemies

[FallenAngel1984]

PS4 really does get most of the games this gen

[MysticStrummer]

It has from the start.

[blackblades]

They already announced some games and teases. Dynasty warriors 9 and ninja gaiden 4 and Ni-Oh. Dw9 would be shown at tgs from what I know can't wait for tgs.

[StormLegend]

Very good news!!!

[FreddyFazbear]

What do you guys expect from a "Japanese" game maker called Tecmo Koei?

[Haru]

PS4 is the best place to play we get the best multiplatforms and an amazing diverse lineup of exclusive games from all over the world, PS4 is the the perfect console console lol no wonder it's selling so good

[n4gusername]
