Well, the manga seems to be ending, soon. Of course Kishi might pull a twist and make it last another ten years, but that's what we've seen so far. All that's left is defeating Madara and then probably some kind of an epilogue tournament for the seat of Hokage.
Anyway, the storyline of the Storm 3 game ended in a pretty bad moment from a gaming point of view.
Canon story ended with Madara appearing on the battlefield, the rest is non-canon.
That goes for Tobi battle, too - not canon at all, although it did contain parts that actually happened in the manga.
Where am I going with this?
If they made another Storm 4 game, what would be the starting point of the story?
Start with epic battles against Madara and Tobi, the conclusion of the greatest wars of all time? That goes against all rules of storytelling ever, to start a story from a climax. And if they did this, the game would be very short.
What else could they do? Rewind and start from the beginning of the war again? Nah, that would make people feel they've been scammed by buying the same game again.
That's why I have another idea that I think might actually happen with Storm 4.
How about they make a game with a storyline covering all the manga from the beginning till the end? Of course assuming the manga will end soon. And I don't mean a storyline like in Generations, but a solid one with cutscenes, epic boss battles and stuff, just like in Storm 3.
Then they would expand character roster - with all the current support chars becoming playable and adding new ones: edo kage, swordsmen, sound 4, Kurenai (I still don't get it why Kurenai hasn't yet been included), all part 1 characters and not just a few like in Storm 3...
What do you guys think? Any ideas?
