Spector, Woo working on ... Ninja Gold

And nope, apparently that's not a working title. Going to be both, game and movie. Due to the nature of ninjas, it could be a mix of Thief and Tenchu, I guess.
Quote:
"Ninja" centers on a ninja warrior, part of a centuries-old legacy and bloodline, forced to confront the reality of covert warfare in the modern world."The game concept is actually based on facts that the Yakuza and the Russian mob are involved in tons of gold being stolen in South Africa," said Terrence Chang, Woo's production partner.
Added Spector: "The idea actually started with John Woo. He wanted to do something involving traditional ninjas in a modern-day setting, and the idea just resonated with me. I was intrigued with the idea of what happens when the traditional and the contemporary come into conflict."
I would love a proper 3D engine wall-acrobatics ninja game. I've wanted one for a few years now..... i was almost going to end up making it myself but luckily i've been saved the hassle!
Imagine a platformed like Prince of Persia crossed with thief? That'd be awesome... no, assassin's creed doesn't count..

Is Ninja Gold like Pirate Gold?

I loved that film!
Mr. Green. Assassin's creed doesn't feature really cool ninja acrobatics to the best of my knowledge. As every pirate knows, assassins are all well and good at scrambling up walls, but a ninja can run up walls. I'm hoping for a decent version of Red Ninja.... if that game was a little bit easier to control and a little less realistic with their physics then i would have loved it...

What's it with posting of pictures of bearded men in fancy armor suits?
Seriously though, Yakuza and Russian mob colliding in South Africa over stolen gold with a Ninja protagonist? How more whacked-up can it get?
Maybe only if both Mafiya and Yakuza are fronting an ancient cabal of Vampires, and the sidekick of the protagonist is a black undercover disco diva.

Make the sidekick a paraplegic who's simultaneously trying to raise awareness and get revenge for his mother's death (who happened to be killed by the protagonist's father though they don't know it) and you've got yourself a blockbuster!

Well, we can hope.

We need something to take the Splinter Cell mantle. I needs me some sneaky sneaky. That doesn't really jive with Woo, but I can still hope.
EDIT: And don't worry, Green. We're all buying Assassin's Creed even though there's no ninja action. Some of us will buy multiple copies just because.

Sounds like the random premise generator hard at work.

Not working hard enough. Where's the ninja pirate game that somebody promised sometime somewhere?

This is from the guy who made Thief. It involves stealth. Therefore, it is a required purchase.
You guys are WAY overthinking this.
If Jade Raymond's trying to sell this game, I'm so there.

Ninja gold is clearly superior to pirate gold.
Surely it's the same gold? I mean, the ninja's steal from the pirates... the pirates loot from the ninjas. It's the whole circle of gold life thing. I think it was mentioned briefly in The Lion King...
