Word to that. Where the hell is it? Where the HELL?
It makes. So. Much. Sense.
Agreed in full. It'd be like an Eastern-flavoured Thief.

Needs visceral 1st person melee combat Dark Messiah style for when you are spotting/cornered, a host of ninja toys and we're talking. Assassinate the princess/general/warlord by infiltrating the castle/war camp/fortress ftw.
What are these idiots thinking - it's right there on a plate. Everyone loves ninjas.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Talk about a game concept that's ready to roll. Just scratch the surface and it's all there.
There's even a famous medieval ninja-thief who did assassinations and thievery, Goemon, whose life-story is the stuff of epic to boot ... his last task was to assassinate the Shogun himself, and legend has it he made it all the way to the Shogun's quarters and there was an epic fight where he was finally caught and boiled alive to save his son.
I was already contemplating how much work it would be to do in Darkmod. It's not just new skins, objects, and textures ... you have to have the toys, and the melee has to be frenetic, yeah, visceral like you say.

I've considered a Dark Mod total conversion too. A lot of work and perhaps better done in Source even - Dark Messiah's melee was pretty good fun. No where complex enough though.

You guys haven't played Shadow Warrior. :p

Melee in that game was pretty simple though. Just whack whack oh look the bad guy's in TWO sprites now.
Stealth was also non-existant.

I'm still waiting for a 1st-person perspective ninja game.
Nobody said anything about it being stealth-based.

May as well be "Random guy flailing a sword" instead of ninjas

No, nothing like the FUCKING THREAD TITLE it was responding to, lol.
Just kidding ... But really ninja without stealth would suck.
In your defense, you don't see (m)any first person pirates, cowboys, or vikings either, which would also be cool, but stealth isn't as essential for them. There's really only so many situations when stealth gameplay is really essential.

Did you miss the awesome Call of Juarez?
