Why can't a kino Naruto game be made in which fictional side characters are explored just like they did with Harry Potter through Hogwarts: Legacy?

A open world Naruto game where you play as a Shinobi from a small village doing stealth and recon missions, stealing scrolls, where you tie in with major events of the history despite playing only a minor role, are AAA CEOs really fucking sure there isn't a major audience for that, even though Naruto is the most popular anime of all time?

>naruto is the most popular anime of all time
lol
but that is the way that all anime games should be, explore the world we've come to love in new ways, rather than rehashing the same story from the manga and anime but objectively worse

There are tons of Naruto Gmod servers.
Yes, they are as cringe as you expect them to be.

Here is the actual answer.
If you were to give people a naruto game where they could make their own ninja and you were to put said protagonist character at any point in the setting that wasn't
>during the warring states period before hashirama and madara's parents were born
>after the end of shippuden and ignoring the events of boruto
You would have a character that would be completely unable to be cool lest they drastically change the timeline of the universe.
A protagonist level character would greatly alter the outcome of any great ninja war.

ok cool but let my oc fuck all the girls

You can't even xenoverse naruto because of how easy it is to throw off the naruto timeline by interfering in any individual fight throughout the series.

>>717301365
I'm sure you could do
>naruto warring states muso
And write a compelling enough story with original characters, but it wouldn't exactly be what people ask for.

1. Whenever someone mentions this for One Piece or Hunter x Hunter, you get a flood of faggot anons who claim the only appeal is in the preexisting characters and they would refuse to play the game if you made your own character and didn't follow the story. Publishers hear them and agree.

2. Developers agree. The only reason you, as a video game developer, would make a game for some other dude's IP is to bait preexisting fans into buying your game. As such, it doesn't behoove you to make a game without the familiar characters and story. You also probably don't have the budget anyway. This only is maybe possible if the suits who own the IP also own you, since you don't need to pay licensing fees then.

3. Even most authors who spend a lot of time on worldbuilding and selling their readers a power fantasy, like what you see in battle shounen, still acknowledge that their work is a story and as such has a beginning and an end. This means, by the end of the story, they tend to leave very, very little room for anything meaningful to be explored. Writing a new story in that world then becomes troublesome as you're constantly hiding under the shadow of Ninja Jesus and the Greatest Conflict Ever Told Ever.

Granted, you can always squeak something through. The Naruto world is pretty big, the story covers a short period of time and your own story doesn't need to reach the same absurd power levels or geopolitical relevance. There is still, however, the specter of canon that forces you to artificially restrain your story. You can't contradict canon, you have to be mindful of where canon characters are and what they should be doing at all times, etc. It's just a huge pain in the ass.

That said, it's easier for some series to get away with this than others. For example, if you look at JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, you could remove a part and not notice anything really absent reading the other parts. So why couldn't you insert a part?

Why would I want to play a Naruto game where I don't have the good Jutsu? Naruto is a freak of nature that has enough of a chakra pool to spam a jutsu that will kill you if you spam it while also being permanently dragged down by the fox
Playing as a normal ninja would be boring as shit, you can't play as an Uchiha because there's like two, and Hyuga suck.

>>717300647 (OP)
SASKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Where is Boruto Storm? (Connections doesn't count) Why are they holding out on us?

>>717300647 (OP)
I would play an RPG game like that, even a xenoverse style timetravel bs RPG would be acceptable.
ANYTHING but Boruto or generic arena fighter/fighting game garbage

>you can't play as an Uchiha because there's like two, and Hyuga suck.
I think the best way to make a naruto rpg is to just make it hypothetical boruto alternate universes.
I would play the one where Sarada is Sasuke and Karin's kid and adopted by Sakura and Rock Lee.

>doing stealth and recon missions, stealing scrolls
Because Naruto, the ninja manga/anime, is not about stealth. It's about who is the strongest Japanese wizard capable of summoning meteors and giant animals to fight with them.

>>717300647 (OP)
too much effort when they can just make an arena fighter that copies the story. Maybe toss in some what ifs if they're feeling frisky

>natural born genius tempered by 2 of the the most disciplined ninja in the franchise

>>717305001
>hypothetical Boruto alternate universe
or how about just alternate Naruto universe?
I don't want any of that gay ninja technology.
Think how easy it would be to just have an alternate story where the first hokage or Madara weren't possessed by some gay rival ghosts, but were just powerful, but grounded
In a world like that, you could throw away any expectations - every player could potentially be a jinchuuriki, uchiha or any other special snowflake clan
You could set the story in a way that the Uchihas never planned a revolt, and never got rekt by Konoha, meaning you never needed Itachi to be some nationalist spy
Everything beyond that could be just similar story but not quite
>Orochimaru still exist as a villain
>Akatsuki could still exists as villains, but without Tobi, Itachi, Madara or whatever that stupid plant guy was
>final boss could be Nagato, so we'd never go beyond regular summons and sage-mode in terms of insane power

In a setting like this, Naruto wouldn't have become possessed, he would've had a normal loving childhood, and you could hypothetically team up with him, sasuke and whatever characters we had in normal timeline
And then, the Player Character could potentially obtain or be possessed by one of the tailed beasts depending on choices made (IE defeating Gaara and somehow transferring it from him)

There's limitless potential and options, and they're only gated by how edgy the creators are willing to be

make an ino eroge and print millions

Why can’t CC2 just make a Naruto game as good as Storm 3 again? They released Storm Connections which was a low effort product and then they stopped supporting it after the first season pass.

>>717308523
CC2 is only interested in making furry tank 2d tbs games.

>>717303816
>>717305001
>>717305775
Not canon. Kill yourself bortnigger.

>>717308679
There is no way in hell CC2 is making money from those furry games. The best thing they can do is reboot Naruto. Start from the beginning again with newer, better graphics and revamped gameplay.
