Posted by @ 3:41 PM, EDT
IGN posted an interview with Temco about the US version of DOA2 (DOA2: Hardcore), the PS2 and Ninja Gaiden.
Here’s a bit:

IGNPS2: It has been announced that DOA2: Hardcore will have a new graphics engine. Can you elaborate on that? Is it being created from the ground up for PlayStation 2? Or is Team Ninja just using the extra six months to enhance the engine that was used in the Japanese version of Dead or Alive 2 for PS2?

Team Ninja: We have made considerable improvement on the performance ability over the Japanese version. I think that the graphics engine of DOA2: Hardcore will be one of the few software that fully utilizes the capability of PS2.
