I hope so, all things considered Platinum should know better since all of their games tend to have multiple weapons, yet at the same time there are Situations, like with Jetstream Sam where he only has his one move list, but that was DLC for MGR, not a Scenario like this where it's the return of a big fucking deal like Ryu one of the most iconic characters in gaming who has existed as a badass everyone appreciates since 1988.
If Platinum and whatever Team Ninja is doing, fucks up Ryu by not giving him the dues he deserves, then they're absolute Buffoons, since only having the Katana was one of the biggest Criticism of Ninja Gaiden 3. These people should be extremely aware of what this job requires, unless they've had their heads buried in the sand, for over a decade.
Least positive but still positive to a degree scenario, Ryu gets more weapons as an update down the road, but that really shouldn't be the case. He's the main character of the franchise, not a bonus unlockable character like Rosa from Bayonetta 2. To fuck up in such a way would require everyone involved to have learned absolutely nothing from all the history the should be well aware of, because it's the history of the god-damn companies they work for and the history of the god-damn genre they specialize in. A fumble like this should never be in their cards if anyone knew what the fuck they were doing even a little bit.
But this is the video game Industry, where nobody ever learns a fucking thing the majority of the time, so you can never have your expectations too low. Given everything we've seen logically, I'm confident NG4 will be solid, but i'd be foolish to expect it to be everything it SHOULD be, until we have actual reason to believe so. I blame nobody for being worried about this game.
