GameInformer have the first of a two part video interview talking with Tomonobu Itagaki about the upcoming beach volleyball sequel Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2.

In part one of our two part video interview we ask Itagaki-san his retrospective thoughts about Dead Or Alive 4. We touch on changes he wished he made, as well as players complaining about the difficulty of the final boss. Also since E3 was the debut of DOAX 2, we touch on a number of aspects gamers should expect from the sequel including improvements to the volleyball engine, mini-games, and story line. Did you know that he's inspired by an old Famicom volleyball title? We conclude this interview with a discussion about Marketplace items, and how they will work in DOAX 2.

Part two hits tomorrow with details about Ninja Gaiden 2, DOA5, and much more…
