5 hours for single player? Ill be playing the co-op story as well but the other modes dont add anything for me. I would much rather have had them focusing 100% on single player and then co-op story.

StanLee5153d ago (Edited 5153d ago )

5 to 7 hours for the main campaign is a bit disappointing. It should be noted that the writer only played 4 levels, so how he drew a conclusion as to the game's length is beyond me.

dgroundwater5153d ago (Edited 5153d ago )

I say 5 hours is far too short an estimate. This guy is playing on easy "journalist mode", using little strategy, just shooting around, and looking for the nearest door I think. A stealthy Sam will take at least 7 hours to do a decent job.

Blaze9295153d ago

Game Director Patrick Redding says with the single and co-op combined you can expect 12 and 16 hours and that's not even counting deniable ops.

I would have preferred a much greater focus on the single player game entirely, but some of the modes sound pretty nice and stick with the SC concept of stealth and combat.

bioshock12215153d ago

Didn't ubisoft say it would be over 16 hours?? Anyways the hunter mode sounds awesome can't wait to get it.

I kind of feel like this isn't going to turn out very well. Please don't let me be right Ubisoft! I wanna love you but my heart will be broken if you don't deliver!

KILLERAPP5153d ago

Judging by the four levels I played, gamers will be able to make it through the single-player campaign in 5-7 hours. What the hell!!???

Al Bundy5153d ago

I know right. 5 years of development and delay after delay and all they can come up with is a 5 hour campaign?

StanLee5153d ago

I think he's alarmed that the writer played only 4 levels and could make a declaration about the game's length.

Inside_out5152d ago

How does playing 4 levels make the game 5-7 hrs long???...5 or 7 is a big stretch...Still...the game looks amazing. A little disappointed no 2 or 3 players in versus. Big expectations for this title...can't wait...

A little more then a month and its finally here .

I guess ill forgive ubi for those delays .

KILLERAPP5153d ago

Come on Al bundy, Heavenly Sword was only 5 to 7 hours and is still one of the most talk about games of the PS3, if the game tells a great story and play well, is good in my book beside there is a lot of coop in this game and like stanlee says we still don’t know if this is true since the writer has not play the game completely.

jdktech20105153d ago

While I agree it's a rental (never fan of the Sam Fisher games)....you never intended on buying it anyway....all I see you do is bash the 360 and anything it stands for so you can drop the act

hoops5152d ago

Let me guess? If this were a PS3 game you would not be complaining about the length. And is it confirmed to be 5 hours in length....

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane351829d ago (Edited 1829d ago )

Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead

hiawa231829d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351829d ago (Edited 1829d ago )

@hiawa23 i think R* has plans to remaster MP3 at this point

Z5011829d ago

You couldn't play your copy of NG2 before this announcement?

Bane351829d ago (Edited 1829d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931828d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011828d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

bluebenjamin1829d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz1829d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1829d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1828d ago
Movefasta19931828d ago

facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.

Gaming4Life19811828d ago

Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.

What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.

bluebenjamin1829d ago

Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes

Movefasta19931828d ago

I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable

Z5011828d ago

Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.

You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.

What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.

Gaming4Life19811828d ago

I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.

Hungryalpaca1828d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1828d ago

No Mario Kart is the best racer ever almost anyone can play

timotim1829d ago (Edited 1829d ago )

Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏

Keep it coming Xbox!

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2018 any good?

Neil writes: "Every single month we hear the same old thing about the Xbox Games With Gold titles. "We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2118d ago

Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.

ApexWolf222118d ago

Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.

AG1002118d ago

at least you can play the 360 games on xb1 too lol

Goldby2118d ago

Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely

yomfweeee2118d ago

I though Plus was lackluster this month. Gold is way worse.

BQ322118d ago

Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.

annoyedgamer2118d ago

No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

lxeasy2118d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."

C-H-E-F2258d ago
