IGN had the opportunity to check out several intriguing titles at Namco Bandai's recent press event, but one game that really caught there attention was Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PS3. Developed by CyberConnect2, the team behind the Ultimate Ninja Heroes games for the PSP, Ultimate Ninja Storm already looks like a highly entertaining piece of software. A few details about the game were presented at the opening of the press event, but IGN also had the privilege of sitting down with Hiroshi Matsuyama, President/CEO of CyberConnect2 to take a close look at what could be the coolest Naruto game yet.
There's nothing quite like flying in DBZ: Kakarot or Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm's battles.
That's also the problem. They are decent but never truly ambitious in challenging the powerhouses of any genre whether RPG or fighting.
Completely agree. Their games never quite reach that high point. They have potential but it's like they hold themselves back.
They do seem to have taken a safe route with the new Demon Slayer game though, which has no demons to slay (???) and is very similar to Ninja Storm.
I mean, ArcSys makes better anime games in Guilty Gear and FighterZ, so this argument fell on its face quick.
Those are both fighting games based off of an anime. Naruto storm, my hero one justice, that shitty one punch man game, etc are the games the writer is talking about Im sure
I like the games they work on and how they recreate the feel of the anime. They are masters of that imo but the gameplay is usually basic and doesn't ever try anything new. It's mostly the same over and over.
So that basically only ever makes it a good game with lots of potential to be a great game.
CC2 has a lot of potential. Theyre amazing when it comes to spectacle. Naruto storm looked great and asuras was amazing cinematic wise, but theyre gameplay needs so much improvement. Its so damn basic. Its like they hold themselves back. I remember the reveal trailer for asuras wrath having body slams, and suplexes, dragging enemies across the ground etc. And for some weird reason all of that was removed for gameplay that was hardly anything more than mashing the circle button.
And its even more frustrating cuz theyve done how many storm games now. Youd think they wouldve managed ti improve but tis like theyre not even trying. Idk man. I just feel like a dev like them shouldve been way bigger by now
Nevada Dru from Bits & Pieces finally got into Naruto and works his way through the Ulimate Ninja Storm series, starting at the begining.
A fun and creative spin on an inexpensive meal! Inspired by the video game series Naruto Ninja Storm.
No Online?
hmmm tough one, not feeling so enthused anymore.
.. and I'm a big Naruto fan, so i have high hopes...
BUT...
They will need to make sure of at least 3 things:
- Original japanese voices (with english subs)
- Original music
- Enough characters in the retailversion, and not the same DLC-scamming that Ubisoft tried to pull on the 360! (I boycotted the game because of that)
cant wait for this game
but no online that bites.
hopefully the offline story can make up for this.
cant wait to hear and see more trailer about it.
How many charcter again? 25? that a bit low hopefully they will put in more character than that.
wow... this wins my $60...
