This doesn't seem real this is just under twice as big as the retail game(numbers wise). I'll be getting it for sure maybe we'll see knew charactors.

belal5765d ago

Because even with a crap camera and some dodgy background textures the combat engine in this game is still the best in its genre... that and the gore! lol

Great news. :)

Skip_Bayless5765d ago

It's probably equilvalent to the arena modes in Sigma or in God of War because notice how they said missions instead of chapters.

HateBoy5765d ago

"equivalent to a whole new campaign mode", I'm guessing its chapters, but you might be right.

Anyways, AWESOME news, 800p for 25 missions, no problemo! 25, lol.

xJxdOggyStYLe5765d ago

that this article has not yet been over ran with sony fans yelling and screamin rrod...ng2 sux...etc etc.... and finally some intelligent non fanboy talks goin on in here...bubbles for you all!

SCThor5765d ago (Edited 5765d ago )

..when Ninja Gaiden 2 SIGMA gets released :)

KingME5765d ago

MS haters, NGII is not made by Microsoft. So perhaps you should direct your jealousy at the developer.

Megatron085765d ago

Thats why I didnt buy the game when it came out figure they do something like that. The same way they released NGB on the 1st xbox. Dont get me wrong its great news but why buy NG2 when you can get NGB2 or what ever they are going to call it a few months later.

INehalemEXI5765d ago (Edited 5765d ago )

I have not bought NG2 yet but this makes me want to pick it up when I get SCIV Vader version. This is redemption for charging for extra costumes. The way I see it.

Bloodwar5764d ago

Way cool, well worth the money. 25 missions, thats a lot of missions. It going to take me as long to beat the DLC as it will the game itself. Worth 800 points.

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej2995d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772995d ago (Edited 2995d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842996d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3299d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113299d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

freshslicepizza3299d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3299d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773299d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3299d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3299d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3299d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3299d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
