PS4 Exclusive NiOh’s Worldwide Release Date Announced

During PlayStation’s pre-Tokyo Game Show Press Conference, Koei Tecmo’s Kou Shibusawa finally announced a release date of NiOh.

[Germany7]

Multiplats, lack of exclusives, lack of new announcements and delays, Sony TGS conference was a huge disappointing, just like any news for PS4 recently.

[UCForce]

Seriously, what turn you ? You used to support PS community and brand, but now you just being sketchy all the sudden. You can still play PS4 Games on Pro without being split the fanbase. You don't need to worry about fee update on PS4 Pro, that's developers, not consumers. I know PS Now is out on PC, but it's streaming service, not a digital store. I get it why you kinda being let down by Sony, but in difficult time we need to keep going and confront Sony. All I saying is that keep supporting PS brand and community. I don't think Sony is perfect, but they need to listen and they need us. Look, if you got something to talk with me, just send PM to me then we have a talk.

Edit : Loyalty or not, companies do need consumer's criticism.

[Movefasta1993]

Just because he criticisez Sony doesn't mean he hates them...

[JoeDG]

Please stop to be a sheep... we all pay money for the products. U don't have to accept all things u doesn't like to be loyal. From time to time it's better to address things u don't like. Only blind fanboys find every time excuses for the faults of the brands

[KwietStorm_BLM]

That is THE problem with the PlayStation community. The second you don't suck their toes, but give them the criticism they need as a corporation, you're looked at like some villain.

[Angeljuice]

@Bansai

At least they didn't delay their refresh console by a year.

[littlezizu]

Some crowd when they announce new game and no release date ppl complain and tell them reveal close to reveal, now they announced release date for most games in TGS yet ppl complain
Dangaronpa V3- January
kingdom hearts 2.8 - January
Nioh - Feb 9th
Persona 5 - February 14th
Nier: Automata - February 23rd
Horizon: Zero Dawn - February 28th
Hot spots golf - summer.

[Muzikguy]

Early 2017 is going to be insane!

[Tussin187]

And then the same people will complain if a game is rushed and comes out buddy and a mess. You can't win with these people.

There are more games coming out than most people ( well the ones with girlfriends, wives, kids, having hobbies outside, etc) have time to play. Even though I may want a game really bad that gets delayed, I'll find something else to occupy my time until it drops. But that would be asking too much.

[XanderZane]

Only games I care about is Ni-Oh and Horizon: Zero Dawn. It's Hot Shots Golf 7. No release date for HSG7 yet. Waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3.

[jznrpg]

Damn, I have to decide what to play first. Already have Persona Collectors and regular Horizon, but I want Danganronpa, Nier, and Nioh. I will et KH2.8 much later

[KiwiViper85]

Damn, and Microsoft gets shit for releasing games in the Holiday Quarter, but Sony blows its load in 1 month!!! Yay for Sony!!!

[Father__Merrin]

Lots and lots of to look forward to on ps4 as you've listed. Can't wait to get a ps4 back now

[ninsigma]

I looked at an overview of what was announced at tgs and yeah it was pretty disappointing. Pro was awesome news last week though.

[DragonDDark]

This is NOT TGS.

[ninsigma]

It was Sonys tgs stage conference was it not?? The tgs equivalent of say gamescon or e3.

[solideagle]

"lack of exclusives" hahaha this made me laugh...

["lack of exclusives" hahaha this made me laugh]

With PlayStation VR releasing and the sheer slow sales of HTC Vive & OculusRift...

Outside of Mobile VR and the PSVR keeping VR in momentum... Someone has to keep the Exclusives in VR games
Going as well..for PlayStation VR there is 50 Games for launch window and over 90 more releasing until the end of 2017..and people are saying Sony has no Exclusive Games?

Oh but..but..no real good exclusive games...

Just like the PS3 cycle and the gamer media who even made a meme out of it all

[How you Killed your Brand
Step 1, You make your console cost the most,
You Beat your chest and proudly Boast,
Despite no good exclusive games
You make a bunch of ridiculous claims]

So did Sony kill it's brand during the PS3 cycle..did it have no good exclusive games? Now this meme keeps croping up..when one must ask
Out of Nintendo & Sony and Microsoft who is the one out of the three that is not making ...well games ..I mean if you are making a game console.. What is your 1st party really working on?

Sony has yet to release Dream's still , Sony bends new game, than you have sucker punch working on a new game, Uncharted very own teams working on not only one new game..but more than one..than you just have GG working to release their new games soon . now you still have PP working on GT releasing , and still working on their next game. That does not include the freaking japanese studios that are also making their games..top it off VR and all the Studios make games there..GG is not only making Horizon ...but GG also made A Multiplayer VR shooter Mech games Rigs..

And the Meme of
[How you Killed your Brand
Step 1, You make your console cost the most,
You Beat your chest and proudly Boast,
Despite no good exclusive games
You make a bunch of ridiculous claims]

Now continued for this generation , even though Sony has brought 960+ games already in under a full three years..the ps4 has only been on the market for a total of less than 3 years!

It's 3rd birthday is in Nov...since it was launched! Yet there is now over 960+ freaking games...already released for the system.

Microsoft's only has way less than that , we are talking in the 700's while Sony will be going over 1200 by the end of next year!

And Nintendo has been pushing out a lot of games..quite a bit

850 just in US alone..

[S2Killinit]

@ratchet
Whats wrong with you man? It gets annoying. Making stupid misinformed comments all the time.

[MegaMohsi]

People are so hypocritical it's hilarious. Delay a game? Bring the pitchforks. Release a game on time and it's broken on release? Bring the pitchforks, it should've been delayed. It's a no win situation.

[Kryptix]

Delays a game = complains
Game comes out early, but a mess = complains

And the "lack of exclusives" when out of PlayStation and Xbox, they literally have the most exclusives. Most likely goes with Nintendo in it, too.

Sure, Sony is making a few bad moves like the lack of mod support for Fallout 4 & Skyrim... I can see how disappointing that can be and bring you down... But when it comes to dishing out new IPs and exclusives, Sony got that. I wanna see more classics being made and for the past years, they had some notables and have more planned in the future.

[opinionated]

101 dislikes! Damn I'm jelly.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

They did announce new games though...lol

[phoenixwing]

there were a few new games announced it's just that N4G didn't have people submitting them. Go to dualshockers and you'll see a few of the game announcements that got ignored. They aren't megaton games for fanboy wars but a jrpg person would be glad to have them.

[MasterCornholio]

February is looking crazy.

O.O

[Muzikguy]

Yeah it is. Sort of like it was in 2016. I like this though since money around the holidays is already tight

[DigitalRaptor]

HOLY MOTHER....

Persona 5,
NieR: Automata,
Horizon Zero Dawn,
NiOh.
In the same month.
Even if they decide to delay one of those, it's still tight.

This year has already been CRAZY good for the PS4.
With PSVR & its games, TLG, World of FF and Gravity Rush 2 still to come this year.
It's nothing but unrelenting exclusive releases on PS4 these days.
Best console of this generation for games without a doubt.

[DarXyde]

My reaction to February. I'm kind of not kidding.

https://youtu.be/70utG1L5bf...

[KiwiViper85]

Are you serious?

[DigitalRaptor]

@ KiwiViper85

What is there not to be serious about?

Even with game delays (that other companies also experience), Sony has had the best and beefiest lineup of 2016 on consoles, and next year is looking to be the same.

PS4 has more exclusives in that one month than Xbox and Wii U console owners would be lucky enough to get all year.

[Servbot41]

Don't worry, over half of those will get delayed as usual.

[Gamesgbkiller]

Don't worry, most of them will get delay. Mark my words!

[Don't worry, most of them will get delay. Mark my words!]

Well why you are most likely correct , you actually have to have Games to delay ...to well delay them..it sure beats not having very many games even to be offered.

[P_Bomb]

Feb 9th 2017?? That's like 5 months away!

I woulda bet money on it coming out this year after the tight beta, the community manager saying "2016" just the other month on PS Blog, and two high profile delays emptying out Oct/Nov. So disappointed right now.

Yakuza 0 is late Jan '17 and those take me like 60-80hrs. Nioh is gonna be a time sink too, so to go from Yakuza right into Nioh 2 weeks later straight into Horizon 3 weeks after that...it's too much. I'm bumpin' somethin'

[rocketpanda]

Rather a polished game than a half arsed buggy mess. February isn't that far away. I was also hoping for a 2016 release but early 2017 seems ok.

[GrubsterBeater]

I agree. I AM disappointed that I don't get to play NiOh this year, but February isn't too bad, and I know they will only make it a better game.

[starchild]

Yeah, I was really looking forward to this game releasing in 2016. It's one of my most anticipated.

[SweatyFlorida]

Shame it's so late, and shame it comes out on perhaps the biggest month of next year (in terms of Playstation). I thought the amount of content they put out on the beta would mean a shorter release date, oh well, still hyped! New gameplay trailer would be nice to see out of tgs.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

I mean I would argue that February is the biggest month partially becuse of this. 4 very different killer apps in one month.

[-Foxtrot]

Why are the releasing it the same month as so many other PS4 games

They are going to delay one you know this...right

[Relientk77]

There is no way they can release all 4 in one month

Edit @ below: yeah I like the one game per month thing, that's what I'd do

[-Foxtrot]

They should be one after the other

February
March
April
May

[ninsigma]

I can definitely see some delays from that month. It's way too packed.

[UCForce]

I think Horizon Zero Down going to be lock down on Feb. Nioh is probably get delay.

[Tobsesan]

Dont worry, half those games get delayed again. Horizon will Slip 100%

[Sparta07]

Is that a bad thing? Haven't we learn from recore, QB, nms? I'll have a delayed game over a rushed bad game

[GrubsterBeater]

At least we are getting games on PS. Go enjoy that masterpiece Recore.

[Tobsesan]

Kidding you guys not, have played recore for 2hours now and had 0 Bugs. The Framerate is all over the place, but the game itself seems pretty good. Nowhere near a 60, more like a 75 Game. But hey, if it was a PS4 game, probably ended at 81. But really can't judge it from just 2h playing, have to wait for a complete playthrough.

I had more bugs in playing uncharted 4 for the first time, noone talked about that one. NMS gets a pass even though the game crashes your whole ps4, ye its fine its a sony game.

[Bjorn-c-blocker]

Financial year ends in March. Games need to ship by February or the companies will take major hits.. so expect some terrible Quality control and Just "Ship Ship SHIP NOW WE NEED THE MONEY!"

[Movefasta1993]

I want those jap games to sell ,i think it will be best to delay horizon

[P_Bomb]

Horizon is their heavy hitter and has already been delayed. It's set to do some business. If the suits are smart, someone'll move. They're all cannibalising each other atm.

Bump the middle two to March, or bump Horizon to the end of March with one of those last second "we need just a bit more time to make it teh bestest in the westest" tweets they should be pro's at by now.

[Movefasta1993]

Just spread them out between Feb and may

[leoms]

Horizon in March will be bad for my wallet since Andromeda will release in March.

[Good-Smurf]

All these PS4 Pro articles (also clickbait ones) flooded the site to the point that I forgot about the TGS 2016 livestream,Now I missed the conference.
Damn you whoever approved all those "terrible" articles and opinion pieces.
By the way this is good news,two exclusives released within week or two!

[Domoleary]

We have handily embeded the conference vid in our article at pureplaystation if you want to check it out: http://pureplaystation.com/...
Fair warning though the audio is a translation and way out of sync!
I want 2017, now!

[opinionated]

Nooooooooooooooooo! *falls to knees*

[PlayableGamez-]

Well Nioh is a pass for me...
Horizon Zero Dawn and Persona 5 come out for me that same month... Those are way too many RPGs for me... I already heard P5 takes about 80 hours to beat...

[DivineAssault]

Hell yes! 4 exclusive games in February alone..

[opinionated]

Why hell yes lol? This is terrible. Stacked up against horizon and whatnot nioh won't get nearly the sales it deserves. If they need the months to finish development I could understand but it's disappointing nonetheless. I was hyped to play nioh this year 😔 If I could pick one game this would be it, it would have made a killing in October.

[DivineAssault]

idk about you but i intend to purchase them all.. I agree that them releasing the same month will hurt sales projections but thats their job, not mine.. Mine is to play the games i want to buy and who knows? They might not all end up good

[Germany7]

Nier is not exclusive and that's a great thing, Platinum nowadays is garbage.

[opinionated]

@divine
Understandable. I'm a "bigger picture" guy, I'm always 3 steps ahead. That's just the way my brain works I can't help it lol. I don't want to see another great game like dragons dogma get shelved because of crappy marketing or a dumb release window. I intend to buy both nioh and horizon but it's not about you and me. We're 240 dollars lol.

[sullynathan]

Delayed but I had a positive reaction from the beta, now if only it wasn't locked behind an online wall.

The combat is really good.

[slappy508]

Dang nab it I was hoping it would release this year. All the good shit coming out in large bursts in a short space of time
Dec: Final fantasy/Last Guardian/KH2.8/Gravity Rush 2
Feb: NiOh/Persona/Horizon/Nier 2

[DigitalRaptor]

KH2.8 has been delayed to January.
Yakuza 6 comes out December in Japan.
Yakuza 0 and Resident Evil 7 January. February is Nuts!

An insane amount of content in such have a short space of time.

[slappy508]

It's nice that we get releases like this throughout the year. January is usually quiet and then a busy February nice to have stuff I want in January too. Looking forward to Yakuza had no idea it was releasing in January

[tulholdren]

Sweet so much PlayStation exclusives to play. Going to be rough on my time and my wallet oh well love what Sony bring to the table.

[KiwiViper85]

The best thing is you've got plenty of time to save up some money, cause there's fuck all for you this year...

[tulholdren]

I'm sorry you must of thought I had some other system. I got a PlayStation been playing exclusives all year and the rest of the year it will not change.

[game4funz]

Surprising date. Don't many many other games release around that time?

[PFFT]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!!!!! This was the only PS4 title i was really looking forward too.

[Moe-Gunz]

I'm getting it day 1. February is going to be a wallet killer.

[mochachino]

Geralt is doing a cameo?

[MilkMan]

Keep working on it, make it sparkle.
I like what I see so far.

[EnigmaSG1]

Day One! I have not been this excited for a Samurai game since Bushido Blade, then Onimusha, after that Way of the Warrior... but this, this game was fantastic in Beta. The atmosphere, art design, grounded weaponry/armor, Ninja Gaiden meets Souls gameplay, music composition/presentation, historical folklore, 60fps... it was delivering on all fronts. Polish this beautiful gem.

[CodeNameTBW2]

will it have english dub

[TacticAce]

Witcher?

[Vithar]

sweet can't wait for this :)
