I am a die hard fan but ninja gaiden 3 sucked so make it more like 1 and 2 or not at all.

spicelicka2680d ago

Yes! Specially the physics of NG2, still my favourite hack n slash game.

Movefasta19932680d ago (Edited 2680d ago )

ng2 has great physics,the combos felt great to land.The 360 version was insane,the gore and the ultra aggressive enemies .Miss the game :(

thatguyhayat2680d ago

They dumbed it down soo much. But luckily these guys listen to fans so hopefully they learnt their lesson

blitz06232680d ago

I would totally buy a 1-2 HD remaster. Hell, throw in 3 there too

DarXyde2680d ago

Ninja Gaiden was always HD.

darthv722680d ago

You do know Ninja Gaiden Sigma was an HD remaster of Ninja Gaiden 1/Black right? you could say the same about NG Sigma 2 as it relates to NG2.

Gaming4Life19812680d ago

Agreed. I loved ninja gaiden 1 but ninja gaiden 2 is my favorite and i would do anything for a ninja gaiden 1 & 2 remaster.

They should have known better than to make Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. That didn't look or feel like a Ninja Gaiden game at all. They need to make another one like Ninja Gaiden Sigma that came out on PS3. That was good.

Seraphim2680d ago

Agreed. They never should have put the NG name on that product. While I see why they wanted to do something different they should have left the game sell on it's own merit, or lack thereof in this case. The idea was pretty good but the execution was poor. Furthermore they could have sold it as in the NG realm w/o calling it NG. At the end of the day it had absolutely no business having NG in it's name.

Anyway, while I have faith in the team I think they might not have the vision to recreate NG as we saw it in 1 and 2 nor are they sure how to improve upon it or where to go now. That was proof in 3 when Itagaki was out & it was up to the remainder of Team Ninja to create 3. In Ni-Oh, if successful I can see Team Ninja focusing on a sequel and not coming back to NG for some time. Which is a shame.

CrimsonWing692680d ago

or why don't you redeem yourself and make a seriously good ninja gaiden game instead of making fans wait.

Xb1ps42680d ago

Ninja gaiden... loved that game and remember those great moment on the Xbox.. I'm not much of a fan of remasters but I would buy a pro or Scorpio remaster of ninja gaiden day one...

Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible.

Rynxie1h ago

Unfortunately, their games aren't big sellers. Will MS shut them down if hellblade 2 sells below expectations?

"Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible."

Indeed.

Just a few hours to go

I can´t wait!

z2g4h ago

badass. already installed via gamepass. if its as great as the first one I will pay for the whole game.

glenn197930m ago

I just don't understand why all the down votes

jwillj2k44h ago

Here we go again. Is this a game or a choose your own adventure???

purple1014h ago

if you choose left, turn to page 39, if you proceed forward, turn to page 43, to turn right, page 209, you finished the book early,

no but seriously this looks like Microsofts first hit, or should I say, first game of standout quality.

jwillj2k43h ago

Never questioned the quality. Question is will there be a need for the controller.

Tedakin1h ago

If it's anything like the first game, you will spend a lot of timing walking and solving puzzles, with some fights thrown in.

Elda3h ago

LOL! Didn't send any shivers down my spine but I'll demo it after midnight tonight through Gamepass to see what it's giving.

Obscure_Observer1h ago

After the midnight? I see...

Day one as expected for another game that you said you had zero interest.

rlow13h ago

It looks amazing, I’m hoping the reviews are solid. You can tell the studio really poured their heart and soul into this one.

Didn’t a leak about a max Payne remake surface a while ago?

banger881d 2h ago

I hope it's Mafia 4. And I really hope it's set during the 70s or 80s, and not a prequel of the first game as was rumoured.

PrecursorOrb11h ago

Hoping for a Vegas mafia over here

DustMan6h ago

Now that would be a great setting.

TheColbertinator10h ago

Mafia 4 would be cool if set in a 70s to 80s era
