Jim Sterling- I want a Nioh and I want one now!
Nioh got attention for its similarities to other titles, but it deserves to be remembered as its own special game, one that sees and raises the efforts presented by its inspirations.
Team Ninja: "The Nioh franchise has sold over 6 million copies worldwide now!"
At 6 million NiOh is on the cusp of nearly outselling Ninja Gaiden’s 6.8 million with just only 2 titles under its belt
This could mean Team Ninja may see no reason to return to producing new NG games
they deserve this, Nioh is a amazing game. Hopefully they will expand and make a more ambitious game and have even more sales.
With PlayStation Now’s May lineup, you can try to survive unrelenting yokai in feudal Japan, rub shoulders with manga icons, and battle your way across an entire city. Starting tomorrow, May 4, Nioh, Jump Force and Streets of Rage 4 will be available to play on your PS5 or PS4 console.
Ohh I always wanted to try Jump Force. Can get back on my fantasy of being Goku :)
Nioh was given out on PS Plus around a year ago (most people who have PS Now also have PS Plus) and Jump Force is not particularly good. There's a big gap in quality between PS Plus and PS Now.
Total worldwide shipments and digital sales for Nioh 2 have surpassed two million units, and total shipments for the Nioh series have surpassed five million units, publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Team Ninja announced.
I'm so happy to hear that because that means they will continue developing amazing games like that.
Nioh is such a great game. I love the series.
So happy for Team Ninja, cant wait to dive into this game!
HOLY SHIT!!
Wow. Nioh is an 87 on Metacritic on 23 reviews. The Jimquisition is a traditionally harsh reviewer so to get a 10/10 is remarkable. Nioh appears to be the truth.
What makes me even more excited for Nioh is how Team Ninja utilized the impressive capabilities of PS4 Pro to give us a myriad of resolution and framerate options including native 4K and 60fps. PS4 is cementing its legacy this year with an incredible lineup of software.
Based on and judging by the demo, though the devs did admit that their game is directly inspired by From Software's Souls series, Nioh just oozes with identity and individuality. I can't wait to get this game next week!
Dammit! 5 days! FFFFFIVE DAYS! I hate having to wait 5 long days to play this game!
