Gears of War 2, Lips, and Banjo-Kazooie are out the door and Halo Wars won't be coming until March. So, what will Microsoft bring to Xbox 360 owners between now and Halo Wars?
Maybe Ninja Blade.
From Software will have their "dramatic action game" ready for Japan on January 29. Microsoft will be publish it in other regions sort of like how they handled Tenchu Z and Project Sylpheed. An official date has not been announced, but Gamestop says Ninja Blade will be in stores on February 3. While this is just a retail rumor it's plausible since February 3 is a few days after Ninja Blade launches in Japan.
Ninja Blade is an entirely different beast from Ninja Gaiden. Unfortunately, the two games sound a little too much alike. Ninja Gaiden is known for its brutal difficulty and in the future Ninja Blade will be remembered for its sluggish enemies, mutant spiders, and quick time events.
Ninja Blade is From Software’s best ninja game of all time, including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. At least it’s the best version of a specific type of ninja game.
Well aren't you cool? Taking a game that was pretty much universally acclaimed and then saying that one that received mediocre to bad reviews across the board is better... There's always one "hipster" out there with a contrarian opinion.
I don’t remember much of it but wasn’t it a QTE heavy game like Asura’s Wrath and GOW3?
FromSoftware is a game developer that has found popularity in the gaming industry thanks to their widely popular and best-selling series, Dark Souls. They may have gained notoriety from this series, but they have been around since 1986 with their first video game published in 1994 and have produced many popular games. Here are 5 games they have made that are not Dark Souls.
The Adventures of Cookie and Cream (Or Kuri Kuri Mix as is known in PAL territories) is actually a pretty good game, and gets damn hard in the latter stages.
I'd love to see FromSoft make King's Field 5, or maybe another Armoured Core. I love the Souls games, but I don't want to see it milked for all its worth.
Didn't they also make the 3D Dot Game Heroes (or something like that).
I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3
Armored Core series producer left From Software.
My guess is the company shifted all focus to Souls series... :(
RIP Armored Core....
"In Mortal Kombat X, Most of the cut scene fights are just there for you to watch, then every once in a while unannounced, the game goes to a quick time event." -Play Legit
Play Heavy Rain and the walking dead series then see if that question is even worth asking.
Yes, yes they should. They've always been an excuse to escalate drama through lazy button prompts than any game design.
awesome i'm looking forward to this game i hope after they done making this game they should consider making otogi 3
this game looks amamzing and plays amamzing
I'm so tired of ninja-themed button-mashers. :\
just like Ninja gaiden 2
whats worse is that FROM SOFTWARE is making the game
I have never seen FS make a good game
The game play of ninja blade is lame as hell
That's a cruel way to end the article.
"Ninja Blade will be know for it sluggish enemies."
I think it looks interesting, but I don't think it will become a franchise, from what they've shown it just doesn't have that franchise fell to it, but I guess we'll see in Feb.
Feb. is going to be packed. Street Fighter 4, Killzone 2, Ninja Blade, Splinter Cell (rumored, but I doubt it), F.E.A.R. 2.
