A rapidly evolving games industry has made 2008's Ninja Gaiden II "outdated", according to Ninja Gaiden 3 producer Yosuke Hayashi.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com via a translator at a London press event earlier today, Hayashi discussed how the team took criticisms of Ninja Gaiden II on board for the upcoming Ninja Gaiden 3.
"The good things we want to improve more and bad things we want to change," he said. "Most of all, basically, for the previous series - Ninja Gaiden II is already outdated, I feel. That's why, as you see, the industry evolution for game creation and game development already has been changed and paradigm shifted.
It's game time!, or is it hacking and slashing time? Doesn't matter! Enjoy the best hack and slash games on the Xbox 360
Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.
I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 debuted in 2009; ahead of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's launch, it's time to look back at one of Tecmo Koei's best titles.
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty coming soon, it's time to look back at the developer's greatest triumphs...and one oddball favorite.
NG2 was by far the worst NG game
NGS2 was 10x better
i hope they back the blood/gore and challenge
I hope NG3 comes out this year, im a huge fan of the game.
I didn't enjoy NG2 or NGS2(played both) very much, it felt more like a chore than fun and this is from someone who thoroughly enjoyed NG1 on the original Xbox and Sigma on PS3(yes same game basically). I mean that game was very technical and actually had some challenge, NG2 was just flashy with cheap deaths and bad camera.
Don't care what people say NG1 AND 2 are one of the best action/hack and slash games to ever come out on current consoles.
NG 2
NGS 1 and 2,
DMC 4
Bayonetta
GOW 3
....These are the only action games I think are actually good on current consoles.
