So ... Ryu's literally turned into a demon?

jjohan354808d ago

Let's just hope it's not going to be censored like Sigma 2.

galest4808d ago

He's killing fraggot Dante

WildArmed4808d ago

Why would a dragon want to be a demon?
Dragon > Demon

Have you not played the previous installments? silly xD

Graey4808d ago

HM...can't dragons be demons?

Or are you referring to a dragon being better than say a Lesser Demon...?

Or what about a Demon Dragon...I mean where is the line that separates the two..

For that Matter.....where is Legend of Dragoon II

WildArmed4808d ago

lol, first of all, I'd love for a Legend of Dragoon 2.

Dragon clans can't be a demon. By the virtue of the dragon sword, I pronounce Ryu Hyubasa a blood dragon (that I can deal w/)

Unless, you are a black spider thingy (sad face @ ending of NG2)

a demon dragon, is there such a thing? O_O
Wouldn't that be something.
Mind you, NG2 was pretty gorey, so this trailer doesn't lead me to believe that Ryu has changed.
Just more badass then ever

no_more_heroes4808d ago

@Graey

I've been asking Sony that for the past 8 years since I revisited it. Now THERE'S an underrated game for ya.

Blaze9294808d ago

This game is nothing without Itagaki. Doesn't help he took most of his senior staff with him either.

Arnon4808d ago

So far I'm going to have to agree with you there. I'm a little skeptical on this installment.

Hayabusa 1174808d ago

Yeah...but NG 2 was a let down. I just hope they don't tone down the brutality, but from the look of the trailer it seems there may be hope yet.

gamingdroid4808d ago

Personally loved NG2 as I still play it.

That said, I'm skeptical because of what Hayashi has done (i.e. nothing worth talking about)....

Doesn't help that the most important people of the old team is gone, so basically you got one guy that used to work with the original Team Ninja and a bunch of new members. It's called a NEW STUDIO!!!

lowcarb4808d ago

I'm going to give the guy a chance. As much as I loved Itagaki I still want the game to become more like the original. This guy might do something new to revive the game.

Mustang300C20124808d ago

@ Hayabusa 117

The PS3 version was toned down. THe 360 version was just as brutal. Not sure why they even bothered to tone it down just for the Sigma 2 version.

baodeus4808d ago

Well i do feel a bit skeptical of this one as well. It seems Ryu gonna take his time chopping his opponent (according to team ninja goal of trying to convey the idea of actually cutting a person), so i'm wondering, is the speed gonna still be the main focus of NG3?

Ninja Gaiden has always been about fluidity and lightning speed (bread and butter of this IP), so don't know how this gonna affect that.

Ninja Gaiden 3 will be the most brutal and most bloody Ninja Gaiden ever!
yeah! great!
Day 1 buy!!!!!

Balt 4808d ago

Yes, because we all know that the more blood the better the game play. Shut up. People like you are why gaming lost it's nostalgia and appeal.

StbI9904808d ago

God of war 3 hold that for you next to Gear of war 3...but god of war 3 would rape it anyway

badz1494808d ago

he said "most brutal and most bloody Ninja Gaiden ever!" - NINJA GAIDEN!

gamingdroid4808d ago

I loved the blood in NG2 and the lack of it in NGS2 was noticeable. However, that alone doesn't make it a great game. Plenty of games I play aren't violent or bloody at all.

That said, I'm not sure the next NG will be bloody considering what happened to NGS2....

HIV-4808d ago

"most brutal and most bloody Ninja Gaiden ever!"

And....

Unfortunately it will definitely be banned in few countries such as Australia.

Hopefully we'll have R18 before this game is released.

NG3 has to come hard and blow us out of the water because rumors has it that MGS Rising is set to take over the Ninja Hack and Slash genre.

ThanatosDMC4808d ago

I hope there's co-op on this one too and hopefully harder than Sigma 2.

RedPawn4808d ago

Could be the return of Clancy?

clover0074808d ago (Edited 4808d ago )

First person view kill like in God Of War 3. Can not wait. :)

Also this might not be Ryu but I wish he turns into a demon creature thingy. Would be awesome.

otherZinc4808d ago

Let me know when Tomonobu Itagaki & I'll buy day 1.

If he isn't back, I'll wait till it drops to $19.99.

You missed is back in first sentence. Confusing otherwise....I still think they can pull it off. We'll see at E3

No, no
He obviously killed ME.

BrunoM4808d ago (Edited 4808d ago )

Naw naw naw you guys are getting it all wrong

He killed ME

Lol

NYC_Gamer4808d ago

i hope they keep this game true to the franchise and not make it casual

limewax4808d ago

They wont, NG2 was around in the days of casual games, It loved to kill you

SuperLupe4808d ago

They sure know how to tease.

Relientk774808d ago

Not enough blood

/sarcasm

So is this gonna release on the 360 first than go to PS3 like the others, or will they have a simultaneous release

NukaCola4808d ago

Since Itagaki is not on this anymore, I think it'll release on both, but I still think there will be a Sigma III.

BrunoM4808d ago

Lol I'd say it's going to be out on both at the same time .. Special after tge other producer ( forgot his name now ) left and the release beff up signa2 on ps3 ..

But in MY case il get it on ps3 that's my MAIN console I get Multy plat games use 360 more for only on games ...

And on a side note he'll freaking yeah love the first two was waiting for these I miss old good games (shinobi street of rage old school contra sonic ) that's why I love these types of games ..

Redempteur4808d ago

damn it ..i need a blood infusion now ..

AhmadCentral4808d ago

Well since Tecmo and Koei have merged, all major games developed in Japan by the company have been PS3 Exclusive in Japan but multiplatform outside Japan. Same will probably happen here.

What a New Ninja Gaiden Game Needs to Fix

Screen Rant Writes: Team Ninja knows fans want a new Ninja Gaiden game, but if Ryu Hayabusa is going to come back, there are some things that the series needs to fix.

Melankolis1534d ago

- Better story, not that it has to be very deep though
- Better level design, on par or even exceed NG1
- Better enemies design, NG3's enemies design were boring and repetitive

TheRealHeisenberg1534d ago

Agreed and bring back the dodge roll. The dash was trash.

Melankolis1534d ago

Yep. I also prefer dodge roll than dash.

NapalmSanctuary1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

I'd say just re-add the dodge roll and have both but with different properties. As long as they made both tactically useful in their own ways, it could be really interesting.

Godmars2901534d ago

- No NG has had a good or deep story. Its best has only been about action and enemies.
- Likewise, level design was stages where you fought enemies, which said shallow story connected.
- NG3 utterly forgot that enemies where either trained and highly skilled psychotic killers, or literal demons who'd crack a baby's skull open for fun.

At this point Nioh and Shadows Die Twice have taken NG spot.

TheRealHeisenberg1534d ago

NG Black beats them both. Agree that NG3 was trash. Nioh and Shadows can occupy the spot until NG makes a triumphant return.

NapalmSanctuary1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

I take it you never played NG3: Razor's Edge. That game fixed the lack of difficulty. Maybe a little too well with how unfair some of the enemies and bosses were. Still not on par with the previous 2 games but miles ahead of the original NG3 release and well worth playing.

And whats this shit about story. Few action games come close to being on the same level of quality as NG 1&2 and having "good or deep story" didn't get them any closer to it. "Its best" sets it apart and far ahead of almost any other game in the genre except for DMC 3-5 and the Bayonetta series. NG 1&2, along with other games like Doom, prove how little story matters when you get the important aspect of a game (gameplay) right.

Not that Sekiro isn't a great game. The only thing that keeps it from standing shoulder to shoulder with NG 1&2 is its lack of weapon variety and its frame rate issues.

NapalmSanctuary1534d ago

I definitely prefer the Zelda-esque game progression. NG2 was still a great game though.

CorndogBurglar1534d ago

Don't give Ryu some crazy weakness that interrupts literally anything he is doing in order to do some BS animation of him wincing in pain! That garbage ruined NG3

AK911534d ago

Bring back the difficulty of the first game both 3 and Yaiba (yes I played that POS game) had laughably easy difficulty that it wasn't even funny.

Thundercat771534d ago

With games like NiOh, I don't miss ninja Gaiden at all.

NapalmSanctuary1534d ago

Completely different sub-genres, dude.

CorndogBurglar1534d ago

Nioh was totally different than Ninja Gaiden...

Hungryalpaca1534d ago

Might as well say “wish games like Forza I don’t miss Mario kart”

Asuka1534d ago

Bring back the difficulty.

NapalmSanctuary1534d ago

I want a Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2 remaster for all consoles/PC. Complete with peak difficulties intact and maybe some new weapons and outfits. The problem with the Sigma series was that 1) they removed most of the puzzle elements 2) they nerfed the difficulty and 3) they seriously reduced the number of enemies on screen at a time in many places.

They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.

micdagoat191588d ago

been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.

Domestupidname1588d ago

I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.

Fatality: Games That Killed Their Franchises (Or At Least Put Them On A Long Hiatus)

Phil writes, "Sometimes all it takes is one game to make a long-running or promising franchise become dead in the water, maligned to irrelevancy and just a memory in the annals of gaming history. It's a dog-eat-dog industry where it doesn't matter if the franchise has been around for ages or for milliseconds--just one or two failures and you're done. That's the case with these franchises, all of which I'm sad to see are currently nowhere to be found. Whether any of these will return for a kick-ass comeback or not is up in the air, but what is known is that for many, these franchises met truly unfortunate ends."

PiNkFaIrYbOi2122d ago

For Tony Hawk's Pro Skater really the first 3 were really the only good ones. After that they sort of went downhill.

Skull5212122d ago

Biggest shame I think is SOCOM. Easily Sony’s best franchise by a long shot and they just let it die.

BlackIceJoe2122d ago

I was going to say SOCOM too. That was one of the best strategy games on the market and then Sony turned it Into a normal shooter.

Dabigsiebowski2121d ago

I thought Underground was pretty good

Segata2122d ago

Klonoa was great but released at a bad time on just 1 system with no marketing. Razors Edge fixed many issues with NG3 vanilla and is a guilty pleasure. Another one that killed a franchise is Lost Planet 3. The better game was Japan only in EX Troopers on PS3. I also would say Marvel vs Capcom Infinite killed the series. I know it's less than a year old but the writing is on the wall. Silent Hill series as soon as Konami gave it to western devs and also made mobile spinoffs.

CorndogBurglar2121d ago (Edited 2121d ago )

With all the licensing effort it takes to make an MvC game you are probably right.

Which sucks because people love MvC. Bad decisions were made with the last one, that's all. But I guarantee if they made a new MvC and put a good roster in with 3 man teams and no easy mode combos then people would go right back to it.

Unfortunately, most companies won't be willing to make another sequel as soon as the latest title flops. Even though MvC Infinite wouldn't have flopped if they had just made different decisions.

81BX2122d ago

Nice try buddy. Then why have they made 1,000,000,000,000,000. Games? Cod has never gotten it wrong...over and over and over.

FPS_D3TH2122d ago

Never gotten it wrong? I guess in terms of how to get kids to steal money out of parents wallets. It’s done plenty wrong lol

81BX2121d ago

Lol. Little money grabbers! I remember when paying for map packs was a big deal. Now we have to pay for everything. This is crazy

REDGUM2121d ago

It's all well and good saying COD sells well, which I don't deny, but that doesn't make it a good game. It merely means people want more of the same,game play, as you put it, over and over and over!

If it's so good, why are more people playing Battlefield 4 over the more current COD releases!

People impulse buy i recon, pre order a game before it's been shown to the public then just stick with it when it releases hoping for change!

I Find COD games much of the same with every release which is why I'd call id a dying franchise.
These kids will grow up soon and realise there's more out there than just corridor shooting games.

It's just an opinion afterall.

DialgaMarine2122d ago (Edited 2122d ago )

When has CoD died or gone on hiatus though? You may not like them, but tens of millions of people do, and buy it every year. People seriously need to shut up and leave that franchise alone. It’s not hurting anyone, and the whining is seriously getting old.

T2X2122d ago

I know right? Those games are always fun. At least IMO. The fun varies a bit depending on the location and theme, but overall, always pretty damn good.

81BX2121d ago (Edited 2121d ago )

Youre 100% wrong. They need to be called out just like every other company. That's why they returned to boots on ground. You let them treat you however they like... some of us chose to be treated how we like

DialgaMarine2121d ago

You say that as if I’m an avid CoD player. I don’t mind the series, but it’s definitely not my favorite. The bitching, however, was old back in 2010. 99% of people that do it only do so because they see others doing it. You don’t like CoD? Play something else. It’s not supposed to cater to fans of other franchises.

MWH2122d ago

I love Klonoa, there's always hope for a new game.

Pickledpepper2122d ago

I loved the dead space 1+2 hated 3. Played through them so many times but found number 3 such a bore to get through, really hope they pick this back up.

PowerOfTheCloud2122d ago (Edited 2122d ago )

Dead space 1 is imo unrivaled when it comes to horror games and part 2 was already kind of a let down by still good. I didn't even play part 3 because i didn't like the direction that game went.

Wish they will reboot dead space one day .

Pickledpepper2122d ago

I totally agree with you on that, dead space 1 was the pinnacle of survival horror and dead space 2 was still a great game, I have all achievements for 1 and 2 and both games still hold up well against modern games, 3 was a complete let down I did finish it just for satisfaction but had no fun from the game at all, found it very boring to say the least.

CorndogBurglar2121d ago

For me, the only reason Dead Space 2 wasn't as good as the original is because it wasn't new anymore. But when you think about it, DS2 was still just as good of a horror game. DS1 was so good because everything you came across was new and terrifying.

I remember the feeling the first time I played DS1. No other game, before or since, has given me that feeling that something is going to jump out and attack with every footstep you took. Talk about great atmosphere and tension!

REDGUM2121d ago

and the Resistance games franchise!

Fist4achin2122d ago

Agreed, plus I didn't care for what they did to the weapons crafting system.
