An unmasked Ryu Hayabusa is teased in these 10 new images of Ninja Gaiden III.
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.
- 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
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.
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
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.
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.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
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."
For Tony Hawk's Pro Skater really the first 3 were really the only good ones. After that they sort of went downhill.
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.
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.
Looks like Jin Kazama... :O
everyone should know what he looks like if you played dead or alive just saying.
The woman isn't another Titzilla!!! FINALLY!!!
I like the fact you're fighting people, and not just fiends. That's one complaint scratched off.
A new game engine isn't likely, so I can give up on that one. The game looks good enough, but it's not groundbreaking like the first game was on the original Xbox.
Here's hoping for a decent story and plot that makes sense, along with interesting characters, better voice acting, better music, and better flow to dialog instead of all the awkward pauses between dialog (especially with the old man who sells weapons).
I still think the series needs a complete reboot after this game, and since Itagaki's gone this is the perfect chance for the rest of Team Ninja to show what they can do, now they're out of his shadow. While you're at it reboot Dead or Alive, the story and characters is that game are stale like 2 year old chips. Tweak the combat system, but more importantly work on developing the characters more, and give us an actual story rather than fragmented cut-scenes with few to no words at all.
This is your chance to shine, and be one of Japan's leading developers Team Ninja, don't screw it up.
What i don't like from NG III are:
1. QTE. NG don't need this feature!
2. Hayabusha weapon's are just...sword. Seriously, Hayabusha is a ninja master, and he mastered a lot of weapon besides sword! Also, that mades ninja gaiden more interesting than any other ninja / action games on the market.
3. Stealth kill. I mean, really? i loved ninja games like Tenchu who focused on stealth gameplay. But this is Ninja Gaiden we're talking about!
4. No tits :(
come on! as a gamer we need some "fresh moment" after we killed a lot of enemys and intense battle.
Besides that, i don't mind if they working for a better story than NG I or II.
