Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi says that the recent revival of the fighting genre is great, but things haven't changed much.
"To be completely honest, after Dead or Alive 4 we weren't sure what the future was going to be. We were trying to think of something new, but we weren't getting any ideas of what to do for 5," he told Siliconera candidly.
Saad from eXputer: "Team Ninja's stories may not appeal to everyone due to their barebones nature but they deserve credit for being fun."
Exputer dude says Team Ninja needs more credit for their stories (what their known for) and credit for being fun (also known for challenging and fun gameplay). Team Ninja gets a LOT of credit. That's why they keep making games. You just can't expect everyone to award them the attention-level and regard that you think they deserve.
"I’m aware that some things are often not for everyone. Not because someone is actively gatekeeping but due to the product or premise failing to appeal to the masses" - Hmmm l dunno, sounds kinda like we are about to go for a cruise down gatekeeper blvd to me.
Takeaway, Exputer as a pimple gaming journal site that should not be concerned about the recognition standards of a studio they have zero involvement in. You perspective is outsider and totally disconnected from reality as far as how the industry sees them.
Takeaway 2, Exputer is only in about a generation deep into Team Ninja. Posers. Take your gate keepy BS and shove it. We know what makes team ninja great and they are doing just fine doing what THEY do.
Every branch under Koei Tecmo is talented I am a big fan of theirs no matter what the game is or who makes it.
I thought Nioh 1+2's stories were fine, nothing amazing but they kept me interested. William and the Protag in 2 were pretty cool. Wo Long was ok I guess but it just felt like another retelling of the three kingdoms again which we've seen told so much in video games and especially dynasty warriors.
Where is a new DEAD OR ALIVE !!!!
That is the only game we care about from Team Ninja 😂
Rise of the Ronin's difficulty options include Narrative, Intermediate and Hard. As the name suggests, Narrative mode is for players who just want to experience the story without any serious combat. Intermediate is your standard medium difficulty that will provide some challenge while Hard is in line with Team Ninja's previous games like Nioh and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
The Nioh team’s next samurai tale launches on March 22 as a PS5 exclusive
The visuals seem somewhat unpolished and looks like from a last gen game. I wouldn’t mind a delay.
Ghost of Tsushima did not have the best graphics quality compared to other PS exclusives but the beautiful art style made it stand out. This game just looks generic in comparison.
Gameplay on all games hasnt evolved much graphics just get better otherwise its the same stuff over and over.
Team Ninja?
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, be quiet.
Let the grown ups talk. Most genres are doing nothing new but they are still, unlike you, relevant in gaming. Dead or Alive has been MIA since what feels like forever.
IMHO the Dead or Alive series is okay for shits and giggles and goggling at jiggly bouncing boobies. Other than that is was a nice little diversion to take break between the main players like Tekkens, Streetfighter, Soul Calibur, Virtua, MvsC, Mortal Kombat, etc...
For me the Dead or Alive was more like Bloody Roar level of fighting or at the very least after all the ones I listed above.
If anything they should be grateful that Capcom brought out SFIV because that is what appears to have given the fighting genre breath again. I wish more genres would make a come back and over take shooters and the lead genre. Shooters are really starting to get stale. They are so over saturated.
What I want as a fighting fan is for MS to wake the f*ck up and have Rare make a new Killer Instinct.
Well the fighting genre need a boost in terms of innovation. Is been ages since bushido blade and po
TBH...I actually wouldn't mind a new bloody roar with a set of both new & returning playable characters.Also thrown tag team modes with upto 3 vs 3,fully destructible & dynamic environments,full character customizations,tons of unlocks to earn more content ect...!
P.S..id buy it in a heart beat!
Cheers Gamers & Happy Gaming!
