So what do we think about the IGN preview?

>>712542609 (OP)
I think its ok

>>712542609 (OP)
I hate the fucking enemy designs.
they look like toys.

>>712542609 (OP)
I will play it but I hate ign and refuse to watch anything by them

>>712543360
Good call. That review is a massive faggot. he was really cringe to listen to.

>>712542609 (OP)
oh no no no no

>>712542609 (OP)
You know what, this shit was supposed to be Astral Chains 2, but they changed it to NG4 after some shitty agreement with TN.

>>712543534
Did you get triggered when he said Ninja Gaiden Black is the GOAT in the genre, dear NG2 faggotschizo?

>>712544503
forced walking + the walking animation is shit.
I'm not seeing any fucking essence in this game either.

>>712544675
"he" walks like he just got fuced in the ass, what a fucking shit character.

>>712544590
he's a cheeseball faggot who reads the script like he's voicing a nintendo comercial.
>Be sure to check it out when it 'izuna drops'.. in stores hue hue
kill this faggot nigger.

>>712542609 (OP)
It looks more like a ninja gaiden game then I was expecting when I heard platinum was involved.
But I still don't like the sci-fi setting.
NG has always had hints of sci-fi but going full cyberpunk really kills the vibe.

Still keeping my deluxe edition pre-order but after rewatching the footage a few times some things I've noticed are worrysome and questionable.
>>712544675
Blind subhuman, essence has been confirmed since the first trailer. Slit your throat.

>>712542609 (OP)
>too much rain

>>712542609 (OP)
Which From Software game is team shitja copying this time?

>>712545052
well this character doesn't have it dipshit.
and ryu is confirmed to be barely in the fucking game. so this shit is ass.

>>712544503
looks like he's limping but also like he's taking tiny steps on purpose
not a natural stride at all

>>712544503

Oh hell naw.

Here I fixed your faggot link for you retard let's see what it is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owke926s01s

Will Ninja Gaiden 4 sell enough to destroy the Soulslike genre?

>>712545707
That's blood essence. you can't spend it.

>>712545765
Souls is GTA at this point. It's his own brand and can't be killed or replaced.

>"does ninja gaiden still work in 2025 in a world where souls-likes dominate the high skill action game subgenre

>>712544503

oh shit DMCRyan is still around reviewed this? that guy is unironically a Ninja Gaiden fan as much as our local schizo.
>watches
Looks like Ninja Gaiden to me. Why the fuck were you niggers complaining? Only think I don't like is the hud

>>712547615
lol

>>712548462
What's good schizoman. New footage! What you plotting nigger?

>>712544503
Not sure what the problem is, looks great and it's not UE5

post the doomer webms from this video

>>712548712
You have to be angry when I tell you to be angry

>>712545765
99% NG4 will flop. Unfortunate cause I'd love for it to succeed and inspire more devs to make more games like it

>>712548712
Well, yakumo look like a faggot and they want to replace Ryu with this fag.

>>712548712
the boy is shaking his ass too sexily

>>712549297
Yeah, NG should STAY as a bondage leather muscle daddy series.

>>712549468
Well, he looks fucking cool and is surrounded by hot women.
Yakhomo just look like a faggot and there's no hot women in sight, just shit looking anime rejects.

>>712547615
>Why the fuck were you niggers complaining?
vedditors hate when it's not 1:1 to their favorite game (every ng is super different from each other btw) and nitpicks like "OMG YOU HAVE A STEALTH KILL OPTION, ITS NOT A REAL VIDEO GAME!!!!!!"
the only valid complaint is that Ryu might have only one weapon, but that's not confirmed so far

Look at this fucking character design, Kingdom Hearts looking faggot.

>>712549964
Ryu always looked like a faggot tho

>>712550098
Dilate.
Also, fire this cunt, she is responsible for making yakhomo such a shitty looking faggot character.

wtf is that

>>712542609 (OP)
"does Nija Gaiden still work in 2025". People who talk like this make me homicidal.

lol
Looks like a character from pokemon, looks like he's going to throw pokeballs

>>712544503
what is this retarded environment

>>712545765
its on game pass, its not gonna sell its gonna have "record players"

>>712550442
did they let a 12 year old design this faggo shit?

>>712550593
There is nothing in this that tells me that it's a NG game.
Looks more like Astral Chains.

>>712550098
you're tripping

him and master chief were literally designed to be the epitome of "cool"

>>712550703
I think a 12 year old would make cooler stuff, this is worse, it's a woman, a fucking cunt who must be a fan of kpop or some shit like that.

>>712550229
what's wrong with bishonen characters?
>>712550776
Ryu is too much of a tryhard to be cool. He just ends up looking like a tryhard fag.

>>712550442
Should've made a Hayate Ninja Gaiden instead.

>>712549957
>(every ng is super different from each other btw
Exactly. I don't know why the fuck NGfags are like this when every game is different
>Ryu might have only one weapon,
I highly doubt that. Why the fuck would they give one character multiple weapons and the other a single weapon? Like, you think they're not talking about something like that at the round table? no way they would do that. Ryu isn't DLC or a side character. They're still more time to showcase the game before release. We have only gotten 2 trailers so far and I expect one last mega trailer before release showcasing Ryu more. Right now the focus is on the new character

>THE GAME IS SHIT BECAUSE THE GUY HAS GRAY HAIR
I thought you were supposed to be a hardcore action game fan?

>>712550919
its just a leather jumpsuit, a katana and a head crest with some kunai i literally cosplayed him

>>712550960
Totally agreed.

>>712550776
ryu looks like an absolute fag in his leather jabroni outfit, it got better in 3 but it's still not a great design

Gotta go fast!
But not too fast!

>>712551192
Ok, and what do you think of yakhomo then?
If Ryu look like a fag, then yakhomo look like a transexual then?

>link
nice shilling
kys

>>712551192
name good character design then if ryu is bad character design

Here's you're new protag, bro.

Looks kinda fun. If they don't drop a demo it means they have no balls and know this game is a loser.
Ragebound's demo was better than I'd anticipated.

>>712551502
Ryu's classic outfit in ng1

>>712551781
It's on gamepass.

>>712542609 (OP)
As someone who has never played a NG game before but has played MGR, I'm pretty excited for this.

>>712552295
you are the target demographic, like me

>>712550339
Tokyo Ghoul I think

Man the twitter and discord crew are SEETHING.

>>712551612
Bro looks like the kind of dude who would flip into a room uninvited just to talk about "his path to vengeance" and then get folded by the first mid-boss. Definitely getting that edgy reboot energy.

>>712552104
another zesty looking faggot, probably yagayhomo's buttbuddy

you don't need to mention your gay fetish every time someone makes a ninja gaiden thread

>>712542609 (OP)
seriously is there something i'm missing?
enemies are way more aggressive, has hyper armor, keeps blocking my attacks
i dont remember having this much problem when playing ngb/ng2
also there's way too ton of combos

>>712542609 (OP)
Will this game run on my 1060 6gb?

>>712549957
>every ng is super different from each other btw

you dumb niggers all say this shit, yet from the moment you get to control Ryu in front of muramasa's shop in NG2, the transition from NGB is FLAWLESS. it feels like you're controlling the same character, evolved, and the enemies around you are going apeshit as well. NG4 will be nothing like this.

>>712545052
I was very confused about the changes made to control scheme because the journo said that countering is now done with the timed RT press (3:34) which made zero sense because RT is a stance swap that modifies your attacks, jump AND the block and the latter is still done with LT, same as dodging, the prompts confirm it at 5:16, thanks god. The counter-attack is called "Perfect Block" if the TN's YT short is to be trusted so it is 99.9% bound to LT as well and the journo is just a moron which is a relief. The modified block (RT+LT) is probably used against red attacks.

The [BAD NEWS] is that UT spam might be back.
https://youtu.be/LypituWx0hY?si=bQ9Rdhfz2miIPdyv&t=409
The clip starts with a UT kill and later on you can see essence near that body which in itself is already odd when there are cases of enemies not dropping any on OTs (7:00, 3:48) and even "normal" kills (3:58). So UT hits build both meters and the kills drop essence that either heals or allows for more UTs, what the fuck. But at least they don't seem to delimb much and mostly just deal damage so the potential spam might be slightly alleviated by stronger enemies and higher difficulty modes, after all this is just normal footage.
I am also concerned about OTs being weaved into combo strings, what a moronic way to castrate the moveset.


>>712555639
If you played NGB and still have issues with your attacks being blocked then you might be retarded bro, no offense.

>>712556195
worthless zoomer opinion

Also the homophobia is not cool.

>>712549957
>ITS NOT A REAL VIDEO GAME
It's not a real Ninja Gaiden that's for sure

>>712556123
and then you get to the first real difficulty (MN) and it's iframe chain slop

>>712557472
ninja kino 3 had those too

>>712557796
>the worst game in the series had it too
Not helping yourself there

>>712557472
Animations are alot better int Rising.
You can see/feel the weight, Yakhomo 4 feels like its weightless, it's pretty obvious.

>>712557968
Rising doesn't even have an animation, it's a cancerous flashbang and then Raiden is on the enemy

>>712558220
I'm talking about the webm here.

>>712544503
>can't even identify what's wrong until I read the replies
If trivial ass bullshit like this is enough to trigger you into writing off a game, it's unironically over for the gaming industry. Ragebait streamers and negative engagement bias won.

>>712558680
Absolutely... I am not a gta fan...

>>712557937
ng1 > ng3 > UT sim

>>712559021
>ng3 > ng3 (UT sim)
What did he mean by this?

>>712558976
The character in itself is shit, the way they are using the name Ninja Gaiden to push for their "modern audience" is disgusting.
The techno-futurist shit feels off, it looks like a mix of Ghostrunner and Astral Chains, not even close to NG.
The characters seen so far look like absolute shit.
This is a complete travesty. They should have named this something else, but certainly not Ninja Gaiden.
The bosses look like shit too, except one maybe, but overall this is a complete fuck up for me.
But I do not doubt that alot of zoomers will love it, or some people who enjoy the faggy look of yakhomo.
And I think that alot of people are happy with what they are seeing, so the gaming industry will be fine and we will get alot more of gay shit and shitty characters!

>>712559569

but that's at least master ninja though

>>712561323
yeah, that's the ng2 equivalent

>>712561261
Still look like shit, the cyborg one looks unimpressive and bland and the other one look just like the basic one with red nailpolish for yakhomo.
This character is a disaster. anime looking faggot.

>>712561884
The cyborg one looks fine but it should've had the palette for the black and red costume. He'll likely have an unlockable fiend costume like Ryu. Hopefully it doesn't look like shit.

>>712542609 (OP)
damn this looks like shit mechanically and visually.
also they added checkpoints and on the fly difficultly changing.
itagaki would be turning in his grave lol

>>712560907
What a bad faith post, the level 1 ut does shit damage which is why it takes that long, they die much quicker when you fight them normally. Several NG2 enemies are significantly tankier than anything in 3RE when you fought without UTs and Ninpo.

>>712564665
>when fought

i made a bunch of vids

you can dodge out of repeat hits and it has gay slowdown after
ng4 is a lot worse than expected

enemies have fucking warnings for easy parries.
you regain health like a bloodborne faggot if you attack right after.
and here's more gay slowdown.

>>712565375
Of course you can do that, it's made by platinum. They have 0 understanding of NG combat and especially it's defense.

I guarantee you attacks will not allow you to block during recovery

>>712565375
What's with the retarded exclamation marker? Did they get playtesters who are suffering from cataract or some shit? Also hate the slowdown on dodge/block/parry shit, dunno where this trend started but it needs to fucking die already or at least give the option to turn it off.

rather than enemies just breaking your guard and you having to react, you have a guard bar.
its ok though, you can gay slowdown dodge.

>>712565509
>enemies have fucking warnings for easy parries.
No it's not an attack warning retard. All it does is warn you when an enemy you're not attacking is targeting you (which is still awful).

>>712565662
see above

>>712565375
>action game series known for high speed, violent fights
>no blood
>nearly non existent delimbing

bravo platinum

le epic fullscreen charged heavy
and of course it armors and you get your health back

look at how long all the enemies are stunned after a charged heavy
they just fucking stand there

>>712565805

>>712565375
>>712565805

>>712566090
those little squirts of blood barely count as anything

Yea i‘ll just be playing ragebound instead

>>712558976
While that walk-and-talk complain is a nitpick, everything we've seen so far has been garbage.
It's not just that it isn't a good Ninja Gaiden game, it's not a good game at all.

>>712566423
Platinum have never made a good game. They could have chosen some random indie studio like instead like they did with ragebound and it would have been better

>>712566521
bayonetta 1 and w101 are very good games

NG2 schizos having their usual NG2 schizo melties. Very grim state of the community. Imagine being this mentally ill.

>>712566521
>some random indie studio
Action games is one of the game genres indies are literally unable to make.

>>712566521
Indie studios would literally just make it a sekiro knockoff (which is bad)

>>712565509
This fucker has too much hyper armor for little to no risk and also notice no command grabs from enemies.

>>712566657
I never played W101; I just don't like minigame compilations.

>>712565712
Also here, holds block and retarded enemies keep flailing instead of going for a grab.

>>712566521
>Platinum have never made a good game.
Yeah, you've invalidated yourselves entirely. Good thing this is an anonymous forum, but just know that you're an actual dipshit with the objectively worst opinions imaginable. You lack critical thinking entirely and also likely self-awareness. This is when I'd feel shame if I were you.

>>712565805
>no blood
>nearly non existent delimbing

blind retard

>>712567637
nothing I said was a lie

MGRR chads stay winning

>>712565806
The insanely wide sweeping arc attacks ( with hyper armor ) are fucking ridiculous, whoever playtested this and thought this was a good idea is a fucking retard.

>>712544783
Yeah you can tell they're trying to say the right things.

>>712545052
Keep the gates shut brother. You're doing good work.

>>712544783
He's reading from a script someone else made, IGN always does that.

>>712568004
I don't like them one bit but they at least seem to do very little damage. This guy is playing on normal mode in one of the first missions of the game and can barely take out a single mook using this.

The crowd control is what's really retarded since it seems to stun all of them for a good bit.

>>712544783
>>712568240
NTA but the IGN faggot sounds like a telemarketer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64cj7Q9c_YA

I think Yakumo looks cool.

>>712568563
It's way too overtuned and got too much shit stacked on top ( safe, hyper armor, crowd control, easy way to regain health, probably some other shit it can do ) it's like they specifically made it for retard proofing purposes and give journalists an easy way out with zero risk involved.

>>712566372
Ragebound is unfortunately the indie equivalent of NG4. Meaning putting stupid modern takes on a classic formula that had nothing to do with the original IP.
It's practically a sequel to The Messenger, rather than 2D NG game.

>>712544503
Looks washed out. Is this UE5?

>>712569579
Right every day. NG4 doing well will not all of a sudden create an influx of action games and if they do, they'll be like NG4 which is dogshit.

Don't buy NG4 or at a minimum get gamepass for like $10 for one month to play it so you're not directly giving a sale to platinum. The only people that were possible of making a good action game was Team Ninja and they flubbed it by giving NG to platinum. Shitsuno is tapped out and likely will never make another DMC. Kamiya is working on Okami 2. Who the fuck knows what Mikami is doing, probably more RE type games AGAIN.

There's no one else at there, besides some random ass studio that somehow actually has the talent to make something good and original

>>712570024
Don't think it was confirmed whether it is or isn't on UE5 or Platinum's engine. Some say it's the latter but Platinum haven't confirmed it yet afaik.

>>712569871
You're retarded. Ragebound takes a lot of ideas from both OG NG and the 3D games to make a really fun platformer that has some good depth and at least based on Ryu, potential for some amazing boss fights.

Like what the fuck are you even talking about? what "modern" takes does it even have? A "modern" take would be making it a metroidvania and giving enemies health bars and having to hit them multiple times per enemy.

>>712558976
Don't you know? NGfags are all about sucking off the youtuber with the gameplay density meme. They are ironically the modern audience they complain about, listening to another guy to shape their opinions.

>>712570338
That's the problem, it takes nearly none of those mechanics from 2D NES game nor the Xbox titles.
I said it rather clear, it's more of a sequel to The Messenger. The entire gameplay formula and level design is taken straight from that game, what else do you want me to explain? That the game doesn't have actual ninpo system? That the game doesn't have guilotine throws, which the arcade game had, and instead has modern dodge slop iframe shit? That it has the same exact gimmicky timed puzzle sections from The Messenger? That it has the same identical bouncy castle mechanic shit where you bounce off the enemy like Sonic The Hedgehog?
BTW, it's ironic that you're talking about Metroidvania because precisely The Messenger had an epic twist halfway through the game that turned the game from stage focused game into metroidvania level layout.

you keep bringing up this boogieman in every thread, did he fuck your mother to the point that he lives rent free in your head or something

>>712570720
>it takes nearly none of those mechanics from 2D NES game
WHAT mechanics. The only mechanics the NES games had were wall jumping and wall/ceiling climbing. It had ninpo but that's just subweapons which a million 2D games at that time had. This game certainly has those.
A big part of the 2D games appeal is the agility you had and being able to navigate the level at a good pace while enemies come at you from every which way and that is 100% in ragebound.
>has modern dodge slop iframe shit?
>>>>>>>>modern
You know rolling is a big part of the 3D games right? You can argue that is "modern" but they're doing it because it's a part of the 3D games and more importantly the game uses it for more mechanical purposes because attacking while dodging gives you a unique attack (which matters more so with hypercharge attacks) and jumping after a dodge gives you a special jump animation where attacking during it gives you a unique air attack which has much better range (again applies to hypercharge as well). This gives dodge more mechanical depth and gives the player more tools to work with which do actually matter.
Bet you're retarded fucking ninja dog brain didn't even know the dodge gave different attacks.

I never played the messenger so you bringing it up means nothing, especially when the devs of this have nothing to do with the messenger. You are really obsessed with that game and it's very strange.

Ragebound takes the very basic gameplay of the nes NG games and brings back it's spirit while taking ideas from the 3D games and working them into a unique system that lets you play fast and efficiently, which to me is the heart of Ninja Gaiden both 2D and 3D. You're an absolute fucking nutcase trying to push off a genuinely good game because of your sheer ignorance

>>712571867

This gives dodge more mechanical depth and gives the player more tools to work with which do actually matter.
Like I said, this is taken directly from The Messenger. You not playing those games makes you look very silly, especially when I never even shat on Ragebound lol. I only said the game has more in common with that game and then you went off on a schizo rambling about me apparently hating on the game.
Unless you're on of those schizos that saying a game is "modern" means it is automatically bad.

>>712570283
Its on Platinums engine. Every single game using Unreal has to advertise as such during trailers with logo.

>>712550442
Yakumo is seriously one of the worst designs I've ever seen for a character. He embodies all the negative aspects of weebshit design. I don't get it. You have Ryu Hayabusa, you've worked on Metal Gear Rising featuring a cool Raiden. You have numerous cool things to draw your inspiration from and THIS is what you come up with? The contrast between this faggot and Ryu is so noticeable.

Ryu
>sleek, simple design
>iconic head piece that blends perfectly into his overall look
>has a bulky physique which tells you he takes his training incredibly seriously, there's a reason Ryu is able to do the things he does

Yakumo
>overly busy weebshit with tons of zippers and pockets everywhere
>two-tone hair weebshit with a retarded looking furry mask
>physique of a high school student who has lifted a barbell in his life yet is wielding weapons 4x his size with ease

This really isn't a "Platinum" issue for me as you can find this type of shit littered in millions of Japanese games. It is a definite downgrade in design philosophy IMO. The Ragebound protagonist looks x1000000 cooler than this little faggot.

>>712575151
You just don't get it

>>712572914
Explain exactly how every mechanic in the messenger applies to ragebound in detail because otherwise you have no argument and just puffing smoke and pretend it makes for an argument

>>712575281
Yes. It's not for me. That looks stupid. The "this guy is super super skinny and lanky but he's really super duper strong!" shit is so lame.

let's talk about real news
how is the ninja gaiden 2 decomp going?

>>712575151
I just wanna know where this comes from. Platinum has never done a design like Yakumo. It doesn't have anything to do with Platinums usual shtick and it certainly doesn't have anything to do with ninja gaiden. Team Ninja's artists have far more sensible designs based on their modern team so to see yakumo and the other new characters in the trailers is genuinely a tragedy.

I will seethe if NG4 is popular. I don't think any other action game has gotten as raped as this. It's worse than every other attempt at bringing in a new protagonist and dare I say it's worse than ninja theory's DmC

I love how suddenly NGfags are super concerned about game balance but people going through NG2 doing nothing but spamming UTs is absolutely fine game balancing in their minds.

>>712565931
actual beat 'em up gameplay will never work in the modern era. people throw tantrums like babies when opponents can attack at the same time. just look at how many complaints the fwe mandatory vs fights in db xenoverse 2 where you're pitted 1v3 have garnered

>>712565375
You could just block and then immediately dodg in older games, barely any difference here since dodging is done with the same input anyway.
>>712565712
>>712567428
This is good and makes guardbreaks a thing even on normal mode. The two starting ninja variants in NGB could literally be turtled all day long because they had no guardbreaks nor grabs, same with the brown imps. Humanoids in NG2 barely had any guardbreak attacks even on MN, and they all were either heavily telegraphed standalone hits or placed at the end of their multihit strings. The only exception is the fiend variant of sword ninjas. Enemy guardbreaks were testing moveset knowledge, not reaction, whereas the new system does both since each hit has its own guardbreak value now https://youtu.be/LypituWx0hY?si=4yIXyGas-umfAWnZ&t=385 and there's constant overlapping between attacks. Being guardbroken also seemingly puts you in a much more disadvantageous state than before. The old system was braindead since you could just dodge right away or guardreset.
>>712565806
He took increased damage while charging and only healed half of it on what is essentially the easy mode in all but name since only Hero is lower and the game just plays itself there.
>>712565931
They are stunned from losing their limbs, and the AI tends to go passive during OTs in all games.
Hope this helps.

>>712577915
If you're a real fan of Ninja Gaiden you realize that the series has flaws and could see how a true NG4 would actually try to solve those issues rather than just not care and continue to have those issues or in this case make them worse.

Apparently Yakumo has devil trigger mode which gives him attacks that just insta-kill enemies. It's a meter that builds up separately from all of his other mechanics

>>712578098
guard breaks never mattered

>>712577915
to be 100% honest cheese is unavoidable. you make the game as hard as you want for yourself. gay slowdown in 4 is mandatory so of course it's different in that case

WILL THIS GAME RUN ON MY GTX 1060 6GB?

>>712578629
Doubt.

WILL THIS GAME RUN ON MY RTX 5080?

Just me in the thread that thinks having a new age protagonist with modern design sensibilities that clashes with the classic protagonist who plays exactly the same is a pretty good idea that makes total sense?

>>712579324
Why would you think that's a good idea? Non-retards want ninja gaiden to return because it has unique gameplay, so introducing a character that takes 95% of the focus and plays like a typical platinum character is just a giant steaming shit on their face

>>712550776
Ryu rejected this. He is undeniable 100% gay.

>>712579527
They want to make a profitable game that actually allows the series to continue to exist and that involves casting a wider net. I feel like 90% of existing NG fans are also fans of some combination of DMC, Bayonetta, MGR etc and will still enjoy the sections playing as the new guy

NG4 is not Ninja Gaiden. It is not the same series. It's just a platinum game.

Imagine there's a racing game series you like that is more on the sim side of things. It's been dormant for over a decade a new entry gets announced but instead of a hardcore sim, they shove cartoony karts in your face and the game now plays like a kart racer but they say "don't worry, the old fans will feel familiar in our sim mode" and the sim mode is 4 tracks with 3 cars and it plays like need for speed rather than a gran turismo. If you're a fan of this series, how could you be happy with that? Then what's next, the game gets popular and the next entry just further leans into the kart racer, this time it doesn't even pretend to care about the original sim mode. This is not the same series anymore.

This is exactly what they're doing with NG4. It's skinwalking as ninja gaiden but it's liteally just a fully original platinum game. I like NG, I like DMC, I like Bayonetta, etc, etc but I like all of those games for DIFFERENT REASONS. I like NG because it's mechanics and how you play it is completely unique from Bayonetta, MGR, etc.

>>712580827
exactly, although personally if i was ryu i would have went with ayane

>>712580476
Everybody knew that DMC5 would have 3 different playable characters from the beginning including Dante. How his story played out is a different thing, no one could predict the plot and the roles of the characters before the games release. At the time for all we knew every character would takw up 1/3 of the games portion.
Besides Nero or Dante weren't even the selling point of 5, it was unironically Vergil. Everybody wanted to see him finally return, it wasn't Nero or V.

>NG4 is not Ninja Gaiden. It is not the same series. It's just a platinum game.
At the very least I expect some fun bosses, especially the final one. Armstrong and Pic related are among the most entertaining final bosses ever in gaming.

>>712580991
What I've seen of NG4 so far simply doesn't strike me as a massive departure, especially the Ryu sections. You're still charging UTs, doing short air combos, interrupting with shurikens and spamming swallows, block dodging, chaining STEEL ON BONE finishers or whatever the fuck they called it in NG3. The kart racing comparison doesn't seem fair

>>712545765
You faggots are so mentally ill and obsessed. Jesus fucking Christ, the fact you can’t talk about something you like without endlessly screeching about something you don’t is insanely pathetic and borderline autistic.

Itagaki San too cool. He definitely smashed her with his katana later that day.

>>712581943
Yeah that's another thing I wanted to add to my comment but refrained from doing so. I'm willing to give them at least the benefit of the doubt, because realistically that's the only thing I can offer this game and Platinum in general.

>>712582031
I've beaten the series multiple times on the many different versions

It's actually embarassing how shit Itagaki's games have been since he got kicked out

>>712580275
>Veins on the butt.

Ragebound will save Ninja Gaiden. It's going to return to being a 2D series. Platinum's knock-off will just finish what NG3 started and kill 3D NG for good.

Platinum didn't design the MGR Raiden. It's a remnant of the game's story under KojiPro where Raiden was going to be a brainwashed hitman for the Patriots before MGS4, which is why it looks edgy.

>>712586519
Not having the higher difficulties unlocked isn't even the worst part of the video, it's his genuinely atrocious button-mashing gameplay where he's struggling on fucking Warrior that makes it obvious that he has no idea what he's doing.

>>712581195
>no one could predict the plot and the roles of the characters before the games release
Nero was always at the front and center of the game. First trailer was his. Demo was his. First missions were his. Producer showed to promote the game in his coat. They even made a lifesize statue of him.

You'd need to be deluded to think the protagonist was going to be anyone but Nero and Dante wouldn't have a role similar to his role in DMC4.

>>712587841
I think Mork's cool, but whenever he talks about games I actually know things about, he sounds like a complete casual poser. His NG2 and DMC3 videos are the biggest examples I can think of. His DMC3 video is genuinely embarrassing and I could barely tough through it. It just makes me wonder if his videos about other games are just as awful to people who actually understand them.

>>712542609 (OP)
It looks okay. If I had to guess I think it'll be as good as Razor's Edge, but nothing close to Black or Vanilla NG2. I'm more interested in Ragebound, honestly.

That's a screenshot from ElectricUnderground's video on Ninja Gaiden. The guy is known for playing shmups, but he also tries really hard to sell himself as a hardcore gamer. The video he made on NG2 shows that he doesn't know much about NG and only stans it for online cred. The guy 1cc shmups on streams, so he really didn't have to do that.

My (least) favorite part is when he says he was trying to learn how to use Royal Guard, so he decided to look up other people's gameplay, which is when he discovered, by analyzing a Japanese player's footage frame by frame, that "DMC3's Royal Guard attack mechanic" (he doesn't even know the fucking name of the move) has counter-hit properties. It was just painful to watch.

>>712600328
I can't say I blame them for not rembering them. You'll only really notice them if you go into first person and look at the enviroment. I find it really weird that Sky City Tokyo in NG2 was all futuristic with hover cars and stuff, and then NG3's Tokyo was just basic modern Tokyo, and now NG4 is going back to futuristic Tokyo. Very weird changes.

>>712600328
People are just committed to hating the game.

>still having faith in Shartinum games post Babylon's Fail
oh no no no laugh at the faithful NGkeks itt

>>712589491

>>712600905
It's almost as if 0 thought ever went into the world building in Ninja Gaiden. Like how in NG1 the Vigoor empire has modern weaponry and even dudes in power armor that can shoot lasers but for some reason they send feudal age samurai to steal the dark dragon sword.

>>712601283
I don't think Team Ninja focused on the story in NGB / NG2 much at all. Itagaki even went back on whether the stories in his games are connected to the NES games at one point.

I'm convinced the main thing keeping people from thinking the game the game 'looks' like the prior entries is the camera. If the camera was wedged between Yakumo's ass cheeks like the last 3 games it would get be much more positively received.

ng4 ooks terrible for a variety of reasons and i woudnt be able to cover it in less than 2000 characters. i will say however that if they bring back rachel and give her hairy armpits i will consider getting the game on sale. those are my terms.

I love ninja gaiden and I only recently came here to the NG threads with the 2 remake.

Holy fuck, easily one of the worst fandoms . you fags are crybabies

>>712542609 (OP)

-different art style

-arguably ryus worst outfit

-preorder bonus in game currency

Don't forget that this has mid-mission difficulty selection. Expect that it will have Platinum style difficulty scaling instead of NG style.

The fact that balding losers are crying so hard about it really makes this game that much better already

>>712542609 (OP)
Anyone else disappointed with Ragebound? I feel it would be a way more enjoyable game if it didn't had that "kill the enemy with the right type of move to be able to 1 hit-kill a big enemy". Enemy placement also feels kinda samey with lots of encounters that feel identical.
Also dodge button, it feels out of place in a 2d game with movement fluid enough to get you out of the way of most attacks. Not that big of a deal but still, feels like following a trend mindlessly

>>712603934
>5 of these is just vague shit complaining about visuals

youre a true midwit. i hate to break it to you but visuals and art direction are half of what sells a game. any game has an established artstyle which is part of its appeal. its what makes the characters popular and its what builds much of the tone/atmosphere of the game. How many other franchises have you seen where they made a new title after a decade and people criticized the new entry because of the way things look? this happens constantly because it matters and more often than not the new people they have working on the game fuck it up. you didnt even make a counter argument, to anyone else reading this you just made yourself look like a retard.

it isnt just the visuals its the gameplay itself as well. if it wasnt an organic backlash there wouldnt be so many threads getting to 300+ posts after the reveals because up until recently they had not shown anything.

>>712605750
Ninja Gaiden has always had an incredibly weak art direction. The original Xbox game was probably the closest it came to something coherent.

>>712569871
>It's practically a sequel to The Messenger, rather than 2D NG game.
it's not even developed by the same guys, the only similarity they have is that both are ng inspired

I hope this game is a success so all the obnoxious 2fags would seethe so hard they pop a blood vessel

>>712605836
the original xbox one is the one thats my favorite for that exact reason. i think 2 started to jump the shark (sequel syndrome) but it was 3 that was the most schizophrenic and the nail in the coffin. i will concede that point to you. i had hoped that team ninja had learned their lesson though and that they would have scaled the scope down to something more cohesive for a possible NG4 game. to not bide your time and learn from your mistakes just seems like a missed opportunity.

>>712605979
its not an essay bro its a well structured argument. its literally always zoomers that say shit like you. you have such fried attention spans that when people treat you like an adult and properly address the points you make, you get bored reading it and make yourself look even more like a complete retard complaining about one paragraph. i typed up another 2 to answer and then deleted it because you wont read it anyway.

TLDR: NG1 had a cohesive art direction where they tried to make everything look cool and didnt make anything over designed or silly. NG2 they started to fuck up but it wasnt until ng3 that they basically gave up and obviously didnt care anymore.

>>712606809
nigga you're literally just putting words together and making as much sentences as possible to hide your ignorance hoping nobody catches you on your bullshit, you type so much shit that doesn't mean anything
i don't know why you spend so much time writing essays on a series you've never played to convince people that thing le bad xD

how's the combat in this one, team ninja broes...

>>712607062
good luck in life dude if youre this stupid no matter what you do you are basically doomed to failure. nothing in my posts are hard to understand.

Go look at the enemy design of ninja gaiden black. its more cohesive than the other games. not only that but if you play it on harder difficulty modes you unlock new enemies which are just as cool if not cooler. nontheless it all has a cohesive art design. im starting to think the person that hasnt played the games is you.

not what i said. you should just go play fortnite or something instead of wasting your time with ninja gaiden. you can play as any character you want, i think they even have hank hill now. since they put everything in that game without restraint i think it would appeal to you more than this game would.

>>712607517
idk what cohesive about enemies in this game, seems as random as every other ng, itagaki was a gameplay fag either way, he didn't care for aesthetics

>>712607574
playing NGB master ninja rn actually sweety :)

have itagaki fixed his skin yet?

>>712607254
it's fast

>>712607286
This is cool to you?

>>712607804
xhe dreams about that enemy every night raping his boy pussy

>>712607589
>>712607517
both of these are only unlocked on hard mode. this is a pro to NGB not a con. They still fit in visually with the rest of the game. them being more visually interesting is more like a reward for playing it on a harder mode.

these are well designed enemies. they arent overly detailed or covered with pointless geometry for the sake of looking complicated. the cat fiends or probably one of the weirdest enemies of NGB- yet look subdued compared to much of ng2 or ng3.

the cybernetic guards are only on hard mode, many players will never encounter them. they replace the basic swat guys. just like how on harder modes- the ninjas get more complex as well. vigoorian ninja is a good example. this is a good looking enemy and much cooler than the humans you fight in ninja gaiden 3 who repeat the word fuck over and over. these guys dont say anything. just have a filter put over their attack and death sounds. just business.

the tone of the first ninja gaiden game is just well executed. each game after it just got worse.

>>712607804
yeah i do think so, compare that to the purple spastic fiends you fight in NG2. pretty much every design in NGB is more aesthetic and grounded than whatever its equivalent enemy would be in the later games.

>>712579324
You do it only if you have something as cool or even cooler than the old character.
This is not the case at all with yakhomo.
Also fuck "modern" shit, we know what that means.

>>712607954
this nigga who seriously likes the "aesthetics" of only 1 game and think every other game looks terrible, is telling you NG4 doesn't look like NG btw

>>712608109
i said earlier that ng2 also had good designs, the franchise was the most cohesive in the first game. the second game started to do weird shit but still had good designs.NG fans say their favorite is either the first or the second. thats where the playerbase is split. i personally prefer the first game.

it was the third game where they gave up. that game was the one that people said killed the franchise. ng4 basically looks like they just took ng3 and turned it into cyberpunk. and the new protagonist nonetheless would have been a bizarre inclusion in any 3 of those titles.

>>712587365
Oh yeah, that's so cool, if you are a teenager girl.
Look at this faggot arched backed balloon pants wearing shit of a character.

>>712608330
sure thing fellow ninka gaiden fan, NG3 ruined the series because it was too cyberpunk, totally wasn't a thing in NG2 with flying cars and enemies that looks like this

>>712607954
I am pretty sure cat fiends spawned on normal mode too and the robot niggas in tairon were super out of place when you first see them

>>712588307
She is a man now and "s"he will be yakhomo"s boyfriend.

>>712607517
Those enemies would be so fun to fight in NG2. I wish they had made it in instead of the stupid dragons or zombies.

>>712608419
Nah he looks cool

>>712608516
never thought about it, but you are right, shame they added fucking zombies and shitty dragons over them

>>712608476
the robotic shit in ng2 is basically the main complaint that people have in it. but that is not the entire game. thats why i said that ninja gaiden 2 still has decent designs here and there, but its where they started doing weird shit. this is the problem of not having someone saying hey this is cool on paper but we dont need this. its basically a quake enemy. if ng2 had not been on the xbox 360 i think there would have been less pressure to make enemies like this that are just visually a mess. but as i said before, not everything in ng2 was like this. but it was the start of things going downhill

>>712608489
they dont spawn on normal. "robot niggas" dont spawn on normal either. tairon is a cool area because it has old world architecture but they have a high tech military. this isnt any different than places in europe having old ass but nice looking buildings but access to cutting edge modern technology.

again the "robot niggas" were an upgraded form for hard mode and up. you dont ever see them on normal or easy. they also looked like tech that would exist by 2020 not stuff that is a clusterfuck to look like its from 2050. designing everything to look like a razr gaming mouse is shit tier design. they did that to ryus fucking chest in the new game too while im on that topic.

>>712608807
>the robotic shit in ng2 is basically the main complaint that people have in it
literally nobody said this, you're making up shit now to make an angle to attack NG4
you're so full of shit lmao

>>712608807
you know you don't have to repeat that robot guys spawn on normal three times, everyone knows that, maybe with cat fiends I am missremembering my first playthrough
>tairon is a cool area
the idea may be cool, but it was pretty whatever to play through, most people dislike aesthetics in ng1 in my experience

>>712603213
What Final Fantasy game is that?

>>712544503
i thought you CHUDS said razors KINO was LE EVIL because it had walking and talking segments but SUDDENLY it's LE GOOD IF PLATNINUM DOES IT!
CURIOUS

>>712608971
you can find people complaining about it in NG threads and i have seen it while searching about peoples thoughts on the remake of the sequel. there are threads of people complaining about the robotic enemies just being too outlandish.

This is my theory and you can take this or leave it. Ninja gaiden has a fairly grounded story in terms of it taking place in modern times, but the world having remnants of older culture here and there. (hayabusa village/ninja enemies/ samurai army etc) the demon world somehow opening up and connecting with the modern world is not that outlandish in terms of story telling, this is common in fact. so you can still have the ninjas/samurai/ swat/military enemies in the same game as a lot of the demons and monsters without it being that retarded.

its when you up it past a certain degree that the tone becomes so comical that people have an issue with it, and this is going to differ on a person by person basis. but the cybernetic monstrosities you end up fighting start tipping the scale to the point that the game feels retarded because now you have enemies you would expect from quake4. ninja gaiden 3 makes you fight a trex at some point. i cant remember if that was a cyrbog also or what but there is just a point where there is too damn much in the game.

>>712609385
years of NG where no one really cared about this shit, NG4 continues the natural progression of what's already in there and suddenly you show up telling everyone your personal anecdote about how it was always bad and everyone always hated it and we should boycott the new game because it's destroying the IP
not falling for your bullshit brother
here's a gamefaq thread from 16 years ago btw
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/943273-ninja-gaiden-ii/43830891

>>712609385
>ninja gaiden 3 makes you fight a trex at some point.
Yeah, and? Fighting a cyborg T-Rex is cool as fuck and it's not any more absurd than fighting a bone dragon or a four-armed, scythe-wielding giant werewolf. The T-Rex fight is only bad because it sucks mechanically. I genuinely have no idea what you've been rambling about here. Complaining about Ninja Gaiden, of all things, being "outlandish" and "comical" is just silly because no Ninja Gaiden game, going back all the way to the original arcade game, has ever tried to be "grounded" or whatever. You can just say you don't like NG4's designs because Yakumo and the new girl look like gacha/MOBA rejects or whatever. I would even agree with you there. Just stop saying all this inane, stupid shit about the series as a whole.

>>712609748
my argument is simply that ninja gaiden suffered from a bad case of sequel syndrome where they felt each entry should be crazier than the previous game. for every person that liked it there were other people who disliked it. as i said before this came to a spearhead when people said (and still said even before ng2 remake) that ng3 was what killed the franchise.

team ninja had an opportunity to reevaluate the direction of the franchise and to return to the first 2 games to try and figure out what made it more appealing but instead of doing so they outsourced the game to a studio that should not have been in control of the art design. i like platinum but im not surprised the people who made vanquished and metal gear rising took ninja gaiden and made it look like ninja gaiden 4. im also not surprised that a modern day 2020+ corporation would introduce a mandatory playable character that looks like a board room market research character of popular trends right now. the new character looks like they combined whatever appeals to zoomers into something they could market to sell the game. (anime/ cyberpunk/ goth/ e-boy/ tiktok fashion)

if these trends were not as popular with zoomers the new character would not look like this which is my point.

>>712610105
What about her?

>>712610326
damn you're trying to bullshit your way out of this terribly, now you're you're blaming the "artstyle" and the robot designs on why people didn't like 3? you're pretty shameless aren't you?

>>712610270
the only other game i can think of with a robot trex is turok. the bone dragon was a reanimated corpse which fell in line with the fact that some necromancy shit was happening in the first game which is just standard fantasy. it isnt the same thing as cloning or growing a dinosaur or whatever they did in a lab and turning it into a digimon. the two arent even comparable. often times less is more. but your opinion is your opinion.

i personally never liked the werewolf stuff but at the very least it still had its roots in old legend/folklore which is part of the lore of ninja gaiden. that there were ancient bloodlines/monsters from earlier eras in ancient human history. so they made a half attempt at justifying it. there was a bare minimum attempt at making it cohesive with the plot.

is it that hard for you to accept that ninja gaiden black was fairly grounded and that in the sequel it started to move into another direction? and that by the third game it devolved into a mess? that seems like a fairly agreeable and logical assessment of the trilogy. especially when the director left after the second game- and most likely was on the way out during the development of the sequel. im not even an itagaki fanboy i dont think he made anything noteworthy or impressive after the first 2 ninja gaiden games.

>>712610517
there are a multitude of reasons why people disliked 3. none of which conflict with anything i said. and if you think something i said is conflicting with something else i said simply point it out and i will address it.

>>712610805
you're so full of shit lmao, this argument started with you making shit up to complain about the visuals and now you're trying to create a false equivalence that the artstyle is part of why people hate NG3
you are mentally ill

>>712601283
This sounds like Metroid Other M where there are Beams and regular assault rifles with bullets yet a construction vehicle and some bioweapons have lasers shooting out of every whole. I thought it was Nintendo being crazy but now I know it was just the usual Team Ninja.

>>712610954
i made multiple arguments. people mainly dislike ninja gaiden 3 because of its gameplay. but there are other issues that contribute to that as well. the art direction got more outlandish in each game. little to nothing from ninja gaiden 4 looks like it would exist in the same world as ninja gaiden black. the bridge from ng04/ngb to ng4 is the fact that along the way starting with ng2 and through ng3 there was an increasing willingness to just say fuck it we can put anything in the game it doesnt matter anymore. which changes the tone and atmosphere of the game and any sense of it being a well thought out world. a lot of people are turned off by that because it leaves an impression that the people that made the game do not give a fuck about it. which is how we end up at ng4 where its handed off as i said, to a studio that has no history on the game, and from everything we see it may as well take place in an alternate timeline or 20 years in the future with a protagonist which looks like he is an unlockable skin from another franchise who you will be forced to play as for half the game if not more.

again, people have said for a decade that ng3 is what killed the franchise. much of that was the gameplay, but it was also was the fact that it felt like a lazy mess compared to the prior games. and one part of that impression is it 100% giving up on any semblance of being cohesive in anyway- and an element of that is art direction/ level/enemy/character design. why are you fighting a guy in NG3 who looks like an assassins creed character? because its the same game as the cyborg trex. you can put anything in that game.

You guys get angry at the most minimum nitpick.

>>712612706
that dude is clearly mentally ill
nobody ever brought up art style and enemy design being bad in NG2 and 3 for more than a decade of discussion
he's just desperately looking for an angle to shitpost 4

>>712612706
NG2 fags would get mad about a better camera or bosses that aren't shit

The age of souls slop is over . . .

>>712612936
"mentally ill?" you were the one earlier who said that none of the criticisms of ng4 seem organic. i guess you think that every thread that hits the post cap are 5 people? people i know who have never finished a ninja gaiden game and have only played a bit one 1 or 2 say that the new character looks retarded. its entirely an organic criticism of the game.

me pointing out that the art direction has gotten worse since ninja gaiden 2 but reached critical mass at ninja gaiden 3 is not a concept that should be hard for yu to acknowledge. people judged ninja gaiden 2 and 3 on their gameplay but its naive to think that a large part of the impression that a game leaves on players is not effected by art direction. thats pure retardation.

when ninja gaiden 2 came out people made fun of shit like the giant armadillo and the statue of liberty fight just like they did with the werewolves. but because the core gameplay was still decent and it added so many new weapons people accepted the game for what it was. people did bring it up though because it was retarded.

>>712613709
>when ninja gaiden 2 came out
>statue of liberty

>>712614474
>boomers stuck on jerking a 20yo game expected
i don't know, the guy complaining can't even figure out what's in NG2 when it came out
it's why his complaints are all vague shit about visuals because he just saw the games and never played them

>>712542609 (OP)
My god, IGN never disappoint with the flaming faggot talking non-sense in the first few seconds of each video. Fuck IGN

>>712613796
its been years since i played ng2 and ngs so if the statue of liberty fight is a sigma invention thats my mistake. but it doesnt change my argument. tonally the bosses from ninja gaiden 2 got clowned on a lot for being bizzare/retarded/ completely over the top. people still to this day complain about them and it has nothing to do with Ninja gaiden 2 being remade. and it isnt just because many of them are mechanically worse than NGB. its because so many of them are just retarded looking on top of it. the problem started in NG2 and they just accelerated it in NG3.

the atmosphere and general tone is why so many people prefer the first game over the second one. the second game nevertheless has a large fanbase of its own because the combat outside of the boss encounters is solid.

before most of the people here even used /v/ i was on the old ninja gaiden forum ninja fortress and i remember the criticisms of the game because i was there when it all was brand new. ninja fortress is also a great example of ninja gaiden at its peak in world building because they will never make an atmospheric level like that ever again in ninja gaiden. something that is not afraid to be overly flashy and complex for the sake of being complex. that level set the tone for the entire game and was amazing.

>>712614678
*not afraid to NOT be overly flashy and complex for the sake of being complex

>>712614678
nigga you already got caught googling "ninja gaiden enemies" to look for something to make fun off

>>712614802
i played ng2 and ninja gaiden sigma when they released. both of those games came out a long time ago. if i get one boss fight from sigma mixed up with ng2 it doesnt mean i didnt play the games.

ninja gaiden black and ninja gaiden 2 are both fun games but the tone and design of so much in NG2 is so far removed from the first game it was jarring to a lot of people. if you cant accept that simple fact thats a you problem it shouldnt be such a big deal.

the importance of enemy design in a game like ninja gaiden matters because those are the things you are forced to interact with everytime you replay a chapter. to say that it has no effect on the game or peoples impression of it as i said before is naive. if you like the way everything looks in ninja gaiden 2 more than ninja gaiden black that is still your opinion and you can say that and it doesnt really matter because everyone has their own opinion.

>>712609281

its funny that you called me mentally ill or whatever earlier but you say shit like this. its a videogame that is almost 20 years old. if i misremember one thing its normal. i did not play ninja gaiden 2 nearly as much as i played ninja gaiden black because i felt like ninja gaiden black was the superior game in every regard. but that is an old argument in the ninja gaiden fandom that people still argue about to this day. its either youre a ng1 fan or a ng2 fan. i gave ng2 a few playthroughs over the years but i do not remember it that well because i didnt enjoy it that much outside of a few areas despite liking a lot of the new weapons that they introduced. you know what else i remember from the launch? the armadillo fucking one shotting you if you dont block it when you kill it. there is a lot of crap people complained about regarding that game. but none of it really surprises me because it was shipped unfinished. i still respect certain aspects of the game but its been like a decade since i touched it.

>>712609281
Razors Kino replaced them with Run and Talk

>>712616435
did you google that too? lmao and btw you've been arguing with me for hours now and the only thing you can produce as proof that the futuristic theme in NG4 is bad and not "ninja gaiden" is that you didn't like the armadillo boss fight in NG2

>>712616405
Yes

>>712616637
youre the one who is emotionally invested i only chimed in with my *opinion* because you said that the criticisms of the game didnt seem "real" to you. im just one person. you are the one defending a videogame for free. (unless they are paying you)

if i never said anything to you at all and i just said the general tech atmosphere makes it look like a different franchise that would be enough in of itself. the argument i got in with you was me explaining (patiently) that there was an art direction slide that started with ninja gaiden 2 and got worse with 3. its that simple. most of the bosses in 2 would have never been put in the first game because thematically its wildly different, and the same thing applies with ninja gaiden 3 shit never being put in ninja gaiden black. it isnt a confusing concept. tomorrow there will be another thread and i will not be in it but you will probably still be seething against some other guy criticizing the game.

i said it before, the reason there was a surge in so many people criticizing ng4 is that it wasnt until recently that we saw actual footage of the game. there are a lot of people that think they fucked up even from the small amount of the game we've seen. hopefully if you shill the game enough they will add some NINJA COIN onto your account

>>712607254

i'm just calling you out on your bullshit because you really have no idea what the fuck you're talking about but you just love to write paragraphs and paragraphs of garbage
nobody EVER complained about art style in ninja gaiden, you are the first one to ever show up saying NG2 and NG3 are bad now that you want to shitpost NG4

im not the one claiming that threads hitting the post limit are somehow inorganic. i thought that was so crazy that was the only reason i even shared my opinion or posted a single comment. that is a level of denial and cope i rarely see. you have hundreds of posts of people criticizing the game and what? whats your explanation? that every day since the reveal there are like 10 guys behind all of it? thats crazy person talk. even if you dont agree with a single thing i said -- you still cant explain that. thats just retarded. the only reason i wasted my time here was because someone earlier said they needed my help with something and i have been passing time waiting for them, and it wasnt until 10 minute ago that they said they will just do it tomorrow. if i had not been waiting around i would not have gotten involved in the conversation. i was bored. i also am not the one making wild implications that because someone got one thing mixed up with ng2vanilla and ng2s-- both of which are almost 20 years old --that it means the guy i disagree with "never played the game".

anyway have fun for the next month or two defending the game maybe it will surprise us and end up being good somehow i would be happy to be wrong but my gut tells me its going to be another shitty cash grab. one more studio using a prexisiting IP as a costume and a quick way to make an extra buck.

it's nice to finally see a character in this series that looks like an actual slim and agile ninja wearing an outfit inspired by actual shinobi garb, instead of a roided guy in a tight bdsm leather suit for the fourth time. the more futuristic elements also fit with the setting that they are going for. I'm guessing that the color of his hair is supposed to hint at him being partly an Oni demon, similar to Ayane or Honoka in DOA. I wonder if Raidou is also his dad. pretty good design overall. definitely way cooler and more distinctive than the generic guy from Yaiba and the guy from the new 2d side scroller spin off

>>712620545
Yeah. Ryu's bdsm suit came at a time were leather was all of the rage (Blade, X-men, Matrix etc...). Meanwhile, Yakumo's looks more pratical, as it is the trends right now.
Yakumo and Ryu's designs just showcases the trends of their times.

Didn't break his guard, just another way platinum misunderstands NG and adds visual aid to journalists to know ahead of time how many hits they can block which is retarded and also getting rid of enemy grab to incentivize turtling for several hits.

>>712620545
i would have preferred a game where you just have ryus outfit he has in the first chapter of ninja gaiden black. (the blue ninja outfit is basically what you posted in your picture) however i would have also preferred it be a game without any supernatural elements. him having large muscles (he trained his entire life) bothers you but someone being partly an oni doesnt? ryus outfit is not that impractical in terms of videogame costume design. it protects against slashes and does not restrict any mobility. and you cant criticize his black falcon costume as not being traditional if you are praising the game going in a futuristic non traditional direction.

>>712622180

ryu is still incredibly recognizable today and also was at the time of his xbox game, where as 10 years from now this new character will blend in with all the rest of the anime swordsmen characters of the last decade. if there was a ninja character in a recent final fantasy game he would probably look something like this new guy. its a generic style.

>zesty tranime faggot with buttplug walk cycle
kek

>>712622392
The people who created this little shit of a character did. And they even replaced one of the coolest character in video games with it, this is hurting me.

>>712622264
ninja gaiden is not a stealth game. so the theoretical complaint of the noise is moot. i have leather work gloves and leather work boots and they make no sound and do not restrict movement once its broken in. its soft and protects against cuts. regardless it is still a videogame there is always an element of does this look cool or not. it isnt splintercell. its obvious from the design of the black falcon armor it does not impede movement in anyway. it does not have large pieces of armor jutting off that would get in the way or stuck on anything. the singular piece of armor ryu has is his headcrest which is just a forehead protector. something to protect from getting cut from a frontal sword attack. and part of the "ninja" trope.

>>712622494
you are a really sad person then. I saw people being this emotional and angry over much more important things in life than character in a video game not looking the way they want

a lot more than bdsm sex slave bara Ryu. that's for sure. also Yakumo has paint on his hands for a reason. those are ritualistic symbols associated with his clan and their techniques. Ayane had the same thing on her back in Fatal Frame 5

>>712622393
Stop using google translate. And we use english here. I just like the design.

>>712622628
This is a global phenomenon, it touches almost every aspect of life now.

this insecure faggot is going to kill himself when he finds out ryu has long hair kek

>>712622969
you spelled Ayame wrong

>>712622701
Can you customize his ritualistic buttplug too?
Maybe you can get new buttplug skins with ninjacoins too!

he cant even see this is literally just copying the modern e-boy modern psuedo emo trend on tiktok this literally is just designed to appeal to zoomers.
unashamedly so.

>>712550442
ryus leather outfit would protect against swords better than whatever this fabric is. if ryu has a bondage outfit it still makes more sense than this. take it for what you will. what is the point of the bandages on the arms? what does it protect against? nothing. it just hides how skinny he is. why give him exposed shoulders then? make it a full ninja garb and cover it up at that point. ryu also has the cool functional forearm gauntlets. which protect against forearm strikes.

this is lame. he even has the sort of stupid tattoos that are popular with zoomers. the black out style tattoos and hand tattoos and things that are just lines and geometric shapes. this was not made to add to the ninja gaiden universe this was made to make the ninja gaiden universe look appealing to zoomers.

>>712623441
it's another episode of posers in /v/ who have never played a single game in the series tries to come up with reasons to get mad

Yeah NuRyu still looks miles gayer then Yakumo does. You really should try a new angle with this.

>>712623464
>continues fantasizing about his zesty twink faggot yakuhomo and projecting it onto others

middle-aged boomer manchild who played NG1 on release is having a meltdown because NG4 is not pandering specifically to his demographic anymore

that looks fucking gay ass fuck lmao

>>712624432
you guys would absolutely call ryu gay for wearing bdsm suit if he came out today don't lie

Am I the only one that likes Ryu's new costume? I thought it looked cool when I first saw it.
Also, the only gay thing about Yakumo's outfit is the mask.

This but unironically.

>>712624514
You cannot call that gay when it looks this cool.

>>712624432
Ryu being gay isn't a new joke. Wouldn't expect a secondary shitter to know that though.

>>712624526
>Also, the only gay thing about Yakumo's outfit is the mask.
Also his hair
his body/proportions
his outfit
his tattoos
his posture

>>712624663
You should double down on it then, maybe make a thread on >>/lgbt/ and market it there while you're dilating.

>>712624526
i need to see more clear images before i have a proper opinion on ryus new outfit, a lot of people have said that the chest is really distracting and out of place looking. likes like bayformers shit or like they tried to make him look like a graphics card.

>>712624652
so cool

>>712624557
Dilate.

>>712624557
kys tranny

big fan but yakumo doesn't appeal to me so I'll have pass this one up

just let us play with a normal guy for pete's sake

>>712624557
post tits or gtfo

>>712624889
That's a man tho.

>>712624824
Still looks more menacing and masculine than yakhomo.

>>712624889
Here~!

>>712624652
the minimalism of it is what i think sells it. he looks like he is just going to take care of business quickly and efficiently. paradoxically in trying to make him look "cooler" in every game by adding more unnecessary shit to him, he looks more like a larper buying extra tacticool shit to impress people. this is the curse of appealing to the modern audience who NEEDS detail in EVERY inch of a character.

team ninja approved this humiliation btw

>>712624914
I don't think so

>>712624769
be the change you want to see in the world

>>712625042
Based and proving yet again that NG4 should have had Yaiba instead of Yakuhomo.

>>712625042
>character who is portrayed as a stupid idiot
>yaiba
>says stupid sounding thing about ryus cool outfit

in a way they are calling people who say that mouth breathers. and saying indirectly that if you say the same thing you are like yaiba. kino really.

>>712624974
he looks like a sex slave

>>712625075

not looking good

>>712625171
First Ninja Gaiden thread?

is this a bot thread?

>>712625105
sounds like cope lmao the devs themselves thought of that

>>712625171
Close, but he needs to be a greasy middle aged man.

>>712625207
honestly, NG threads should start with people posting their master ninja clears on any game in the series
too many posers itt

>>712625116
idk dude i never thought once. i thought it looked cool. maybe you are just coombrained or something? the appeal of ryus outfit is that the vast majority of it looks utilitarian. the only thing he could ditch is the scarf. there is nothing ryu can wear on his chest thats going to stop bullets. may as well make it form fitting and cut resistant to not catch on shit when hes moving around. same with the classic "ninja" pants. they look neat but offer no additional protection and would only get caught on hip level objects. may as well cut that down too. high speed low drag basically.they could have just given him fucking jeans and a tanktop but the leather is cut resistant and the forearm and shinguard will block swords.

arguably the only thing they could have done to make it look even cooler is given him some kind of chainmail to cover up the arms somehow, but honestly it probably wouldnt look as cool as this and would have looked more generic. this is basically the perfect design the way it is. how would you improve it?

>>712625207
just platinumcucks trying to one up with each other over who is gayer, looking forward to five more months of this

>>712625207
Most threads on /v/ are botted. Gotta farm those advertisers.

when a new game comes out and people are critical, people always start shitting on the old games to make it seem better. it's interesting behavior

>>712625329
We require proof.

>>712625397
>shitting
it's the truth, if you were alive and online when the older games camw out you'd shit on it too

>>712625171
yup

>>712625462
i've been terminally online for like 20 years what do you mean lol

i'm just pointing out this tactic people use as a defense mechanism it's pretty sad to be honest it's not exclusive to ng either

>>712625609
yeah because the tactic to shit on new game is disingenuous, why would you expect to have a genuine discussion?

>>712625675
>all criticism about ng4 is disingenuous
least obvious shill

>>712625675
i genuinely dislike yakumo so i dunno what you mean, i want to play as ryu not some twink

he reminds of that edgy guy from sc6 he looked out of place as well

new shiny things can be bad you know. i'll just have to pass this one up is all

>>712625609
Pointing out that the old guy objectively looks like more of a fruitcake than the new guy isn't shitting on the old game.

>>712622969

>>712625841
hey man, if you don't like how he looks then fair enough, but screaming he's gay over and over to project your fantasies is not a genuine discussion

>>712625397
They are just leftist extremists who want to inject their ideology in series that are seen as problematic and not in touch with the new normal.
Seeing sexy women and masculine men is unbearable for them.

>>712625207
It's a shill thread, did you miss the faggot shill OP linking to an IGN jewtube video glazing NG4 as the second coming of Christ

see look at this nigger lmao this is your idea of a genuine critic? KEK you can't expect people to treat you well if you shit on their table

i'm not that other guy i'm just stating my observations here

it's sad because i had to avoid dw origins because of the lame protagonist there too

Yea I agree, yakhomo is the turd and the table is NG.

>>712626096
ok troon

>>712623441
Some clear organic backlash, nothing to see here. Obviously it's not an attempt to manipulate public opinion via brute force spam by a small handful of psychotic Discord/Twitter schizos who are desperately clinging to their fractured ego after tying it to the worst game in the franchise and wanting to torpedo said franchise after being exposed for how at the end of the day they're nothing but posers.

Ninja Theory themselves had open contempt for Dante. And if you asked me who was more zesty, I'd probably say the original Dante, who cares? It's clear that he's the better character. I just don't and never have cared about the black hole of charisma that is Ryu Hayabusa beyond how good his games are.
