Which way ninja man?

The new Shinobi game kinda looks meh compared to Revenge of Shinobi

Hated the Ninja Gaiden demo.

>>713359913 (OP)
both

Both, thank you.

>>713359913 (OP)
ragebound was good, shinobi looks good too, probably both

>>713361283
forgot to mention I will still be getting both games as I like to see old games get new entries. I hope that Golden Axe game still happens too.

Which one is using niggers for marketing?

Neither. Both are trash made by mongoloids who replaced what made their respective games appealing in the first place with uninteresting mechanics nobody asked for that don't do anything to move the genre nor the franchises forward. They're just generic indie side scrollers with an IP slapped on it as a cash grab to sucker in retards. Disgraceful. BETRAYAL.

I'll take both. I like ninjas, games, and ninjas in video games

>>713359913 (OP)
Shinobi will be first

Classic Shinobi >>>>>>> classic Ninja Gaiden

>>713362356
I don't.

>>713362565
>with uninteresting mechanics nobody asked for that don't do anything to move the genre nor the franchises forward
like?

>>713365823
Looks absolute shit.

>>713365904
Kill color coded enemy=power up.

>>713365992
NTA but you apparently don't like video games.

>>713365904
>mechanics nobody asked for
No one asked you to be here yet here you are.

>>713365823
well i assume that was very early version of the game and it will be better when they show it again

>>713359913 (OP)
Both!

>>713365823
Modern devs are so retarded. Tyris looks shit here. They need to redo these characters to look more like the original versions on the Megadrive.

>>713366190
NTA but shut the fuck up nigger. So tired of you toxic positivity zoomers that think criticizing games means you hate them. I liked the Ragebound demo but thought the hypercharge mechanic was stupid and your dumb nigger ass would tell me I hate video games.

>>713359913 (OP)
>Ninja Gaiden
Faster paced designed around running through the level fast while dispatching enemies fast with lots of replayability to get high scores.
>Shinobi
Looks to be closer to a "modern" 2d action game with a focus on bigger enemy healthbars and combos. Also, pure speculation but I think it might be a metroidvania, I haven't seen anything that suggest it's staged based.

Both games are doing different things but still keep the ninja core, with different but great looking artstyles. I will buy and enjoy both.

>>713366865
It feels like the new Shinobi is taking from Revenge, GG, III & the PS2 games.

>>713365992
Ninja Gaiden was always about replaying stages and learning the placement of enemies. Color coded enemies are no different and the game wants you to use that knowledge to kill big and/or several groups of enemies fast.

Your "vision" of a ninja gaiden is outdated and would make for a very boring game. The old NGs are good but they still exist so there is no reason to make a new one but...not do anything new.

>>713366528
I said nothing positive.
What would be positive if you overly emotional weirdos would die quicker.

>>713367205
Go slit your throat so you stop ruining nuanced game discussion, thanks.

>>713367159
>Color coded enemies are no different
Holy retard.

>>713359913 (OP)
Ragebound looks more mechanically engaging but Shinobi just looks like fun. Former will be better for score chasing, the latter for one satisfying playthrough (unless they surprise me). Ironically I think NG4 will probably be closer to that the one satisfying playthrough side of things.

>>713361283
To me Shinobi can be a lot of things; Revenge, Shadow Dancer, III, 2002/Nightshade, and 3DS all do different things that are worthwhile (you can even count the GG games and X if you want). My favorite is actually 3DS but I'm probably alone there.

>>713367468
>no argument
I accept your concession

>>713367159
I liked what Ragebound was doing but having the two Hypercharge types leads to roughly "intended" enemy dispatch orders instead of letting you fully determine your highest priority targets like most other action games (2D or 3D). Granted Ragebound doesn't always lock you in rooms so you can still kind of route around it, but skipping too many enemies will hurt your Kill score.

>>713368130
Strider has like four games and the last one was 11 years ago, he's more remembered for popping Ouroboros in MvC. That said, put the fucking people who made GnG Resurrection on a new Strider or some shit, Capcom, or give it to the Kunitsu-Gami team to make it 3D.

>Has no actual discussion besides " don't like".
Wow, how engaging.

>>713368114
The game lets you use health to give yourself a hypercharge though I really dont like how you have to stand still to self charge. There are some segments where the game lets you use hypercharge in several different ways to accomplish similar goals so there's some room for the player to figure out exactly how they personally want to approach the situation or figure out the best way to utilize the charges and enemies in a room.

>>713368613
>GnG Resurrection
Really weird how that game just came out of nowhere and was really good and we haven't heard anything like it since. Whoever the internal guys are did such a great job

>>713366865
One of the previews I saw said the game is level based but those levels are more open and can have a lot of secrets and optional areas. Nothing said about any kind of scoring system but the demo he played was in "arcade mode" which removes the story bits?

>>713359913 (OP)
This way. Fuck I wanna play metal gear rising but don't have anything to play it on GODDAMMIT!

>>713361283
Why?

>>713362369
Huh...

Is the new game still Ryu?

>>713371043
no you play as his son / grandson but he is in it

>>713371342
????

>>713366865
Well at least Shinobu does something interesting with the bigger enemy HP pool. With a few hits you can trigger the execution move that you can chain with more enemies. The bigger the chain, the bigger the reward. It's an interesting way to mimick the trope of a ninja flash-move that instakills a bunch of foes at once.

You play as Yakumo, from the Raven Clan in NG4 and Kenji, who's a Dragon Clan Ninja, in Ragebound.

>>713371043
You play as a dragon ninja trainee, the very first mission has ryu running you through a training course where you fight him at the end (which is an intended loss). Later this character gets infused with a spider clan girl who kind of acts as a spirit and is how you shoot kunai, some parts of the stages allow you to play as her temporarily

>>713371627
>It's an interesting way to mimick the trope of a ninja flash-move that instakills a bunch of foes at once.
It's obviously taking some inspiration from the PS2 shinobi games which is built around that instakill mechanic tho does it differently.

I'm not quite sure how it works tho, i've seen some footage where a guy kunai's like 3 people then does the execution while others he just doesn't/can't?

>>713372971
And apparently this game takes place during Ninja Gaiden 1 NES.

Honestly based.

>>713373203
It's my biggest worry with the game. Maybe we'll get some deep dives before launch but I kind of doubt it.

>>713372971

Oh God, my autism will not let me enjoy this game

>>713370897
NTA but it looks closer to Muramasa from the Wii, Dust: An Elysian Tail or even Shank than any of the old arcade or console style Shinobi games.
>>713368823
>just came out
Anon...it has been 4 years

>>713373971
You have gameplay videos covering two stages. Look at these if you don't mind getting spoiled.

I think it sounds fucking sick.

>>713374731
I've looked at them sure but they don't actually discuss the mechanics (or if they do, it's in another language).
