Is anybody as hyped for these two games as I am? I can’t fucking wait and then I get ninja gaiden 4 later this year.

>>715741242 (OP)
The demo for NG Ragebound was boring and shitty. Hoping Shinobi is better, but I'm anticipating neither being worth more than $5.

I have Shinobi pre-ordered, compared to some I really loved Streets of Rage 4 and think the devs can do pretty good with the material.

>>715741242 (OP)
I just want a new 3D shinobi/nightshade
looking forward to ng4, I don't care about neo retro games

>>715741242 (OP)
After playing the demo I'd rather replay The Messenger than play Ragebound.

>>715741242 (OP)
I enjoyed the demo for Ragebound, will probably get both

Is going to be on PC NeetPass? I'm too broke to afford them.

I think Shinobi looks and sounds kinda shit compared to Revenge of Shinobi.

>>715741564
I dont think either of them are coming to gamepass

>>715741242 (OP)
Both

>>715741242 (OP)
I fucking love Ninjas.

>>715741435
Round 2 with the elevators sucks in this game.

>>715741350
>>715741451
Damn so was it bad to you guys or boring or a combination of both?

>I can’t fucking wait for 2 goyslop indie imitations and then I get goyslop gayden 4 later this year
jesus fuck, this hobby is beyond dead because gaymers can't help themselves but play utter trash

>>715742248
Who hurt you as a child to become like this?

>>715741242 (OP)
enjoyed the demo for NG more than I was expecting
Shinobi on the other hand looks cheap, even if it's well-drawn and animated the style will always remind me of flash / mobile games. also it has enemy health bars which is a sin as far as I'm concerned
would recommend Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn to everyone in this thread by the way, from the devs of Wild Guns Reloaded and The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors. ignore the filtered reviews

>>715742227
idk what they're smoking, felt great to me and I don't even really like action platformers much. it takes a little while to get going but once you understand the chaining system it's a lot of fun. harder difficulties add new enemies and placements too

>>715742248
I'm not interested in the 2d ones but holy fuck you sound like an omega faggot
go play souls slop #4000 faggot

>>715742248
>look mom i'm fitting in on 4chan!

>>715742227
Both. It was just not interesting or fun at all. The controls and mechanics were fine and responsive but after completing two levels I felt no desire to ever play more.

>>715741242 (OP)
Not exactly hyped, it's typical indie shit that doesn't care about the source material, so they try to reinvent the wheel for the sake of it.
SoR4 was a lighting in a bottle, a miracle even in this day and age, it still can be played exactly like SoR2, has the same pacing and the whole combo system was entirely optional and not some over the top anime juggle fest forced upon you. Pretty much the only bad aspect of it was the combo system if you ever played Mania, since you had to try-hard the entire game not to get counter-punched in 1 frame by one of the enemies. This ranges from ok to bad depending on the character you play as, since some have more recovery frames. But generally casuals played normal or easy so no one cared.
New Shinobi is only made by SoR4 art guys, not the gameplay designers, we know its Sega doing the game design, and its metroidvania slow burn shit, which is the opposite of Shinobi.
Ragebound is much better in comparison, proper fast pace level design, it's just that the devs really fucking insist on putting gimmick shit like colored enemies or 2nd character gimmick puzzle that really adds nothing to the gameplay outside of making simon-says chore moments in your game. Also, the level design and gimmick of bouncing off enemies just scream The Messenger, so instead of the game having Guillotine Throw like NG arcade did, you bounce off the enemies constantly and can basically just avoid everything unscathed.
Natsume Atari I think is the only GOAT retro dev, those are actual old heads that made the original games and remade Ninja Warriors and KAGE Shadow of the Ninja. Those are fantastic games without the modern gimmick shit that most indies insist on adding all the time.
Anyway, I will still play both, can't say no to this genre.

>>715741775
*sad neet noises*

>>715742227
Nta but I think the demo doesn't truly shine until you unlock the Hard Mode stage. It's still fun until then but it doesn't feel as frantic as it should, and the game is neatly divided up into combat and platforming sections. The Hard level does a fantastic job of integrating the two

>>715741242 (OP)
I have both physical copies pre ordered because I love ninja games.

>>715741564
they're like $25 each
broke ass nigga

>>715742248
if you think that's bad anon, i'm hyped for all of the above AND ghost of yotei. so there are plenty more reasons for a /v/ermin like you to seethe

I preordered Shinobi.

>>715741350
fpbp

>>715743274
Gigabased frogbro

>>715742227
It's boring but well executed. It's shit that's been done dozens of times already. The main gimmick seems to be prioritizing enemies with specific attacks which I found annoying.

>>715743019
well you might be able to pirate them

>>715742227
In a post- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown world, a 2D hack and slash platformer is going to have to try a lot harder than Ragebound does. It feels like shit to play in comparison.

>Shinobi

I like Dotemu

>Ninja Gaiden

Blasphemous is cool, but I'm not feeling this game

>>715742049
nah you're just shit. it only gets challenging at stage 6.

>>715741242 (OP)
I'm hyped for Ragebound. I don't like the way Shinobi looks.

>>715742705
>Anon has a skill issue and complains about dumb things

>>715741242 (OP)
Not a fan of sidescrollers but man I loved shinobi on ps2

Ragebound's demo was fun. The lady ninja sections felt superfluous though.

I'm more interested in Shinobi. The bigger focus on melee combat is a little curious, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Shinobi is a fairly varied series as-is, after all.

Is Shinobi the same devs as Streets of Rage 4? I thought SOR4 looked shit in videos but when I played it I loved it.

>>715742705
>its metroidvania slow burn shit
It's not.

>>715745542
Shinobi was already more melee focused with the 3DS game, shuriken became a supplement like in the PS2 release. But honestly? If you played Shinobi 3 with the secret code for 6-button controls (or the hack that lets you enable them from the start), free access to the sword and guard without having to throw a shuriken first or be point-blank drastically changes how the game can be played.

It will never top this game.

>>715746000
It's funny how little fucks japs gave about copyright in the 80s. I lost count of how many games straight up copypasted the xenomorph. Videogames were still small enough that shit like this could fly under the radar.

>>715741242 (OP)
Ninja bros eatin good this year.

>>715741242 (OP)
no
both of them are generic shit of 'gotta go fast'

now fuck off shill

I'll pirate them, tho and help others pirate too :-)

>>715746479
shinobi has denuvo

>>715746479
>both of them are generic shit of 'gotta go fast'
Shinobi seems to be explorative levels and action segments both, so hey. But these are arcade action style games, not stealth titles.

>>715745829
It is, the 40 minute gameplay someone published is them going through empty wide rooms with collectibles to get later in the game and you can teleport around the entire map. You have the same map screen like in a normal metroidvania. It isn't a stage based arcade game like Shinobi is or even SoR4 was.

>>715741242 (OP)
Shinobi looks bad. Its looks worse than genesis one. Should have been pixels

>>715745853
That's true--which is why I said the series was already quite varied, including the GG games--but even the 3DS game doesn't put as much emphasis on combos as Art of Vengeance seems to. I don't know that it's a bad change, it's just a little surprising. I think I'd be less surprised if SEGA were developing it themselves.

>>715747230
Yes. It is. You can return to previous levels though.

>>715741242 (OP)
I'll skip NG4 for now as I've yet to play any of the 3D NG games yet, but I'm definitely picking up those two.
I'm particularly pumped for Shinobi.
I hope Sega really holds on to their relationship with Lizardcube. Don't want another Mania Team situation on our hands. These guys can keep pumping out great games for years, I believe.

>>715741242 (OP)
its fucked up how both new ninja gaiden games coming out don't star ryu

>>715746298
I played the Game Gear port of Streets of Rage 2 a while back, and it added in a new boss that was just The Predator. No mistaking it.

>>715747657
It happens.

>>715747657
Cause KT and TN want to reboot NG without Itagaki's version of Ryu because of legal reasons, avoiding royalties and out of spite.

>>715747578
Honestly I feel bad for whoever is handling that leaked Streets of Rage Revolution or whatever it was called. SoR4 wasn't to a lot of fan's tastes but it was still a big hit, and having to follow that up with a 3D game is practically an insurmountable task.

>>715748229
I wonder how many of those games from that big announcement video have been retooled, or quietly shuffled under the rug.
Shinobi was the clear standout of it, and here we are a couple years later with it nearly out, and the others MIA. I think people will only be asking what happened with Jet Set Radio. The others aren't really missed from what we've seen of them.
I'm a big SoR fan, and yet I care much more about seeing VF6 than whatever that SoR is supposed to be.

>>715748163
That's a retarded claim, because Ryu, 3D design and all, is in both games.

>>715748573
Ryu is being phased out and if NG5 ever happens it wont even feature him as a playable character or they'll do a reboot of a reboot and create a new Hayabusa to replace him.

>>715748509
Possibly Golden Axe and SoR might be canned. Both are from some no-name indie studios. That SoR5 game is made by a spic that did one UE4 arena fighter game, somehow they even got license to make Kunio and Riki DLC for that game.
JSR and Crazy Taxi is handled internally by Sega I believe, so it may come out in the next 3-5 years or so lol.
I guess it's partially like that HotD / Panzer Dragoon remake situation. It was announced years ago, delayed multiple times but it did eventually come out.

>>715748509
I sure hope they redid the aesthetic of Golden Axe from scratch at least

>>715749182
Fucking Heroforge characters.

>>715749182
that looks like shit

Just NG 4 for me. Already pre-ordered the deluxe.

>>715746298
>Videogames were still small enough that shit like this could fly under the radar.
Not in Revenge of Shinobi's case, they were modifying it as soon as it released overseas.

Oatmeal face was a legendary shittalker
>1UP: Did you guys think "Well maybe the average gamer isn't as good as we thought, so let's make it easy on them?"

>Itagaki: That's right. In other words, there are some people who want to beat the game, even if it means being reduced to the level of a dog; people who are not afraid to shame themselves to accomplish their goals.

>>715747230
In the very demo you're talking about you can also see the player reach a STAGE CLEARED screen at the end of the stage.

>>715750680

>>715750093
Revenge of Shinobi's copyright issues are so bad that when M2 was doing the virtual console release, they changed the face on the title screen to one of their devs because it was ANOTHER infringement that had gone ignored until then.

Anon....

>>715745658
No. SoR4 was made by Guard Crush, who are working on a game called Absolum. Lizard Cube just did the art for SoR4 and now Shinobi.
