E33 has already won.

I just want a new 6th gen shinobi

the enemy turning white like that when hit looks kinda stupid, should be more transparent of an effect and not 100% opacity

>>717081252 (OP)
Demo was fun but not sure yet.

NOT SO FAST

>>717081252 (OP)
You mean personal goty? Because there's no way a 2d platformer would win anything at Geoff's show
That said this was the first time I enjoyed a Shinobi game

>>717081539
Pretty much. E33 has no chance against Death Stranding 2.

>>717081323
But do the E33 devs have a trans-inclusive feminist team and hiring policy??

Not so fast.

You can attack monke while he's standing on the spear, also you can break the HA if you attack him fast enough in the chest pounding animation

>>717081252 (OP)
looks alright
>>717081418
This. it looks really cheap, especially since the game is using sprites that look more handdrawn instead of pixel art

Blasphemous 3 vs Coughing Shinobi

It's the same shit

Burzi na xD

>>717081252 (OP)
Wut ? No, it's fucking terrible.

>>717084713
you didn't play either
>>717081252 (OP)
according to the demo - no

>>717081252 (OP)
It looked great and played great but I don't know. Something felt wrong in a way I can't describe. Also the VA in Japanese are way too loud

I hate that the boss has a set pattern, but other than that, it's kind of the best shinobi game. They implemented all the shinobi mechanics, but I still think the game should have two planes, like the OG game. It seems much better than Ragebound, except for the price and DRM. Fuck the lack of regional pricing.

>>717083843
All this nitpicking, it's clear that you guys don't want to admit that Westerners are BFTOING the Japanese on their own turf. The game looks and plays great, my personal nitpick is the boss design. Too repetitive.

I want to play this since I finish normal difficulty in Ragebound but I'm on PC and SEGA put denuvo on it. It looks amazing though.

>>717081252 (OP)
No. I was extremely excited on announcement but the demo screams 7/10 (which is still absolutely a good game but not remotely GOTY material).
>Very easy combat between the super strong dodges and middling enemy design; juggling enemies gets old even with all upgrades
>Saving up ninpo/ninjutsu can only make it easier
>Moves that are staples to Shinobi like the Kunai fan jump either gone or will be mid-late game upgrades
>Metroidvania broken up into "stages" that feels almost like the weakest version of either
>Wall cling + airdash spike-room style platforming challenges instead of something more akin to classic Shinobi games
There's better 2D ninja action platformers from the mid-2020s like Shadow of the Ninja Reborn and NG Ragebound but it's still good. It's much more clear why GuardCrush was behind the gameplay of SoR4 while LizardCube was mostly there for the art (which is incredible in AoV to be fair).

Shinobi III, 2002, Nightshade, and 3DS reign supreme. 3DS is the best one but people aren't ready for that discussion.

Play Shadow of the Ninja Reborn

we eatin' good

Am I retarded or do the main 4 Shinobi games (arcade, Revenge, Shadow Dancer, 3) just control like shit? Everything feels really stiff and slow and I’m wondering if it’s just me not understanding how to play.
I either over-jump with the weird double/flip move, take too long on samurai enemies/bosses, etc

>>717087739
I-it's just the first stage...
But yeah I dont get the Metroid tropes, there had to be a more interesting way to make levels, like well hidden secrets.

damn he is slower than a runescape boss lol

3 is smooth. The only issue I see is if you're too retarded to understand how the double jumps work

>>717088130
They are complaining about a problem they created themselves.

How's the BGM? The new NG's was kino.

>>717087739
>Shinobi III, 2002, Nightshade, and 3DS reign supreme. 3DS is the best one but people aren't ready for that discussion.
The game combines all the Shinobi games into one. I don't know what you're complaining about, anon.

>ragebound
Worse than Shinobi, and it doesn't play like Ninja Gaiden.
>Ninja Warriors
BMUP

>>717081443
Have you ever considered that perhaps they *did* buy an ad? Hiro has been known to sell adspace as posts on 2ch, why would you expect any different here?

>>717081287

>>717088208
Ted López/10 so far. I think we didn't get any Koshiro track in the demo.

>>717081252 (OP)
What the fuck is the point of that aoe attack, other than to waste the player's time

>>717087813
and ninja savior once again

>>717087859
I can't argue on arcade at all and find Revenge/Dancer a bit annoying too, but I do think III manages to strike a pretty good balance. There's some VERY tight platforming in the final stages that requires a strong understanding of how it works but by the time you get there you should kind of have a feel for it. If you want Shinobi III with smoother controls though play the 3DS one, it feels like a mechanical sequel in a lot of ways while still having its own ideas.

>>717088204
>Ukraine are defending themselves, they caused this Russian aggression!
Very Russian of you, Ivan. Still not seeing the irony though.

Actually it was USA kickstarting the conflict because muh profits.

>>717088381
Shinobi console is much better. Sega's arcade division shone when they had unlimited budgets; anything that was “budget” was immediately worse than any equivalent console game. Shinobi is a good example of this, because console games felt like the premium experience.

>>717081252 (OP)
Not with that art style

No, anon. I'm not even going to buy the game (too expensive), but I see when people are just nitpicking stuff.

>>717081252 (OP)
not even game of the day, jesus dude

>>717081252 (OP)
looks easy as fuck modernslop

>>717088214
>The game combines all the Shinobi games into one.
Do you mean AoV or 3DS? Because I don't really see it in the former outside of some of the basic actions and the executions visually being similar to 2002's. 3DS felt like it took ideas from every prior Shinobi in some capacity, even the weird Saturn one's guarding.

>>Ninja Warriors
>BMUP
Shadow of the Ninja Reborn, anon, not The Ninja Warriors Once Again. Same team, different genre. It's better than Ragebound and AoV's demo easily, and I like all three.

>>717081252 (OP)
The game looks good but the stages look a bit to empty for the widescreen ratio.

>>717088698
I saw the 3D Shinobi Tate system, that same awkward jump kick in the trailer. I don't know if the game will come with parry and other Shinobi mechanics, but it looks like it will be an all-in-one. Even the combat is Shinobi-like with special moves, except for hand-to-hand combat, which is the only original feature of the game. Some ideas may be subtle; at first glance, you think the game isn't doing them, when it actually is.

>>717089024
According to a Famitsu interview, parrying/defensive options are limited to water magic that I assume it's a ninpo.

>>717088698
built like a refrigerator

>>717089024
AoV's executions don't function the same as 2002 or Nightshade's Tate kill chains. It's very clear that it was inspired by it but it's not the same mechanic.

>>717087739
Post your no hit full completion S rank of the first stage anon, let's see how good you actually are

>>717089432
And that's a good thing.

>>717089670
I never said I'm great at games anon. AoV's combat is easy because it's forgiving even when not going hitless. The only time I even came close to death was the optional spike room platforming challenge near the end of the stage where you respawn at the start if you touch spikes. I'll still play and like it more than some other recent 2D ninja games like Ninja Kamui or Slave Zero X but it's still somewhat disappointing relative to prior Shinobis.

>>717090132
>The only time I even came close to death was the optional spike room platforming challenge near the end of the stage
Which of the two ones exactly?
All three challenge rooms also have hidden checkpoints in the middle.

>>717090436
The one towards the end where you go left at a checkpoint instead of right that starts with the white claw wall, a lot of the challenge was just realizing you need to aim and jump so that you don't actually touch the very top and bottom of each safe wall or else you'll definitely climb or jump into spikes.

Noticed how doomposters are getting desesperate?

>>717090646
>The one towards the end
Again, which one of the two?
I assume you mean the grapple one since you say you go to the left whereas the rift room has you start by going to the right.
The game's scoring system counts a lot of stuff like no hit, highest combo chain, completion of extra stage challenges like the enemy horde rooms etc., for a tutorial stage it wasn't bad at all and let's not pretend older Shinobi games were harder either.
I'm also fairly sure the execution system rewards chains more in terms of score rather than single ones, and I assure you setting up multiple execution chains while avoiding getting hit is not as easy as you say it is.

>>717081432
>fun?
how was that handholdy shit fun?
90% of the demo is teaching the player how to press jump

>>717091085
Isn't it supposed to be a tutorial?

>>717091123
ninja gaiden on NES nor any of the older shinobis needed a tutorial

>>717091123
NG demo had multiple non tutorial levels and a hard mode which was actually hard

>>717091234
Because they had printed manuals you were supposed to read in your way back to home from the store but good luck finding a new game with a manual. God I miss them

>>717081252 (OP)
It can be your personal GOTY, but we all know it has no shot at the award

>>717091020
The hardest part about chaining executions is that the basic ninjas that help fill them out die so easily, but I suppose that's what the kunai are for. You are making me want to replay it for score, which makes me think that the Arcade Mode will be a lot more enjoyable than the Metroidvania format the story is going to be in.
>for a tutorial stage it wasn't bad at all and let's not pretend older Shinobi games were harder either.
It's less that it was hard and more that it didn't feel like Shinobi level design to me, I just mentioned it as an example of the only place where my health got low. The same room could've been in that Prince of Persia Metroidvania from last year.

>>717091436
yet, if something like It takes two won...

>>717081252 (OP)
This game feels a little similar to prince of persia the lost crown to me and that was my goty last year so this might be the same

>>717091436
Most of my personal GOTYCs for any given year never even get nominated at awards. Last year Astro Bot winning was the closest when I'd at best have it in my Top 10 (Kunitsu-Gami, Magenta Horizon, UFO50, Shadow of the Ninja Reborn, Tetrachroma, SXS Generations, and maybe a couple other indies were better). This year will absolutely be going to one out of E33, DS2, or Bananza in terms of awards with some Euro awards going to KCD2, and the only one of those I'm even interested in is DK but I'm not buying a Switch 2 for one game (didn't buy a PS5 for one game either, I borrowed a friend's for Astro Bot).

when we briefly had manuals as part of the main menu during the indie boom, it was bliss. even KC:D1 had a menu manual. forced tutorials need to die unless you make the active decision to go to a training area to master a move or something.
