The recent previews give me hope in the game .

ara-ara?

Yakumo destroys Umineko and Higurashi

>>717689751 (OP)
It looks great

hopefully tis better than DMC4

>>717690214
trvke

>>717690693
It will be

PCGamer said parry feels bad compared to Sekiro and is way too hard. Not even good parryslop lol.

>>717689802
Ara ara.

What's cool is that even against the bosses Yakumo faces, Ryu has finishers for them too in Chapter Challenge.

>>717691687
God I hope he gets to plap those tiddies

>>717691627
It's a completely different type of parry, they're just too retarded to realize it

>>717691627
Fuck Sekiro

>>717691984
Fromsoft has actually destroyed Journalists minds.

>>717691868
He will

>Yakumo is a new gen ninja
>Doesn't use a GUN

>>717691627
Generally speaking, you can safely assume that the opposite of whatever PC Gamer says is true

>>717691687
DRAWANON WHERE ARE YOU

>>717691687
Yakumo dominates her btw

>>717692871
People tend to forget real life ninjas and samurais used guns for hundreds of years

Whenever you see any article on this, check if the author has a Youtube channel with NG gameplay from before 2020. If they do, you are allowed to read what they say.

>>717693906
just played ng2 on xenia, works okay but sound is bugged sometimes

>>717694283
yeah in real NG you hold and release button for awesome

>>717694450
One of Yakumo's battles on the fights that actually had music even had nice rock music so I started thinking of Shadow the Hedgehog. His fight against Dragon Knight Samurai Dude even has vocals.

>>717694454

>revengeance 2
>good

Rewatched the first trailer where we see Yakumo fight Ryu. It seems like he really is a head smaller than Ryu lmao.

You didn't play revengeance

>>717689751 (OP)
It looks good. Any chance we'll get a demo before release?

>>717696945
Yakumo is a short guy. He's even shorter than Seori, the games Heroine.

>>717697106
He's probably 170cm

>>717697065
Possibly. Gamescom is confirmed to have one so there's no real reason for a public demo down the line.

>Tomoko Nishii (Art Director): Seori's character was established first with the setting, “She is this kind of person,” and “she is the priestess of the Black Dragon.” The designers then developed the keywords and translated them into visuals. While there are various types of heroines, such as those who protect a young girl or act as a guide, Seori is specifically designed as the “older sister who guides Yakumo.”
>However, since the direction Seori guides Yakumo toward is “darkness,” it's more about designing her as an older sister who leads Yakumo to a darker place rather than bringing him to a brighter one (laughs)
>She is bound not just for fetishistic reasons, but because it serves a proper role.
>Yakumo's height is on the shorter side for this type of action game. This was intentional to create contrast between the characters, emphasizing Seori's “older sister” vibe and the difference between her and Ryu. Yakumo's smaller stature also makes the enemies seem more powerful and highlights Ryu's role as the great super ninja leading the way. These concepts are embedded in the design.

>>717689751 (OP)
Looks great. The twitter clips we saw before had garbage audio mixing and were questionable but the hour of footage we got was great. I thought enemies were a bit passive but it was on normal so maybe we'll get a good mentor/mn difficulty

>>717694715
>one of the strongest elements of MGR that kept it alive, revived it and constantly keeps it in people's memory is its soundtrack
>a ton of DMC5's sales were outright due to the popularity stemming from the music hitting it off
>they get Platinum's composers to do some similar songs and don't advertise with them whatsoever
Koei Tecmo really are fucking stupid.

>>717697418
He will be GUIDED COCK FIRST into her PUSSY

>>717697418
Ominous.

>>717697654
She will get corrected by Yakumo

>>717697418
>She is bound not just for fetishistic reasons, but because it serves a proper role.

>>717697418
Oh okay, she’s the Black Dragon and he’s going to unwittingly release her seal. The pillory is kind of a giveaway

I hope the British guy isn't evil this time, but I think he has Aizen's Japanese VA. which is a red flag.

>>717697553
Buttrock fucking sucks, you perpetually 13 year old faggot.

>JUST

>>717691627
It functions similarly to clashing in DMC.

>>717697106
I am not joking. Yakumo's character got 100% better to me when I learned he was short.

>>717698848
Why

>>717697418
>being forced to play as a manlet instead of Ryu
Fuck this gay shit

>Yakumo is short, slender, and can be bratty
Made for rape by both women and men alike.

>>717698948
Because he wants manlet representation

>>717699028
Doku.....you lost

>>717698948
He... he looks like me..

He's built like me... I... thank you

>>717697418

What if he's actually 5 foot 8

>>717698948
That makes him endearing imo.

We love short kings here.

>>717689751 (OP)
It got me hyped. This and nioh 3 is just about all I'm looking forward too

It wild how much bringing up height makes manlets absolutely lose their minds. The insecurity is real.

>It wild how
Quiet, Paco

why is it always thirdies randomly going on about "manlets"

I was on the fence since everyone with talent left platinum a long time ago but it looks good. Only normal difficulty in the 1hr video but I think it could be great.

>>717700163
i never said the games suck
stop projecting your shit

>>717700336
Then what are you even saying? Even if you're not saying these games sucks, I will. You played shit games and you can't draw a conclusion on the entire genre on these 2 games alone.

>Ryu get Ninpo

This

>>717700537
ive played more of this genre than you ever will
from the top like ngb, dmc3, and bayo to the absolute bottom like genji days of the blade, afro samurai, and hellboy science of evil
the genre has been stagnant shit for over 2 decades and basic things like proper camerawork still havent been addressed, even by the most acclaimed creators of the genre like platinum
like i said, bayo 3 was a nice reminder, and yaiba made me feel warm again sinking back in that shitpool

I enjoyed Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z

>>717700579
Microjewsoft probably told them to cut content and resell it as DLC.

It's not Genji 1 good but still

Does that include combat skills as well or not?

That would be retarded but I wouldn't put it past Plat to fuck it up somehow.

That just makes the game sound better lmao.

TODAY I FINISHED NINJA GAIDEN BLACK ON MASTER NINJA
FUUUUUAAAAAAAARK I AM A MASTER NINJA

>>717696903
It doesn't play like Revengeance at all, but yeah Revengeance is a pretty fun game. Since Platinum worked on the guy savage nightmare sections in the MGS3 remake we might have a chance at MGR2.

>>717705627
good job anon

>>717705756
>It doesn't play like Revengeance at all, but yeah Revengeance is a pretty fun game. Since Platinum worked on the guy savage nightmare sections in the MGS3
Fucking SERIOUSLY?! That section is back?!

>>717705964
>not covered in blood
This is inaccurate.

>>717706001
People who played it pre-release said that Platinum was credited for that section. We haven't seen any footage of it though.

This is the most glowing praise of NG4 I could imagine.

how? Is there a timer for UTs based on the character being on a surface?

>>717697654
>>717697418
I like this dark dragon priestess
Do you think she'll reforge the 魔刀 for Yakumo to use?

>>717707167
it just doesn't work until you buy it I guess

>>717707025
I don't get the hate, dodge offset is a good mechanic and adding it to NG doesn't negatively impact the combat.
I fucking wish copying good mechanics was more common, most action games would benefit from copying NG mechanics like on-landings

>>717707745
dodge offset isn't but, but I hate how they homogenize ninja gaiden because they are retarded and have to tack on every gimmick they are known for

The recent previews give me despair in the game .

>literally DMC 4 of Ninja Gaiden
Lmao. It's gonna be a decent game, but 11 years from now Ninja Gaiden 5 will be good.

>>717708764
Why’d you sign your own post?

>>717709110
NG5 will come out in 3~4 years following the success of NG4.

>>717700163
Bayo 3 doesn't remotely approach "especially terrible" or the nadir of the genre by any reasonable standard, there are probably genuine hundreds of action games and beat 'em ups worse than it

>>717708708
Ryu is also a manlet

>>717696008
Nostalgia aside, NG2 has godawful boss design.

>>717709898
Show us your gameplay fighting a boss and explain why that is. We would like to know.

>>717692842
that UT animation is so bad.

>>717710670
Same for Yakumo's UT, plat figured out a way to de-incentivize players from using it by outsourcing those shitty UT animations to some third world shithole studio.

>>717710339
Because every boss is just finding what 1 attack consistently works and spamming it until they die.

fucking platinum and their obsession with "gameplay" nobody asked for
nobody wants to waste time on retarded sonic on rails sections

>>717711183
What's wrong with it

>>717711415
That's every boss ever made thougheverbeit. Give me three examples that are considered good to you.

>>717711764
>That's every boss ever made thougheverbeit
You don't play video games

>>717709110
More like DmC of the franchise. DMC4 still felt like it was from the same studio. NG4 looks like a completely different interpretation like Ninja Theory’s DmC.

>>717711573
I hope they have a shmup section! They’ve never done that one before!

>>717709782
He's no manlet

Stop replying to me tranny

>>717710670
Platinum animation style just doesn’t fit Ninja Gaiden.

>anon smolders with generic rage

Combat looks solid but the focus on Yakumo and no Ryu weapons are my main critiques right now. I know Ryu's VA is apparently really old but I still wish the series would've returned with him in the spotlight.

kys tranny

>>717713695
Meant for >>717712410

I know I shouldn't have expected anything from the moment I heard Platinum was involved, but every single new piece of info makes me lose both interest and hope in action games in general.

>>717713898
opposite for me

>>717713967
Good for you I guess, but do you think this game deserves to be called Ninja Gaiden?

>>717714035
Yes

>>717714035
this literally started as a platformer franchise bro

>>717714163
and the platformer fans got ragebound, this is supposed to be ninja gaiden 4, why is it an entirely different game?

>>717714224
>entirely different
No more different from 04 than 2 was

>>717707745
>dodge offset is a good mechanic
Dodge Offset is a pointless mechanic.
Bayo's combos could simply continue where they left off without needing to hold an attack button during the dodge.
Or Bayo's combos could do some proper damage with each hit instead of nearly all damage coming from the Wicked Weave at the end.

>>717714275
weak bait, the very first moment you get a handle of ryu in ng2 in front of muramasa shop you immediately get into the groove of things if you played ngb, this game isnt building on anything remotely ng and you know it.

>>717714340
Have you played it

>>717714340
you could see it if you took itagaki's crust off your eyes vro

>>717714424
do i have to play dmc3 to understand that it's a completely different game from ngb?
>>717714492
mad that your entire genre got mogged by a literal autistic hack with no particular game dev skills?

>>717714224
NTA but Ragebound is different from the old games too. The Shinobi fans are also going through the same thing because the new game is very different from the old ones.
I don’t really care if the game isn’t like NGB or NG2, I just want it to be fun and good.

>>717714567
This looks more like Ninja Gaiden than DMC3, you can choose to not see it if you want

>>717714567
RE mogged 2

Imagine a world where NG2 gets bashed for being "NOTHING LIKE NGB"

>ninja gaiden thread
>no one's talking about the most recent Ragebound
???

>>717715434
For a Ninja Gaiden title, this game is surprisingly very newbie friendly.

The game default difficulty is very forgiving where getting hit only gets your HP down by around 10% and there are many ways to recover HP. There's Assist Mode where you can turn the damage down, increase pogo window and increase charged attack duration, but there's no way to make the game harder. very weird.

It's very fast paced as enemy dies in 1 hit except big enemy where you have to kill them with a charged attack (still 1 shot). Platforming is pretty easy, but I hate that if you fall off, it sends you all the back all the way to the previous checkpoint instead of the nearby ledge.

It's a decently fun game, but nothing spectacular. very short. about 4 hours.
7/10

>>717702721
It's too bad we never got a character action soul eater game. Or a platnium Kill la Kill game. Wasted opportunity if you ask me.

>>717702721
>>717715618
Play God eater and use the scythe in that

>>717715434

This is more about the sub fandoms than the games themselves. 04 was already a great game that had it's fans.
