Have you played the demo for GOTY yet?

>>718137007 (OP)
I feel better about preordering after trying the demo

The demo is way better than the stupid ninja gaiden game

>>718137084
how so? looks much worse. like a cheap flash game.

>>718137084
I wasn't expecting it but it really did make Ninja Gaiden look amateur

>>718137007 (OP)
Me, I need to see that Sega Villains stage to determine if I want the deluxe edition.

It was insultingly easy to play like you have to just stop paying any attention to die. And I'm average maybe even mediocre at these types of games I'd be fucking pissed if I were an old school Shinobi fan those games were hard as hell.

Not saying the game is bad btw but they better not do that "Complete Normal Difficulty to unlock Hard" bullshit

Were the graphics pixelated on Switch 1 for anyone else?
>>718137084
Agreed, was surprised it was made by the Blasphemous team

>>718137214
I’m pretty sure they took precautions so reviewers won’t get filtered and bitch about it

>>718137084
the Shinobi demo was combo slop, hope the full game has actual combat encounters

>>718137375
I played it on my switch2 and I haven’t noticed any pixelation

>>718137214
Did you get all the secret stuff? I thought some of that was pretty challenging. Main run through though yea it was pretty easy. But it's only the first level so maybe it ramps up. Also no one is ever going to make a game that's ball busting like the old days. The 8 and 16 but era was just built different.

That was a really fast fall from grace. First Blasphemous wasn't that long ago and it was a bunch of nerd guys living in one of the most particular places of Spain.

I put it in ignore list when I found out it has Denuvo and bought Ragebound instead.

>>718137007 (OP)
I liked the demo enough, but not enough to break my "no pre-orders, no day one buys" rule. I'll check it out when it's on sale in a few months or pirate it if that takes too long.

Preggo wife with traslucent dress. Is that too much to ask for?

>>718138805

LOL
LMAO

>>718138698
Incentivizes a single (and boring) style of play at the cost of all others.
Amazing that the OG GoW1 got QTE kills right and more games don't follow that example.

>>718138805
>no pre-orders, no day one buys
Are you retarded?

>>718138915
Isn't it coming out on Switch?
>>718139021
Yeah

>>718138968
What do GOW finishers have to do with Shinobi executions, for fucks sake.
Also these are optional if you want to squeeze some more sheekels.

>>718139062
They operate on the same principle: get an enemy low and you have the option of killing them with a QTE instead of regular attacks.
The problem is that in Shinobi doing the QTE is ALWAYS better while in GoW1 it was a tradeoff. You'd always get more currency with normal kills but specific enemies would give more health/magic with their QTE kills.

>>718138968
>>718139164
kek clearly this faggot didn’t play the demo. Your shitty opinion can go to trash can now

>>718139247
>posts a screenshot from the demo
>YOU DIDN'T PLAY IT
?

>>718139164
Executions are a secondary layer of challenge to spice up crowd control. It's quickest to just focus on one enemy and then do next, this systems push you to fight multiple targets at once.
It's not only visually more flashy, it makes for more interesting moment-to-moment decissions. And as I said, these are optional and if you screw it up you just keep with the flow and don't worry about reloading.

>>718139515
>it makes for more interesting moment-to-moment decissions
It does the opposite because, again, it's ALWAYS better to kill with the QTE. Even if you kill enemies one at a time, you'll always be doing it with the QTE.

>>718139674
It isn't even a QTE
>inb4 muh semantics

>>718138610
>>718138968
Be efficient. Don't be focusing on some mashing combo setup. Kill enemies like you would Shinobi 2002, take one down, onto the next, no bullshit. This is still an action platformer.

>>718138883
Holy fuck.

>>718139721
And that’s why that faggot clearly didn’t play the demo. Anyone who did won’t have such idiotic opinion

>>718139723
Why would I do that when I get more rewards for the QTE?
>>718139906
You know what I mean faggot.

>>718139723
I think they should have just brought back the Tate mechanic instead of this weird half mechanic, I don't really understand how to reliably chain enemies without accidentally killing them

>>718140260
Check your movelist, they detail how much damage and stun they make.

>>718140260
That's where the challenge comes in. It's more of a lame score attack game than anything. I hate those.

I enjoyed it a lot more than the Ragebound demo. I just hope this is more than the usual 1-hour-game-but-replay-for-score nonsense. Just because its retro-inspired doesn't mean they cant improve these games in terms of scope or depth.

>>718140484
Don't hold your breath. There's an arcade mode with a scoring/ranking system.

>>718137084
Agreed. I was surprised by how well Ragebound was received. Dropped that shit after 20 minutes

>>718138610
Sorry, meant to post this instead

>>718137129
>sees hand drawn art with outlines
>instantly thinks of flash

Played it on the Switch 2. Backgrounds seemed fine, but the characters were grainy. I'll wait for a patch. Got a lot to play anyway.

>>718142015
>Design the game for us gaymers!
Every game designer that encourages this shit should be fired and blacklisted on the spot

>>718145595
Are you retarded? If anything that's more work than just giving a normal and hard mode.

>Balance? Catered experience? Clear direction? Vision?
Nope, too lazy and cowardly for that. Every game has to be a playground for downies and even more retarded game journalists.

I dont Care about feet, but I know that she went commando for those photoshoots

>>718138883
Damn so that's why John Shinobi was away from the gaming scene for so long

>>718138610
The only Shinobi I have played was "Revenge of Shinobi" (and that was over 25 years ago).
I remember that the game was very, very slow. What the hell is that?

I saw the trailer and well... I was happy to see Sega reviving an old franchise, I was happy to see they keep it 2D platform and not some 3rd person game like many other franchises have become, but this is not the game I have played as a kid.
It just a another game with the same name.

>>718142231
Have you seen the enemies? They don't even have animations

>>718146663
The melee ones have animations, the projectile ones have limited animations

>>718140037
>when I get more rewards for the QTE?
Because the rewards are optional you retarded nigger faggot, you can't break s rank with executions or currency gained. The only thing it calculates towards score if you get to a point of min/maxing your run is your highest chained kills which you don't need to pull off more than once in a stage, if you want anything to trivialize the demo itself you'd know it's dice kick but you're too retarded to have this conversation.

>>718146501
Shinobi 3 released after and is faster lil bro

>>718137007 (OP)
Yeah, the autistic pixel perfect platforming is not for me. If I wanted that I'd go back to playing kaizo smw hacks.

>>718137007 (OP)
The music for this game is so fucking awful and generic, wtf happened??? After Streets of Rage 4 you'd think this would have the same awesome music and instead you get generic shit you'd expect from a $10 indie trash game. Ruins the entire game for me

>>718137007 (OP)
This game is fucking dogshit lol
It's just a fucking Dead Cells ripoff, look how when you kill people all the colorful shit spills out of enemies and follows you

/thread
some of the music straight up sounds like Hades shit and the "gauntlet" sections are just Hollow Knight crap mixed with stupid fucking Celeste style autoscroller platforming sections. Fuck this gay ass faggot game, leave Shinobi dead if you're just going to ruin it like this

>>718146930
That's because the composer isn't the guy that made the OST for base SoR4, he only did few tracks for its DLC and he's a one trick pony.
Same with the gameplay if you were wondering, the SoR4 game designers aren't working on Shinobi AoV, only the art guys from Lizardcube. Sega is doing game design and other systems, presumably also why the game has a lot of FOMO bullshit attached to it like play the game early and lazy sprite recolors as paid DLC and pre-order bonuses.

>>718145595
Have you never played a board game in your entire pathetic life

>>718147073
Sad

>>718137129
What cheap flash games did you play?>>718146501
Each generation of Shinobi games were way different from different ones. This one tries to be a remix of all the previous features with modern platfirming design (some trial desigbs seems ripped off from Hollow Knight).
Trust the French.

>"A board game"=A simple 2D amiga style platformer
You sure know your shit. If I decide by using sliders that My king doesn't take damage from rooks it would make chess a really different game. Don't you think?

>>718147073
yeah fuck this game lol
Only reason I was excited was cause the "SoR4 team" was involved. The dude who did the OST isnt even doing the music

>>718148173
retardGOD

>>718147689
My point exactly, this game is fucking trash

>>718148207
Great argument, still not buying your trash game frenchie.

>>718146997
LMAO even the fucking level design is the same

How is it compared to 3ds one?

>>718148415
Both shit

>shitting on the composer of Sonic Mania, TMNT Shredder's Revenge and the only good tracks of Sonic Superstars

>>718148578
Nice reddit opinion you fucking faggot but I don't think this overrated shit composer is good

>>718148578
Yeah look at how good this music is guys, truly a shinobi classic

I did and figured it was going to be a day 1 buy but I think it might have to wait now. Almost done with Ragebound and I think I'm gonna need a break from this type of game for a bit. A few other things on my backlog that I'm working my way through, and thanks to the demo, Hell Is Us is now a day 1 buy in September for me. And then in October, Yotei and NG4 are also day 1. Only so much time and money.

>>718148696
yeah now compare to this:

I guess we've only had Tee Loopes tracks and not Koshiro ones yet because he still has it:

>>718142760
Exactly my situation. Nintendo needs yo get more dev kits out to smaller teams so we can actually get these patches out

>>718137007 (OP)
God I can't wait for this fucking game
