Bros, NG 4 looks fucking awesome. I was a doomer but the hype is getting to me.
Really close to pre-ordering deluxe now

>>718784956 (OP)
I'm gonna get it, shit looks better than Bayo 1 atp, it might even end up being the best platinum game ever if the quality is good all the way through.
Very ironic considering all the big names at platinum left and now the first game we see from them after that looks better than all of their output from the last 10+ years.

Denuvo status?

>>718786293
I like this weapon, it's neat.

Don't pre-order, bros. It just tells the companies that your wallet can be manipulated by marketing

>>718786495
I'm sorry bro, I'm too weak. It looks too fun.

How many seconds before ng2 schizo gets here? As someone who was there for ffxv launch, I could bet a million that this is barry.

>>718786352
>dual katana / edge blade
>rapier / drill polearm
>bo staff / rocket hammer
>arms / ninja funbox
The weapons are all super sick, I'm not even sure which one I'm most looking forward to at this point although I might be leaning drill myself.

>>718786824
The most I'm excited for is Ryu. It seems like he is at his peak in this game.

>>718786824
All weapons are sick, thankfully you can just swap between them in real time.

>>718787820
Grim. Truly grim.

>>718784956 (OP)
I hope they delay the game. If it comes out on the same day as Bloodlines it's gonna be DOA

>>718786824
Where are these images from? They seem new.

>>718788118
I don't think NG and Bloodlines has a lot of audience overlap.

>>718787693
This looks like such a breath of fresh air after years of slowly rolling on the ground and poking the enemy once or parrying their attacks until a bar fills up and then you can do damage to them.

Which one of you is this lmao?

Reminder that not buying NG4 means:
>The death of Ninja Gaiden
>The death of the character action genre
>The next 10 years filled with roll-slop

>>718788186
All the clueless normies who may have checked it out because their favorite e-celeb streamed will be in bloodlines

Bros does the ninja gaiden sigma 2 black mod works on gamepass?

I have the cracked version but the faggot piece of shit modder doesn't allow the mod to work if your copy of the game is not legit.

>>718784956 (OP)
NG4 plot leak:

This shot from the trailer is taken from the aftermath of the last time Yakumo and Ryu clash with eachother. Yakumo uses his special powers to defeat Ryu and is deciding whether to give Ryu the death blow or spare his life. The shot is Yakumo looking at the severely cut down and battered body of Ryu. Seori begs Yakumo that he shouldn't kill Ryu, because both the dragon ninja clan and raven clan are descendants from the dark dragon and both have their role to play. She reminds Yakumo that his objective is to kill the dark dragon and with Ryu Hayabusa defeated, he can proceed and fight the dark dragon without other forces trying to interrupt and stop him. Yakumo spares Ryu as he concludes that Ryu won't get in his way anymore and continues on.

During this game it will be revealed that the dark dragon is acting as a bullwark to prevent a greater evil from entering the human world and that the demons that were allowed to enter the human world with the advent of the dark dragon were meant as obstacles for the various ninja clans to overcome, so humanity could grow stronger and one day be ready to face what lies beyond. The dark dragon also bestowed powers to the various ninja clans. The DDO and Ryu believe that the best strategy is to keep the dark dragon in a prison seal indefinitely, Ryu literally has a line in the game in which he admits that he is afraid of what lies beyond the dark dragon and doesn't want to risk a devestation to humanity, while Yakumo and the Raven Clan believe that the Raven Clan is strong enough to once and for all kill the dark dragon and face whatever lies beyond and exterminate that and the source of the demons so that humanity can finally be free from it all.

Yakumo proceeds to kill the dark dragon and the game ends. The DLC sets up Yakumo and Ryu as the two masters who will have to face a greater evil. The DLC is an interoduction to a follow up world for a potential Ninja Gaiden 5.

>>718788452
Yeah but bloodlines is gonna flop on metacritic while NG4 will probably get mid high 80's.

>>718788860
>Yakumo uses his special powers
What are his special powers?

>>718788860
Nigga Seori was begging Ryu to spare Yakumo because the whole world is at steak .

>>718788485
he's literally me fr fr

>>718784956 (OP)
Honestly at first the seemingly lack of gravity when doing air combos bothered me but seeing stuff like this with more vertical areas with flying enemies and being able to basically operate on two different planes, on the ground and in the air, makes me more interested. I was definitely dooming as well at first but the more I see, the more I start to like it. Wish I could say the same about that other action game coming out where the more I see the more I don't like. Talkin bout Lost Soul Aside.

The Hayabusa clan is the Dragon Lineage
Yakumo has a skin that is called Dark Dragon's Descendant
Is the Raven Clan the Dark Dragon's Lineage?
I hope there is still a secret weapon or mechanic for Yakumo. I think obtaining some special weapon should be in all NGs and there should be one for Yakumo since he is the MC
In 1 it was TDS
In 2 it was TDS and then BotA
In 3 it was BotA
In 4 Ryu seemingly starts with TDS and BotA is destroyed.
Raven Clan should have some special weapon as well.

>>718788860
Yakumo is a chad, Platinum Games is going all out.

>>718784956 (OP)
They even made the twiligth tier vampire fag from NG2 look kinda cool which makes want to replay 2, this is hype

>>718789556
Ryu starts with the regular DS in 4 as well, you can see how it doesn't have the eye of the dragon in some of gameplay vids.

>>718788987
He can fly and guillotine throw in mid air

>>718789920
It's a new fiend, his name is Achilles.

>>718789951
I think it does have the eye, it's just not glowing. Probably some story stuff because of the dark dragon in the sky raining cursed blood

>>718790129

Yeah Team Ninja would never approve this. Try again.

okay im sold. when is release?

>>718791760
Oct 21st.

I'm just glad to finally get a new proper Platinum game not funded by Nintendo. I feel their influence on PG was to make their games less combat focused and more gimmicky. NG4 looks like its actually designed for people who enjoy Action games, unlike whatever the fuck Bayo 3 was

>>718790851
I can't wait for your tears when Yakumo BTFO's ad humiliates Ryu.

>The DLC is called "Two Masters"
Would you rather have it be a story expansion or some sort of a coop mode?

>>718792180
story expansion. I don't care about co-op

>>718791971
>enemies are aggressive
Bros... the narrative...

>>718792180
If its story DLC I want additional gameplay mechanics to carry over into the main game. I hate when extra content is "sectioned off" in action games like how playing Sam in MGR's DLC was really fun but he's locked away in his own little mini campaign you can beat in like an hour. I was worried NG4 would be similar with Ryu's playstyle being totally disconnected from Yakumo like its own game but thankfully they confirmed that he fights the same enemies and you can play as either character once you beat the game

>>718792180
Co op would be really fun but I think I'd rather see more straightforward content.

>>718786819
Didn't take long.

>>718790330
Note : Yakumo means Hector in japanese.

So like, what's the chronology of those games? Do the newer games take place before the NES games? The recently released 2d one takes place at the same time as NES NG1 and the black spiders' thing with Genshin already happened.

>>718792180
Game-play expansion, as in more missions. Story would happen alongside that obviously. I want Ryu focused missions along with more of his weapon types. In other words, the expansion should fix the imbalance that's stacked towards Yakumo by giving us more Ryu focus. Specifically, give me kusarigama and claws. I could care less about co-op.

>>718792409
>>enemies are aggressive
Where?

>>718793504
In the video. They are constantly trying to attack Ryu two or three at a time.

>>718792180
Story expansion, but they reverse Yakumo and Ryu's screentime.

I dont understand what the fuck Yakumos powers are even supposed to be. He can just manipulate his blood and transform weapons? Doesnt seem to be any kind of logic behind it

>>718795068
He's Elizebeths son.

Feels like they added more hitstop and screenshake to the combat, it looks heavier and more satisfying than in earlier footage

>>718791971
>getting attached by melee and missiles at the same time

Based.

>>718792180
Option 1: By the end of the game Yakumo is a Master Ninja. 2 Masters refer to a story DLC where Yakumo and Ryu team up to take down a minor threat.

Option 2: Ryu teams up with Hayate and we go back to Hayabusa village and see some of the old characters.

>>718795619
I feel like I heard somewhere that Yakumo is already considered the master ninja of the Raven clan.

>>718786293
What skin is this? I don't recall it being shown ever

>>718796320
Pretty sure that's his default outfit bro

>the faggot piece of shit modder doesn't allow the mod to work if your copy of the game is not legit
It works on my pirated copy though. Sigma 2 pc and Black 2, both black/white mods work just fine for me, didn't pay for these games I'll buy the deluxe NG4 I swear

>>718796470
I look like this

>>718792180
Missions all with Ryu, maybe some bonus slut

>>718798439
Why would it be called two masters though if you only played as Ryu?

>>718798259
The theory that he's Genshin's son is floating around. I was wondering how the ugliest motherfucker alive could create the prettiest pretty boy there is but Elizabet might be able to make that difference.

I haven't been this impatient for a game to come out in a long while. This is gonna be a long 2 months

>>718798271
how did you do it? Did you get the pirated copy from fitgirl?
I tried everything, my game just won't launch when the mod is installed. I tried using the smart steam emu program. But I still need the original steam file, not the pirated one.

>>718784956 (OP)
The minimum requirements are really tame. Chances of it not running like shit?

>>718799460
Pure kino. The classic Ryu will always be the best too.

>>718800978
She gets mogged by all the 3 OG girls.

>>718801214
Agreed. The new characters are kinda generic, like mobile gacha-tier.

>>718800687
I still don't even know what version you're talking about. I'm pretty sure there's no gamepass version of Sigma 2, only 2 Black.
So for the later you have to make sure to pirate the Steam version and install the mod and it should just work, I don't remember ever having issue, make sure it's the right folders and the latest patch etc. For Sigma 2 I think this is the link
https://www.nexusmods.com/ninjagaidenmastercollection/mods/386?tab=description
I deleted my Sigma 2 install so I can't verify if something changed but I do remember it being bit of a pain to install correctly.

>>718801214
She's worthy of being at their sides as one of the 'Ninja Gaiden girls'.

>>718801664
Mobile gacha is soul

>>718801895
is the HD collection on gamepass tho?

>>718784956 (OP)
>pre-ordering

>>718801214
>>718801664
I think she's a match for them. We'll get some more angles to appreciate later. The shibari with the rope separating her boobs is kino, same kinda bdsm vibe as Rachel.
Idk I'm coming around on the character designs, but this is coming from someone who always liked what platinum cooked up.

>>718801214
She has a great design but a worse model.

>Seori is taller than Yakumo
Based

>>718804969
I honestly am starting to like what they are doing with Yakumo's design. His small twink stature sets him apart from Ryu.

>>718804969
She's a big girl
>>718805052
I've always liked him. It's a cool 'next generation' ninja design. Edgy and independent enough for Ryu to whip into shape when they meet.

Ninja Gaiden 3 suit, my beloved.

No Momiji no buy

>>718805052
Every ninja looks like a twink compared to Ryu with exception maybe being Strider and Scorpion

>>718806468
Didn't you watch the developer interview? They said there's a Momiji x Kasumi x Ayane mutual masturbation scene if you find all the collectables.

>>718806468
>No Momiji no buy
>Game flops and Momiji's game series dies for good
>No Momiji but buy anyway to support series
>Game does well and they see that they can sucessfuly sell it without needing old characters

>>718806468
It's annoying me they haven't revealed any of the classic characters yet. Not even Muramasa.

>>718807082
more like:
>Momiji, Ayane and Rachel in DLC to force millennials who busted nuts to them as a teenager to hand over more bucks

>>718806614
Can that be in VR too?

>>718807082
Yeah, it's a hard choice

>>718807123
There's Muramasa statues so he's probably in.

Does anyone have a webm of that part towards the end of 2 where Muramasa cuts all those dudes when meeting up with Ryu? I fucking love that part.

What elements would you guys say is essential to a NG like game? Quick and aggressive enemies and great movement are a given. But what else?

Piss5fag with physical ownership autism here, any word on if MS is doing their "code-in-a-box" shit like they did with Doom TDA and apparently the Tears of War remaster?

>>718809361
It's a Japanese game, zero percent chance. I don't know about xbox but the PS5 version will definitely have the game on the disc.

>>718784956 (OP)
No it doesn't, which is fucking mad and saddening. It looks like pure PG trash, even Ryu's gameplay.
Also no girls, Ryu should have only a few missions, and DLC locked weapons...it's shit. Please have some standards.

>>718811203
You lost doomer. It's going to be GOTD

>>718809290
Not just quick and aggressive, but versatile. They can chase you, grab you if your hunkering down, snipe you from afar, and generally catch you off guard if you get comfortable. The other thing is the player character, combat actions should be mostly committal with room for refinement and optimizations and a large moveset with techniques that border on niche. Ninja Gaiden also has really distinct movement, the weight that the player carries as they move that takes some time to master.

Ahah, NG """fans""" have no standards at all huh. They're so eager and desperate, so corny that they are ready to accept PG hijacking and shitting their IP for a new "PG action kino" yeah. To have "Ninja Guyden 4" in their library, even though it doesn't feel like one, it's because you're actually playing a retcon called 'MG:R 2 zoomer emo edition' you fucking sack.of shit. How low can you be. How pathetic can one truly be. Sorry ass niggers. Est your shit.

Why the fuck are we playing as Ninja Nero in this game? why his he the protag? I WANT RYU!!!

We're going to get some MGR style boss tracks. Rules of nature in your Ninja Gaiden. This is a Peakinum Games franchise now. The real masters of the action genre. Team Soulslike could never make a masterpiece like this

>>718784956 (OP)
I wish I could play it, but since the knife ban here in the U.K any game that has and edged or pointed weapon are also banned

>>718813848
The writers will shit all over Ryu's legacy and you will love it okay?!

>>718814126
3 already did a pretty good job of that.

>>718813848
Lets say Ryu was the protagonist where could they even take his character after the events of Razor's Edge? you guys need to accept the fact he has the same issues as Dante and Leon.

>>718814198
>3 already did a pretty good job of that.
Yeah but now they don't have to pretend anymore

>>718813848
>Why the fuck are we playing as Ninja Nero in this game? why his he the protag? I WANT RYU!!!
Ryu sucks Boomer this is Yakumo's game

>>718814059
I remember when they banned katanas in the UK the prime minister and other clowns behind it always referred to them as "ninja swords" and it always got a chuckle out of me, both for how casually racist it is and for how it made it sound like the country had a problem with too many ninjas going around fighting with swords.

>>718814631
Damn where are all the games about these British ninjas?

>>718805573
Wish it didn't come with the party arm in 4 but it's still my 2nd favorite suit overall (1st is his DOA3 suit with mask).

>>718813848
>Why the fuck are we playing as Ninja Nero in this game? why his he the protag? I WANT RYU!!!
sorry to tell you this but team ninja in fact hates Ryu regrets ever creating the character its just like how Capcom actually hates Dante from DMC

>>718813848
Ryu is already a difficult character to write and Platinum probably wants to respect him by keeping him in a role where he can remain untouchable. With a new oc they can actually write a story, try to develop him and let him struggle and grow. I think it's a good call honestly.

>>718815082
DMC 4 and megaman x7 did this everyone still hates Nero and Axl

>>718815314
Nero is absolutely not still hated and he wasn't even done particularly well in DMC4

>>718784956 (OP)
NG4 is low quality platinum slop that is antithetical to everything good about ninja gaiden.
platinum have not made a good game since Vanquish.
