Ninja Gaiden 3 teaser

[iconoclast]

God fucking dammit, I may have some even worse news. I hope to God I am wrong, but if you listen to the newest interview of Hiyashi uploaded today, he says something along the lines of "in Ninja Gaiden 2, it was all about the weapons, and using different weapons to cut your enemies and the result of cutting them with these weapons. In Ninja Gaiden 3, it is about the sword only, and how the sword feels on the bone"

Jesus fucking christ there better be more that one fucking weapon in this game Hayashi or may god help you

THERE ARE NO WORDS.

This franchise is dead and buried if this is true.

And you probably can't upgrade it whenever you want, just like in Sigma 2.

Hayashi addresses some of the concerns that Ninja Gaiden fans have been panicking about. It sounds like there will be other weapons, but the guy still says, "The action itself is going to be focused on the sword this time around." so I dunno. And the QTE prompts disappear after you complete the tutorial section, but the game still goes into "bullet time", zooms in on the cut, and you still have to hit square to follow through with the attack, soooo... not much has changed.

Fuck this

Here's something to ease the pain caused by Team Ninja Dog: http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/06/09/devils_third_itagaki_e3_interview/

DoAX owns

how is DoAX2 on 360

shit sadly. The original is still the best.

Same thing happened between Rumble Roses and XX, its sequel. I really enjoyed the first one on PS2; simple rock/paper/scissors mechanic and fluid gameplay. And Lenne Hardt on entrance announcements! The second one just felt shallow and repetitive. I can't even muster the "ernh-unh-unh" required to bust its Achievements.

My Thoughts:

That sliding move is so funny it is ridiculous.
 
And lol at Ryu walking into rooms with the same hectic camera system.
 
Seriously, the engine/camera isn't made for this kinds of stuff, you either change the whole game or stop half assing it because just looking at the videos, you can see that Ninja Gaiden's core is still there.

Shit game. Oh well

I wanna play the NG2 Mission Mode but I will suck too much if I don't replay the whole game.

NG2 Mission Mode makes the base game look like some babby nintendo shit.

Never raged so hard at a game in my life.

Before I tell you what I think of Ninja Gaiden 3, let me say something up front: exploding shurikens suck. Their introduction was when I stopped playing Tomonobu Itagaki's Ninja Gaiden, as it was clear this was not my thing.

If he didn't tolerate that nor can he tolerate the new flashy direction then this series is dead for real.

Exploding Shurikens are NG2's litmus test. It weeds out the weak.
